Yes, I Prefer the Ending
Yes, I Prefer the Ending Happy New Year! How is 2017 going so far for you? It's great for me! You know, new year, new me and all that jazz... eh, not so much. I'm not really one for all of the changes and resolutions because I feel as if you should be willing to change throughout the year, not just in the first two weeks. So instead of listing that chan…

What I (Try) to Do While Listening to Audiobooks
What I (Try) to Do While Listening to Audiobooks I'm not exactly a fan of audiobooks. But I'm not totally against them either. Recently, I discovered a new found love for audiobooks that might just get me more into them. They are especially nice while lying in bed before I fall asleep. Instead of picking up my iPod, I find that I am reaching more towar…

Authors Who's Books I'll Always Read
Authors Who's Books I'll Always Read (Probably Without Reading A Blurb First) I saw this post idea lurking around the bookish community and thought it was pretty cool. Of course I just had to try it for myself to create this sacred list. These are the authors who's books I'll always read without an explanation why, but instead you get their bio…

Have I Read the 1st Harry Potter?!
Have I Read the 1st Harry Potter? I'll be the first to tell you that I am a geek. A nerd. A bookworm. Whatever you want to call it. I read Harry Potter a long, long, long time ago. (Though it wasn't the book that got me into reading. Guess what really was in the comments!) I've seen all the movies, forwards, backwards, multiple times. I had an …

I Don't Like Contemporary
I Don't Like Contemporary I'm just coming off of a very busy month for me, so I hardly got in any reading with the end of school and whatnot (why do they throw all of the projects in the last two weeks wth), but what I did read was.... dun dUN DUNNNNNNN CONTEMPORARY! I know right? I rarely read contemporary but last month that was all I could read. …

YouTuber Review Month
You Didn't Write this Book!
You Didn't Write this Book! This post goes hand-in-hand with my Book Deals for the "Famous" post and can really be led back to my review for Girl Online by Zoe Sugg . I guess it does kinda tie into my YouTuber Review Month as well. I bet you can guess what this post is about, yup, ghostwriters. I don't think in either of the above mentioned…

Book Deals for the "Famous"
Not exactly a review, more of a discussion. I just needed to get a few things off of my chest about this month aka YouTuber Review Month. I really don't see it as fair that just because someone is somewhat famous, they should get a book deal. Just because people like you does not mean you have a way with words. The two don't go hand in hand, so I do…

Promoting at Random Times
Of course, I get inspiration for new posts the the random-est of times. This post was born out of a comment from one of my fellow bloggers, Julie, on my Poison review. I said (in case you haven't read it): Sometimes, when you stumble across a great read, you just start to cheer for it. And promote it at random times. Like the other day, someone asked me what m…

Audiobooks are... Weird
Audiobooks are… Weird Here's Why Recently, I’ve started my first audiobook as part of a reading challenge, as well as me wanting to check them out and see if they're something I’m interested in doing more often. In case you’re wondering, I’m listening to Champion by Marie Lu (which is incidentally the last book in a series I haven’t read.) (I should pay…

Scheduling Sucks (Why I Hate It)
Scheduling Sucks (Why I Hate It) If you're like me and are addicted to how-to posts (there's just so many!) then you know that a common phrase worshiped among book bloggers is, "Have a schedule and post often." Now that may not be exactly how it goes, but I don't care enough to go look it up. It captures the essence of what I'm talking…

Talk, Talk, Talk
Communication Skills This was something that I dealt with this week, and I had forgotten how important- how necessary- it is in pretty much everything we do. It's not just blogging. Communication skills are everywhere. Doing my college research, I have come across that communication skills is something that most employers look for since they are so scarce. W…

Stubbornly Eccentric: Embracing Your Voice
Embracing Your Voice Being yourself is something that I like to say that I accomplish, but, although I hate to admit it, there are sometimes when I hide my true personality from view. I do it without realizing it. It just happens, and it really goes against my beliefs. I think each person should be who they want to be without anyone whispering in their ear. I’ve …

What to Do If a Book Sucks
What to Do If a Book Sucks This is a common question among bloggers and readers alike. I see it being asked everywhere, so I am going to throw my opinion on you. Feel free to take my advice or leave it. Books sucking is something that no one wants to come across. We like books, love to read them, but we aren't sure what to do if we dislike them. Well, here'…

Why I Am Sick of Harry Potter
Why I Am Sick of Harry Potter I've been doing lots of research on other blogs to spice up my content, and I stumbled across some advice from Nose Graze. I don't know exactly what she said, but it was something about only blogging what you want to read. And what I'm about to write is a post that I would love to read. On one of my many adventures stalk…
