Buckle up friends! We’ve got three months of reading to review, and I was on a roll in April. Most of the books I’ve read in 2019 have been total hits, but there have been some duds here and there. I’ve got a lot of books to talk about, so let’s get started! February Image from Amazon 1. Little White Lies by Jennifer Lynn Barnes Little White Lies features 18-year-old Sawyer who was raised by a single mother 40 minutes away from her posh grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousin. Sawyer is perfectly content being her mother’s keeper until her grandmother shows up one day offering her $500,000 to participate in the…
Catching My Eye | 2.15.19
Happy Friday! This week simultaneously felt like the longest and shortest week of my life. Last weekend was such a blast! I celebrated my brother’s birthday with him and a bunch of friends before he jetted home for the weekend, and I attended a gala-type event for an organization I’m a part of in Nashville. It was carnival themed, and I truly had a blast dancing the night away with friends. Despite the fun-filled weekend, I was feeling really anxious earlier in the week, so it felt like the days were dragging. I tried to brush aside my feelings with wine nights and tacos, but I think I’m just going…
February TBR List 2019
I started making these TBRs last year, and it’s really helped me stick to my reading goals. I am such a planner, and this is just another way for me to outline my life and reach my overarching goals. I rarely read everything on these TBRs, but I prefer to over-commit myself than under. I also always read something I didn’t anticipate at the beginning on the month, which is 100% okay. Like I said, this is an outline, not a final draft. Let’s get started with my February TBR list for 2019! Image from Amazon 1. They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera In a world where you…
Top 10 Tuesday: 2016
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It’s a fun way for bloggers all over the Internet to connect and post the things they love about books. This week was supposed to be about the books we are most excited to see published in the first half of 2016, but I just did a post just like that. So I’m going to post about the books I’m most excited to read in 2016 that I already own! Let’s go! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell 2. The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P by Adelle Waldman 3. The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien This has been sitting on…
Book Haul: Christmas Edition
Hello friends! I hope every one has had an amazing holiday, regardless of what you celebrate or even if you celebrate at all! This time of year is perfect from spending time with family and books. I normally wouldn’t post anything about presents I’ve received, but I got so many books this year that I simply had to share with you all this amazing book haul! (Side note: This is in no way me bragging about anything I promise! And if you feel like it’s braggy at all, just click the little x in the right hand corner of your screen!) Books My wonderful mother and father showered me in…
Top 5 Wednesday: Series I Want to Start
Christmas is THREE days away! And with that only nine days until the new year! With that being said, this week’s Top 5 Wednesday is dedicated to the series I want to tackle in 2016. Let’s get started! 1. Game of Thrones I’ve been hesitant to start these since I know they aren’t done yet, but I think 2016 is the year for me to finally get into this book, as well as the TV series. (I’m thinking of binge watching it in January.) 2. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy I have the entire series compiled into one book and looking at it is actually terrifying. It’s quite the…
Top 5 Wednesday: Reading by the Fire
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! That means curling up next to the fire (whether it be real or digital) with the best books and passing the time in the only acceptable way before the craziness of the holidays. This week is dedicated to those books that are perfect for reading on a cold, winter day. 1. The Favorite This is the most acceptable time to pick up that book people are always surprised you are re-reading. It’s your favorite. The one with the dog-eared pages, crinkled spine, and well-worn cover. You’ve read it so many times, you know it by heart. Yet you still love it and…
Top 10 Tuesday: Series I Want to Read
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It’s a fun way for bloggers all over the Internet to connect and post the things they love about books. This weeks topic was the top ten series you have yet to finish, but I tend to finish series in a matter of days when they are all printed (with the exception of series that have too many books — I’m looking at you “Pretty Little Liars”.) So, I decided to switch up my topic to reflect the top ten series I want to read. 1. The Infernal Devices — Cassandra Clare I read the first book and…
Top 10 Tuesday: Auto-Buy Authors
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It’s a fun way for bloggers all over the Internet to connect and post the things they love about books. This weeks designated topic is “auto-buy authors”. This refers to authors whose books you will buy no matter what. Personally, this is just too similar to the previous week for me (I’m not drawn to authors for some reason), so I’m going to list my Top 10 authors I want to read this upcoming school year. 1. Diana Gabaldon I’ve heard so many great things about “Outlander”. I can’t wait to get my hands on it. 2. George R.…
