Hi there! I'm Sara, and this site is my little slice of cyberspace (how retro to say “cyberspace,” right?) where I indulge my obsession love for books and bookish things, plus also fandom fun & going to cons and other geeky things. I’m a former-professor now-freelancer who loves books, writing, designing, computers, fashion, fitness, geeky things, and random silliness. Basically, I live in my own Wonderland after tumbling down a rabbit hole.

Instagram post 2127296505319551731_16496487240 I finally finished ACOTAR! I’d started oh, a year or more ago, ha...got sidetracked, forgot what I’d read, and went to restart but said ok, I’m starting from the beginning again. That was a week ago...I devoured it in a week (and it would have been even faster if all that life stuff didn’t get in the way). It wasn’t what I expected at all...and the last part slightly stunned me as I didn’t expect any bit of what happened. I wrote up a brief review on my blog, link in bio...spoiler warning, of course, although I’m sure everyone has already read this book & all the others...but spoiler warning just in case, hahaha. ⠀
⠀
So now I’m on to A Court of Mist and Fury...I’m hoping I’ll like it as much as the first one!⠀
⠀
This is my first Sarah J Maas book/series, but of course I’ll be reading her others very soon...if they’re all like ACOTAR, #givemeallthebooksnowplzkthx. 😂 ⠀ 
And happy #nationalreadabookday !

Instagram post 2124391438933427839_16496487240 I am so ready for fall...but here in Florida, that means I have to wait until, oh, January! 😂 But I’m starting to simply pretend the temps are changing, lol. I just want to curl up with books and a warm drink.⠀
⠀
Do you have a favorite book to read when the weather starts to turn (or you just pretend it turns, like I do)? I tend to gravitate toward ghost stories. :)⠀

Instagram post 2116386029031288422_16496487240 So many books to re-read, so little time! 😂 It’s bad enough that I have a TBR pile that’s huge, but I also have a TBRR pile that’s also huge. This is only a wee sample! 😂 #readerproblems⠀
⠀
Do you ever re-read books? I know some people don’t, but I re-read favs often...it’s like I can’t get enough of my favorite book worlds. 😍⠀

Instagram post 2113570836840513496_16496487240 Confession time: I’m a huge sci-fi geek about Battlestar Galactica, the reimagined series from 2003. So much so that back then I collected a ton of props & costumes…then met other people who loved the show…we all costumed together for many years & had a lot of fun (swipe left for a few pics to show my geekery lol!) I’ve met almost all of the actors, usually at parties, and over the years, have had all kinds of fun & shenanigans around this one fandom. A few posts about it are on my blog (dreaminginchapters.com), and I’ll probably add more eventually as I’m getting all nostalgic, lol.
.

I mention this because recently, finding the books Aurora Rising and Illuminae - I’m currently reading both - absolutely rekindled my BSG adoration & kicked it back into high gear! It was already on the verge due to my discovery of the show The Expanse (I’ll post more about that soon), but these two books just sealed the deal. I started a rewatch of the entire BSG series, pulled out all of my props & costumes & mementos, and I’m planning to start attending cons again in my getups (it’s been a few years). .

So happy to have found these two books…can’t wait to finish them & then read their sequels (of course I’ll have to wait awhile for the Aurora Rising sequel, lol).
.

Have you ever gotten so into a fandom that you have to collect All The Things? And have you ever gone to a con in costume before? :)

Instagram post 2113509942358014227_16496487240 I finally finished Sorcery of Thorns…what a story! In this pic, all the books may or may not be gathered around, whispering & chattering…just saying. 😂
⁠⠀
In a nutshell, the book is about an apprentice librarian who ends up fighting bad sorcerers; sorcerers get their power from demons they’ve made a bargain with, and one of the demons ends up being an intriguing character in his own right. The libraries don’t hold just any books, though…they hold sorcerers’ grimoires, of varying strength and wickedness, and the grimoires often have “personalities.” One of my favorite parts of the story is the idea of talking to books. Not saying I do that, but I’m not not saying it, either. 😂
⁠⠀
Do you ever talk to your books? ⁠⠀

Instagram post 2113489803189381179_16496487240 It’s closing in on that time of year…Halloween will be here soon! Well, soon-ish. Ok, in a couple of months. But still! 😂 And that means it's about time for another reread of one of my very favorite series ever - Lockwood & Co by @jonathan.stroud ! I just finished Sorcery of Thorns & one of its characters slightly reminded me of another Stroud character, which then made me keep thinking of Skull (in a jar, right there in the pic, hahaha)…and ok, it’s not even September yet but I don’t care. Break out the spooky things & grab your rapier, let’s go ghost hunting with Lucy, Lockwood, and George! (And the little framed print is free on my blog, linked in my description.)
.
If you’re not familiar with the story, here’s the gist: It takes place in a slightly alternate London where ghosts are real and started showing up about 50 years ago. No one knows why. Only children can see them, and therefore only kids can fight them, which they do with rapiers, salt bombs, and iron chains - if you end up ghost-touched, you’re usually done for. Kids that have strong Talent for seeing specters end up as “agents,” out fighting ghosts every night. Kids with less Talent end up on Night Watch. Adults? All safely indoors after dark in well-protected homes. Once someone reaches about 20 years of age, they lose their ability to see ghosts, and therefore can no longer fight. ⠀

The story follows our heroine Lucy & her experiences as an agent & her friendship & team-building (of a sort) with Lockwood & George, and then later a couple of other characters. ⠀
⠀
And Skull! I won’t say anything else about Skull other than…he’s my favorite character, lol. So funny, so snarky, and so…nope, I won’t say. 😂
⠀
The ghostly adventures that the kids go on in the books are actually very spooky, or they were to me, lol…I’d be reading late into the night & jump at every noise in the house. 😂
⠀
Is there any series (or stand-alone book) that you’ve ready many times? ⠀

Instagram post 2099760336616913366_16496487240 As a forever-crazy-fan of anything Tolkien and especially LOTR, I have many favorite moments...here are two: First, the moment in the ROTK movie of the lighting of the beacons...so beautiful and perfect. “And Rohan will answer!”⠀
⠀
Then a second fav: In the book, during the Battle of Pelennor Fields, when through Merry’s eyes we have this scene:⠀
⠀
“‘Come not between the Nazgul and his prey! Or he will not slay thee in they turn. He will bear thee away to the houses of lamentation, beyond all darkness, where thy flesh shall be devoured, and thy shriveled mind be left naked to the Lidless Eye.’⠀
⠀
“A sword rang as it was drawn. ‘Do what you will; but I will hinder it, if I may.’⠀
⠀
“‘Hinder me? Thou fool. No living man may hinder me!’⠀
⠀
“Then Merry heard of all sounds in that hour the strangest. It seemed that Dernhelm laughed, and the clear voice was like the ring of steel. ‘But no living man am I! You look upon a woman. Eowyn I am, Eomund’s daughter. You stand between me and my lord and kin. Begone, if you be not deathless! For living or dark undead, I will smite you if you touch him.’” ⠀
⠀
All of it, perfection. 😍⠀
