Sunday Funday: Week in Review [22]

Posted January 17, 2015 in Sunday Funday, Weekly Features/Memes / 3 Comments

Sunday Funday is a weekly(ish) post I’ve started to recap the bookish (and sometimes not-so-bookish) happenings in my life the past week! Feel free to participate, just link back! January 12-18, 2015 Life This week was significantly less exciting than my birthday week last week, but I still had a lot of fun! I visited my grandparents and extended family for a few days (they live a few hours away and I didn’t get a chance to see them on my birthday) and my aunt took me to a delicious belated birthday dinner and surprised me at the end with […]

Top Ten 2014 Releases I Meant to Read But Didn’t Get To

Posted January 12, 2015 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 32 Comments

As usual, Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and The Bookish. This week is all about looking back at the 2014 releases I meant to read, had every intention of reading, and in some cases even purchased, but just never found the time to pick up! 1) Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater– I know, I know. There’s not much else to say aside from the fact that I did a Wolves of Mercy Falls Reread toward the end of the year which distracted me from The Raven Cycle. 2) Lailah by Nikki Kelly– […]

Sunday Funday: Birthday Edition!

Posted January 11, 2015 in Sunday Funday, Weekly Features/Memes / 16 Comments

Sunday Funday is a weekly(ish) feature that I started to share the bookish and not-so-bookish happenings in my life over the course of the past week. This week I’m also linking up with Stacking the Shelves as well as showcasing my birthday book haul! Feel free to participate, just link back! January 5-11, 2015 Life This week I celebrated my birthday! It was the first one since I moved in May and unfortunately most of my friends from college live 400+ miles away from me now so I wasn’t sure how it would be celebrating with just immediate family and […]

Stacking the Shelves [15]

Posted January 3, 2015 in Stacking the Shelves, Weekly Features/Memes / 13 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! Purchased: I received some iTunes giftcards for Christmas so I’ve been trying to make more of an effort to download books through the iBooks app to read on my iPad (which is use instead of a traditional Kindle/Nook). I’m really excited that I picked both of these up for $1.99 each! Both are titles that I’ve been wanting to read and neither is very long, which I think will be […]

Top Ten Goals/Resolutions for 2015- Bookish, Blogging, and Otherwise!

Posted December 29, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 37 Comments

As usual, Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and The Bookish. This last week of 2015 is all about reflecting, so below are some goals I’m hoping to implement in my reading and blogging life for 2015! 1) Read 70 books! This will be the highest reading challenge I’ve set for myself yet, but since I finished 67 this year (when my goal was 50) I’m confident I can do it! 2) Establish relationships with publishers. As this was my first year blogging, I was focused more on building my blog, integrating myself into the […]

Stacking the Shelves [14]- Christmas Edition!

Posted December 27, 2014 in Stacking the Shelves, Weekly Features/Memes / 11 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! Christmas brought a few books I’ve really been eyeing as well as some fun surprises! The Storyteller by Jodi Picoult was a gift from my mom, as she remembered I used to be an avid Jodi fan back in high school and she came across this title and thought of me, which I thought was sweet. She also picked up I Am Pusheen the Cat (a fun surprise! I love […]

Top Ten Books I Wouldn’t Mind Santa Bringing This Year

Posted December 22, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 32 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic comes straight from my Christmas/birthday wish list, and for the most part is in no particular order. 1) Wicked– In this instance, Wicked IS the number one book on my wish list! JLA, paranormal happenings, and a New Orleans setting? Yes please! 2) These Broken Stars– Gorgeous cover that I must own for my shelves plus I hear this is a fantastic book that I’m really late to the party for! 3) Winterspell– I’ve heard mixed tings about this […]

Sunday Funday: Week in Review [20]

Posted December 21, 2014 in Sunday Funday, Weekly Features/Memes / 1 Comment

Sunday Funday is a weekly(ish) post I’ve started to recap the bookish (and sometimes not-so-bookish) happenings in my life the past week! Feel free to participate, just link back! December 15-21, 2014 Life These past few weeks have been really busy! I spent Thanksgiving with my boyfriend’s family for the first time, which was lovely and on Black Friday we drove to the coast to explore the sights and shops. Then we braved Target to hunt for Black Friday deals *coughbookscough* and I scooped up a few new titles (which you can see in my STS post) and my boyfriend […]

Stacking the Shelves [13]

Posted December 20, 2014 in Stacking the Shelves, Weekly Features/Memes / 12 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! This is actually what I’ve accumulated over the past few weeks! I scooped up Dorothy Must Die and The One at Target on Black Friday (hardcover, both for under $10!) and was gifted The Book Thief by my aunt. I haven’t read any of these yet so I’m really excited to get around to them (probably not until after the holidays though!) I was also gifted my aunt’s collection of […]

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 Authors New to Me in 2014. This year was my first official year delving into the world of blogging, and thus I was exposed to SO many new authors for the first time, so there’s a lot to choose from. Below you can find my ten favorites in no particular order, along with a link to my review of my favorite book by them! 1) Rainbow Rowell– It was love at first *read* when I picked […]
