Why It’s Taking Me FOREVER to Read This Book

Posted December 11, 2015 in Let's Discuss, Reading / 2 Comments

Blackveil

I have been “reading” this book for about a month. By “reading,” I mean more like “avoiding reading.”

Do you know what book it is? It is one of my all-time favorite books: Blackveil by Kristen Britain! I should want to read this book. I should want to finish it. I shouldn’t want to set it down and walk away without looking back.

So WHY don’t I want to read this book?

I’m thinking the real reason I don’t want to finish this book isn’t that I don’t like it. Seriously, I LOVE it. The real reason is most likely that I don’t want it to end.

You see, way back in September I told you all that I was going to reread this series. While I LOVE this series, my least favorite book comes after Blackveil and that is Mirror Sight. I could say a lot about how much I don’t exactly like Mirror Sight and how it doesn’t seem to fit as great with the series but here isn’t the place.

Blogversary ~ Day 3: Ever Ancient, Ever New {and giveaway}

Posted October 26, 2015 in Let's Discuss, Life, Reading / 0 Comments

To celebrate this crazy, beautiful, amazing year, I have decided to host a series of giveaways. The giveaways will all be Kindle ebooks since those are cheaper and I can send them internationally much easier. 🙂 Today’s theme is Ever Ancient, Ever New.


There is always the strive to stay relevant, especially in the realm of blogging. We live in a world where things are changing faster than we can write about them. We finish one thing and we are on to the next big thing.

Let’s Discuss! Book Formats

Let's Discuss! Book Formats

Lately I have been reading a lot more on my kindle. Mainly this is due to where I have been getting books.

The local library doesn’t have the best selection of books. I could get a card to a different library with a much nicer selection but those libraries are 2+ hours from my house. I don’t want to have to drive 2+ hours to check out a book and about a week or two later drive the same 2+ hours to return the book.

2015 Discussion Challenge

Posted February 1, 2015 in Let's Discuss / 2 Comments

Today I ran across the 2015 Discussion Challenge. This sounds like something that would be good for me to do, mainly by making sure that I am posting more than just reviews, Top Ten Tuesdays, and Friday 56s. Which, I must say, is what has been happening this past month more than not. Therefore, I will attempt this challenge.

2015 Discussion Challenge

The rules of the challenge are as follows (copied from It Starts At Midnight):

  • The 2015 Book Blog Discussion Challenge runs from January 1st until December 31st, 2014.
  • Sign-ups will remain open until December 31st, 2015 at 11:59 p.m. Central
  • You DO NOT have to have a book blog to join this challenge. If you don’t have a book blog, you may link up to discussions that you’ve started on Goodreads groups.
  • Create a sign-up post announcing your intention to participate and link up below. If you do not have a blog, you can link up to your Goodreads profile. There is no need to say what your discussion posts will be about – just tell us that you’re joining and let us know what your goal is.
  • Please link back to both challenge hosts and include the challenge button in your sign-up posts.
  • Every month, we’ll update this 2015 Book Blog Challenge Page with the links to that month’s Challenge linky – so you’ll always know where to find the latest link-up!
  • Share it! The more people we get to participate in this, the more awesome discussions we can all be a part of and the more fun it will be! So, invite your friends to join us!
  • This challenge is to help get us discussing books and book blogging, so talk about whatever you want as long as it’s relevant to book blogging. Discussions can be book related or book blogging related (or generally blogging related – no discussions about things that are completely off-topic like travel or fashion, etc). Discussions can also be about you personally if it’s a get-to-know-you type post.
  • There will be a kick-off post on January 1, 2015 on both Feed Your Fiction Addiction and It Starts at Midnight where you’ll be able to leave your links for any January discussions. At the beginning of every month, a new post will go up on both blogs for that month’s links.
  • If you forgot to leave your discussion link in the challenge month in which you posted the discussion or the linky list closed before you had a chance to leave it, you can leave it in a future month. (No duplicates though.)
  • There will also be monthly giveaways, so make sure you check in each month!
  • Use the hashtag #LetsDiscuss2015 to share your progress and connect with other participants on Twitter.

I am going to aim for Discussion Dabbler which is 1-12 discussions this year.
