Top Ten Characters Everyone Loves Who I Just Don’t Get

Posted March 7, 2016 in Top Ten Tuesday / 41 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week the topic is: Top Ten Characters Everyone Loves Who You Just Don’t Get. I have a feeling I’m going to create a disturbance with some of my picks (and I will be the first to admit many may be influenced by my salty attitude toward certain popular book ships). Time to stir up some trouble! Ron Weasley from Harry Potter: I’m sorry, I have never liked Ron from Day 1. He rivals Percy for being my least favorite Weasley. I […]

Posted January 18, 2016 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 28 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is “Top Ten Books I’ve Recently Added to My TBR.” My list this week is a mixture of backlist books, recent releases, and upcoming releases in 2016. These aren’t on my physical-I-already own-TBR, but rather they are new additions to my Goodreads TBR over the past month or so. In no particular order: Not Yet Released: The Loose Ends List by Carrie Firestone The Problem with Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout The Girl Who Fell by Shannon M. Parker The […]

Posted December 28, 2015 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 32 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s theme is looking ahead to my most coveted releases of within the first 6 months of 2016. I love TTT topics like this because I gather so many ideas (and add so much to my TBR!) from reading what others are excited about! In order of release month, here are my most anticipated reads being released in the first half of 2016! Passenger by Alexandra Bracken- January I cannot even with how excited I am for this one. Max pre-ordered it […]

Christmas (Book) Haul and Recap 2015!

Posted December 26, 2015 in Features, Stacking the Shelves / 21 Comments

Merry Christmas, blogosphere! This holiday season definitely snuck up on me, and while it was a crazy rush Christmas shopping and prepping for the holiday, I managed to finish all of the essentials! I received some wonderful gifts (and books!) this year and thought I would share them here! Max and I started the morning at our place with our personal tree and gift exchange. As it’s our first full size tree together (and not one of the mini-trees used in our college dorms and previous apartments) the decorations are a little sparse, but we do love it! One of […]

Top Ten New to Me Favorite Authors I Read in 2015

Posted December 7, 2015 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 16 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is focusing on the top ten favorite authors that are new to YOU, no matter how long they’ve been on the literary scene. I found that this year I read fewer books by “new to me” authors than last year, as I really focused on the authors who had impressed me during my first year of blogging. In backwards chronological order (starting with the most recent new to me authors I’ve enjoyed all the way back until January 2015), here […]

Top Ten Characters Who Should Totally Throw A Halloween Party

Posted October 26, 2015 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 22 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. I really enjoyed making my Halloween list for TTT last year (Top Ten Characters I’d Want to Be For Halloween) and I wanted to think of a fresh new spin on it, as Halloween’s one of my favorite seasons. This year I decided to reflect upon which characters could throw an awesome Halloween party (which I’d be inviting myself to, of course). Fred and George Weasley from Harry Potter: How awesome would a Halloween party in Fred and George’s joke shop be? Wizards […]

Sunday Funday: Week in Review [32]

Posted October 18, 2015 in Sunday Funday, Weekly Features/Memes / 5 Comments

Life Hello! Remember me? Where have I been? Everywhere, it seems, except for the book blogging world for the past two weeks, tragically. I’m in the midst of the busiest time of year at my work, I just had a major move into a new apartment, and I also just got back from a week long trip to DISNEYWORLD. So while I haven’t had too much time to be in the blogosphere, I really can’t complain because I’ve been lucky enough to have SO many other adventures in the meantime. I’m considering doing a recap on the blog of my […]

Last Ten Books That Came Into My Possession

Posted July 13, 2015 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 23 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Top Ten Books That Recently Came Into Your posession (bought/borrowed/library/etc). Since I just attended ALA a TON of books have come into my possession, so I’ll cover the ones I’ve received since then and the last ones I received at ALA time-frame wise (so Sunday afternoon). My list will also include recent pre-orders! 1) Cruel Beauty by Rosamund Hodge- I LOVED this book when I got it from the library last summer, so when I saw it on […]

Stacking the Shelves [23]

Posted June 20, 2015 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 17 Comments

Stacking the Shelves is a weekly feature hosted by Tynga’s Reviews where bloggers share the books that they’ve added to their shelves this week, whether borrowed, bought, virtual, physical, etc! So this week I ended up with a bit of an unexpected mini haul! My boyfriend found a bag of books at his office abandoned by some co-workers who had attended ALA midwinter. Upon noting that they were YA and that no one else wanted them, he was able to give them to me! I’m super excited about All The Bright Places (the cover under the book jacket is GORGEOUS) […]
