‘’winter is the perfect season to read some big books”

Everywhere around me I see people making seasonal TBR’s so me being me I want to try it too. But it wouldn’t be me If I changed it a little bit right? So I’m making a seasonal Winter TBR with the theme BIG BOOKS.

To be extra ambitious I choose 10 big books to read this Winter!

Let’s see if I can stick with this.



1, 2 & 3 Illuminae, Gemina & Obsidio
A year ago I read the first t books and never got around to read the third one. So I guess it’s time to FINALLY finish the Illuminae files series.



4, 5 & 6 a Discovery of witches, Shadow of night & Book of life
In 2018 I read a Discovery of witches and I LOVED IT! But Then That Thing Happened Where I Never Read The Rest Of The Series… let’s change that!



7. Traitor to the throne
Not long ago I read Rebel of the sands and I really LOVED it so I couldn’t wait to pick up the second book. So here it is on this beautiful TBR list.



8. children of blood and bone
The reason for this one? I’m just ALWAYS late when it comes to hyped books.



9. house of the night 1 & 2
I have a bind up of the first two books that’s why it is so huge. This one has been on my shelf for what feels like forever. I just want to get it of that shelf to be honest



10. this monstrous thing
Okay, I know that this isn’t a big book. But I still really want to read it. So let’s just pretend that this is a huge book okay? OKAY?

FEEL THE FEAR! * scary music playing

There are many things that bookworms are afraid of. Okay, so non-bookworms may be rolling their eyes at me right now, but book addicts like myself have plenty of fears.

Today I’m going to share with you 5 of the biggest bookworms fears.

1. Spilling your tea over your book. Blow dryers are your best friends guys! GET THAT BOOK DRY! unless you were using an e-reader… well then you are SCREWED.

2. losing your place. Some bookmarks are strong, others are slippery, and sometimes if you are like me you just drop your book because you are clumsy.

3. Cover change. HOW THE HELL IS THIS LEGAL?!?!

4. ANYONE interrupting your reading time. It's obviously a therapeutic time of your day and anyone who doesn't understand that obviously wants the world to burn. WHEN MY BOOK IS OPEN YOUR MOUTH IS CLOSED!

5. Your favorite character dies. you'll never crawl out of the deepest pits of despair over the death of your favorite character. How are you expected to recover from something so real and painful?

 

what are your biggest reading fears?
Let me know in the comments!

Being a bookworm is hard…
Bookworms face a ton of struggles as we all know. But do you realize just how many decisions we’re forced to make ALL THE TIME as well?!? So much. So many. Today I’m going to hit you with a small list of all the decisions we have to make.

1. What book to buy next or do you borrow it from the library?!? SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM

2. what edition do you buy? Hardcover, paperback or maybe a audiobook?!? And with that comes what cover edition do you want.. THE STRUGGLE!

3. The horror of choosing what to read next… SO MANY BOOKS!

4. What star rating are you going to give it? Are you going to review it?

5. the hardest question of them all… WHERE DOES IT FIT ON YOUR SHELVES?!?

6. Are you going to reread the book? Or is it a onetime read?

Let me know in the comments what you think is the hardest decision to make.

With winter just around the corner it is time get a cozy blanket and a hot cup of tea. There is only one thing missing… A BOOK. Today I am going to give you a list of 5 books to read during the winter.( you know I love making lists!)

1. Harry potter
I personally love to read Harry Potter when it is winter. The book are so cozy and give me such a happy feeling.

2. Lunar chronicles
What is better than a fairytale retelling on a cold day?

3. The shining
Most people would say that this fits better in fall. But me? No I think it fits perfect in winter because of the setting. I mean empty hotel on a hill covered in snow… what else do you want ?

4. uprooted
This book just has that magical feeling that you are looking for in December!

5. Shiver
I don’t think you can legally make a list of  books about winter without talking about Stiefvater’s The Wolves of Mercy Falls series. I think you get sent to book jail.

For as long as I can remember I always had that mind set of a book has to stay perfect. Using sticky notes or even write in books was a crime in my mind. But lately I saw a lot of people annotating their books,  And I thought to myself; my, how gorgeous do they look! It’s obvious the person who’s read it must have obviously enjoyed it! And it also seemed so handy for writing reviews. And in that moment I thought why can’t I do it? A book doesn’t have to stay perfect, a book should look like it has been read!
So I annotate my books now.
Okay, hang on, before you get all “OMG monster!! Satan!!!! I bet you dog ear your pages, too!!!”, let’s take a deep breath and calm down.
Let me explain.
First of all I do not dog ear my pages! ( I did do it when I was younger tho..) I hate doing it and since I have lots of bookmarks I do not see the point. Also I do not write in my books. But I do have a notebook where I write my thoughts of the books I am reading.
Writing in a book can be very useful but since there isn’t a lot of space to write I use sticky notes and just stick them in the page.( I just can’t seem to write small haha)
Like I mentioned earlier I use a note book to get my thoughts out. In there I write things like quotes that really got me or I write something like the story is going slow. This really helps me with writing reviews. I just have to grab my note book and I can start typing.
Beside the note book I also use tabs. Every tab color means something:
Pink = something that love
Yellow = something funny or something  that made me laugh/smile
Blue = something sad
Green = something that got me by surprise or something I don’t know how to feel about
Orange = Quotes
Do I annotate my books in an extreme way? No. But I like doing it.
In the past I could get so paranoid if something happened to my book. I could be sad and angry about it all day. And now that I think of it, it’s all a little extreme. I love books, and I have fun when I read, but it’s not fun being so paranoid about my books not being perfect that I get nervous bringing them places.
I am very happy that I made this decision! I really enjoy reading more now. And with that being said, it’s time to find a cozy spot and read!

1. Are there any books you started this year you need to finish?

Not really, mostly I always finish the book that I started.

2. Do you have an autumnal book to transition to the end of the year?

I didn’t make a seasonal TBR this year. But the book I’m going with is This monstrous thing.

3. Is there a new release you’re still waiting for?

Not for this year.

4. What are three books you want to read before the end of the year?

Can I only choose 3?!? Okay, let’s stick to the rules for once. I hope to read Wonder , This monstrous thing and Gathering darkness before the end of the year.

See I can stick to the rules.

5. Is there a book that you think could still shock you and become your FAVORITE???

That’s hard to say.. I don’t really look at a book and think OMG THIS BOOKS IS GOING TO BE EVERYTHING! So to be honest I really don’t know.


6. Have you already made reading plans for 2019?

HELL YES!!

Some of my reading goals for 2019 are:
Complete 5 series
Read a different genre
Read 90 books

I will make a whole different post about my reading goals for 2019.

It’s December already, time flies guys! Which also means we’re closer to Christmas, yay!

My reading plans for December aren’t very big (at least for me). The reason for this? Well I am rereading Harry potter!! Even though I am rereading Harry Potter I still want to read other books as well (okay maybe this TBR is getting big after all).

I really hope that I can reread harry potter this year since last year I failed at it. DON’T JUDGE ME!

The book I want  to read in December:

The Harry Potter series
To kill a kingdom
This monstrous thing
Destined for an early grave

What are your reading plans for December?
