A Fresh Start…

It's time to start over with Bookmarker and create something I enjoy. I have tried several times to get this blog going consistently, but life always ended up in the way. I have come to a point in my life where I've realized there is always going to be something in the way of the...

I’m MIA

Hi everyone! It's been months since I've last written a post and there are many different reasons for that. I wanted to write a quick update and let you know what you can expect from Bookmarker in the future. For the past year I've been working on finishing my Master's degree. I finally graduated with...

TGI Favorites: Opinions on Book Covers (Part 2)

Last Friday I did the first post in a two-part series on my opinions on book covers. I learned that what a cover looks like holds a lot of sway over whether I buy a book and why I buy a book. So, today we are going to be covering part two: book covers I...

Wild Card Wednesday

A issue that I've been dealing with a lot lately is work-life balance. I've been extremely busy at work because we went on a business trip and then have continuing education at this week. That means I get to keep up with my weekly responsibilities by working from home in the evenings. I'm very grateful...

A Song of Ice and Fire Series Mini-Review!

I was very excited to finally read A Song of Ice and Fire, so I made it my TBR pick for September. I didn't get through all of them in September, not even close. I finally finished A Dance with Dragons on November 1st. As long as it took me to read these books, I really...

November Book Challenge

I still can't believe it's already November! Today will just be a quick post to tell you all about my November Book Challenge on Instagram. There are 30 days of challenges to post a picture of everyday. I thought this would be fun for November since it's kind of the turnover between fall and winter....

October Wrap-Up!

I didn't do a very good job guys. I didn't do a very good job at all. I only got through two books this month. Two! But I am happy to say I have finally finished A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin! (the five we have so far, obviously). This month...

November TBR

Happy Halloween Everyone! I finally got through A Song of Ice and Fire in October, and I am really looking forward to getting into some of these books from hauls the last few months that I've been excited to read! First on my November TBR is Legacy of Kings by Eleanor Herman. This was on...

TGI Favorites: Opinions on Book Covers (Part One)

"Don't judge a book by it's cover." I feel like I hear that saying everyday. I know for a fact, however, that I DO judge a book by it's cover, and I do it quite a lot. I know from experience that I shouldn't do it. I've read horrible books with beautiful covers and fantastic...

October Book Haul

I did good this month guys! I have been trying really hard to cut back on my book buying lately, especially since I'm having a hard time getting through A Song of Ice and Fire. Buying books while getting through 5 books in 2 months is not a good ratio. I did buy some books...
