My 2019 in Books: What I Read and Loved

2019 was another year for the books! This recap covers everything I read in 2018 with reviews and recommendations, plus reading goals for 2019. | Belle Brita

While I didn’t meet my Goodreads goal of 36 (new) books, I still challenged myself as a reader in 2019. I also accomplished my overall goal of working through books I already owned, which is easier said than done! Most importantly, I had fun reading, which should be the primary goal anyway. I did slack… [Read More]

15+ Books Featuring Strong Female Characters

There's more than one way to be a strong female. Good writers include a diverse range of strong female characters. These books (and book series) all include multiple strong female characters. They're messy. They're flawed. And they're here to be the literary heroine of your dreams! | Belle Brita #bookreview

Welcome to the fifteenth day of the 2019 Love Blog Challenge! Today’s prompt is Strength. Check out the announcement post for all the prompts and rules this month. You can still join the link-up for yesterday’s topic, Cooperation.  In case my media preferences aren’t perfectly obvious, Netflix tends to recommend the category “Films Featuring Strong Female Leads” (or… [Read More]

My 2018 in Books: What I Read and Loved

2018 was another year for the books! This recap covers everything I read in 2018 with reviews and recommendations, plus reading goals for 2019. | Belle Brita

2018 was another great year for the books–and yes, I mean that literally. I did a better job of setting aside time to read. I visited my local library more often while also working my way through my dozens of unread Kindle books. Overall, I’m quite happy with how I balanced out reading new books… [Read More]

What I’ve Been Reading Lately // Artemis Fowl

What I've Been Reading Lately // Artemis Fowl Series Reviewed | Will adults enjoy the Artemis Fowl books? I recently reread these after many years--and I loved them! These are my thoughts. | Belle Brita #books #bookreview

This summer, I took a break from reading new books in order to enjoy some rereads. I love fantasy fiction, and I love Young Adult novels, so rereading the Artemis Fowl books felt like a relaxing way to pass the summer. Also, is there a better description for books for middle school readers? Young Adult… [Read More]

Ready Player One Review: Book vs. Film

Ready Player One, the novel | Do you prefer the novel or the film adaptation of Ready Player One? My husband and I read the book and then watched the movie. This review contains spoilers! #bookreview

My husband and I both read Ready Player One this summer. Last week, we finally watched the film adaptation. Based on how quickly we both devoured the book, and how often we paused the movie to whine, it’s fair to say we both have strong opinions. Together we’ve written this Ready Player One review of… [Read More]

What I’ve Been Reading Lately // Young Adult Novels

If you're a parent looking for books to read with your middle-age reader, check out my book reviews! | Belle Brita #bookreview #youngadult

I might be 30 years old, but I still love reading Young Adult novels. There’s just something about teenagers and their problems that both enthralls me and endears me. I’m not alone in this… right? So today’s book recap is all about the Young Adult books I’ve read in the last few months. And by… [Read More]
