We all have our reasons, right? There’s lots of psychological theories regarding collecting. Wikipedia has a page about it (surprise, surprise). MD Magazine‘s got one as well. We could talk all day about why we collect and how we collect and what are the psychological things that cause us to collect, but 1. I don’t want to write… Continue reading Why Do You Collect Books?

I’m probably going to get shit for this. But hear me out. At no point in this post will you find me anything negative about writing diverse books.

Summer Reading Recommendations

Hilary @ SongsWroteMyStory12 Comments

Before we get going, I know what you’re thinking (at least, if you in a northern place like me, where summer doesn’t officially start for a while yet).

So this is something that has been on my mind lately, and I just can’t shake it. It started with this video (which you should totally watch, by the way), and has evolved from there. There have been a lot of things involved in this massive thought process I’ve been having, but two questions have come out… Continue reading The Book Blogger’s Influence on the Book World

Why Are Fantasy Worlds Less Technologically Developed Than Our World?

Hilary @ SongsWroteMyStory12 Comments

So I have recently got into audiobooks. These things are great, because it lets you effectively read when doing activities that permit you from focusing on a printed book. For me, this means while driving and cycling. However, these are the two activities during which I get most of my thinking done, leading me to… Continue reading Why Are Fantasy Worlds Less Technologically Developed Than Our World?
