My Questions from PR Book Reviews.

1. How long have you been reading for?

Honestly I did not start reading until I got in Jr. High. My mom starting working at the library and I would go with her. Before that I would only go to the library at my school and that was to study or get books that I had to read for class.

2. What was the first book that you fell in love with?

I remember checking out the Princess Diaries from my local library. I absolutely love love love that series!

3. What are you currently reading?

Connor by Dormaine G.

4. How many book signings have you been to?

I went to one last year at the YALSA (Young Adult Library Services Association) conference in St. Louis, Missouri. It was a weekend long event. I met so many different authors. To name some were David Levithan, Patricia McCormick, C.J. Redwine, and Ilsa J. Bick.

5. Do you prefer e books or paperbacks?

It depends. I have a love/hate relationship with my kindle. Sometimes I forget to charge it and that really sucks when I am for example in class or going out of town. I guess paperbacks would be my pick

6. What's one tip/pointer you would give to a new blogger?

Have fun with it! When i first started I didn't get a lot of followers. I think i might have gotten 5 but I still kept it up. Visit other blogs and get to know other bloggers that are out there to get yours out. BookBlogs is a great website for new bloggers.

7. Why do you blog?

I have a passion for reading. It is something that I can do over and over and never get bored with it. I hope that on my blog I can inspire others to see the beauty of what books can do. I love to visit other blogs and read reviews. That is literally where I get my to read list from. If i never would have went with my mom to work when she became a librarian I would have never became one and the love of reading that I have would not exist. I always say "reading is like a train of indefinite possiblities. It takes you places even if you are reading for 5mins. Those will be the best 5mins of your life."

8. How long does it take you to read a book?

If I really flat out love it...I will have that baby read in a day. If it was an ok read then maybe 2-3 days.

9. Would you rather have something to drink or snack on while reading? (tea, popcorn, candy, coffee)

I love coffee as much as reading. I do drink tea occasionally but coffee is my first choice.

10. Did you feel welcomed to the book blogging community when first starting your blogging?

Yes. When I got on BookBlogs everybody was so nice. Anything I needed help with I was helped. That is where I got most of my review request from. I have made a lot of friends since I have started blogging.

The Mister Book Review

Goodreads synopsis: London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face. But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own? I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

Discussion #1 Sex in Y.A. Fiction

Working as a Young Adult Librarian, I get this questions about this topic asked a lot. These are some of the questions that I am asked. Most of the time it is the parents that come to me especially the ones that have a child that is transitioning from children's fiction to Y.A. I can understand a part of what the parent is trying to do because of the age of the child. Not all of my teens parents monitor what they read but the majority of them do. So I break it down for them 1.) Y.A. stands for Young Adult. It ranges from the ages of 12-18 but it is divided. 12-14 and 15-18. If the teen falls into the 12-14 bracket I take them to the middle school section in our childrens area because it is a lot easier to find some books that will appease both parent and teen. 2.) Not ALL Y.A. is explicit and have vulgar language. It may have a few curse words. The majority of it may have some type of high school slang or something around that area and mild language but not all Y.A. is the...

Discussion Post #3 When did you find your love for reading?

I have been an avid reader for a good while but I did not start out as one. In fact, I hated reading. I never gave it a chance and as I said in the previous discussion post anytime I am forced to read something it just makes me want to not read it even more. I was about 13 and I remember one of my best friends was reading Harry Potter and I asked her why was she reading it. She looked at me like I had grown an eye in the middle of my forehead. In reality all I was seeing was the length of the book. At the time, I was very intimidated by how long a book was. Fast forward a couple of years I went to a library program and they were showing Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets. Long story short....I loved the movie. The librarian told me if I loved the movie I would most definitely love the book. I checked them out and I totally understood why my best friend loved them. They were simply amazing and I so desperately wanted my letter to come in the mail. I went into a reading slump ...
