Confessions of a Bibliovore

I've had this problem for a long time, but I really think I hate series. My biggest issue with them? I can never finish them. I can only think of a handful of series that I've actually gotten through, which of course includes Harry Potter, The Hunger Games (which I only finished last week so it's not much to boast about,) a few romance series, etc. But there are a ton of other firsts that I've started and still haven't gotten to the second one even though it's been years ( Delirium, The Immortal Rules, Hush Hush , etc.) and even though I really want to read the rest of these series, I can't seem to get myself to pick them up. I think there are a few reasons to my whole hating series thing though. For one thing, I hate when I don't know that a book is part of a series until I am a good portion into it or done with it. That drives me crazy! I don't know how this happens, but I have a good idea that it might be because I buy so many books at once...

Hey guys! So this is just a random discussion post. Well, discussion post isn't exactly accurate seeing as I'm really just asking a question, but I'm curious: What are some of your favorite quotes from your favorite books? For one, this is somewhat of a survey to see what quotes are most important to you (for a project I may(?) be doing). Second, I just like good quotes.  In all honesty, I never write down quotes when I read and that's something I hope to remedy. I've read some brilliant books with even more brilliant sayings and always regret not writing them down. Some of them are incredibly deep and some are just downright funny. So, what's your favorite quote? Give me anything! It can be funny, romantic, charming, deep, etc. Also, this may help with me possibly reading said book in the future :) All the best ♥︎ Mackenzie 

The best way I can describe  1oo Ghosts: A Gallery of Harmless Haunts is both funny and adorable. Maybe it's just me but I couldn't find any of the ghosts anything but cute! I was laughing out loud through most of these but I was also spazzing out on how ridiculously adorable I found them as well. 100 Ghosts  is a book you can quickly look through in one sitting since it is all just images of ghosts plus their caption. I found it fun to try and guess what each ghost was named before looking at it's actual name. Definitely something fun to have on your coffee table for others to enjoy. Here are a few of the ghosts found inside this book. Can you guess which one is my favorite? :)

I've been a huge fan of Jessi over at  Novel Heartbeat  (what used to be Aunti Spinelli Reads) for a while now so when I saw that she started this new post I just had to join in! What a novel idea (hehehe). Okay, that was corny, but I'm proud of it. This weeks topic? Are you an Introvert or Extrovert?      Huh. It's actually really funny that this happened to be the topic this week because this has been the obsessive topic between me and my roommate as of late. See, we found a LOTR Meyer's-Briggs personality comparison and with us both loving LOTR (that's how our friendship started), we were obsessed. And part of this obsession had to do with the introvert/extrovert topic.       See, when most people see my roommate, they think she's an introvert because she's shy, quiet, timid and just has an all-around genteel nature. I, on the other hand, am loud, friendly, outgoing, a people-person, and sarcastic (how we became friends I'll never understa...

So I only did a two of these literary fashion posts before my unexpected hiatus, so I decided to show off a few of the sets I created from the books I have recently (ish) reviewed. I don't consider myself fashionable or anything, I just find creating these sets a lot of fun, so I decided to incorporate them into my blog along with the books I've read. This first one I created for Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren, which I read and reviewed yesterday. I am also giving away an ARC of the book, so check that out! For this set, I wanted something dark and sexy, like the cover but also professional since Chloe dresses really nice for work. Since Surface is about sirens, I wanted the outfit to match the cover, but also have some sea aspects to it. The accessories have seashells, and the heels are "mermaid" ones. The clutch is also scaley to look like maybe a mermaid tail? This one was a lot of fun to put together. For this Let the Sky Fall set, I definitely wanted to...

Title: Beautiful Bastard by Christina Lauren Series: Beautiful Bastard #1 Genre: Romance Publication: February 12, 2013 by Gallery Books Format: Paperback Source: Publisher Rating: ★★★ Synopsis: An ambitious intern. A perfectionist executive. And a whole lot of name calling. Whip-smart, hardworking, and on her way to an MBA, Chloe Mills has only one problem: her boss, Bennett Ryan. He's exacting, blunt, inconsiderate—and completely irresistible. A Beautiful Bastard. Bennett has returned to Chicago from France to take a vital role in his family's massive media business. He never expected that the assistant who'd been helping him from abroad was the gorgeous, innocently provocative—completely infuriating—creature he now has to see every day. Despite the rumors, he's never been one for a workplace hookup. But Chloe's so tempting he's willing to bend the rules—or outright smash them—if it means he can have her. All over the office. As their appetites for on...
