When I First Saw You #17

March 31, 2016



What is When I First Saw You?
When I First Saw You, or WIFSY for short, is a weekly meme created here on Sailing Through Books and co-hosted by Izel from A Bookish Flower and yours truly. It consists of sharing a first impressions of a book in the form of a made-up synopsis, so basically judging a book by it's cover yes. 

How does it work?


Every week, a new cover is chosen and is shared here at the bottom of the page. You write a synopsis for this book with the cover and title as your only guide. Then, you compare it to the real synopsis and laugh at how off you were or congratulate yourself on your amazing deduction skills!
You are free to post any day of the week, but the weekly WIFSY post will be up every Thursday with a link up so you can share your take on the week's cover.

"On the edge of seventeeeeeen!" (channeling my inner Stevie Nicks)

Hey guys! It's already the seventeenth edition of WIFSY! Can you believe it? It means seventeen made-up synopsis written, seventeen incredible books... and a lot more to come!

I want to apologize for absence lately, I've just been lazy...! #sorrynotsorry 
I do started writing a review, so that counts for something! I was hoping to get it up yesterday, but clearly that didn't happen! 
Anyways, it'll be up soon, promise! 

And now, back to what's happening today; here's this week's cover!
PS: Yes I now it came out earlier this week, but what can I say, Izel and I made a mistake, we thought it was coming out later this year! So you'll just have to deal, alright?:)

Hello everyone! I hope all is going well for you! On my side of the computer, things are alright. I'm still in a reviewing slump, so sorry about the lack of reviews on the blog lately, but spring is almost here and I can't wait to start wearing dresses again! 

Yeah, I "stalk" blogs, do you? -DISCUSSION POST-

Hi, my name is Sophie and I stalk* blogs.

The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, right? But is stalking blogs really a problem? That's what I want to talk about with you today.

I'm so sorry guys! It's the second week that my WIFSY post isn't on time... This past week, I was mixed up in my days since it's March break for me and I woke up this morning realizing that we were Thursdays and not Wednesday and now, here I am, writing this post as fast as I can. Without further due, here is this week's cover!

Top Ten books on my Spring TBR -Top Ten Tuesday-

March 15, 2016



Spring is almost here guys! Can you believe it? I sure can't! Everything just flew by and for me, especially since I'm a senior in high school, it means that the end of something is getting closer and closer...

Anyways, enough about that, today, I'm participating in Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme created and hosted by the lovely gals over at The Broke and the Bookish. How does it works? It's pretty simple: they give a topic each week and you have to make a top ten list regarding said topic. Easy, right?

This week's TTT is Top Ten books on you're Spring TBR, AKA 10 books I absolutely want to read this Spring. Let's get into it, shall we?

Meet Mallory, AKA yours truly -GET OFFA THAT SLUMP-

March 14, 2016



I've been in a kind of blogging slump in the past month; I can't seem to write reviews I'm proud of, you see? And I think it's because I've been reading the same genre for too long and I don't know what to say anymore when I try to review books...

But worry not!

Rachel, the blogger behind The beauty and the bookshelf created this cool thing called Get Offa That Slump to help poor bloggers like me, well, get out of our blogging slump! You can participate even if you're not in a slump; Rachel's post idea are really fun and I'm sure you would find something that would interest you!

Alright, so with the rambling behind us, today's prompt is If you were a fictional character
And my friends, if I was a fictional character, I'd be Mallory, from Going Vintage.

Hi guys! Sorry about the lateness of this post, I lost track of time this week and when I woke up this morning, I realized I hadn't written my WIFSY post yet! So I'll cut this short and jump right into this week's WIFSY!

Not caring about stats doesn't mean not caring about followers - DISCUSSION -

March 9, 2016



I've never been one to be afraid to speak my mind. In the blogosphere though, I felt like I had to hold back a little because I didn't want to offend anyone. Then I reminded myself of why I started my blog: to have a little corner of the Internet that was mine and mine only, where I could share my thoughts on books and everything bookish.
So with that in mind, I finally shared a discussion post that I had been thinking about for a while talking about why I hate the "US only" label. A lot people commented and I'm glad because I realized that some of my frustrstrion was about stuff that no one could control. Now, I know that topics like that are effy in the blogosphere, but I don't really care. I don't mean to offend anyone but if nobody talks about it, how can we try to solve any problems that might exist?

With all of this said, I am back today with another discussion post: Not caring about stats doesn't mean not caring about followers.

Where did you go February? -monthly wrap up-

March 7, 2016


It's crazy how time flies, am I right, or am I right?
II'm back from my two week break today to share with you all the crazy things that happened this past month along with my goals for March! (and by crazy things I mean not so much)

Hey guys!

Again, please forgive my absence. I got a little overwhelmed with school lately and decided to put blogging on hold for two weeks. But! As mentioned last week, I could not miss a WIFSY day so here we are, again, for another episode of When I First Saw You!
