Bookish Boyfriends

Image
Who do you want to be stuck in Quarantine with? So, that is the question of the century, would it be Kaz or Rowan, Draco or Hunt? This needs some serious thought! So I thought I would bring you: my bookish boyfriends (or the ones that I would definitely quarantine with). Honorable Mentions include: Hunt Athalar Dextro Arez Jacob Portman UNFORTUNATELY, they did not make into my top five but to me they are definatly worth mentioning. to me each of they have an amazing qualitly that I love. Is it to soon to say I live in a fantasy world. 5. PRINCE MAXON SCHREAVE  Prince Maxon from the Selection series is one of the kindest souls that I have ever encountered. He is so gentle and patient with America. His love of photography is amazing and I really hope that he would be patient if he ever tried to teach me. During the Selection, he is trying to find a wife out of the 35 girls that have been selected in a futuristic version of what used to be the US. He goes about it

What to do during Quarantine?

Not a lot, is the answer to your impending question. I mean, how many times can you read the same books, reorganize the same shelf and sit in front of your computer hoping that inspiration will strike. I feel like I have literally nothing to do but read and no matter how much I love it there comes a time where I start seeing words everywhere. Here are some obvious and not so obvious things to do during Quarantine: 1. Watch TV! Netflix has become my best friend since lock down, and for once I have no idea what to watch. I have taken to re-watching some of my favourite series from over the years. Here are some that I am watching: Once Upon a Time  If you hadn't guessed already, I'm a mad fantasy fan and to me OUaT always summed up being a fantasy lover. The stories you know and love are real, but the fairy tale creatures are trapped in a place without time until the saviour can break them free of the curse. I think this series is amazing and its been so exci

Book Review: Again, But Better

Welcome Back! Thanks for staying, as well! I have already blasted through one of my books on my TBR and it is... AGAIN BUT BETTER by Christine Riccio So, here is my honest review of the book.  Warning this will contain spoilers. I didn't go into this book thinking very much. I have been a BIG fan of Christine's since the early days. Here writing chronicles videos on her youtube, polandbanannabooks, are one the the amazing things that is encouraging me to continue writing. But seeing the finish product of those writing videos is amazing.  First, the book cover.... We have to talk about that book cover. First can I just point out how beautiful it is. I have the hard copy so underneath that dust jack is the most beautiful sparkling watermelon and it is brilliant.  I think that the cover really summarizes the book. The different block colours indicate towards the second chances that Shane gets in a subtle was which is nicely touched upon. Characters

Quarantine Day Number...

Hola! Welcome to a new blog! This is exciting. I hope it works out as well as I want it to. So quarantine has been going on forever and I though that I would share with you what I have been reading. Its weird to have so much time on my hands to read books because I'm just not used to it. Being a English Lit student, I have had to read books but not for personal reasons, but now university is finished I decided to put my efforts into something else. I thought about a YouTube booktube, but I decided I wanted to see how this thing would go. This is a lot easier for me. I've always been better at writing stuff down, I think that's why I wanted to write. Quarantine has been going on for nearly six weeks. That's six weeks of nothing to do but read and order more books. I have officially lost track of the day, month and everything else. I don't even remember that last proper thing I did or when I went outside :) I have set up a quarantine TBR which I thought to
