Update

Hey y'all. I know that the blog has been....well, pretty much non-existant. I know I said not to long ago that I was going to get into the swing of things and start blogging again. Obviously this was not the case. Since I just started college and it's completely different from anything I've done before, I've really been focusing on it and blogging and reading have gone to the back of my priority list. Which is sad because I love reading!

Therefore, it is my goal to start up again. I will take the time to read and relax and I will catch up. I've started to get into the routine so I know when I can relax and read and so on. In reality, I miss it. I miss y'all! 

I won't promise anything. I can only try and do my best. I probably won't have much up this week because I'm so behind on my reading, but hopefully next week I'll start getting in the swing of things. I've really got to catch up on those Netgalley books! After about 2 or 3 weeks, if I find it too hard to do it by myself, I will most likely ask y'all if you're willing to be a co-blogger. 

Thanks again for sticking with me and being the awesome people that you are!

P.S. If I was supposed to mail you your prize and you haven't gotten it, please let me know. Moving and college have made my life hectic and it may have gotten put off to the side for which I apologize.

All the best ♥

Sorry I've been gone!

Hey y'all. I'm so sorry that I haven't been updating my blog. Getting ready for school and moving in and changing classes and orientation and ugh...just so much! However, I hope to start thing back up on Tuesday or Wednesday and get back to my regular routine. With school, I don't know how much I'll be able to read. I really hope to continue but if it becomes to hard I may be looking for a co-blogger so keep an eye out ;) I think it will be good to help alleviate some of the pressure and help keep things running. Again, so sorry! I hope things will be up and running again ASAP!

All the best ♥

Twitter and Winner!

Well, guess what y'all? I decided to just go for it and get a twitter (Thanks for the comments btw)! So now y'all can find me @OTheLoveOfBooks or click the button to your right ------->
 I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing, but I'll figure it out eventually XD 

In the meantime, I've just picked a winner from my Summer Wrap-up Read-a-Thon and am just awaiting a reply at this time. Thanks to all you awesome people who created some absolutely fantastic summer parties. I wish I could have them all! But alas, I'm a rather poor college girl here ;) 

Hope y'all had an awesome time and I hope to do more read-a-thon's in the future. 

All the best ♥

Off to College!

That's right y'all. I'm headed off to college! Just another adventure to add to my ever-growing list :) Course, it doesn't start till the 20th but I'm headed up early to visit my brother and sister-in-law so I'm pretty happy! 

Hopefully things will get back to normal soon. I have many, many reviews to come. Once school starts it may be a bit slow, not quite sure. I've got to get into the feel of college and all that jazz. My time may be a bit more limited. But don't fret my dear followers! I'm not leaving! Just wanted to let y'all know what's going on in my crazy life XD 

While I'm gone, don't forget to check out my Summer Wrap-up Read-a-Thon Giveaway!  You can win one book of your choice $15 and under from The Book Depository. And guess what? It's international! 

Update on Summer Wrap-up Read-a-Thon Challenge:
Currently reading The Serpent's Shadow
I was hoping to finish it before I headed out but I'm only 220 pages in. But I definitely love it! I forget just how awesome Rick Riordan's books are! I feel a re-read of Percy Jackson coming on ;)

I hope y'all had an utterly fantastic summer and good luck to all in the upcoming school year :)

All the best ♥

Update

Hey y'all!

So I know I haven't really been putting up many reviews lately, mainly just memes, but I promise they are coming! I have so many books I need to review, but time just isn't on my side at the moment. Remember when I said I was going to get organized and schedule everything? 

Yeah, that was my reaction too! Me and organization go together like oil and water. 

But at least there is good reason. This time. I just drove up to SC on Wednesday (finally!) and we've been going between the hotel and the house and looking around Sumter (which is nonexistent :P) We are getting some of our furniture today so I'll be unpacking over the weekend. Moving is a pain in the A so its really hard to find time for everything. Hopefully (being the operative word) I'll have everything running smoothly by Monday. I have plenty of reviews coming up including Shadow and Bone, The False Prince, Shatter me, Scary School, Seraphina and Innocent Darkness to name a few. Thanks for sticking with me so far! 

To keep you all busy laughing and saying "so true!", and in the spirit of travel, look at this awesome pic I have on my Humor board on pinterest:

Hahaha. That's so me :p Just don't tell my dad ;)

All the best ♥

Mackenzie
