Things are getting good!!!!

Glad I took a reading day today. Been neglecting my read for the last week!

I should have this done by now but I've been working non-stop on creating my blog lol I will be glad when I can just stop and read for hours again lol

My new Goodread's group is now up and running - Forgotten YA Gems.

We are currently picking out books for our June read.

In the process of putting up a YA reads group that will only read YA books that are five years and older! Hoping lots of you will be interested. Invites will go out in a bit <3

Fixing up reviews and writing ones I forgot to add over the next few days. So. Much. Work. Why do I do this to myself lol

And so it begins....

PS. Fuck you Tamlin!

I get ACOWAR a few days early and then get sick so I can't finish ACOMAF quickly.

Why is life so cruel?!?!?!?!?

ACOWAR has officially arrived!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job Chapters/Indigo on getting our special edition copies out to us early <3

ACOWAR might have just shown up in my mailbox!!! Of course, I'm not even done the second book yet - figures :P


Yes, it's a pre-order so please don't start shouting at me that I bought the book early and am not supporting the author's career. Pre-orders count towards the New York Times Bestseller List regardless of when it shows up :)

This is great - only 100 pages in and I'm already liking the second one better than the first. I adore the banter between Rhys and Feyre.

Please don't be that person who puts spoilers for ACOWAR in their status. No one likes that person :P

Ok, onto the next. I can't believe this is my first time reading this one. I was scared to read it sooner because I knew there'd be a cliff hanger!!

ACOWAR has shipped for me though! Maybe I'll even get it a day early *crossing fingers*

Ok, almost done my re-read and I forgot so many things. I like Tamlin in this book but he does some really douchey thing. Then you have Rhys, who's kind of a dick as well lol

The only one I'm rooting for right now is Lucien :P

I'm sure that will all change come the second book!

Yes, I'm jumping on the re-read band wagon. Judge me!

Putting this on hold for a short while. Hit a slump, but I will finish it soon.

*kicks book slump in the head*

Anyone else getting sick of seeing people call each other "snowflakes" non-stop because they think someone is being sensitive? How long are we going to be stuck on that buzzword?

I haven't read in the past week but I am FINALLY putting together a blog and getting my social media in order.

My reading should be back on track soon.

Small reading break. Doing some gaming for a few days lol

So many hobbies to balance - life is very hard! #firstworldproblems

Day three and still don't feel like reading. Why do I already feel guilty?

Think I'm just going to binge watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer today.

Goodreads, why do you do this? I feel like I only get a handful of people's reviews and never other peoples.

I don't understand this system at all sometimes.
