For some reason... This song makes me think of the Shatter Me books.

I've been busy at work again. I think I have finally come up with a rating system.

Isn't it cute? =) I'm off to go work on other things now. Thanks for reading.

Rant/Stacking the Shelves (3)

I am having an extremely stressful day. It started out great! My fiance got me flowers:

 

 Tiger Lily's are my favorite. They are wild flowers so they are pretty hard to find.

 AND I got a really cute booklight! Its freakin' awesome!

Then he took me to 2nd and Charles again so I could sell some books and games. I got a whopping $124 in store credit. I was sooo happy. I bought some more books with that money and I also got my fiance 4 vintage Star Wars figures for his collection. Then we went to Microcenter so he could buy his new motherboard.  Then we went to eat at Red Robin, went to Barnes and Noble to get a copy of The Testing, they were sadly sold out, and then we went home. I then got online to pay one of our credit card bills and come to find out they returned my last payment that I made a month ago and didn't bother telling me so now I have fees fees fees. I tried contacting them only to find out that they are nothing more than a scam company hell bent on destroying peoples credit. I have since written my states attorney general and the BBB(better business bureau) in hopes for some help in cancelling my card and getting rid of this scamming company. Everyone stay clear of Credit One Bank. There are so many complaints about them online and they will ruin your life.

But on a better note. I am going to post the books I have gotten. I haven't spent a penny on them because I have A LOT of store credit =)

OMG OMG OMG!!! You guys remember the hermit crab that got out of the cage THREE weeks ago? Well.. we found her! ALIVE! I kicked her across the bathroom and I was like what the heck was that? I turned round and see this little Hello Kitty shell. I said to myself, she is definitely dead =(. I picked her up and she jumped at me! I am soooo excited. Sorry, I just needed to post that. I got some new books today I will post about later. Thanks for listening to me =P

Hello again! I just had someone ask me a few questions and I'd like to take the time to answer them as best as I can.

The first question was "Wow, you sure get a lot of books. Where do you get all of them from?"

Well, most of the books I own, I have bought. I'm willing to say that about 1/5th of them came from Paperbackswap. Another 2/5ths came from 2nd and Charles. And the other 2/5th came from Barnes & Noble, Borders or other Book retail shops. A few have come from Goodwills/thrift stores. Some have come from friends. They have just accumulated over the years.

The second question was "How do you get copies of books before they come out?"

I honestly can say that if you want to start a blog, don't go looking for ARC's immediately. It will make it seem like you only want free books and no one wants to give away free stuff unless you actually show REAL interest in what you do.

The majority of the ARC's I have gotten have been from NetGalley. I am not well established enough in the blogging community to have received that many actual physical copies of ARC's and that is fine with me because I blog because I love to read. NOT because I want free this and free that. If that was the case I would just go to the library. Receiving and ARC is a huge privilege and honor and it should be treated as such.

So, to answer the question, you can get ARC's by contacting publishers, authors, Goodreads, etc.

And the last question was "Is a blog hard work?"

Yes and no. I enjoy what I do. It is hard work keeping up with updates and reviews and followers but, to me, it's entirely worth it. Just make sure you can put in the time before you start a blog. Since I work at home basically, I always have time to read/write.

Thank you for your questions and I hope my answers have helped you out!

I JUST finished Unravel Me. Literally about 10 minutes ago. And I tried to go to sleep after finishing it but I just laid here thinking about the book. I'm praying to the book Gods that there is going to be a third book. I NEEEEEEEED to know who Juliette ends up with. Anyways, here is my review(as I sit here dying because I need answers).

Unravel Me
Tahereh Mafi

REVIEW:
WHOA. I'm not even sure where to begin. Team Adam? Team Warner? By the end of the book, shockingly, I was Team Warner. It took me a little while to get into this book. Mainly because of how whiny and self consumed Juliette was. Everything was about her her her. Boy did she get the shock of her life, along with a much needed wake up call, when Kenji and Castle opened up her pretty green/blue eyes to the fact that she was just one person among millions. One tiny, whiny, little girl who needed to grow up and stop feeling sorry for herself.

I know there have been a lot of bad reviews for this series but I honestly can't see why. I mean, yes, the authors way of repeating words and crossing others out is a bit out there but she's UNIQUE. Has anyone ever heard of that word? Because I'm starting to think everyone wants all authors to be like J. K. Rowling, Stephenie Myers and dare I say Nora Roberts.

I've never had so much emotional attachment to a book before. Probably around the middle of the book I started to feel every emotion Juliette felt. I was confused when she was confused and I was upset when she was upset.

Normally you can get a feel for most book and you can sort of predict the events that are going to happen. Not with this book. I was in shock for almost the entire duration of reading. I don't want to say it was an emotional roller coaster but it was definitely a theme park ride of some nature. I am slightly angry about the way it ended. Who does she pick? What happens to Anderson? What happened to Adam? Kenji? All of the read of the people from Omega Point? I'm just seriously hoping that there is going to be a third book. And, honestly, I don't know how I'm going to move on from this book. I have so many unanswered questions floating through my head and I want answers... NOW!
Overall, I give the book 5/5 stars.
