Blogger Confessions// Weird Book Facts About ME

Every book blogger secretly has weird book confessions. Some are worse than others. I see these posts fly around a lot, and haven't done one yet because I didn't know if I had enough book related confessions to make. But then I realized I am a pretty weird person and I am sure some of …

My Dream Team// If I Were to Take Over the World, Who Would be by my Side?

Hello! I had this idea during one of my rare strokes of genius, and I am super super excited to show you. You know those tag your friend memes on Facebook during middle school where they are like WHICH ONES OF YOUR FRIENDS WOULD DIE FIRST DURING A ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE. I decided to do that …

Book Review: Hello, Goodbye, and Everything In Between

Rating: Fire  Okay, first off, this book was so sweet. Even though it only took place during one night, the night was filled so well with different emotions, moods, and tones, so it really did feel like a complete story.

Unfortunately, I wasn't in love with this one like I was in love with The Start of Me and You. In fact, throughout a majority of the book, it didn't seem that special. I didn't feel super connected …

Book Review: The Start of Me and You

Rating: Fire  There was so much I loved about this book. It wasn't earth shattering or mind blowing, but it was funny, sad, romantic, and sweet. Emery Lord is a magnificent writer, and it shines through in this story. Paige's voice is fresh, raw, insecure, and vulnerable. Half the things she said could've come out of my own mouth, …

Book Review: The Book Thief

Rating: Fire  Disclaimer: This review will contain spoilers in order to attempt to do justice to this book. Also, the book spoils itself multiple times.  Okay, so let me just get this out there. This book is the best book I've ever read. I'm really going to try to capture what makes it so amazing but I know …
