Projects I’ve Been Working On!
Hey guys!
Today I’m going to be sharing with you a few project I’ve been working on!
First, I wanted to share that I created a bookish collab blog with seven other awesome book bloggers! Many of them you will probably realize from the comment section of many of my blog posts!
Here’s the site, so you can check it out! It officially starts on the first Monday in April: The Bookish People!
Second, I wanted to tell you that I am participating in the Day Zero project! Basically, you create 101 things to do in 1001 days! I’m so excited to participate in it! It’s called Alyssa In 1001 Days!
Those are all of the fun and exciting projects I’ve been working on! I encourage you to check both of this awesome sites out!
I’ll see you tommorow with a new bookish related blog post!
Good Night Book Lions!
Quick Thought #11: Why it’s REALLY IMPORTANT That You Have an About or Contact Me Page on Your Blog!
Hi everyone!
Today, I’m going to be posting a Quick Thought, of an opinion that I formed last night.
Last night (actually 2 nights ago), I created a Bookish Collab Blog! You can visit it here, but it won’t be officially starting until April 6. If you want to join for The Bookish People 2.0 (starting in September), please check it out so you can sign up: https://thebookishpeople.wordpress.com/
Anyways, I was contacting a TON of people to see if they wanted to join for the 1 run, but a lot of my favourite blogs do not have an “About” or “Contact Me” page.
First of all, I totally understand why you don’t if you don’t feel comfortable with people contacting you, but in my opinion a MAJOR part of book blogging is getting books for review, and how can people send them to you if you cannot be reached? Just a side note, social media IS NOT considered contacting.
Second, I wanted to reach a lot more people then I did, but I could not because they did not have a contact form or email address associated to many blog’s, so I could not reach them! This made me very upset because I would’ve liked to hear from a lot more, but there was no chance I could have.
There are so many AMAZING opportunity’s that you may be missing because there is no way that others can contact you. And if you do have an “About” or “Contact Me” page, then you are doing something right, and that’s for sure!
And that my friend’s, is the end to my glorious rant. I hope that you learned something, or that this was useful to you!
See you tomorrow!

Quick Thought #10: TIBF CLOSING! :(
Hi everyone.
Today, I’m going to inform you of something SUPER SAD!
Last November, I attended the INSPIRE! Toronto International Book Fair, and as most of you know, it was such a blast! Read about my experience here: https://readingreadingalldaylong.wordpress.com/2014/11/15/hi/
Sadly, they have decided not to make a 2015 version. Here is what they are saying:
I’m so dissapointed, as I had so much fun.
Although, I am aware that there are many other Toronto Book Fairs, which I’m currently researching. Here is what I’ve found so far:

Currently Reading: Hit by Delilah S. Dawson!
Hey guys,
Today I’m going to be sharing with you a book that I am currently reading, and really enjoying!
SIDE NOTE: I’m sorry if this weeks blog posts haven’t been up to par. I have had quite a few exams/tests to study for, as today is actually my first day of Spring/March Break! Get ready for some really exciting and LONG posts this week!
Anyways, let’s get started!
I am currently reading Hit by Delilah S. Dawson, which I was fortunate enough to receive an ARC for from Simon and Schuster Canada! I wanted to read Servants of The Storm by Deliah S. Dawson, but everytime I tried to pick it up, it just never really caught my attention.
But, this book so far is AMAZING! I just started tonight and am a little bit more then half way through, which means that I will be able to finish it tomorrow! YAY! I don’t want to giveaway all of my feelings, so that I have something to put in my review!
I hope you guys liked this short and sweet post! Let me know in the comments when or if you are on Spring/March Break, too! Get excited for this weeks upcoming posts!
Good Night Book Lions!
