A Court of Thorns and Roses Re-Read Event!

Posted March 14, 2017 in Features, Readalongs/Readathons / 11 Comments

If you’ve been following my blog over the last few years, you can clearly see that I’ve developed into a HUGE Sarah J Maas fan (see proof here and here). After chatting with two of my favorite fellow bloggers, Kristin from Super Space Chick and Alexa from Alexa Loves Books, during this year’s Love-a-Thon, we realized that we were all planning on rereading A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury to prepare for the release of A Court of Wings and Ruin. Since we thought there are probably plenty other bloggers and readers out […]

ARC August Recap: When Life Happens

Posted August 23, 2015 in Challenges, Readalongs/Readathons / 9 Comments

ARC August is hosted by Read. Sleep. Repeat. and this is its third year. The goal is to tackle some of the ARCs on your TBR in a fun and low-key challenge environment. So Sometimes This Little Thing Called Life Happens… In case you haven’t noticed, it’s been quieter than normal over here the past week (and by quiet, I mean I’ve only posted once). That’s because this month I’ve encountered some major life changes, including starting a new job in a new city, moving into a temporary living situation, and hunting for permanent housing to accommodate my new work […]

Posted May 11, 2015 in Readalongs/Readathons / 6 Comments

Today is the first day of Bout of Books 13! Today’s challenge is being hosted by Writing My Own Fairytale, and it’s a bookish survey to help the participants get to know each other better and ease everyone into the challenges! Check out my sign up and progress post here. 1) How do you organize your shelves? I have a system that’s sort of a blend that works the best for me. I have three main bookshelves and the left is everything that’s paranormal/fantasy/dystopian and within that it’s alphabetized by author. The middle bookshelf has a lot of my childhood […]

Bout of Books 13: Participation and Goals!

Posted May 4, 2015 in Challenges, Readalongs/Readathons / 9 Comments

This is my second time participating in a Bout of Books read-a-thon, a wonderfully low-pressure week where readers and bloggers alike set reading goals and update each other on their progress! I participated in Bout of Books 11 and found that it really helped me be successful in knocking books off of my TBR. Seeing as I have quite a few books coming from pre-orders and ARCs to get through, May is the perfect month for a read-a-thon! The Official Purpose The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the […]

The Princess Diaries Re-Read: Volumes 4-5

Posted February 20, 2015 in Books, Readalongs/Readathons, Reviews / 5 Comments

This is the second installment in my Princess Diaries Re-Read self-challenge in order to prepare for The Royal Wedding, which comes out in June! In this post I’ll be bundling my reviews for books 4, 4.5, and 5. Princess in Waiting (4)- This is the epitome of a bridge book. Taking place primarily over winter break while Mia’s stuck in Genovia, it’s mainly Mia obsessing over Micheal’s feelings for her. It reminded me of why these books can be slightly neurotic, but I also have to admit that at 14 years old I obsessed over rather inconsequential stuff myself. Some […]

The Princess Diaries Reread & The Start of My YA Love Affair: Books 1-3

Posted January 28, 2015 in Readalongs/Readathons, Reviews / 17 Comments

If you’ve been visiting my blog for a while, you’ve probably heard me mention my love for Meg Cabot’s Princess Diaries series. When I found out that she was publishing a continuation, adult novel in the series, I knew it was time for me to revisit the series- and I do mean the whole series. I own all of the novels, all but one of the novellas (before e-books, when they used to be published in tiny little paperbacks) and all of the companion how-to guides. I even recently started re-buying the novels in the newer paperback covers because my […]
