Reviews | April 2019

April started off as a really good reading month, but ended up not being so great towards the end because that's when I went into a reading slump that I couldn't really get out of it. I spent this month trying to catch up to my Goodreads goal so I read a lot of shorter books. It would've worked out if I kept it up but unfortunately, life had other plans. But, reviews! Reviews Bossman by Vi Keeland I don't know what it was about this book that didn't do it for me. I really thought this was going to be another one of those steamy books I love, but for the most part, it was okay. I think the past vs. present story line wasn't something I really enjoyed. While I get that the author was trying to show the tragic past of the male protagonist, I felt like it was dragged on too long. It could've been told as a prologue and then I would've felt more attachment seeing his side of the story as well. I found this to be a little predictable and overall meh in the sex...

New Year, New Blog (sort of?).



            First off,

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
May 2015 shower you with blessings (aka lots of books) and joy (also meaning books)!


Now, on to the purpose of this post. New blog! Okay, not as in an actual "new" blog, but more of a reboot or restart. 2014 was...well quite frankly it was basically a failure. As I'm sure you've noticed I was absent most of this year. You came to visit the blog and crickets started sounding in the background. I could give you a ton of excuses for why, but I feel like I've done that way to much (with all my other "I promise I'm coming back" posts). Instead, I'm just going to jump right in.

Time management is one thing I am not good at. I NEED to set goals or have deadlines. If I do, I'm fine. So, cue a New Year's Resolution: to work on time management. A way to help? Keeping up this blog of course! Not to mention I've been dying to get back to it. Blogging is such a wonderful thing and I miss is dearly! But, along with getting back to blogging, I want to get back to blogging how I first started out: when it was fun. Sure I want to plan, but I also want to just kind of go along with the flow and just have fun with it which is something I believe I've lost sight of. 

So basically this post is just to let y'all know that I'm planning to reboot Oh, For the Love of Books! *cue flailing*

I think I'm going to try and freshen up the blog's look to kind of help me jumpstart (if y'all have any ideas PLEASE let me know). The first couple posts will be some recap of 2014 and looking forward to 2015. I know I'm a bit late to the race (since most other bloggers did that at the end of 2014 -- still weird to say that o_O), but I think it's a good, easy way to get back in the game. 

I can't guarantee that this won't get pushed to the wayside as it has in the past, but I can guarantee that I will try my hardest to keep this up and enjoy it.
I really missed y'all and can't wait to start talking books again! 
I hope y'all have an awesome New Years!

Love of Reading November BOTM \\ The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict

NOTE  →   I recently joined a Goodreads group in which a new book is chosen every month. I thought it would be a fun idea (for myself) to answer the discussion questions, instead of writing a review, on the book we read each month here on my blog. That way I can share my thoughts on it, but also discuss it with others across a few platforms without having to write two things. These posts may contain spoilers. Proceed with caution.  Synopsis: A vivid and mesmerizing novel about the extraordinary woman who married and worked with one of the greatest scientists in history. What secrets may have lurked in the shadows of Albert Einstein’s fame? His first wife, Mileva “Mitza” Marić, was more than the devoted mother of their three children—she was also a brilliant physicist in her own right, and her contributions to the special theory of relativity have been hotly debated for more than a century. In 1896, the extraordinarily gifted Mileva is the only woman studying physics at a...
