dusting off the blogs (#1)

Basically this is just sort of a segment I literally just made up (:P) because I’m still smack-dab in the middle of some books that I won’t be finishing anytime very soon. So here’s what I like to call a “filler” blog… about blogs! Below are top blogs that I absolutely adore! Definitely go and check them out! 🙂 (Oh, and um… my slight obsession with GIF’s right now is a little unhealthy, but enjoy them anyway.)

1) Rachel Coker – not only is she one of my favorite authors (plus she mentors my writing through email!), but she’s also a great blogger. Her blogs are always well written and either really thought-provoking or really funny. Either way, they always leave me smiling.

2) Topaz Winters – through the pseudonym ‘Winters’ she blogs, writes, sings/makes music, hangs out with her adorable dog Hachii, and she’s a Swiftie. What’s not to love?

Every time I see something on her blog that I’m admittedly jealous of. 

3) The Loony Teen WriterI’ve very recently subscribed to this little gem, but I’m loving it so far! Great book reviews, among other ‘bookish’ things to read about! Plus we share the same amazing name! (For those of you who don’t already know, that would be the definition of awesome. Ahem.)

4) Go Teen Writers – well, as you can probably see, I really love teen writers, hehehe! But this one offers a lot of great advice for writing and it’s lots of fun to read. I’ve read both authors’ books in the past and they’re both amazing writers/bloggers!

5) Old-Fashioned Charm – I’ve been wowed with this blog for the past year now and Miss Laurie hasn’t done anything to make me undo my avid subscription to this lovely little spot on the internet! Even without my emails updating me of new posts, I check regularly for new reads!!

Ahhh…

While I’ve come across many blogs in the past, these are the few that have stuck with me for a while and I absolutely love! (With, of course, the exception of #3.) What blogs do you follow?

 

top ten tuesday // bookish things

“Top Ten Tuesday” is a blog segment hosted by The Broke & The Bookish. This week’s top ten Tuesday is all about booking things! 🙂

1) Googling ‘bookish things’

2) Reading when you’re not supposed to be.

4) Reading aloud to your cat because no one else will listen.

stacking the shelves

I recently heard about this meme hosted by Tynga’s Reviews (I don’t follow her blog, but she is the host of this meme. :)) and thought it would be fun. It’s all about sharing the books you are adding to your shelves, may it be physical or virtual. SO while I’m working through some pretty long books and finals have been last week and Monday and Tuesday this week, I thought it would be good to share the books I hope to do reviews on soon when I’m not so busy! 🙂 (By the way, click on the images to see them larger.)

howtobelike I’ve been working on this one for a while; it’s a bit long! (Though I do love a good long book!) This book is all about Walt Disney, and it’s very cool to read about! I’m currently little over half-way done with the book, so this will probably be my next review!

gray Sometimes I like to pick up a random book from the library and see how it turns out – you never know if you’ll like it or not! This one is actually under a pile of discarded papers, broken pencils, post-it notes, and other assortments of things. (In the picture I took, you get a view of the inside of my desk! Not my neatest place, ha-ha!) Give me time on this one, but I’ll see if I can finish it and tell you what I think!

funny I kind of want to read this one, but I’m not sure… I don’t have it yet, but I’m thinking about getting it since I’ve read several good reviews 🙂

I definitely want to read this one! I’m going to order it as soon as I get my allowance… or see if my mom would be willing to buy it for me, lol 😉

 

 

 

 

 

 

Until next time!
