 Blog Update Number 2

I hope you all are having a great week so far. We don't have that much left to go. Friday is almost upon us....just hold on a little longer.

This past week I have stumbled upon something very addicting. BOOKSTAGRAM. I know I'm very late about it but I have fallen in love with it. I found some really great bookstagrammers and some awesome blogs as well. I have a regular instagram but for the life of me, I don't know why I didn't start a bookstagram.
I am nowhere near a professional photographer but I try to add some really nice touches to it.

 My family and I had a great time this pass weekend. It was a last minute trip but it was very needed. The water was great. I didn't swim much but the point of it was

I purchased four books(early birthday present to myself). My favoirte book series is Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I ship Warner so very much! I loved him way more than I did Adam. But, I love bad guys in most stories anyway. I also got the Young Elites by Marie Lu. I haven't read this one yet but I can't wait. I heard some really great things about it.

That is all with bookish things.

My birthday is this weekend and I have plans to go to dinner with friends. I'm going to a restaurant that I haven't been to before so that will be fun. I love any excuse to put on a nice dress, heels, and makeup.

That is all for this week. 
What do you guys have coming up?

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 feelings going int

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

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
