Hello Again

 

wrinkled white sheets with an upside-down spread out book on top

Wow, this is the longest I've been away from blogging, so thank you for taking the time to check out old posts and reviews instead! It hasn't been fun being sick, especially when I didn't even have the energy to read anything for the first part of my illness. I'm slowly on the mend and hope to change my reading stats for the remainder of the month.

In case I haven't expressed it on here, I am deeply grateful to you for reading my little musings and different Christian book reviews. Although I haven't had the energy to even think about posting reviews, I have missed them, so stay tuned for the ones coming up!

I wish you a very happy start to the summer if you're in the northern hemisphere and a very happy start to the winter if you're in the southern hemisphere 🌞❄

Christian Book Review Programs

Over time, I've been on the hunt for Christian book review programs that readers can join. As a result, I've been able to compile the following list which may be of interest if you are seeking review copies of Christian books. This list mostly applies to print and ebooks, although some publishers offer audiobooks as well. If further information is available for any of the publishers below (or any missing publishers), please let me know as I am happy to update this list—thank you! Please note that you can also search for these publishers on NetGalley and other review sites in case there are no review programs available or you don't qualify for one 😊 Christian Publishers B&H Publishing Group Previously offered the B&H/Lifeway Blogger program which has since closed Availability: Professors and instructors Link:  B&H Academic Book Requests Baker Publishing Group Availability: U.S. and Canadian residents Genre: Christian fiction, Christian non-fiction Imprints: Bet...

The Privileges of Reading

I'm starting to spend more time on Threads now, largely because I'm running into issues and glitches on Instagram, and because there are some good thought-provoking questions around reading that people are asking. One of these questions was posed by a user whom I don't follow (credit to taterturnspages for this intriguing query), but which has made me think a bit since I've seen it. Her question is basically whether some Bookstagrammers are more favoured to succeed over others, and whether there might be privileges attached to it. I understand that the topic of privileges can be contentious as to an extent, defining it can be subjective. At the same time, it's a reality that some people do have life circumstances that make things easier for them than for others. As a Christian, I am especially careful in not wanting to dichotomize people into groupings like "haves" and "have-nots" as this reduces complexity and can contribute toward antagonism wh...

Reading Week

In the spirit of university students taking a Reading Week this week, I'll be taking a short break from blogging and posting content. Not only do I have my own reading to do for work, I also want to catch up on some ARCs and books that have patiently been waiting for me. Here's a fun fact I learnt when I looked into Reading Week a bit more: "For post-secondary institutions in anglophone Canada, it is common to have "reading week" or "mid-term break" during the third week of February, coinciding with Family Day." Source: Revision Week I'm happy that I can have my own Reading Week! I'd love to do this more often, although it might lose its meaning if I turned every week into one 😂
