Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward To in 2015

Posted December 1, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 19 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. For this week’s topic I decided to choose the top ten books I want to read in 2015 that will be released in 2015. Funnily enough, they’re all either fantasy, paranormal, or dystopian! Making this week’s post was really fun because the covers are gorgeous on so many of these and I’m looking forward to hopefully purchasing these all for my own bookshelves! (Looks like I’ll be hoping for a lot of giftcards this holiday season…). Titles are linked to their cooresponding […]

Top Ten Books On My Winter TBR

Posted November 25, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 25 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week a few of my books are spillover from my fall TBR that I didn’t get to, combined with my holiday-themed reads and some December/January releases. These are mostly books I hope to finish by the end of 2014/early 2015! 1-2) My True Love Gave to Me and Let It Snow Anthologies- I haven’t read any YA short stories so I’m really excited that I own both of these to get me into the holiday season! 3) Wicked by Jennifer L. Armentrout- […]

Sunday Funday: Week in Review [19]

Posted November 23, 2014 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! November 17-23, 2014 Life So many things happened this week! I took a mini-vacation in the middle of the week with my boyfriend and we saw one of our favorite musical groups, PostModern Jukebox! They do covers of popular songs in incredible arrangements based upon other decades (like a 1950’s version of “We Can’t Stop,” a 1920’s version of “Drunk in Love,” etc.) It was a dinner show at a gorgeous […]

Stacking the Shelves [12]

Posted November 22, 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! Borrowed: I’ve been on the waitlist for this book at my library for a while, and when I picked it up yesterday I was struck by how incredibly short it is! This is one I’m hoping to read in one sitting to really get the full effect of the story, and I’m really curious to read how the author tackles some tough subject matters in this novel. I also picked […]

Harry Potter MOTW [6]: Which Weasley Character Would You Be?

Posted November 13, 2014 in Harry Potter MOTW, Weekly Features/Memes / 12 Comments

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a weekly meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts, and is a fantastic way to keep the Harry Potter magic alive year round, even when not reading the books! The Theme This Week: Which Weasley Character Would You Be? Bill was — there was no other word for it — cool. (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) Though little page time is devoted to Bill until much later in the series, I was immediately taken with the idea of the eldest Weasley brother. Harry had heard Ron mention his older brother in ways […]

Posted November 10, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 31 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is Top Ten Characters Who You Wish Had Their OWN Books! 1) Zuze from the Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy– Zuze is so sassy and fantastic and is the human best friend who completely and totally embraces the magical world. I’d love to hear about her future with one foot in each world. 2) Teddy Lupin from Harry Potter– (Beware spoilers if you haven’t finished the series!)He’s basically like Harry 2.0, except his parents death aided in stopping Voldemort […]

Posted November 9, 2014 in Sunday Funday, Weekly Features/Memes / 9 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! November 3-9, 2014 Life Nothing too out of the ordinary to report this week. Spent a lot of time studying (mainly math…sigh) and when I wasn’t studying I was glued to the pages of I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson…my review gushing about how awesome/amaxing/fantastic/phenomenal/insert-your-own-praise-here will be up tomorrow! What I’m Reading & Watching If you saw my Stacking the Shelves post this week you’ll know that I got […]

Stacking the Shelves [11]

Posted November 8, 2014 in Stacking the Shelves, Weekly Features/Memes / 15 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! Bought: This week I treated myself to three new books after finding each of them at some pretty great prices on Amazon! Trial By Fire was around only $9 (a steal for a brand new hardcover!) and I’ve heard almost all positive reviews about it so I decided it was worth investing in for my personal collection. I’ve had my eye on Let It Snow for a while since I […]

Harry Potter MOTW [5]: Best “Luna” Moment

Posted November 6, 2014 in Harry Potter MOTW, Weekly Features/Memes / 9 Comments

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a weekly meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts, and is a fantastic way to keep the Harry Potter magic alive year round, even when not reading the books! The Theme This Week: Best moment by Luna Lovegood And anyway, it’s not as though I’ll never see Mum again, is it?” “Er-isn’t it?” said Harry uncertainly. She shook her head in disbelief. “Oh, come on. You heard them, just behind the veil, didn’t you?” “You mean…” “In that room with the archway. They were just lurking out of sight, that’s all. You heard them.” […]

Top Ten Books I Want to Reread

Posted November 3, 2014 in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Features/Memes / 40 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by the fantastic blog The Broke and the Bookish. I’m really excited about this week’s topic because I am a huge advocate of rereading. I think finding a book with a story that really resonates with you is one of the most rewarding things about reading, and good books are something that I wish to revisit over and over again, especially series that make me feel invested in the characters. Although the amount of rereading I do has lessened since starting my blog (mainly because I’m much better equipped to try out […]
