Tag Tuesday – Mid Year Book Freak Out Tag

Hello, wonderlandians. It’s July. Where has this year gone? I have a great tag for you today.

Got the questions from YA Bookaholic though it looks like they have not posted for a good two years. Although, I have been seeing this all over booktube and the blogs. So I wanted to give it a try. Plus I know it July. Don’t yell at me.

1. Best Book You’ve Read So Far in 2018?

I am stuck between two books.

King of Wall Street

THE KING OF WALL STREET IS BROUGHT TO HIS KNEES BY AN AMBITIOUS BOMBSHELL.

I keep my two worlds separate.

At work, I’m King of Wall Street. The heaviest hitters in Manhattan come to me to make money. They do whatever I say because I’m always right. I’m shrewd. Exacting. Some say ruthless.

At home, I’m a single dad trying to keep his fourteen year old daughter a kid for as long as possible. If my daughter does what I say, somewhere there’s a snowball surviving in hell. And nothing I say is ever right.

When Harper Jayne starts as a junior researcher at my firm, the barriers between my worlds begin to dissolve. She’s the most infuriating woman I’ve ever worked with.

I don’t like the way she bends over the photocopier—it makes my mouth water.

I hate the way she’s so eager to do a good job—it makes my dick twitch.

And I can’t stand the way she wears her hair up exposing her long neck. It makes me want to strip her naked, bend her over my desk and trail my tongue all over her body.

If my two worlds are going to collide, Harper Jayne will have to learn that I don’t just rule the boardroom. I’m in charge of the bedroom, too.

The King of Wall Street is a sexy, stand alone, contemporary romance.

Dragon's Lair (Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club Book 1) by [Fernando, Chantal]

The first in a new sexy romance series from bestselling author Chantal Fernando about the bad boys of the Wind Dragons Motorcycle Club and the women who fall in love with them.

When I found my boyfriend cheating on me, I did something stupid.

Or should I say, someone?

Because of that mistake, I’m now stuck in a world I don’t belong in.

I’m a law student. They’re criminals. He’s the vice president of a motorcycle club. I’m a good girl with a strict upbringing. He’s my ex-boyfriend’s brother.

And I’m screwed.

Dragon’s Lair. Which I do have review for.

I would really recommend the book if you like bad-ass biker men. Check out my reveiw for more information and my thoughts on the whole book. Plus let me know what you think if you have already read the book.

2. Best Sequel You’ve Read So Far in 2018?

Gabriel’s Rapture.

National bestselling author Sylvain Reynard continues the story of Gabriel and Julia, two lovers bound together by their darkest desires.

But those very desires may destroy them . . .

Professor Gabriel Emerson has embarked on a passionate, yet clandestine affair with his former student Julia Mitchell. Sequestered on a romantic holiday in Italy, he tutors her in the sensual delights of the body and the raptures of sex.

But when they return, their happiness is threatened by conspiring students, academic politics, and a jealous ex-lover. When Gabriel is confronted by the university administration, will he succumb to Dante’s fate? Or will he fight to keep Julia, his Beatrice, forever?

In Gabriel’s Rapture, the brilliant sequel to the wildly successful debut novel, Gabriel’s Inferno, Sylvain Reynard weaves an exquisite love story that will touch the reader’s mind, body, and soul, forever.

3. New Release You Haven’t Read Yet, But Want To?

There have not been any new releases out that I have wanted to get.

4. Most Anticipated Release For Second Half of 2018?

Coming out at the end of this month it is called Sea Witch. It’s kind of a little mermaid retelling.

5. Biggest Disappointment?

It is called Gun Shy I have a review on it.

6. Biggest Surprise?

I got to me Richelle Mead this year that was amazing. Drove 5 1/2 hours to see her.

7. Favourite New Author?

Her name is Kristy Nicolle. I don’t have just favorite authors. I have what I call my ride or die authors. Anything they write I will read. She has become one of those authors for me.

8. Newest Fictional Crush?

Xion from The Onyx Hourglass by Kristy Nicolle.

9. Newest Favourite Character?

Not sure I have read so many good one this year.

I have not had a book that has made me cry this year.

Most every book makes me happy.

Book Tag – Inside & Out

Hello, wonderlandians. How was your Tuesday? I will be sleeping when this post goes up so mind starting out great because I’ll be asleep. Then I have to wake up and go to work. Wouldn’t it be great if blogging could be a full-time job? I think it would be great because then that way I can dedicate most of my day to making awesome content. I know the Driven review that I did took me about two days to do because one my computer is still not with me. Then I also have limited time throughout the day. So I was working on that specific blog post for the time allotted in my day.

Honestly this lot is always on my mind and I’m always thinking of better ways that I can do things in terms of formatting reviews and all that stuff. So this is like a full-time job but I have like a real full-time job. I don’t know I guess this is a long exclamation to I would really like Paul going to be like my job. Because it doesn’t feel like work it’s just fun. And You guys make this super fun to do.

Today is tag prompt comes to us from Lost in Pages .

1. Inside flap/Back of the book summaries: Too much info? Or not enough

I find that I like the book summaries to be on the back of the book. If the summary is on the inside flap I don’t tend to read them and just buy the book based on the cover. But to be truthful I don’t buy a ton of physical copies of books. The physical copies that I do have are pretty much a box that I’ve already read and want to have the physical copy.

2. New book: What form do you want it in? Be honest: Audiobook, E-Book, Paperback, or Hardcover?

For a new book go for two different formats I typically tend to go for audiobook or E-Book. Some new books in the e-book format don’t have audiobooks attached to them. So I will go for that format. If the book does come with an audio that I will pick up both because I find the audio is cheaper if you get the e-book.

3. Scribble while you read? Do you like to write in your books, take notes, make comments, or do you keep your books clean clean clean?

When it comes to a physical copy of a book I do not like to deface it. This is my personal opinion I do not like writing in my book. So I like to keep it clean. But I do like to annotate with sticky notes. When it comes to my e-book copies I actually highlight passages because I like the way that it looks. So in e-books yes I will highlight make notes in little notes section and that’s what I like.

4. Does it matter to you whether the author is male or female when you’re deciding on a book? What if you’re unsure of the author’s gender?

Honestly no it doesn’t bug me if the other is male or female. Typically when I go and look at a book I’m not looking at who the author is until after I read the book. So what grabs my attention is the cover and the synopsis of the book. The only time that matters is when I’m doing a review of a book because I want to give that author specific credit. But if I don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl I will just typically say the author or I will put the full name of the author. But whether it goes to the story writing no it doesn’t matter because I found either you’re a good writer or you’re a bad writer and it really doesn’t matter what sex you are.

5. Ever read ahead? or have you ever read the last page way before you got there?

Sadly, yes I do read ahead in my books. It’s not that I’m trying to spoil myself it’s that if I’m at a particular scene that is slow I wanted to know when some exciting parts are going to be happening so that way I can determine if I want to keep with the book or not.

6. Organized bookshelves, or outrageous bookshelves?

Just re-organized my bookshelf so as of right now and organized bookshelf. Once I get more books then it will be an outrageous bookshelf.

7. Have you ever bought a book based on the cover (alone)?

Yes, I do. Now I try to go by the method of if the synopsis grabs me or not. If it doesn’t then I don’t get the box even if the cover is really beautiful.

8. Take it outside to read, or stay in?

I like both.Thank you all for joining me here in our little part of wonderland. Please do not forget to feed the unicorns on your way out.

Until next time

Much love

Madness Monday – The Rising Author Tag

Hello, wonderlandians. Happy Monday! I am doing a tag today. I had no idea what I wanted to post. So you guys are getting two different tags this week. I don’t call this Madness Monday for nothing.

Image result for madness gif

Got this awesome tag idea from Lost in a Story. Go show her some love on her blog. It’s amazing.

As you guys know I am working on Project Odette. I’m very sorta hush hush about this project. Reason being is that this story is very close to my heart. It needs to be done in the right way. I feel like taking about it to soon will jinx me.

What is your current WIP about, and what’s its status? (ie. plotting, writing, editing, etc.)

Project Odette is about OCD and the struggles of living with it. I’m still writing and editing the stage.

Do you plot things out and/or outline, or just figure it out as you write?

With this project I have somewhat outlined. I have a list of all the chapters that I want to write about, but that is as far as it goes.

What are some book ideas you want to write in the future?

I would love to write a story about some Irish folklore. I have one in the process about mermaid and witches.

Out of the characters you’ve written so far, who are your favorites?

I have written some awesome characters that I have loved. The one that stands out to me is Max. I love him so much. He is protective over his sisters. He is the funniest character that I have ever written. He wields the element of earth. So when he gets in trouble or he forgets his sisters birthday he will show up with a diamond to make up for

What’s your writing routine, if any? (ie. snacks, music, time of day, location, etc.)

I usually am listening to a playlist that I have put together. I can write at anytime of the of the day. My everyday life is pretty busy. I work two jobs. So when I get the time is when I write.

Show your WIP’s aesthetic in images or words (or both)!

Related image

Image result for OCD

Related image

What (or who) motivates you to write?

This story was motivated by the fact there are not enough stories about people and OCD.

What do you find is the easiest part about writing? The hardest?

I find that the easiest thing about writing is that once I have really good story idea I go in on it at full force. The hardest is writers block and never finishing the stories that I have started.

What genre will you never try, and why?

Contemporary. I don’t really read it.

Share a tiny (or large) snippet/excerpt of your writing, if you’re comfortable!

When I look at my childhood I see two very different scene play out before me.

Tag Tuesday – Book Blog Newbie

Hello, wonderlandians. It’s Tuesday. Hope you guys are having a great day and that it is a super productive one. I feel like yesterday it was a great start to the week I was super productive at work I am getting back into the whole blogging everyday thing I’m so excited about that. This blog is one of the greatest joys I have in my life right now. I absolutely love the little community and family that we’ve created here. I am also starting to vlog again. Nothing has been uploaded to any of my YouTube pages. So here’s my question do you guys watch reading blogs and if you do I do have a reading Channel a bookkeeping Channel called Ashten Healy.I really just want to blog I think it is a really fun Pastime but my question is is it do you guys watch blogs and he saying that have to do with reading or writing? If you do please let me know because I want to start doing it but I don’t know if I should create another channel that has something to do with this blog. At the same time, my Twitter handle have to do with my YouTube channel. I don’t know about.

As you guys know I really like doing tags I think it is a great way to get to know the person behind the blog you guys know every Tuesday I dedicated to doing some kind of tags so you guys can get to know me better. So if you guys want to do this tag please let me know and then tag me in it so I can see what you guys have written. I want to get to know my fellow bloggers in this wonderful community that all of us are creating and let’s just Help each other out and we can all grow as a community. Let’s get out of this questions.

1. Why did you start this blog?

This is an awesome question I started blogging because I have a YouTube channel that I would do reviews on books I would you block calls and all this other stuff. But the filming and the editing just became too much for me and I really lost my love of it. I feel like when I’m blogging I have time to really collect my thoughts and it’s I’m not going to say it’s easier because I put so much time and energy into this blog.It’s just a different way that I can connect with people and I feel like I am connecting with people on a deeper level with book. I am part of some fantastic blogging groups I don’t know if there are any groups for people who are on YouTube who talks about books I haven’t done that much research into it. For right now I’m quite happy where I am with my blog and I’m so excited to just grow this blog and just continue the conversations I have about books with people.

My fiance’s mother loves to read and she had told me that she was so happy that I bought the love of reading to her again. She is a super busy woman who didn’t really have time to read and one of her favorite movies is Twilight she has seen those movies at least five or six times. But she told me she never read the book so for Christmas, I got her the very first book in Twilight and within 4 days she read the entire and Now I and her are constantly giving each other recommendations for books. It’s awesome his little sister also loves to read so she keeps the last her mom keeps the list that I keep a list of books all the stuff that we’ve had so far this year and it’s pretty and stay in to see between the three of us how much we have read this year so far.

2. What are some fun and unique things you can bring to book blogging?

I feel like every person has a very unique an individual voice when it comes to blogging. I know what I first was starting Allah. I was kind of mimicking the voice of some of my favorite bloggers and finally I it was really comfortable and it just clicks and my blog is just an extension of how I talk in real life so I hope it comes across as goofy and as zany as I have in real life. I do talk about some pretty serious stuff on this blog when it comes to mental illness because I also have Obsessive-compulsive disorder so I tried to talk about that aspect of my life and try to help other people just to let them know that they’re not alone. I am also currently in the middle of finishing my first novel at least the first draft at least and I talked about that on this blog as well. So I think just being me that’s completely unique and different to the blogging world.

3. What are you most excited for about this new blog?

Well, I have been blogging for about 4 months now and everything about this Blog has me super excited. The one thing I would really like to do more of is review books I feel that in the last month or so I really slacked on reading I just got out of a horrible reading slump and now I’ve got like five books on in the middle of that I just want to finish but I can’t so there’s that I’m just excited about everything and I really can’t wait to grow and expand I’ve grown so much it with blog in the last 4 months that it’s insane to me that anybody would want to read what I’m writing. So I think it’s my mind is blown every time I open up my blog.

4. Why do you love reading?

I love reading because it really came to me at a time where I needed an escape from reality and how I did that was through Reading. As I mentioned before I have OCD so for me living vicariously through someone else for a little while is a great break from my reality. So when I’m stressed or whatever I can jump into a first-person narration and I become that character.

5. What book or series got you into reading?

Okay, the book series that got me hardcore into reading was called the what if series I have talked about it many times on this blog before. It is a choose your own destiny book series where you got one chapter that sets up the rest of the book and then when she gets the end of that chapter it summarizes what happened and then you get to pick what page you get to go to next. For me it turned reading into a game and then from there we got me super into I would start reading Twilight and then that just band my love vampire novels. then I found the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead and I haven’t looked back.

6. What questions would you ask your favorite authors?

If I could ask my favorite author one thing is will you please please please please write a frostbites 10th-anniversary edition. I need the entire Vampire Academy series with Anniversary Edition. Also, will you be my best friend? What other projects do you have coming up?

7 What challenges do you think starting a blog will be the hardest to overcome?

I really think the hardest part about starting a blog is just starting. Don’t question anything just do it I know that is like the simplest advice somebody can give you when I started my YouTube channel I had a lot of reasons not to start it and I don’t regret starting my channel I’ve had my channel for about 6 years and while I have a 103 subscribers those people tuned in and watch what I do. I knew I needed to take a break from the YouTube the scene because my channel wasn’t moving forward and I felt very discouraged so I thought I would try my hand at blogging and what do you know I found something I love a little bit better than YouTube. The one thing I do like about YouTube has I missed vlogging. Vlogging that I could just turn the camera on and I didn’t need to be made up I didn’t need fancy lights I can do it right from my phone and while I do have some really nice cameras due to I went to school for photography. It can be a lot it to set those cameras up.

8. When did you start reading?

I started reading at about 15 for fun.

9. Where do you read?

I don’t have a specific place that I read I typically tend to read wherever I am. But if I had to choose my favorite place in the world it would be my bed. When I get a bigger house I do plan on having a library in that house with a comfortable chair and lots of comfortable pillows so hopefully that will be like my favorite place.

10. What kind of books do you like to read?

Anything that has to do with the supernatural or the Paranormal genre. I have gotten into erotica within the last couple of years so I always put a disclaimer if you guys are not over the age of 17 I really don’t recommend any of that kind of books. I’m iffy with the age of 16 I mean if your parents are okay with you more specifically I’d like to talk to your mom. I know if I were 16 and I wanted to read these kinds of books I don’t know I’d talk to like my mom or something actually I would have talked my Mom at Sixteen if I wanted to read the books because she would have been the one paying for them. Unless got free books off Amazon which is what I do a lot or the books are like $0.99.

I prefer to reading my bed. It’s my favorite spot in the whole house. Now if I am on vacation then I find the spot where ever I am at.
