Bookstore appreciation weeks

August 26, 2015
For those of you who might not be aware if this (says the girl who just learned about it), the last two weeks of August are know (on the blogosphere at least) as Bookstore Appreciation Weeks.

See, now with technology and really cool things like Amazon and online shopping, people tend to buy less from actual bookstores. For myself, I'm only seventeen, or well, I'll be seventeen tomorrow, and I do not have a credit card and thank the gods I don't cauz I would buy way too many dresses, shoes, and books!

Top Ten Tuesday : Top Ten Books That Would Be On Your Syllabus If You Taught X 10

August 25, 2015


I'm the type of person who loves to help others; especially at school. I'm a straight A student and if I can help just one person, I get this wonderful feeling. I got told a few time that I would make a great teacher and honestly, if kids weren't so mean these days, I probably would consider it. 
All of this to say that I'm really excited about this weeks subject: the top ten books that would be on my syllabus if I taught X 101! Also it's perfect with back to school right around the corner, so let's get into it

Fight for Power, by Eric Walters - review -

August 24, 2015
Hi guys, I'm back! And while I was on vacation, I got through six books! SIX! I don't want to brag or anything, but I'm pretty amazed by myself *does a dramatic hair flip*
Anyways, I still thought about you and I wrote a review about Fight for Power, the second book in the Rule of Three series by Eric Walters. I wrote the good old fashion way, with a pen and a piece of paper. Therefore, I could not go back and edit and I want to tell you that it is not my best review. but I still had fun writing it and I hope you enjoy it!
Oh! And about that awful mistake I made at the end... My brain was thinking in French, it's not my fault so please don't be mad!

Need by Carrie Jones review

August 19, 2015
I've been wanted to read this book for a long time. And by that I mean five years. Why didn't I? Because my need (get it? Need? Ok, I'm done) to read it wasn't great enough for me to spend money to order it online and have it shipped (do you know how high shipping cost can be?). But, thanks to the Bookmarket, the amazing used bookstore not too far from where I live, I got it for five dollars! If you have read my other posts, you'll know that I'm cheap like that; I buy enough books as it is and the more money I can save on them the better!

Anyways! Now that I have read Need, I'm thinking: why the hell did I not read this book sooner?
To be perfectly honest, the story isn't all that special and unique. The ending was predictable and the characters were kind of cliché. But I loved it anyways!
