With superheroes back in popularity thanks to movies like Superman and Fantastic Four, I have seen a resurgence of comic readers, and I could not be more excited. Comics are a great and sometimes underappreciated form of storytelling as they are written off sometimes for just being superhero stories. Comics can span over all sorts of genres just like traditional books; there have also been classic stories that now have a comic adaptation in order to reach a new generation of

So wanted to make a quick post to share my thoughts on the book series I just finished which was the Sunbearer duology by Aiden Thomas. I loved the first book the Sunbearer Trials but was left feeling underwhelmed by the second book Celestial Monsters. I knew going into Book 2 that it was going to be a very different book from the first based on the cliffhanger we were left on. We still pick up where we leave off with Teo, our main character, but then we also get to have a se

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Novel Nest, hope 2026 has been kind to you so far. I wanted to make this post to give a heads up of sort to what kind of content you'll find here at the Nest in the coming year. Getting down my TBR from 2025: So as much as people say that buying books and reading them are two different hobbies, I do get tired of seeing that huge looming TBR on my bookshelf. I have a little over 40 books from my 2025 TBR and honestly, I get a sort of FOMO

Back to back, here is the final post in regard to holiday recommendations! Hope everyone found this helpful and gets into some great new reads this holiday. I wanted to end this little series of posts with a little something for everyone so for the final post I'm sharing my final four recs: one for fiction, mystery, romance, and sci-fi/fantasy. For Fiction: Dear Dickhead by Virginie Despentes Now this book can be a little dry at times, but I absolutely loved it for how messy

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Nest. I know everyone has been caught up and busy with holiday shopping and keeping warm just like I have of, but the season does not stop and neither do I. So here is Part 3 of my holiday recommendations, this time I will be focusing on some great nonfiction picks. As the post title suggests, nonfiction does not just mean books about war and other historical topics. So here are six awesome nonfiction recommendations that range from true

So, I am back with the holiday recommendations, this post will focus on recommendations for the young adult readers. Just like with the young readers anyone can read these books not just young adults, now let's get onto all these recommendations!! I am going to be giving four great recommendations, and these are all series too, just like my first holiday post. I will make sure to include my progress in the series after each recommendation so you all can jump in with them me t

Hi everyone and welcome back to the Nest. I'm sure everyone has Christmas shopping on the brain, so I wanted to share some recommendations for all age groups to help ease the shopping stress. Everyone loves a good book, and those who don't I honestly think they have not found the right book for them yet. So I am starting with the young readers, and I do want to preface this with anyone can read these books not just for kids! I see so often at my job that people can miss out o

So, I know this will sound a little silly, but I have never DNF'd a book before until yesterday. Previously, I would always finish a book for two reasons. I am usually rather optimistic when reading so even if a book does not start off strong, I believe that it will finish on a strong note. I am usually right here and have finished many books that have had spectacular endings. The other reason is that sometimes I like to be petty but like in an informed way. If a book is not

So, I got into audiobooks in the beginning of 2024, and I am glad I did. It has opened my eyes up to a whole new format of enjoying something I already love and that is books! I usually listen to audiobooks through Spotify, mainly since I already pay for a subscription, and have listened to a total of 28 audiobooks so far. I really enjoy the format for its accessibility and its atmosphere. Now accessibility can mean a lot of things, but for me I would say in this sense it mak

So when I'm not reading, I feel like I am pretty tuned in to pop culture and the sphere of entertainment in general. Which is why I really enjoy reading memoirs, I feel like I get to be there with the author and truly get a sense of who they are. Getting to see what they are really like and not just taking my perceptions about them and thinking that I know them. I didn't want to be super corny and use the title of the post, but it really feels like I get to be along for the r

Hello again everyone, today I wanted to do another spotlight on an author I really enjoy. This time I will be putting comic book writer Jed Mackay in the spotlight! Comic books are a medium I have recently gotten back in to within the last several months, and this time I am not falling victim to comic FOMO. It is very easy to fall into that rabbit hole where you feel like you have to read everything when you really don't. Just follow the characters or in this case the writer

Hi everyone and welcome back to the Nest, we are about halfway through spooky season and I have already read four books. So far this month has been a real mixed bag with some really great reads and others that left a lot to be desired. I am also including my read for Hispanic Heritage month as I just finished it today, on the last day of Hispanic Heritage month.
