...and Happy Halloween I guess, whatever. hahaha. Tomorrow is November 1st, which means writing time. I'm getting super excited to start, and excited about my premise. My story is about a girl who is doing NaNoWriMo, who wakes up on November 2nd with the villain of her story in her room, unhappy that things aren't going his way. This is my second time...
Rating: 4/5 First, let's discuss how awful this cover is! I seriously can't stand books with the MCs embracing on the cover *eye roll* it's insanely cheesy, not to mention I wouldn't be caught dead with this in public. But moving onto the actual book: I have a serious soft spot for Katie McGarry books. I've read enough of them now to get...
I AM PARTICIPATING IN NANOWRIMO... again. For anyone who doesn't know, I not only love to read, I also love to write. I love writing stories no one has read before, and it is one of my dreams to one day get published. The idea of writing someones favourite book is unfathomable. NaNoWriMo (in case anyone has been living under a rock) is...
Rating: 5/5 Hello all! ...... *crickets* I know I haven't posted on here in many many months but I haven't forgotten about this beauty. Today I wanted to do a quick review of Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor, with no spoilers. This is the first book in a trilogy, and I had been dragging my feet about reading it for...
There is one phrase I can't escape when I read books, no matter where I turn, it seems to be in every single book I read. ...Any guesses what it is? Anyone? "I let out the breath I didn't realise I was holding" Or something along those lines. This phrase, or a variation of it is in every single book I read. I...
Rating: 5/5 This was a one night read. Started at 10.30pm finished at 3am. As one of the first New Adult books I read, this really got me into the genre. The name and the cover put me off, because I thought it was going to be some sappy smut, but the story was great. Jaqueline is the protagonist and is super strong....
Arrrgggghhhh!!! From some of my other posts, you may be able to tell that I like my books to look nice next to each other on the shelf. But one thing that bothers me more than anything, is when I make sure to get all paperback editions so they will match and then one of the books is different. Otherwise known as the...
"Don't judge a book by it's cover". Everyone and their mother has heard this wise phase - which is completely true. However as a book 'collector' I can't pass up a beautiful book - even if I have heard nothing about it. Today I will share with you some books in my collection I bought because they were too beautiful to pass up....
I've seen this tag floating around on the interwebs, and thought I would give it a go, to give you a little more insight into who I am.. I forgot to take a photo for this post - so here is an old picture of one of my smaller bookcases for all your bookshelf porn pleasure. How old are you? 22. Every time...
This review is spoiler free Rating 5/5 This book is the first in 'The Maddox Brothers' series. Which is a companion series to Beautiful Disaster. I read Beautiful Disaster and Walking Disaster in 2013, and I loved them. By that I mean I started the book at 8pm, and finished it at 3am that same night, so I knew these books were a...
Uh.. I went book shopping. These are some of my latest additions to my book collections. Lately I have been on a bit of a contemporary kick, and I noticed once these all arrived I was straying away a little. You may ask why I would buy an entire trilogy or the first few books before I have even read the first one....
Ever since I discovered the world of book blogging and booktube about 2 years ago, my savings account has dropped and my book collection had grown from about 15 to 250 books. Yikes. That's a lot of books. This past weekend I moved houses, which meant moving aaaall those books, and that was certainly a daunting task. A few weeks before I knew...
No spoilers will be in this review. Just look at those beauties! This series is YA contemporary and is made up of 3 companion novels, telling three different stories, although the lead characters from each book make cameos in the others. I dove into this series because 2 of them are set in Paris, which is where I am travelling in March! *dances...
Hello everyone!!! ...... *crickets* Yes, well hello to anyone who does read this. My name is Gabby, and I love to gab about books. I am 22, and am a Science nerd - I'm hoping to start my PhD in Molecular Microbiology. However, in the mean time I have a lot of spare time on my hands, and what better way to spend...
