Top 10 Tuesday: 2016
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It’s a fun way for bloggers all over the Internet to connect and post the things they love about books. This week was supposed to be about the books we are most excited to see published in the first half of 2016, but I just did a post just like that. So I’m going to post about the books I’m most excited to read in 2016 that I already own! Let’s go! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell 2. The Love Affairs of Nathaniel P by Adelle Waldman 3.

That being said, here is a list of resolutions for book nerds such as myself. #1 and #4 are definitely on my list, but I’m not sure if I can stick to it! Happy reading, Kimberly
Book Haul: Christmas Edition
Hello friends! I hope every one has had an amazing holiday, regardless of what you celebrate or even if you celebrate at all! This time of year is perfect from spending time with family and books. I normally wouldn’t post anything about presents I’ve received, but I got so many books this year that I simply had to share with you all this amazing book haul! (Side note: This is in no way me bragging about anything I promise! And if you feel like it’s braggy at all, just click the little x in the right hand corner of your screen!) Books My wonderful mother and father showered me in…
Merry Christmas! (And happy holidays!)
To everyone that celebrate, Merry Christmas! And to those who don’t, happy Friday! I hope every one has had a merry day. In lieu of posting my regular review on this fabulous Friday, I want to remind every one to treasure the time they have with their families today and take joy in the simple pleasures life brings us every day. We shouldn’t need a holiday to remind us to be thankful for the little things in life. So take a break today from the hustle and bustle of life and appreciate the family and friends you have all around you. Merry Christmas and happy reading, Kimberly
Top 5 Wednesday: Series I Want to Start
Christmas is THREE days away! And with that only nine days until the new year! With that being said, this week’s Top 5 Wednesday is dedicated to the series I want to tackle in 2016. Let’s get started! 1. Game of Thrones I’ve been hesitant to start these since I know they aren’t done yet, but I think 2016 is the year for me to finally get into this book, as well as the TV series. (I’m thinking of binge watching it in January.) 2. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy I have the entire series compiled into one book and looking at it is actually terrifying. It’s quite the…
Top 10 Tuesday: Santa Can You Hear Me?
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It’s a fun way for bloggers all over the Internet to connect and post the things they love about books. It is the eve of the eve of the eve of Christmas (that means Christmas is three days away!), so I’m here to tell you about the books I hope I can find under the Christmas tree this year. 1. Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham It finally came out in paperback, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I’ve heard SO much about it since it came out and have wanted to…

The Book Thief: A Review
Title: The Book Thief Author: Markus Zusak Genre: Young Adult Fiction Quotation: “I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.” Would recommend to: anyone. I know, I know. I finally read “The Book Thief.” And here’s what I think: 1. Death is compassionate. If you don’t already know, this book is told from the perspective of Death during World War II. It’s an interesting stance to take during a time when death was so prevalent. It made the war that much more heartbreaking. I loved this perspective because it’s something you can never truly know but can only imagine – and that’s what books are for.…
Top 5 Wednesday: Reading by the Fire
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! That means curling up next to the fire (whether it be real or digital) with the best books and passing the time in the only acceptable way before the craziness of the holidays. This week is dedicated to those books that are perfect for reading on a cold, winter day. 1. The Favorite This is the most acceptable time to pick up that book people are always surprised you are re-reading. It’s your favorite. The one with the dog-eared pages, crinkled spine, and well-worn cover. You’ve read it so many times, you know it by heart. Yet you still love it and…
