Such as, … Continue reading Let’s Talk Bookish: Recapping Anticipated Releases| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
Fall is the time for getting cozy and picking up an atmospheric book…you know, if you actually sit down and read. That said, I am a sucker for a book with atmosphere.

The ten books on today’s list are such books: … Continue reading Top 10 Tuesday: Ten Cozy and Atmospheric Reads| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
Not to toot my own horn, but the changes in my book buying habits have shown some realcharacter growth. I feel almost like an adult. A few months ago, I did away with the “to buy” Amazon wishlist that I’d had for roughly two years.

Allurial gets its own post this month! Since I subscribed to Allurial in July, I’d only gotten one book per box.

Even though I have this … Continue reading My First Full Allurial Box (October 2025)| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
Once again, it’s a full box from Aardvark. And I come with good news: I a seasonal retail job! Even though my library career isn’t going in the direction I want, I’m glad I will at least have this for the rest of the year.

All year, I’ve tried different ways to tackle my physical TBR. And, unfortunately, they haven’t entirely stuck. But one of the ideas that always appealed to me, as suggested by today’s Let’s Talk Bookish, is a sort of “TBR roulette.” My TBR Word document is organized into sections and, depending on which I want … Continue reading Let’s Talk Bookish: TBR Roulette| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
Yesterday, I had an interview for a seasonal retail job. Christmas season is around the corner and, as much as I appreciate my temp agency, the work tends to slow down this time of year…and I’m not…| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
By the time this goes up, I’ll be in a virtual interview for a seasonal retail position…we will see how this goes. I started off October in a bit of a rut after the end of my recent temp job.

Today’s Top 10 Tuesday is an unfortunate reminder that I’ve drifted away from series…and I don’t know why. I take that back. I do know why: too many books. In recent years, I start series and take too long to catch up. Frequently, I was distracted by other books, putting sequels off. And then, … Continue reading Top 10 Tuesday: Ten Satisfying Book Series| Jillian the Bookish Butterfly Blog
