Questions:

1. Which is/was your favorite subject
Like book genre? Or like school subject? My favorite book genre right now is contemporary. I love reading contemporary because it deals with more real life problems and how to overcome them. I don't know I've just been finding myself being able to relate to these books the most. 
As for school, I don't really have a favorite subject. I do love english, but I hate doing essay's. I like History but some parts can be boring. I guess I'd have to say english minus the essays.

2. Be brave: What is your most shameful characteristic?
Okay. I tend to push people away. Keep them arms length. I can't help it. I love my friends I do, and I trust them and all that, I just have issues with getting super close to people. I feel bad about it sometimes but I can't help it. 

3. Which book is your guilty pleasure? 
Hmm It'll probably have to be Dark Visions by L.J Smith. I love the trilogy and I love how now you can buy all three in one book, or volume I guess. I love it, it's kinda corny but in the best way possible! 

4. What social media you use the most?
To be honest I'm not really a social media person, but being a blogger kind of makes me a social media person. But the one social media networks that has always been my favorite is tumblr. It's Fangirl paradise. I'm on it every day, posting things, reblogging things, putting links up etc.

5. Which book you have in your TBR and you have been procrastinating too much into reading it?
Okay, don't kill me, but The Hunger Games. I read the first one and I never picked up the rest. I know I know I'm terrible! It's just other books kept getting in the way. Like Divergent. And The Darkest Minds, and others.

6. Choose a recent movie toon. Why did you picked him/her? 
I don't think I'm answering this correctly but I've been obsessed with Willamette Stone. They're not a real band, but the do have real songs. For those of you who don't know, Willamette Stone is the fictional band from If I Stay. I love Heart Like Yours. 

7. Which book are you reading right now? 
I'm reading Melt by Selene Castrovilla. I don't want to talk to much about it cuz I'm going to be doing a review on it, but I'm not to happy with it at the moment.

8. Name a Disney Princess for rating the last book you read and explain why. 
Jasmine. Because Queen of Someday is about a princess and her quest to fall in love. Unfortunately for her, she does, but not with the guy she's supposed to marry. Like Jasmine Sophie struggles to be powerful in a time when men and politics rule. 

9. How did you decided to start reading that book?
I decided to read Queen of Someday because I like historical fiction but I don't read enough of it. So I thought I'd give it a try

Blogtober: Favorite Books

24 October 2014




Well, I'm a book blogger. I like books. You could even say i'm borderline obsessed. I can't really pick just one book, it's like asking a mother what child is her favorite. You just can't do that.As of right now I', really loving Contemporary novels and I absolutely love every single one of the books I mentioned on my Top Ten Contemporary Novels. Here are some of my favorite books, in no particular order.

Ever by Gail Carson. This was the book that started it all. My love affair with reading begun with this book. I was about 11 and it took me two days to read it. I was in love with every aspect of the book.

Revolution by Jennifer Donnelly. If you've been on my blog before, you know that I love this book to death. I raved about this book so many times. It's amazing! This book got to me and made me see things differently.

Harry Potter Books by J.K Rowling. Because I'm a Harry Potter addict.

Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. I read this series when I was in fifth grade and I loved every moment of it. The characters are awesome, the storyline is superb, pretty much everything about these books was on point!

The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. Do I really need to explain? Didn't think so.

If I Stay by Gayle Forman. When I think of this book, I think about the aching hurt I felt when I read it. But I also think of hope and love and family. It's a great mix of hope and sadness.

Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. I read this when I was in fifth grade after finishing the Inkheart Trilogy. I love this series. Its awesome. I've never read a book like this. It's post apocalyptic, but Scott Westerfeld does it so differently!


Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell. Because It's one of the best books i've read in a really long time.

Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. The Infernal devices is amazing. Every aspect is perfection. But this book in particular stole my heart, destroyed it,  and put it back together. THAT EPILOGUE THOUGH!

Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher. This book is haunting. It makes you think about the things you do, say, even think about other people. It's sad, but it's through that sadness that you can understand the effect you can have on someone.

Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky. I love this book. My blog is even named after it. It's prose is simple. But nothing about that book is simple. It's so raw, and real, and gritty, that you can't help but love each one of the characters. And as a reader, forming friendships like that with characters, is  all I can ask for.

Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr. She's one of my favorite authors ever. She's got a great sad, haunting, creepy, but funny way of telling a story. It's pretty awesome. I actually read Ink Exchange first, but as soon as I read WL I was hooked.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin. NOAH SHAW. Okay he's not the only reason the books on the list. The series is awesome, but the first book is like WOAH WTF? It's creepy, scary, funny, romantic, cute, in other words the fangirl emotions run high while reading this book!

Blogtober: Falling For Autumn

23 October 2014

Today was a nostalgic, "what if-ing" kind of day. Thus I felt like a comfy, chunky knit sweater was the best way to go. I know I mentioned this before, but sweaters and skirts are my fall go to outfit. It's comfortable while still being cute and fashionable. Sometimes it's accessories that make the outfit you know?I dressed it up with some knee high socks that I absolutely fell in love with. I also added a floral necklace to help lighten up the outfit. 











Somehow it's already the middle of October. I know it sounds cheesy to say but as slow as time seems to go, once you look back, it actually went by really fast. I don't even know if that made sense.  I guess what i'm trying to say (and failing at) is that time has flown without me even noticing. Maybe it's because today's one of those nostalgic days when you can't help but think of what if moments and the could have been times. Because sometimes you look back at what you've done, and you're kind of like "what the fuck am I doing with my life". You might regret not having done something, doing things too late. Maybe we just have those what if ideas because we want more out of life. Maybe we just look for the ways we could have gotten to where we wanted instead of looking down the road you're on.

Blogtober: Fictional Boyfriend Tag

16 October 2014

1. Most romantic boyfriend

Augustus Waters from The Fault in Our Stars. Because a) he says things like "It would be a privilege to have my heart broken by you" and b) because he used his last wish to take Hazel to Amsterdam to meet her idol!! If that's not romantic I don't know what is.

2. Dark and moody bad boy with a good side

I'm going to have to go with Ash from The Iron Fey series. He's got this bad boy charm that had me swoony from the moment he showed up. But he's also moody and really closed off, but when he does show his emotions it's really deep and well swoon worthy!

3. Paranormal boyfriend

Cole st Clair from the Shiver Series and Sinner. He's a werewolf. That's pretty supernatural to me. I love Cole, I even wrote him a letter after I finished Sinner. He's amazing, he's musically talented, sweet, romantic.

4. Boyfriend you want to tame

Adrian Ivashkov from the Vampire Academy series. He's got a bad boy edge and I honestly almost picked him for number two, but I feel like he fits better under this category because his "bad boy" traits can be harmful to himself you know? I feel like I could get him to take care of himself better and just be not so self destructive.

5. Boy you friend zoned

Oliver Hazard Perry from the Blue Bloods Series. I'm soo sorry Oliver, I love you, I love you like Schuyler loves you, as a friend.

6. Your soul mate

Will Herondale from the Infernal Devices. For my birthday my friend drew me a picture of me in a library and Will. Will is just everything you know? He's sweet and funny and witty, and cute, and romantic, and has a bad boy edge but has an amazing heart. So there you have it folks I fell in love with a Shadowhunter.


7. Boyfriend you want to elope with

Kishan from The Tiger's Curse Series. I love Kishan sooo much! Okay if you haven't noticed by now, I have a serious thing for bad boys. Like no joke. I can't help it. And Kishan is no exception. But he's got a super soft and romantic side. He's also really impulsive and persuasive, so if any one could get me to just elope, it would be him.

8. Boyfriend you'd venture anywhere with

Adam from If I stay. For some reason I feel like I could really trust Adam to know what he's doing, to make sure i'm okay, and make me feel comfortable wherever it is we're at. Plus he could sing music on the way, and write some songs while I write on my blog or my stories.

9. Boyfriend you'd want to be stranded on a desert island with

Ren Laroche from the Nightshade Series. I feel like he could keep the both us alive and keep it interesting and maybe even fun. Honestly I adore Ren, he's charming and funny so I think we'd get along really well. Plus he's a werewolf so he can hunt and scare away other things that could potentially try to eat us.

10. Most badass boyfriend

Tobias Eaton from Divergent because how could I not pick him. He not only an amazing person but he can do pretty much anything he sets his mind to. He can kick ass and be a leader and yet have a soft side.
