Best Full Cast Audiobooks

I am currently listening to Aurora Burning and it made me realize how much I love a full cast audiobook! Obviously every book is not meant to be read by a full-cast, but there are certainly some that are, usually ones with multiple POV characters. Without further ado here are a few of my favorite full-cast audiobooks... Illiminae Files This series is amazing and the audiobooks make it even better! Even if you…

Trope Tuesday: A Link-Up

I had so much fun doing my trope battles last month and #MaytheTropebeWithYou Readathon this month that I thought maybe it should be a more regular thing. Yes, Trope Tuesday is nothing new, but there are so many fun tropes out that and I would love to get some of your book recommendations. I will be starting this next week with a relatively easy trope, the Chosen One. So I hope you will…

I also created a Pinterest board with these and more in case you see…

Reevaluating Your Organization System

These are strange times, and I am sure I am not the only one that has let some of my normal organization fall by the wayside. I for one am losing track of time constantly, I still can't believe it is May. But now it is time to start thinking about returning to normal, at least a little bit. It is also a great time to reevaluate your system and see if it…

Trope Tuesday: Second Chance Romance vs. Soul Mates

This is the last trope battle of the month for the #RomanceReadsApril Instagram challenge.  I have to say I think this one may be the hardest yet, Second Chance Romance vs. Soul Mates.  Not only is this hard because a lot of times I feel like Second Chance Romance can also be soul mates, so that does complicate things.   Second Chance Romance:  Definition: A trope in fiction where a couple learns to love…
