Top Ten Tuesday #295: Books so bad they made me laugh

Today's Topic: Books that made me LOLat how bad they wereHappy Tuesday! CONTROVERSIAL OPINIONS HEAD! Today's topic is about books that made me laugh out loud, but of course I decided to give it a spin. I honestly couldn't think of more than a couple books that made me laugh so instead I chose ten that made me laugh at how ridiculously bad they were. You can find rants for most of these books somewhere on this blog, but suffice it to say I hated them all for one reason or another. What are some of your most hated (popular) books? Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Gi...

Weekly Recap: 2/14 - 2/20

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOGHi, everyone! I have been TOTALLY off the grid because my computer was hidden behind stacks of books, a couch, and under plastic. My husband decided to repaint my shelves this week and it was quite the process. Unfortunately, he decided the best place for everything was directly in the way of my computer, so I haven't accomplished anything. Except a bit of reading, which mostly consisted of rereads. I have been in a MOOD lately! Send me your fantasy romance recs, please! NEW BOOKS THIS WEEK    THIS WEEK I READ   IN CASE YOU MISSED ITYou missed NOTHING because my computer wasn't accessible!UPCOMING...

Top Ten Tuesday #293: Immortal book boyfriends

Today's Topic: Immortal Book BoyfriendsHappy Tuesday! The other day I was having a conversation with a friend about book boyfriends and how problematic it can be if you read a lot of YA. During the course of this conversation I came to a realization - 99% of my book boyfriends are magical and IMMORTAL! Even though they're in YA books, they're all old as dirt. Hurray for being unproblematic! This week I'm including six of my favorites using fan art by some incredible artists who I'll be linking for each one. (I may have a type I dunno.)Darkling | Shadow and Bone | JoaellaineCasteel | From Blood and Ash | Dominique WessonRhysand...

Weekly Recap: 1/31 - 2/6

HAPPENINGS OFF THE BLOGHi, everyone! This has been a lazy posting week, but I've managed to read quite a bit. It has been an insanely weird reading year so far. I've read mostly adult fantasy romance and who even am I? I am currently listening to an adult CONTEMPORARY romance. I'm glad I took "mostly YA" out of my blog header, because I don't even know what's happening anymore. In other news, I'm on Invisalign week four (out of at least 62) and the pain part of it is mostly gone, or at least I'm used to it. Now it's all dry lips and annoyance at having to eat on a schedule. I'm already ready for the next two years to be up. XD NEW BOOKS...
