Hi lovelies! 

First, sorry I was MIA for the past few days. It was exams week and although I had written some posts in advance, I never got around to editing them... Anyways, now I'm back and let me tell you that I have some semi-exciting news for you!

How are you doing today lovelies? I hope the answer is very well and I'm doing pretty good too, thanks for asking!

By now, if you've been following me the least bit during the last two months, you should know that every Thursdays, I do this original meme here on Sailing Through Books that consists of taking the cover of an upcoming book and inventing my own synopsis. This meme is called When I First Saw You, WIFSY for short, and you can find more info on it here.

Now, a couple of weeks back, I announced that Izel, the wonderful blogger behind A Bookish Flower, was teaming up with me for WIFSY.

We've all been victims of this unfortunate experience of reading a book that was surrounded by so much hype that we just had to read it. And then we do and we are left confused as to why the book in question did not live up to our expectations. The answer to this question? Because they were simply too high.

Let's take a look at this hype that can be so useful and yet so deadly for a book.
