The Month of August and New Experiences ~ A Wrap-Up

Hello again my friends! It's time for another end-of-the-month-blog-post, also known as Monthly Wrap-Ups! I hope you all had an awesome month, are you ready for September? I personally am going to have lots of stuff going on in September, so I don't know how much reading I'll be able to get done. (Definitely not as much as I have been so far.) But anyways, time to share the experiences I had this month! ~ My YouTube Channel ~ For those who do not know, I am a BookTuber as well as a BookBlogger ! So here are the videos that I uploaded this month! I had a lot of Book Tags that I've been wanting to do forever- but I just never got around to doing them...so this month I did as many as I could without overwhelming anyone!! :D My Epic August TBR!! The Courtship Book Tag Smoke In The Sun + Currently Reading COFFEE Book Tag No Disclaimer Book Tag The A-Z Book Tag (I also Wrap-Up and TBR for August and September up!) ~ Any Baking Recentl...

The World of Solace | A Series Talk

Real quick, I also have a YouTube Book Talk here . (And don't worry there won't be any spoilers!) A long time ago I fell in love with a certain middle grade book, and I waited what felt like forever for a sequel.  However, when another book did come out- it wasn't a sequel per se. It treated the first book like a prequel, it had different main characters and took place in a different spot in the same world- with only years apart.  And then another book recently came out that did the exact same thing. It is book three in the series technically, but it treated the other books like prequels.  Now I do suggest reading the books in order, because the plot of the second and third book depend on some things that happen and are mentioned in the one previous to it. So, let's talk about the World of Solace series !  It is a Middle Grade, Steampunk, fantasy series! Title: The Mark of the Dragonfly Book: #1 Author: Jaleigh Johnson Summary:  ...

Scythe by Neal Shusterman | Review + Q & A

Hello lovely peoples! I have a book review to share with you, and at the bottom (after the review) will be a little Q & A section. Because my friend Desara also nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award, and I feel bad about not answering her questions- because I'd already done the tag when my friend Tessa nominated me. (That was a mouthfull, Lol.) So book review first! *         *         *        *         *   Scythe by Neal Shusterman!! Synopsis: Thou shalt kill. A world with no hunger, no disease, no war, no misery. Humanity has conquered all those things, and has even conquered death. Now scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control. Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the “art” of taking life, knowing that the consequ...

Sunshine Blogger Award

FIRST: I am going insane y'all!! (Not literally, though people have been known to question my sanity.) I have a ton going on in my personal life- which has affected my writing time recently :( So, my book will definitely not be ready for selfpublishing this year- but hopefully next year!! (I'm so hopeful right now...) But you guys can expect a lot of Booktube videos on my channel this month (they needed to be done) and some book reviews I meant to do awhile ago on here- but didn't \0/. ONTO THE BLOG POST!!~ My awesome friend Tessa nominated me for another blogger award! (Am I the only one that didn't know there were several?) Please check out her blog here ! She's an amazing friend that I've found through the bookblogging community! But doesn't ''sunshine'' fit Summer so well? (Even though it's really close to fall.) ~ Rules ~ • Thank the blogger who nominated you by linking their blog. • Answer the questions ....

The Tower by Nicole Campbell + My August TBR

 I have a book review for you guys at the top of this post, and at the bottom is my TBR for August! *I recieved a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my thoughts and opinions in any way.* Title: The Tower Author: Nicole Campbell Published: Synopsis: "On our sixteenth birthdays, our kind is gifted with awesome powers. Except no, not really because this isn’t Narnia, or Hogwarts, or whatever other mythical realm where witches supposedly live. This is Elizabethtown, Illinois, and much to the chagrin of the local chapter of Susie-Homemakers, we live here." All witches understand that the universe is a scary sort of powerful on a good day. On a bad day?  Well, that’s when The Tower card shows its face during a reading. As summer draws to a close before the beginning of junior year, Rowyn Black is tired of seeing that card stare up at her from the table.  Rowyn, Reed, and Rosalyn have made it through just about eve...
