My Need For Truthwitch In My Life!

Warning: There is going to be a lot of fangirling and flailing in this post. You know, I might not make lots of sense. And I might have gone overboard with gifs. Also the pictures in the collages were taken from Susan's Truthwitch Pinterest board.

   Ever since I heard of Truthwitch, I've been really excited for it. But when I saw the cover, I was blown away. I know that it's going to be such a badass series!

  

   And I wanted to talk about the many reasons why I'm also DYING to be part of the street team for Truthwitch!!!

The Bloggers and BookTubers Hate

   I don't know if you guys have heard about the drama going on in the book community. But I basically discovered the rift that's been going on between bloggers and booktubers. 

   Just a few days ago, a couple of bloggers were talking negatively about the booktube community. And were making generalizations about them as a whole. 

   What really upset me is when I saw for myself who the bloggers were and what they were saying. Because I knew their blogs and they've been blogging for a while now. And people that start a blog may look up to these bloggers. So it's so not okay with what they said. Because they may or may not

A Reader's Pet Peeve: Different Opinions On A Book

   As book lovers, we all have lots of books that we're just dying to read. But what happens when you shout out your excitement for a particular book on social media and someone says that didn't like it?

   This has happened to me various times and I absolutely hate it! Like why would you say that? I'm here all excited about the books and then I get told by someone that they didn't like it. The way I work as reader is that if I see lots of positive reviews on Goodreads, I feel excited going into the book. But if I see more people giving it mixed reviews, I get nervous and will most likely set it aside

Sometimes discovering the truth can leave you more hopeless than believing the lies…  

That’s what seventeen-year-old Sky realizes after she meets Dean Holder. A guy with a reputation that rivals her own and an uncanny ability to invoke feelings in her she’s never had before. He terrifies her and captivates her all in the span of just one encounter, and something about the way he makes her feel sparks buried memories from a past that she wishes could just stay

June TBR

   Last month was a really bad reading month for me. I only got to read four books when I usually read about six to eight books a month. My reading slump got the best of me and the books I did read were not helping either. They just weren't my type. There was one that was 2 stars and another was 3 stars. The only one that I did enjoy was The Wrath and The Dawn. But I didn't completely love it the way I wished I had.

   During the first week of June, I joined the TBR Takedown readathon where you read 5 books that each pertain to a challenge. And it definitely helped me tackle some books off my reading list.

The Challenges:
1. A book that's been on your TBR shelf over a year! (The Stars Never Rise & Hopeless)
2. A first book in a series on your TBR shelf. (The Witch Hunter)
3. An "out of your comfort zone" book on the TBR shelf! (Those Girls)
4. A book from your most recent book haul! (Howl's Moving Castle)

   The 5th challenge was to read an unread sequel and I ended up not doing that one because the only sequel I had not read was Heir Of Fire. But that one would have been unrealistic since it's such a long

The magic and suspense of Graceling meet the political intrigue and unrest of Game of Thrones in this riveting fantasy debut. 

Your greatest enemy isn't what you fight, but what you fear. 

Elizabeth Grey is one of the king's best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out witchcraft and doling out justice. But when she's accused of being a witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to burn at the stake. 

Salvation comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most powerful and dangerous wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will save her from execution if she can break the deadly curse that's been laid upon him.

Small Hiatus

   I've sort of been behind on my reading and scheduling posts. So I decided to take a one week break from blogging to catch up on writing my reviews and other posts I have in my drafts. I've never really wanted to do anything like this on my blog. But I feel if I tried to write up a post now, it come out feeling forced. And I don't want that.

   Plus I've been kind of a downer with still being in a reading slump. It's never been this terrible. It's sort of like being in a stage where I've been reading books for more than 3 years and I'm not a "newlywed" reader anymore. I'm not in a honeymoon stage anymore. If that even makes sense.

   But almost every book I've read this year has been 3 stars or below. I think I've only given three books a 5 star rating. And I feel it's because I'm not finding the right books for me. I always know that I'm a sucker for romances. I don't read adult books that often. I read more New Adult. But I
