Hi Friends,
I am so excited to share that Books With Bunny was featured in a recent Rent. article!

Rent. article blurb:
In the hustle of daily life, it’s easy to forget to pause and be present. Slow living encourages us to savor the moment and prioritize what truly matters. As winter sets in, whether you’re cozying up at home in Bend, OR, Burlington, VT, or an apartment in Edgewater, NJ, slowing down during these colder months creates space for rest, renewal, and a deeper connection with yourself.

It was such an honor to be asked to participate in the article, and I really hope you all check it out. I read the article and think it was a really wonderful piece about embracing slow living, which is something I’m trying to focus on this winter.

Bookish, Blogging & More | 2025 Goals

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
Happy 2025! I can’t believe it’s the first day of a New Year. I’m excited to see what this year brings. I have so many fun content ideas for all my bookish platforms and can’t wait to bring them to life. To kick off the New Year, I want to share my 2025 goals. These goals cover my blog content, reading, and personal life.

Blog Goals
Quality Over Quantity: I’ve always worked hard to stick to a blogging schedule, and for the most part, it works. However, I want to be more flexible with my content in 2025. Instead of striving for three posts a week, I want to prioritize quality over quantity. If that means publishing only one post some weeks, I’m okay with that as long as it’s the best it can be.

Book Reviews: In 2024, I struggled to stay on top of book reviews. There are still so many I haven’t published! This year, I’m determined to change that. Instead of waiting weeks to write and post reviews, I’ll try my hardest to publish them shortly after finishing each book.

Originality: I always aim to be creative with my content, but sometimes it’s challenging. In 2025, I want to brainstorm more unique and innovative bookish posts. Some of my favorite posts have been the ones that feel fresh and unlike anything I’ve seen in the book community.

Bookish Goals
Backlist Books: I’m not sure if this was a goal of mine last year, but I hope to focus more on backlist books in 2025. I often get caught up in reading new releases and neglect older titles. However, there are so many books that have been out for years that I’d love to read.

Read More, Buy Less: I want to read more books from my shelves than I buy each month. This might sound ambitious, but I’d really like to cut back on book purchases in 2025. Essentially, my goal is to read more books than I purchase each month. For example, if I buy eight books in January, I want to read at least ten books I already own. I hope that makes sense!

Reading Goal: Every year, I set a reading goal, and this year is no different. Last year, I aimed to read 115 books—and I managed to hit that goal! This year, I’m lowering my goal to 100 books. The reason for this change is that many of the books I want to read are longer and more emotionally intense. A smaller goal feels more realistic and aligned with the type of reading experience I’m aiming for.

Personal Goals
Workout: I’ve always been an exercise girlie (I even have my yoga teacher certification!), but I feel like I let fitness take a back seat in the latter half of 2024. I’d love to get back into my fitness routine and rekindle my love for working out.

Author PA: I’m so grateful to be starting my journey as an author PA. In 2025, I’d love to grow in this role, connect with more authors, and help them share their work with the world. I’m always happy to work with all budgets and assist authors with social media marketing.

Baby E: This has been a goal for my husband and me for the past four years. Hopefully, 2025 will be the year we’re blessed with a pregnancy and, possibly, a baby. It’s been a long, challenging journey, but we’re still holding on to hope that we’ll finally see those two pink lines.

And there you have it—my 2025 goals! Let me know your reading goals for the New Year in the comments. As always, you can follow me on other social media platforms like Instagram and TikTok. Please consider hitting the follow button—you won’t want to miss all the exciting blog content I have planned!

Until The Next Chapter,

Join Me For Blogtober 2024

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
I am happy to announce that I will be doing Blogtober! If you’re not familiar with Blogtober, it’s a trend in the blogging community where you post every day in October. I always like to ask on my socials if this is something you’d be interested in and my bookish friends said yes!

So, I will be posting every day in October; at least that’s the goal. I always try my hardest to keep up with blogging events like this, but sometimes life gets in the way. Please come back every day in October to read my new posts or even better, follow the blog to get notified whenever a new post goes up.

You can also join my Fable romantasy book club and participate in the October Gilmore Girls readathon that I created. If you’re doing Blogtober as well, please let me know in the comments below. I would love to support other book bloggers like myself!

Until The Next Chapter,
Bunny

Returning To Booktube

- Bunny 4 Comments

Hi Friends,
Recently I uploaded my first Booktube video in over a year. The video was a book unhaul and is actually doing pretty well. But, I am still unsure if I want to go back to YouTube. I love creating my blog content, but I did enjoy filming that video. Every now and again, I get the urge to film a reading vlog or haul. Things that are just harder to do in a blog format. However, I feel like YouTube still gives me a bit of anxiety.

On Booktube, people seem to read only the popular books. I like reading all kinds of books not just whatever one else is reading. Also, filming in my house can be a little difficult at times. I did a whole post on ‘Booktube vs Book Blogging‘, and why I prefer book blogging. And, I don’t think my opinion on the talk has really changed all that much. Still, I am stuck on if I should continue trying Booktube again. Or, just stick with my little book blog, since I’m not sure I could keep up with both.

There is always the option of posting reading vlogs on Booktok, which is much smaller than Booktube and less pressure. I’m just very confused at the moment. Let me know your thoughts in the comments below. Please give me your advice on if I should attempt Booktube again or stick with only book blogging. Don’t forget to follow my blog.

Bookish, Blog & More // 2022 Goals

- Bunny 3 Comments

Hi Friends,
In this post, I am going to be sharing my bookish, blog and personal resolutions. I love the start of a New Year because it means new beginnings and adventures. I always like to make resolutions even if I sometimes don’t stick to them.

Blog Goals
– Be More Flexible: I don’t want to be so hard on myself when it comes to a posting schedule. I try to post three times a week, but I don’t want to stress out if that isn’t always possible.
– Branch Out: This is a book blog, and books will forever be the main focus. However, I want to post some lifestyle content every once in a while. I would like to share my other interests outside of books.
– Engage More: I want to read more blogs and engage with other bloggers. I don’t ever seem to make time to read blogs, which is something I hope to change.

Bookish Goals
– GoodReads Goal: As per-usual I would like to achieve my GoodReads goal. I have set it at 50 books, and I think it is doable.
– Read My Shelf: I own a lot of unread books, and that stresses me out. I want to make reading my own books a priority this year.
– Backlist Books: I tend to pick up new releases or hyped books. This year, I want to make an effort of reading older titles that I never got around too.

Personal Goals
– Mental Health: My mental health is very important to me. I want to remember to stay on top of my mental health, and take care of myself.
– Routine: I would like to have more of a set morning and night routine. Something that will put me in a good mood, and help start the day off right. As for night, I want to have a routine that I can look forward to at the end of the day.
– Stay Active: I wouldn’t say that I am not an active person, but I do go weeks without doing any kind of fitness. I would like to consistently be active and healthy.

Those are some of my goals for the year. I have other goals, and one major personal goal. But I thought I would just share a few with you all. Do you make New Year’s resolutions? What are some of yours? Don’t forget to start off the year right by following my blog!

Until The Next Chapter,

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Posts

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
I started this bookish blog back in Mach of 2021, and boy has it been a ride. I’ve had fun writing all my posts, and sharing my love of books (and other things) with you all. In this post, I wanted to share some of the posts that I had the most fun writing for so far.

March TBR Feat. Tis The Damn Readathon
This was second post ever, and it is very special to me. I participated in my first readathon of the year. My husband pushed me to read a different book for each post. It was crazy, but I was glad that I challenged my self to read more than I usually would. So, this post will always be one of my favorites.

Coffee Meets Books // Holiday Edition
I thought that this post was very unique. Although it might have been done by others, it was interesting pairing books with coffee. I really had to think of what book to pair with each drink.

Ones I Couldn’t Live Without // Thankful Thursday
Although, I loved all my ‘Thankful Thursday’ posts, this one warms my heart. I was happy to get the opportunity to talk about the ones I love so much. It gave me a chance to remember how grateful I am to have these people in my life.

The Gilmore Girls Tag
If you have read my bio, you know I am a huge (no, mega!) Gilmore Girls fan. This tag was loads of fun to do, and I want to do another GG tag in the future.

Thanksgiving Day 2021 // A Day In Pictures
I don’t share too much of my personal life on the blog, so this post was a nice change. The photos gave my readers a small glimpse into my life. I hope that you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed putting it together.

Music Meets Books // Holiday Edition
This is another recommendations post that was a blast to write. I came up with this idea, and immediately knew the book and song pairings. I think that a lot of the recommendations worked well, and it put me in the holiday spirit.

For The Ones You Love // Book Recommendations
As you can see, I love doing book recommendations. It was interesting suggestions books for people in other people’s lives. I don’t know if it actually helped anyone with their Christmas shopping, but I like to think it did. Nevertheless, it was a cute post, and different from the normal gift guides we get every year.

The Bookmas Tag
This post kind of kick started Bookmas 2021, which, if I being honest, has been a bit much too handle. However, I am happy that I decided to do the ’12 Days Of Bookmas’. This post had a ton of fun questions, and I had a good time coming up with my answers.

I love all my posts in their own ways, but these ones have stood out to me. If you are a fellow blogger, let me know what posts you enjoyed writing in 2021! As per usual, like, share, comment, and follow the blog. And once again, happy holidays to all of you.

Until The Next Chapter,
Bunny

My Blogging Process // Creating Content

- Bunny 2 Comments


Hi Friends,
Today, I will be doing a post on how I write my blog posts. I know this may seem like a weird topic for a blog post, but I thought it would be interesting to share. Here’s how I formulate my blog post ideas, edit post and keep track of reviews. I try to stay extremely organized regarding blog posts. Especially since I put up 3, sometimes 4, posts a week. I have to plan out all my posts for the month and then some. Currently, I have a list of blog post ideas that will last me until November. However, a true blogger knows that things change and you have to move posts around all the time. I just prefer having a master list of ideas that I can pull from at any given time.

I feel like I am constantly writing posts and thinking of ideas. So to make it easier on myself, I try to write my posts for the coming week on Sundays. I edit them and schedule them to go up. Now that doesn’t always work out thus, I am writing this post Monday, August 16th and it is going up on my blog today. Some quick post ideas are tags, top five favorites, and recommendations. Usually I like to have back-up posts ready to go live on days like today, but that isn’t always the case.

As for reviews, I try to jot down my thoughts throughout reading the book. This way I have my thoughts while reading the book and my overall final thoughts. It takes a lot of trial and error to perfect blog reviews, and come up with something you like. Right now I like my review style, but I am sure it will change later in my blogging life. As for editing posts, I am terrible at grammar. There are some free grammar and spell checker tools on the internet. There are paid versions as well.

I have noticed that grammar editors tend to change your writing style, so keep that in mind before investing in one. Luckily, I have my husband who is willing to proof read my posts. I will typically do one final proof read myself just for safety. A big tip when writing posts is not to focus so much on SEO. As a blogger that is something we are all trying to prefect, but sometimes your writing style and SEO aren’t going to agree. It is better to put out a post that reflects you instead of one that checks off all the SEO boxes.

I hope that this post interests you in someway. Please check back for other bookish and lifestyle posts.

Hallmark & More // Update

- Bunny Leave a comment

Hi Friends,
As you all know that books are a big part of my life. However, I am a shameless Hallmark movie lover. I thought it would be fun to incorporate that into my blog. I want to start reviewing Hallmark movies for you all. I will be reviewing old and new movies from the network just as I do books.

I know this seems random, but I think it would be a fun addition to my blog. I could review Netflix and Lifetime original movies as well. I understand that this wont be something everyone will enjoy, but it could be pretty fun. I would love to know your thoughts, and some Hallmark movie recommendations.

In July, Hallmark does Christmas in July, which means a lot of Christmas movie reviews coming your way. But don’t worry I will still be keeping up with my book content as well. I think that this added content will be a lot of fun and I’m excited for it.

Until The Next Chapter,
Bunny
