Losing Reading Motivation
Hi everyone!
Sorry for the late post, tomorrow’s will probably be late as well due to busy-ness with school!
Today, I’m going to be talking about losing reading motivation. I feel like as book bloggers especially, people think that all we do is READ, and that we never go into reading slumps. But, the truth is that since we run blogs/work with books, like any job it can sometimes get a little bit boring to read. Especially when books now a days are similar to everything else you have read.
It can be hard to get your motivation to read back, and if anyone understands this its ME. I haven’t been able to finish a books since August, and that always happens to me! After reading the new The Land of Stories book that comes out in the middle of July every year, I tend to not read anything else during the summer. Even though I tried to participate in the 20 Book Summer, it wasn’t motivating me enough to read.
I believe that we all have to accept the fact that we are not going to read all the time! Sometimes, taking a break from reading motivates me to read more in the future months/rest of the year.
I’d love to continue this discussion down in the comments with you about losing your reading motivation, as well as tips as how you get back to reading regularly again.

Tweets While at the BookStore
Hi everyone!
Last week, I posted “Tweets While at the Library”, and since most of you liked it, I thought I would do the same one but in a bookstore!
I hope that you guys enjoyed this post! Don’t forget to follow me on Twitter for sneak peaks on posts like this one: @readingreadingr!

Tweets While at the Library
Hi everyone!
If you didn’t know this, I’m SUPER into tweeting! Not just on my personal account, but on my bookish/blog one, too! You can follow me: @readingreadingr
Last Friday, I went to the library and some interesting things happened. I managed to tweet all of my thoughts on the situation, so I thought I would share them here, too!

Alyssa Searches Search Terms #2
Happy Labor Day!
This is a very important day for me… The last day of summer. I start school tomorrow! Who could believe it!
I thought that it would be fun to do a 2 Alyssa Searches Search Terms post, as a lot of you liked my first one!
Alyssa Searches Search Terms is a series where I will be going through my search terms (6 per post) used on my blog, and be reacting/responding to them. For a few, I may answer them correctly but for the others I will be kind of “sassy”. The search terms are not modified and are exactly as searched in the search box. This should be fun! Let’s get started!

Book Blogger Shoutouts #1
Hi everyone!
I didn’t know what to post today, so I thought I would do my first “Book Blogger Shoutouts Post”!
Today, I thought I would share with you my 2 favourite blogs/bloggers of this week! They have both been actively commenting and mentioned in/on several posts.
This girl is literally the sweetest thing ever! Her blog is amazing and the layout is perfect! She is a newbie, so definitely go follow her RIGHT NOW for amazing content! She’s also an author!
Alina has been a blogger friend of mine for a while, and she just gets sweeter and sweeter! She’s the type of blogger that will always be active on nearly every post of yours once she follows your blog! Here posts are full of detail and I always look forward to reading them!
Make sure to go show them both some love, and don’t forget to follow both of their blogs! You won’t forget it!

A little ramble about why life is beautiful :)
HI everyone!
It is currently nighttime, and I’m so full of positive energy I can’t even explain it.
After my blog hit 100 followers (we’re now at 102!), I’ve just been so happy! Probably the happiest I’ve ever been.
Life is great. People are great. Books are great. You are great. Earth is great.
I literally feel energy running through my veins.
I feel like people have good and bad days, but we all have to remember to live life to the fullest, and cherish every moment we get. And no, my blog is not about inspiration or motivation, but when I feel very happy and motivated, I love to share the feeling with everyone. Life is just such a beautiful thing, and you have to enjoy every last bit of it before it all vanishes away.
I was talking with my parent the other day (HI GUYS, I KNOW YOURE READING THIS), and I was telling them about my 3 favourite quotes at the moment…
- Some people are so poor, all they have is money.
- The difference between a successful person and a non successful person who do the same thing, is that the successful person takes all of the risks and all of the opportunities that the other has as well, but doesn’t take.
- Do one thing a day that scares you.
I think that some people need to really think about these things in life.
I know that this Sunday, I have the oppurtunity to go to HarperCollins Canada Frenzy Presents (experience and recap post will be up on Tuesday), and I’ll probably be the youngest one there and I’m nervous, but I know that if I don’t take this oppurtunity I’ll regret it for the rest of my life. Technically, this is related to quotes 2 and 3. And this amazing oppurtunity I have is all thanks to you guys! I wouldn’t be able to go to a publishing houses main office and have a meeting with 30-40 other amazing Canadian book bloggers if it wasn’t for each and every one of you. My book owls are awesome!
I hope that you guys enjoyed this little positive note.
Good Night Book Owls!
BIGGEST THANK YOU EVER!
Hi everyone!
So… We did it! I JUST reached 100 followers (like 20 minutes ago!)! I’m so happy and excited about this huge milestone! Stay tuned tomorrow for a big announcement!
Thank you to everyone who has been with me from day 1, or until now! This blog started when I first went into middle school as a hobby, and I can’t believe how many opportunities I’ve had because of it!
I’ve got to work with a bunch of companies, including Penguin, Clean Teen Publishing, Simon and Schuster, Smartling and more!
Next Sunday, I will actually be attending HCC Frenzy’s annual “Frenzy Presents”! The only way I could have ever been able to get an opportunity like that is because of my “Reading Reading Readers”! I will be posting an experience post on the Monday after the event.
So, thank you to all of you! I’m giving you the biggest possible hug I could ever give right now. I love you all more than you will ever know!
Thank you.
Good Night Book Lions!
