We’re kicking off Halloween early! As you know, I’ve been absolutely DYING to read Frankenstein so I’m very hyped that Allison and Becca have decided to join me for this deep dive.

So far, Frankenstein is really surpassing my standards here. I really can’t wait until you all can listen and chat with me about this book.

Also, if you have any recommendations on which movies are a must watch, please let me know in the comments!

Happy release day to BEAUTIFUL VILLAIN by 🥂

At this point, you already know I am a big fan of Great Gatsby, so I had to pick this beauty up as soon as I heard about it. You’re tell me there’s a modern gatsby story with vampires and I WASN’T going to pick it up? No way. I honestly can’t wait to read this story.

You all may remember Rebecca F. Kenney from the Peter Pan episodes. Make sure to check out her latest stories and all of the things she’s working on over on her socials.

In case you were wondering what vibes I require when I am reading Frankenstein, this is my preferred reading spot at the moment. It’s also been really rainy here the last few weeks which I feel like is really upping the good vibes for this.

In other news, I chaotically finished Manacled by in like 5 days. I feel like that was an absolute personal record for me but when the revised version comes out I’m literally going to go on vacay to read it. 5/5 ⭐️ idk how this book is going to get better when it’s republished but I’m ready to go the the 9 stages of grief all over again.

Episode 2 of Wuthering Heights went live this past Wednesday and we finally got this iconic quote which is famous enough that I have actually heard it before. Which, for me, is always a shock when that happens.

The current state of my shelves 🤦‍♀️ Doing my best to unpack all my books but it's currently a work in progress. Also, please peep the elephant bookend that is holding those beauties up on the top shelf for the time being because I was annoyed they kept falling over.

Most of my books are still in boxes, but it's been really nice getting to unpack them slowly and find the perfect place for them. Once they're fully unpacked I'll do a little bookshelf tour!

And we're back! After an accidental hiatus, we are back with Wide Sargasso Sea, which we had high expectations of and it wasn't great, to be honest. But, we're going to have a fun time talking about it! Join us on the latest episode to hear all the juicy details.

Also, I moved! Please enjoy this sneak peek of the bookshelves I really need to fill.

Hi everyone! I’ve been going strong on Barely Bookish for the last three years and I’ve tried to very rarely miss an episode. But, life has changed a lot and I’ve been slipping more than I would like to when it comes to the Barely Bookish Podcast. Because of that, I am going to go on a two week break and when I resume, we will be going to every other week.

The good news, you’ll still get episodes of on my off weeks!

Thank you all for understand and I’m excited to get back to it. See you soon, friends! 💕

Hi friends! So I thought I would give a little life update on why I haven’t been as active:

I have gotten another full time job! I am excited to learn and grow more professionally. While I’m trying to figure out how to manage my free time a bit more I haven’t been as active on social and I will try to be better about that in the near future.

Podcasts are still coming out every Wednesday and I still plan to continue to do that because I love making episodes for all you lovely listeners. I am considering getting rid of the Patreon currently as not many people are taking advantage of it currently so I would love to hear your thoughts on that in the comments.

I also hope you all are enjoying the Jane Eyre episodes because I know I am!

(Gifted) Also, on a business trip I was reading this lovely book by and it is so good! You may be seeming Leanna on the podcast soon, so stay tuned for that 👀

About Me

Hello! Who am I? Well, I am your resident book nerd here at Barely Bookish. I made this site originally to post my own short stories. But, as it’s grown, we’ve branched into writing prompt and tips to book reviews. Hopefully, we’ll see it expand more as we continue to grow!

I am a twenty-one year old sort-of adult named Rachel who enjoys writing and reading. I basically started writing stories as soon as I learned to read. While I am not yet published (self or otherwise) I have hope that one day I will be. Of course, you all will be the first to know!
