Hello everyone and welcome to my brand new book blog! This is my very first Follow Friday! Reading YA, urban fantasy, and paranormal romance is a passion of mine and on this blog I will post my reviews and hopefully discuss books with all of you! Happy hopping!
What do you do besides reading / reviewing as a hobby?
Between work, reading and reviewing, and making time to be with those I love, it's really hard to find time to do other stuff! I do, however, love to bake and I'm trying to learn how to cook. My favorite dessert to bake is cookies and this Christmas I plan to make at least four of five different batches of some of my more popular recipes! I find cooking to be much more difficult than baking because I have zero instinct when it comes to knowing what ingredients to use and what spices to add! I also enjoy crafts, but haven't had any time recently to make anything. For awhile though I was decorating picture frames :o)
"What very popular and hyped book in the blogosphere did you NOT enjoy and how did you feel about posting your review?"
I really did not enjoy Halo by Alexandra Adornetto! At 500 pages one would think that after the 100 page mark, something, ANYTHING, would have happened, but the only thing that I learned within the first 100 pages of this book was that for inexplicable reasons the main character is in love with a teenage boy that attends her school. I didn't write a review for Halo because I couldn't finish it.
Hopping through! New follower!
ReplyDeleteI love baking. What's you fav Xmas cookie recipe? I love pecan tassies and Mexican wedding cakes.

Hey! Just stopping by for FF; I'm your newest follower! Mmm cookies! LOL I can't cook worth crap but I'm not a bad baker. Maybe because I like eating the end results better? Happy weekend!

ReplyDeleteThanks for hopping by! Yeah, I struggled to get through Beautiful Creatures but made myself finish LOL. I got Halo out from the library, and read the first couple chapters, but it did not hook me, and I'd read so many reviews rating it as fairly mediocre/poorly that I just didn't keep going.
ReplyDeleteYou're not the only one who has mentioned this book. I think I'm definitely going to give it a miss.
ReplyDeletePs following you.
