#1. Frostbeard Booklover Soy Scented Candles Rainy Day Reads I adore these candles. Lighting one up while you're reading your favorite book can really wake your senses. From “Rainy Day Reads” that smells like fresh rain, ginger, and lavender (yum), to “Sherlock’s Study”, I feel like they smell like you would imagine they smell in your head so it really helps to take you to that place when you're reading.  #2. “I’m Not A Bookworm, I’m A Book Dragon” Mug I'm Not A Bookworm Seriously, anyone want to buy this for me?

Review: Hunted by Meagan Spooner

Image
Hunted By Meagan Spooner Buy Here Out of all of the Disney movies I have grown up with, the story of Beauty and the Beast was always my favorite. The tale of Belle, a beautiful and unique girl who loved to read and wanted something more for herself and Prince Adam, the beast who had to learn how to love and be loved always made me believe that everything was possible and you don’t have to be like anyone else to be happy. So like I said, I love this classic fairytale, so when I saw this at the bookstore, I knew that it would be something that I had to take home. This is the first book I read by this author and I have to say, I can’t wait to read other things from this author. ~Thoughts~ The story begins with Yeva, a merchant’s daughter, who is living her life day by day doing what she’s supposed to do. Being the perfect lady, part of upper society, is what Yeva should be striving for because that’s what her family wants, even though deep down, sh...

Buy It Now The Edinburgh Seer written by Alisha Klapheke was a really good read for me. I read it in a day because right when I started it, I could not put it down for the life of me. I personally LOVED the theme of the book and I thought it was such an original concept. Aini is a beautiful, intelligent, naΓ―ve sort of girl that works and lives with her father who is a candy maker and scientist. Her father is abducted and it’s up to Aini and her three friends, who also work for her father, to figure out why they captured him and how they will get him back home safe and sound. Her father’s apprentice, who is also one of her friends, and someone very important in her life has many secrets that start coming out when she asks for his help in finding her father. The sweets that her father invented have been altered with different things to give people certain abilities when they eat it. Some can change your moods, heighten your senses, and even make you lose gravity. This skill i...

Book Review: Awakened by Brenda K. Davies

Image
Book #1 in the Vampire Awakenings Series Download Here Author: Brenda K. Davies So let me start off by telling you guys how I came across this book. So, about two years ago, I actually found it when I was scrolling through the free book section on my Kindle app. I'm so glad I found it because honestly, I've read it about 8 times already, and it's always one of my go- to books if I feel like reading but I'm not emotionally ready to start a new book. ~ Thoughts~ I loved this book SO MUCH . I know I say that about every book I review, but I honestly love Awakened. The love and protectiveness that Liam and Sara have for each other is beautiful. My only critique I have of this book is the subject of vampires and mates, but I can't actually explain this without giving too much away. Sara as a character is not very solid. Her main focus was school but when she meets Liam she just completely forgets about her goals, which doesn't really sit well with me. ...
