The Promised Special Post + Giveaway Winners!

Here's the special post I promised in my Blogversary post! I let you guys pick what kind of blog post you wanted me to do, so here it is!!

(The Giveaway winners will be announced at the bottom.)



 The winning vote for the special blog post was a Q&A!

So here's my answers to y'alls questions!
Also, you can thank Chloe @ Forever Fictional and Diva Booknerd for the Q&A!



~Ze Questions~


In the last year, have you noticed any changes in how you blog?

 I'm more open and less insecure with other bloggers that have been at it longer than me. In real life I don't really talk about my personal life or thoughts with anyone- it's a rule. But I'm so comfortable with you guys it's hard to not tell you about how I'm doing (such as when I hurt my wrist, I didn't tell anyone in real life until it was obvious)!


What has been the most popular review you've posted?

Eek, um... let me check real quick...
 It looks like my Book Review for Starfall by R. M. Anderson! (Well, now I know lol.)


What is your own favorite blog post that you've written?

 Well, you see I don't have a favorite... I make sure that each post is something I enjoyed and loved making for you guys- otherwise, it gets deleted ASAP!!
I think of it like how I think of my stories that I write, if I don't enjoy writing it or anything then I'm not going to waste my time convincing someone else to like it.


What do you hope to achieve in the next year of blogging?

To still be able to support my favorite bloggers and to make more friends that love books! Honestly, I don't have many goals for my blog, I'm surprised I made it this far!


What's your favorite genre to read?

I read literally everything except Erotica xD


If you could meet five fictional characters in real life, who would they be?

LET ME LIST MY FICTIONAL BOYFRIEND LIST!!! *Crap, let me find it lol*

*clears throat*

Percy Jackson!
Keefe Sencen 😍
Maxon Schreave 
The Darkling
And Riden (from Daughter of the Pirate King)

Believe me, this is just the top and less embarrassing ones on the list...

 What's your favorite book-to-movie adaptation?

A Walk To Remember! I honestly loved the movie a bit better than the book!


Movie or TV adaptations?

Of books? Movies. In general? Movies lol. UNLESS we are talking about anime, in that case...ANIME wins!!


Series or standalone?

GAH!! Hard question!! It depends because there are some standalones that end in a cliff hanger and need a sequel and then there's some series that should have stopped after one book.


 Hardbacks, paperbacks or ebooks?

Hardbacks!! But I don't mind paperbacks because usually, they are cheaper by a lot!





Giveaway Winners!

Remember when I gave the cover reveal and told you about my book that's coming out? Well, here are the lucky winners of the giveaway!!

They each won a coffee mug, a B&N bookmark, and an ebook copy of The Poet of the Heart!

The lucky winners have been sent emails already, but here's who won!


Desara V.

 Addison Carmichael



 (I have ARC copies available for anyone interested in reviewing The Poet of the Heart!)

Thank you guys for all your help and support!! And your kind comments about my book!!

It means a lot!


Thanks for reading!!

    What a fun post, it was so nice getting to know you better! I loved the book A Walk to Remember it was my first Sparks book and then I saw the movie and fell even more in love with it! I adore the movie and when I tried to go back and re-read the book, I couldn't because it is so different from the book. Funny how that works some times.

      Exactly! I actually watched the movie with my grandma all the time before I knew it was a book, it's still the only Nicholas Sparks book I've read!

    Anime always wins! I'm happy we share similar interests, because most people don't squee over it like we do, haha. At least not most people I've met! My husband doesn't understand why I like it. He thinks it's just boobs. Hey, have you seen the Seven Deadly Sins? It's one of my favorites! Also, Yu Yu Hakusho! It's an old one, but sooo good. One of the first anime shows I ever watched. :)

      Oh, I'm planning to watch Seven Deadly Sins soon! My brother loves it!! I love when I find out someone likes anime, because there's a large majority of people you meet that just judge the all of it based on one thing they saw from one anime!

Library Love | 1st Post

Hi guys, so my friend Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? did a post that I thought was really cool and I would want to start doing. Basically whenever I go to the library, I share in a blog post what I got and hope to read! I think this is meant to be like once every two or three weeks, but I actually only get to go to my library probably once a month... SO.... yeah haha. But whenever I do go, from now on I'll be doing a little blog post for you guys! :D                  ~             ~             ~             ~               ~                ~ So here's what I think they call a ''Library Book Haul''?

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...
