My Cracking Spines “Issue”

Hi everyone!

Today I’m going to be talking to you about a bookish OCD issue… Cracking Spines!

A few months ago, I made a post about not really letting people borrow my personal books! One of the main reasons is the Cracking Spines thing!

I never realized how bad this issue was until last month when I started my Wreck This Journal! The very first activity page says to crack the spine… but I just COULDN’T do it! It’s like betraying a cult (aka this blog :)). I feel like as book bloggers, or readers of one, we all have the same cracking spines “issue”!

I hope that you guys enjoyed this post! Let me know if you want to here more about my OCD Bookish “issues”, and I will be sure to chat about some more!

Conversations That Bloggers May Have about Blogging to Non-Bloggers: Friends Edition

Hi everyone!

This post is going to be part of a new, very exciting and fun monthly blog feature! It will be entitled: Conversations That Bloggers May Have about Blogging to Non-Bloggers! I thought of this idea one day in school when a friend of mine was asking me about my blog! This first post will be friends edition, because I wrote down a few of the things this particular friend said, and trust me, a few points are hilarious!


“So how did you come up with this blog?”

Well, I thought of it when I first started reading book blogs.”

“Wait, there are more of you???”

“Uh yeah…”

So how much money are you getting paid exactly?”

“None. Although, I get paid in books from publishers!”

“What a rip off!”

“But, I’m only a young teenager, why do I need to be paid at this very moment?”

“Because then you will be rich *laughter*!”

“Yeah right!”

“Why do you feel the need to read books and then make other people read your posts?”

“Because, people who are REALLY interested in books don’t mind reading a bookish blog post.”

“And, how long have you been doing this again?”

For almost a year and a half!

“No way! You must not have commitment issues.”

“Haha yeah…”


I hope that you guys enjoyed the first installment to this monthly feature! Make sure to leave me a comment, letting me know if you want to see more of these!

April Wrap-Up

Hi everyone!

Today, I’m going going to be sharing with you all of the books I read in April.

This month was not very successful as far as reading goes. I only read 2 books and one short/picture book.

The first book I read was The Wicked Will Rise by Danielle Paige. I actually posted a non-spoiler book review. You can check out my book review here.

The next book I read was In Real Life: My Journey To A Pixelated World by Joey Graceffa. I was fortunate enough to have been contacted by Simon and Schuster Canada to read and review the book. My review will be up very soon, but I did want to say that LOVED it!

The last book I read was a picture book called Maybe by Sanjay Nambiar. It was cute and I liked it!

I hope that you enjoyed this post!
