Cover Reveal for ACOWAR!

This book right here?..........It will destroy me. I know it will. I just know. We have waited so long for this and I will try my best not to devour this when I get it because I want to sit and fully enjoy and invest myself in it but there are so many questions that I feel are going to be answered and of course more are going to rise. Also can we talk about the drama?! We all know how ACOMAF ended and I don't want to spoil it if some of you all haven't read it but we know that there is going to be some MESS! This is when the s*** just got real. Seriously. I have a bunch of scenarios as to how this book can play out but I'm going to keep cool and go with the flow.

Java and the Librarians Ep. 1: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Our first episode of Java and the Librarians was a great success! We had so much fun discussion our thoughts, opinions, and feels of this book. Although we did have a few technical difficulties it was still so much fun. I cannot wait until the next one for next month. For February we will be reading Save me the Waltz by Zelda Fitzgerald. Goodreads summary:  One of the great literary curios of the 20th century,  Save Me the Waltz  is the first and only novel by the wife of F. Scott Fitzgerald. During the years when her husband was working on  Tender is the Night —which many critics consider his masterpiece—Zelda Fitzgerald was preparing her own story. The novel strangely parallels events from her husband’s life, throwing a fascinating light on Scott Fitzgerald and his work. In its own right, it is a vivid and moving story—centered upon the confessional of a famous glamour girl of the affluent 1920s and an aspiring ballerina—that captures the spirit of an era If you have not w

A Series of Unfortunate Events Release!

Netfix just got real. I have been waiting for this to finally come on netflix and I'm going to binge watch this sucker till its crazy! I watched the movie when it came out a while back and I really liked it. I know there was some disappointments with it because of how off it was from the books but I hadn't read them at the time. With this series, it seems to be kinda true to the story but we all will see. At first when it was announced that Neil Patrick Harris was going to be cast I didn't really see it. But when I saw the trailer I could see it was a good fit. Then the Baudelaire children are cast good too. I think the whole cast is good but I haven't seen it yet. I'm just going off of the pics and trailer. I can't wait to see it and I hope it turns out to be good!

2017 Anticipated Reads

I have a bucket load of books that I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this year. These are my top anticipated reads for the year. #1 A Court of Wings and Ruins. Of course this is my number one spot. My poor heart was RUINED in the last book. I won't say to much because of major spoilers but this book is highly on my anticipated reads. I'm such ACOTAR trash till its unreal. I'm soo addicted to the fan art that I have a dedicated board on pinterest and I keep pictures in my book journal and planner. Its crazy...I know #2 Caraval by Stephanie Garber Now, I don't know to much about this and that is kind of haow I wanted this one to be. All I know is that it is compared to the Night Circus which I am currently reading and I like it so far. Also, this feels like a dark, magical, and intense book which I love. #3 Strange the Dreamer by Lani Taylor This was on my radar when I first heard about it early last year. This sounds lik

Book Review: Lost Girls by Merrie Destefano

I received this ebook by the author through netgalley in exchange for an honest review: Goodreads summary:  Yesterday, Rachel went to sleep listening to Taylor Swift, curled up in her grammy’s quilt, worrying about geometry. Today, she woke up in a ditch, bloodied, bruised, and missing a year of her life.   She doesn’t recognize the person she’s become: she’s popular. She wears nothing but black.  Black to cover the blood.  And she can fight.  Tell no one. She’s not the only girl to go missing within the last year…but she’s the only girl to come back. She desperately wants to unravel what happened to her, to try and recover the rest of the Lost Girls.  But the more she discovers, the more her memories return. And as much as her new life scares her, it calls to her. Seductively. The good girl gone bad, sex, drugs, and raves, and something darker…something she still craves—the rush of the fight, the thrill of the win—something she can’t resist, that might still get her killed… The on

January Reading/Blog Goals

This year I promised myself that I would be more consistent with with my blog and stepping out of my comfort zone. I want to branch out more in the blogging community and also on the booktube community. I have a couple of goals that I want to stick to and I have another huge announcement that I have working on for the past couple of weeks. I will talk about that in just a few. Goal #1 More TAGs.  I love watch tags on youtube and reading them on others blogs. There are so much fun and it is an easy way to make blogger friends. Goal # 2 Participate in READ-A-Thons I did my first read-a-thon in September on the blog Wishful Endings. It was two weeks which was better for me at the time than one week. I had so much fun participating in the challenges. I also joined the goodreads group and twitter discussion. That was my first time doing that and I look forward to doing more. Goal # 3 Have set Posts Dates This is something that I have to play around with to see what days work be
