Hi everyone, Victoria here! And today I'm going to be doing the reading habits book tag! This tag was created by TheBookJazz, so thanks to her for creating this. Let's jump into the tag! 1. Do you have a certain place at home for reading? My room or my bed, I'd have to say. Even though I fall asleep sometimes while reading on my bed, it is the most comfortable place for me to read since I like to be alone while reading (for example I wouldn't read on the couch in my living room while other people are around). 2. Bookmark or a random piece of paper? Bookmark. I like to buy pretty bookmarks to hold my place or even make my own. I don't really have random pieces of paper lying around. If I need to put my book down for a minute, I will just put it faced down on my bed or something. 3. Can you just stop reading or do you have to stop after a chapter/a certain amount of pages? Stop after a chapter for sure. I have OCD about that type of thing...so I can...

Hi everyone, it's Victoria here! And today, even though we're like a week into April, I figured I would share with you my March book haul! I got a ton of books in the month of March, some that I purchased and some that I got from my library. I will be sharing all of them with you today! So...since I have a lot of books to get through, let's get started! Purchased:  The Wicked Deep by Shea Ernshaw This is one of my most anticipated releases of 2018, so I'm so glad that I got my hands on a copy! I'm very excited to read it soon! Emergency Contact by Mary H. K. Choi I got this as an ARC from my bookstore, but it's out for purchase now. I should probably get around to reviewing it soon :) The Weight of Zero by Karen Fortunati I've been recommended this by my friends multiple times, so I thought I'd get it when I saw it in paperback. I love the rainbow cover too! :) I'm hoping to read it sometime soon, but I might save it for the...

Hey everyone, Victoria here! Happy Easter (if you are celebrating)! Today I wanted to do a tag to celebrate the holiday, so I'll be doing the Easter Book Tag. This tag was created by  Rosie The Reader  so be sure to check out her original video. Let's hop (see what I did there?! Easter puns haha) right into the tag! Rabbits – A book that you wish would multiply – So a book you want a sequel to (that doesn’t have one) Such a fun and touching read, I really wish there was a sequel so we can get more from these characters! At least I don't think there will be a sequel..? Let me know in the comments if you know if there will be a sequel!  Egg – A book that surprised you I knew that I would like this book, but I didn't know I would relate to it so much! Definitely a 5 star read, be sure to check it out if you haven't read it yet.   Hunt – A book that was hard for you to get your hands on I had such a hard time finding this in pap...

Hello everyone, Victoria here! Today I'm going to be reviewing Letting Go of Gravity by Meg Leder! * I GOT THIS AS AN ARC TO REVIEW FOR MY LOCAL BOOKSTORE. ITS EXPECTED PUBLICATION IS JULY 17, 2018*  Letting Go of Gravity By: Meg Leder Rating: 3/5 stars Synopsis: " Twins Parker and Charlie are polar opposites. Where Charlie is fearless, Parker is careful. Charlie is confident while Parker aims to please. Charlie is outgoing and outspoken; Parker is introverted and reserved. And of course, there’s the one other major difference: Charlie got leukemia. Parker didn’t. But now that Charlie is officially in remission, life couldn’t be going better for Parker. She’s landed a prestigious summer internship at the hospital and is headed to Harvard in the fall to study pediatric oncology—which is why the anxiety she’s felt since her Harvard acceptance is so unsettling. And it doesn’t help that her relationship with Charlie has been on the rocks since his ...
