Five of My Most Anticipated New Releases of 2022

With 2022 here now, I am ready to get excited for all the amazing books coming out this year! There are so many books I’m already looking forward to, and there will certainly be many more great ones I haven’t heard about yet. So, I wanted to share a few of my personal most anticipated releases of 2022!

2021 Reading Wrap-Up

2021 is over, and it is now 2022, which feels very weird to say! I read a lot of fantastic books in 2021, and even though I read a lot less than last year, I will say that it has still been a great year of reading. To compare and contrast with last year’s reading wrap-up, I have all the same stats, and I will again be reflecting on what I read in 2021 and sharing my reading goals for the new year.

How I Take and Edit My Bookstagram Pictures

Hi there! Welcome back to Sidbookreviews! Today I wanted to share a few basics of the how and what of my bookstagram pictures, and bookstagram in general. Now, I am absolutely not an expert on any of these topics, as I am a very small bookstagrammer and I have little to no photography or editing skills, and no fancy equipment. But, I wanted to make a post about it for those of you who might be interested in my process for my Instagram, or for those of you who might be thinking about starting a bookstagram but have little to no skills or resources, or are feeling overwhelmed with the process in general.

Cover Art: 6 of My Favourites and Why

Welcome back to Sidbookreviews! Today I want to talk about cover art! As the saying goes, never judge a book by its cover, but I have never really followed that rule. Some covers are just too pretty to pass up! So today I wanted to share a few of my favourite cover designs and why I love them!

Book Recommendations Based on Random Colours

Hi there and welcome back to Sidbookreviews! Today I thought I’d do another “recommendations based on unconventional things” post as a follow-up to my recommending books based on mugs post! This post is inspired by those “what colour is your personality” quizzes, and I thought it would be so fun to do something similar for books. All of these colours were randomly generated by a random colour picker, and then I chose books that I thought matched the vibe of the colour. I did not intentionally choose books with similar colours on their covers, I went based solely on the feel of the story, but some of them do happen to match up!

A Not-So-YA Spring Book Haul

Happy spring! Today I have a spring book haul composed of all the physical books I’ve purchased or received over the last couple of months! This haul will feature fewer young adult books than usual, and despite that being my main genre, I have actually bought and read a lot of adult and new adult books recently!

Seven Young Adult Books Set in New York City

I don’t know about you, but New York City is one of my all-time favourite settings for books! I’ve always been a city person, and there’s nothing I love more than reading about characters’ adventures in a big city. There are so many great books set in NYC, but I wanted to share a few of my favourites, more specifically my favourite young adult ones!
