Books I got this week Won: The Witch Hunter by Virginia Boecker Somehow I won this from the NOVL newsletter! I don’t even remember entering haha. But YAY! Thank you NOVL :) Weekly Recap Posts on the blog: Rearranging my library I’ve been unhappy with my library for a while – I love the idea of having the books in the closet because I have a special room JUST for books, but at the same time it wasn’t ideal.

Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward. Broken. My heart is broken. After the last novella ended, I should have braced myself. Alexandra bracken doesn’t know the meaning of rainbows and sunshine. No Happy Ever Afters. (I’m terrified to read In the Afterlight!) I never cared much for Sam in The Darkest Minds, only because she didn’t have much of a role. Ruby’s feelings of guilt over what happened between them overshadowed anything else. I was actually […]
Full list of Life of a Blogger topics. Last week’s topic: Websites This week’s topic: Organization To tell you the truth, I like the idea of organization more than the actual act. I love perusing home organization on Pinterest! Unfortunately, I’m kind of lazy (okay, really lazy), so things tend to get haphazardly thrown in places they don’t belong.

And you get angry. WHY IS SUCH A TERRIBLE BOOK DRESSED IN SUCH A GORGEOUS COVER?! You’re devastated, and a little piece of your soul dies. Here are just a few of the covers I […]
Caution: Possible spoilers for The Darkest Minds Wow, you guys, just wow! Sometimes middle books have this thing called Second Book Syndrome – yeah, you know what I’m talking about – and you end up being totally disappointed. Such was NOT the case with this one! It was just as good as the first book. It blew me away! As I mentioned in my review of the In Time novella, Alexandra’s prose is very engaging. She has a way with […]
Hey guys! I hope you enjoyed this readathon as much as I did! I want to thank everyone who participated, and give a special thanks to those who took the extra time to participate in the mini challenges as well. How did everyone do?! I did good – I didn’t reach my goal of 4 books, but I read 1500 pages, and in the normal books I read (350-400 pgs) that would be about 4 ;) My final progress Total […]
