Hey guys!
Although, this may not be holiday related, I thought it would be fun to do the this or that tag. You can even give this tag to a friend, to see which items that they would prefer, so you can buy them something they like!
Let’s Get Started!
1. Audiobook or book in hand?
Book in hand! I can never concentrate enough when listening to an audio book!
2. Soft cover or Hardback?
Hardcover!
3. Fiction or Non-fiction?
Fiction!
4. Fantasy world or Real life issues?
Both. Fantasy world if it was like princesses/fairytale like, but not assassins. Real life issues if it was something I would be interested in, such as the holocaust!
5. Harry Potter or Twilight?
Harry Potter!
6. Kindle, I-pad or other?
I prefer my kobo e-reader!
7. Borrow or Buy?
Buy!
8. Bookstore or Online?
Bookstore (unless there is an AMAZING deal)!
9. Standalone or Trilogy?
Standalone.
10. Monster read or short and sweet?
Short and Sweet.
11. Stary eyed romance or full of action?
Full of Action! Weird romances make me CRINGE…
12. Curl up in your snuggie or Bathe in the sun?
Curling up in my snuggie by far!
13. Hot chocolate or latte?
Hot Chocolate!!
14. Read the review or decide for yourself?
Decide for MYSELF!
That was the this or that booktag! Check back tommorow for a new holiday post!
Today, December 8, is my one year bloggiversery! I cannot believe it’s already been one whole year! You guys mean so much to me, I couldn’t thank you enough. I’m so glad to be part of such an amazing community. I have been in love with reading since I could remember, and didn’t believe my eyes when I heard about blogging. I would also like to say a special thanks to Simon and Schuster Canada, especially Catherine and Michelle. Both of you girls have been SO lovely, and I cannot thank you enough for all of the amazing books you have provided me with. I was so happy when I got to meet Michelle at the Toronto International Book Fair! This community has gotten me so much more involved in all types of books. I would not have read some off my all time favourite books, if it wasn’t for your reccomedations. Each and everyone of you are special. Thanks and NEVER STOP READING!
Thanks for an awesome year.
Good Night Book Worms!

Today’s Holiday Reading Series post, will be about books and bookish related gifts to give to teens.
I will be spiting this post into two categories, one for teens who don’t read and others for teens that don’t.
Teens Who DON’T Read:
For teens who don’t read, we want to try to engage them on all types of books. My recommendation would be to start with books that are popular. Here are my recommendations:
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
Divergent by Veronica Roth
The Fault in Our Stars by John Green
The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
Harry Potter
The Book Thief by Marcus Zusak
The Giver by Lois Lowry
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
Teens Who DO Read:
Everyday by David Levithan
Noggin by John Corey Whaley
The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige
Those are all of my book recommendations for teens! Check back tomorrow for a gift guide for kids!

My dad became a back-up scientist last year. My family was poor at the time, so it was a pleasure to hear that my father became recruited. He was one of the only people in our community that graduated with honours and a master’s degree in science. When my father found out that there was a job opening for a back-up scientist, we were absolutely thrilled. The pay is amongst the highest range, which we thought we be great for our family.
Although, hearing the news that the scientists predicated the wrong DDK, placed my heart lower than ever before. What would happen to us? What if my father was fined? What if he was fired? I don’t want to know the answers.
I guess when I come home from school this afternoon, I will find out.

Hey guys!
During the summertime, I was in a HUGE reading slump, I didn’t read ANY books during the summer time, so I tried to step up my reading game.
I didn’t post what I read these past few months, so now I wanted to share them with you!
September:
Everyday by David Levithan
October:
Superstitions by Deborah Murrell
Perfect Revenge by K.L. Denman
November:
Are you there god? It’s Me, Margaret by Judy Blume (check out my book review here: https://readingreadingalldaylong.wordpress.com/2014/11/09/are-you-there-god-its-me-margaret-by-judy-blume-book-review/)
Prisoner B-3087 by Alan Gratz
Those were all of my current reads! I know it wasn’t alot, but it was a better amount then during the summer!
Good Night Book Lions!
CHAPTER 3
The next day was just as weird.
“Hey Leah!” I called once I saw my best friend heading to our bus stop. “Hey Rachel!” Leah replied, as soon as she knew who had just called her. There was know law that was stopping others from sharing there DDKs. On the other hand, people with 100 or over were instructed to keep them private. “What was your DDK?” Leah asks me. “Ninety-Five Years” I reply. “Oh. I got 90 years.” Says Leah. What is she surprised about? It almost sounds like she’s dis heartened. If she’s mad at somebody it should be the scientists, not me. We hop on the school bus, making sure that my brother is right ahead of me.
“Did you hear about Derek Smool?” Leah asks. I’ve heard of him before. He’s been very sick and nobody knows what’s wrong with him. Unfortunately, he’s only twenty- two. If he dies, all of the scientists will be fined.
“What happened?” I ask. “He Died.” Leah replies.
“Oh my god. What are they doing now? Investigating? Fining the scientists?” I reply, in complete and utter shock. Leah states “There doing as much as they can. Nobody knows what his medical condition was before and if the fine the scientists, they’ll keep there mouth closed for ever. Nobody will ever know what happened.”
Once we arrived to school, everyone was buzzing, even the young ones. This was quite the shock, as these were claimed to be the top scientists ever found. What if there was a secret? What if I found out?
Every month, I’m going to try and do a monthly reading challenge!
This December, I’m going to try to buy all of my books on my e-reader!
I have the black Kobo Touch, which I actually did a review for! Here’s the link:https://readingreadingalldaylong.wordpress.com/2014/04/01/kobo-touch-review/
I’m going to be basing my December TBR based around this challenge, and I hope you guys will join me to!
You don’t have to read ALL e-books, but if you BUY books, then you will have to get them on your e-reader!
Good Night Book Lions!
