Guest Post: Book boyfriends & why they're the BEST

Hello, Cornerfolds readers!! I am so excited for the opportunity to guest post here and hopefully meet some new people! I blog at Sugar Dusted Pages, where I yell excitedly about books and beautiful book covers. I may have an addiction. Anyway, this post is about book boyfriends and why they are the BEST. I like romance, but I’ll admit it annoys me sometimes, especially in YA. Because 1) I hate love triangles 2) it’s often extremely contrived and POINTLESS 3) I hate love triangles and 4) I get jealous?!? BUT I am convinced that one of the few things that matches the wonderfulness of a good book is a swoonworthy book boyfriend. Not only...

Top Ten Tuesday #141: ten authors I'd love to meet

Today's Topic:  Top Ten Authors I'm Dying To Meet This topic was surprisingly easy to decide on! When I saw it, I definitely though I'd have to shrink it down to my top five, but I ended up finding ten fairly quickly. The truth is, I'm not a people person at all in real life. But these are ten authors I'd love to meet if I could! Some because I'm obsessed with their books, some because they seem like absolutely hilarious people to be around, and some because they're a combination of both! A.G. Howard Brianna R. Shrum J.K. Rowling Lauren DeStefano Leigh Bardugo Marissa Meyer S-Jae Jones Sabaa Tahir Sarah...

Weekly Recap: 3/19 - 3/25

Happy weekend, everyone! I am happy to report that this week has finally been just a little bit less hectic, although we've still had our fair share of people in and out of the house to fix/deliver things. No one told me how insane moving into a new house was! But if this week was any indication I expect things to be back to normal fairly soon. In addition to house stuff, I finally finished a book, my husband and I saw the new Beauty and the Beast and LOVED it, and we went to Disney Springs to browse around and eat crepes. In the coming week I'm hoping to read ahead with Jane, Unlimited and get some blog posts queued up!  Hi...
