Morning, everyone,
I’ve been meaning to catch up on my posts, but I almost didn’t do this one until now. Don’t you hate procrastinating?
I want to thank Emer from A Little Haze Book Blog for nominating me. Please, please, please visit her blog!
Enjoy the read!
I have fallen behind on so many posts. So I thought I’d do an award tag. I want to thank Brittany from Perfectly Tolerable for nominating me!
I absolutely love her blog, and you should too. So please visit it.
Morning, bloggers!
I’m back! I took needed a much-needed hiatus from the online world and my blog. I didn’t want to spread myself too thin with everything going on, so I took some time off.
I want to thank Misty from Misty’s Book Space for nominating me! Please give her some love, yes?

What was the last book you strongly disliked?
The Girl the Sea Gave Back didn’t sit well with me. I wanted to love it. And while I enjoyed it, I think my expectations were a tad too high for what I read.
How does your star rating system work for your reviews (if you use one)?
5 star: Loved it
4: Liked it a lot, but had a few issues
3: Liked it, but had several issues
2: Didn’t like since it had many problems
1: Hated it
What are your favorite pizza toppings?
Pepperoni, onions, red and green peppers, and sausage! Sometimes, I enjoy some pineapple (fight me)
Would you rather read a great plot with mediocre characters, or a boring plot with amazing characters?
Oh no, not this question. Okay, I’ll pick amazing characters.
How many books are you currently reading, and which one is your favorite so far?
I’m currently reading one e-ARC. But my last favourite is Broken Wings! I love me some dark high school romance.
What was the last book review you posted?
HAHA. I’ve been in a review slump since August. But the last one is DEV1AT3.
Do you prefer MG, YA, NA, or adult books?
I’m starting to prefer NA and adult more than anything lately. But I adore YA though.
Is there a popular author you’re NOT interested in reading anything by? (Elaborate if you’re comfortable doing so!)
Tomi Adeyemi and Justina Ireland are at the top of my list. Tomi attacked Nora Roberts, and Justina attacked Asian women. Need I say more?
What marginalized rep would you most strongly like to see more of in books?
I would love more mental illness rep. Unfortunately, I don’t see a lot of it though. But it needs to be done properly though. Making fun of mental health or not representing it correctly will hurt readers.
Do you listen to music while reading?
No, I cannot. If I do, I’ll find myself humming to the song, not reading the book.
Do you prefer book twitter or bookstagram?
Bookstagram, which I’m not involved in. Book Twitter is a bit too…psychotic.

I swear you are all out to make me cry this month. And I feel as if I don’t deserve it. Okay, okay. I’m good. I’m fine. Let’s start a new week with an award nom post, yes?
Leelynn from Sometimes Leelynn Reads, who is so damn sweet, nominated me for my seventh Sunshine Blogger Award. And all I want to do is to smoosh her with love. Don’t forget to take some time to visit her blog.

The time has come for the 2019 Book Blogger Awards! And I don’t know if I want to cheer or to hide. This community we’re all a part of has grown over the years. And I can’t help but be proud of it and us. So when I heard that the awards were running again, I knew I had to participate.
Are you like me and not sure what to do or how to do it? Take a look at the rules and categories. You can find my nominations below!
Morning, everyone!
You don’t know how much I needed to step away from everything and just dedicate some real time to reading. My life is beyond stressful, so I needed that time away. Have you ever felt the same?
I want to thank Meeghan from Meeghan Reads for nominating me! Darling, I love you. And don’t you dare skip over her blog. Head over now and give her love.

Which fictional character best displays your values?
A mix between Aelin and Manon, which may be a bad combination.
What is your favourite book you’ve read so far this year, and why?
Sunshine and Bullets may be at the top of my list. But so is The Gilded Wolves. For the former, even if it had some flaws, I fell hard for it. It’s a darkly twisted reverse harem. But I breezed through it in about twenty-four hours. For the latter, Roshani created such a rich, detailed, and unique storyline that resonates with me.
What is your favourite book-to-movie adaptation?
I might have to say White Oleander. I watched the movie before I read the book. But both are authentic. I don’t know why I keep coming back to it, but it came into my life at the right time.
Which fictional character do you think would be the most boring to meet in real life?
I’m sorry to say that Clary from TMI and Alina from the Grisha Trilogy would be it. Both of them are whiny.
What is one thing you do to unwind?
Finding a quiet place to listen to music, even instrumental, seems to calm me down most of the time.
If you could pick any author to write a fairytale retelling, who would you pick and which fairytale?
I’d love for Marissa Meyer to do a sci-fi retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I’m not sure if I’d want it in the Lunar Chronicles, but I’d be thrilled if it were.
What’s the best book title you’ve ever heard of?
I love Sorcery of Thorns, House of Salt and Sorrows, and Likel1k3!
Who is your OTP or bookish BFF?
I do not have enough time to list off most of my OTPs. I’d be here all night. But honestly, if I were friends with Magnus Bane, I’d probably be ecstatic.
If you could control one element (earth, air, fire or water), which would you choose?
Duh, fire, of course. If I would control lightning, I’d take that.
Who is your favourite fictional animal? (i.e., not just dragons, but Kozu from The Last Namsara)
I’ll never stop loving Abraxos. He smells flowers. Really, how can I not adore him?!
What is your favourite way to treat yourself?
I used to hate shopping by myself. But I’ve grown to love it though. When I need some time by myself, I’ll head to my local Indigo and just spend as much time as I need there.

Morning, bloggers!
I’m a little sad to see the weekend go so quickly, but I had a busy one. And a part of me is happy it’s over. And frankly, I’m glad for this new month.
Kimberly from Bookish Kimberly nominated me for the award. I can’t thank her enough. Please, take some time and visit her blog!

Morning, bloggers!
I’m getting to wind down from a busy week. And I thought tackling another award post may be an easy way to wrap everything up.
Laura Beth from Hot Shot Headlines nominated me. God, I love that blog name. Before you get to my post, head over to her blog and check out her posts!
Oh, I am ready for the long weekend. I feel a cold coming, which couldn’t have come at the worst time. And I need some time away so I can unplug and have some alone time. You know what I mean, right? I don’t care if it’ll rain for the entire weekend though. It’s the perfect excuse to unwind.
Brittany from Perfectly Tolerable nominated me. She put such a large grin on my face when I read her post and saw her nom. I love her. Please don’t forget to head over to her blog! Have fun, everyone.
Happy Friday!
What are you all up this weekend? I’m hoping to put a dent in my blogging. And with some luck, I want to tick off another book for this month.
Eline from Aqua Pages, a blog you should be following, nominated me for my fourth Mystery Blogger Award. When I saw her post, it made my day. I want to thank her for this! Don’t forget to drop by her blog!
