Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Read Because Someone Made Me!

Leave a comment

The Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly challenge post previously hosted by The Broke and Bookish and now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. You can follow along for each weekly post here. This week’s post was a little open ended – books that we bought, borrowed or read because…insert something. I decided to share the books that I read because someone made me. Maybe it was a book I had no interest in reading because it wasn’t something I normally enjoy, maybe I gave it a second chance because a friend insisted, maybe it just was never on my radar until someone told me to read it.

Here we go!

March Book and Blog Wrap Up and April Goals!

Leave a comment

Let’s be honest with each other – March has not only been the weirdest, craziest month in 2020 but its also been the weirdest month I might have had in my entire life. So that being said, I didn’t read or blog much in March. I was dealing with being sick myself after coming home from my Seattle trip and then dealing with working in healthcare during this nightmare and its been hard to concentrate on anything other than, well, Netflix right now. I’m hoping to up the reading AND blog game in April. There’s no OTBF, no YALLWest (though there is now a virtual event!), no Festival of Books, no WonderCon so I should have a lot of time on my hands.

For now, let’s recap the pitiful month of March

The Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly challenge post previously hosted by The Broke and Bookish and now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. You can follow along for each weekly post here. This week’s post was originally the top ten outrageous things I’ve done for the love of books. I couldn’t quite think of ten things so I modified it a little to top ten ways I know that I’m a book lover.

Interview and Giveaway: Adalyn Grace and All the Stars and Teeth (OTBF Edition!)

Leave a comment

I am SOOOO insanely excited to be sharing this interview and giveaway today. As you may know, a lot of events have been canceled or postponed and the Ontario Teen Book Fest was definitely not exempt from that. I’m truly really sad about it but I still wanted to spread the word about these amazing authors. Events truly help authors to spread the word about their books and to make sales so a lot of these authors are definitely feeling the pain of these events being canceled. Indie authors and debut authors are also hit harder on this as well – so I’m excited to share a 2020 debut, Adalyn Grace!

We were already in the process of working on our interview for the Ontario Teen Book Fest blog tour when the event was called and canceled so we decided to keep moving forward, share some love for her debut novel, All the Stars and Teeth and do a little giveaway!

Let’s jump in – learn a little about Adalyn, her brand new book that hit the NYT bestsellers list AND, the best part, how you can win a copy!

Waiting on Wednesday {46}

Leave a comment

Today’s Waiting on Wednesday comes from one of my favorite people literally on the planet – she’s kind and funny and hello, I’m SO ready for her second novel to finally be in my hands! Some people might be avoiding apocalypse themed fiction right now but I’m the opposite – I need to read the fiction to give me a break from the reality. Today’s Waiting on Wednesday is the sophomore novel of Demetra Brodsky, Last Girls!
