Dream Within A Dream

Update! Newly Added! Hello my fellow book addicts! So, in an attempt to lessen the drastic amount of space my books occupy, I've pulled a few from the shelves.

I'll try and have something for y'all soon.

Today's Top Ten Tuesday (Meme courtesy The Broke and the Bookish ) asks us what our Top 10 reads are so far for the year. I feel a little weird joining this meme on this one as it is has been a bad year for me, having read only 17 books so far. Seven of which have been read this month. But I'm gonna do it anyway. :D First up, the books that received five stars from me. All of which happen to be the books I've most recently read. And keep in mind, the spectacular-ness of this as I hadn't given a book five stars prior to this since August 2011! (College really hurt my reading mojo.)     The Art of Racing in the Rain easily takes the #1 spot for me so far this year. This book was a surprise. I had always wanted to read it and finally decided to in an attempt to deviate from my usual YA book. It blew my fucking mind! Read it! I was reading A Spy in the House at the same time as TAoRitR. Once again, a book I had wanted to read for ages and it didn't disappoint. Pure fun ...

Okay, so I just saw a post by a blog that I follow saying that Google Reader is closing. Most of you probably already know this but as I have been kind of out of touch with this marvelous community for a little while, it was news to me. Honestly, I'm pretty sure my jaw hit the keyboard. I reread and reread, wondering what this little fact meant for me. I was in denial. Deep deep denial. I have always loved using Google Reader. It can't possibly be going away. The horror! Oh but it could. On July 1st to be exact. Once it sunk into my brain that my love for following via Google Reader was not going to make it stay, I went into full on panic. Sure, I have my blog on Facebook, and you can subscribe via email, but I feel like most people don't go that route. (Though please feel free to!) And then I was just all, "Pull yourself together, girl!" I looked a little closer at Zoe's blog and saw that she was using a site called Bloglovin' as an alternative. I collec...

Insomnia by J.R. Johansson Flux June 8th, 2013 The Night Walkers, #1 Young Adult For Review from Flux Synopsis via Goodreads It’s been four years since I slept, and I suspect it is killing me. Instead of sleeping, Parker Chipp enters the dream of the last person he’s had eye contact with. He spends his nights crushed by other people’s fear and pain, by their disturbing secrets—and Parker can never have dreams of his own. The severe exhaustion is crippling him.

Parker starts going to bizarre lengths to catch Mia’s eye every day. Everyone at school thinks he’s gone over the edge, even his best friend. And when Mia is threatened by a true stalker, everyone thinks it’s Parker. Suffering blackouts, Parker begins to wonder if he is turning into someone dangerous. What if the monster stalking Mia is...

So, I'll keep this very brief. This past Spring semester was unbelievably rough for me. I had a lot of really bad stuff going on in my life and was taking a full course load at college while also having my publishing internship with Paper Lantern Lit. As a result, blogging just wasn't something I had the time and energy for. I just got back from spending the last 3wks in Costa Rica for a Latin Dance and Culture Class. Now, I'm ready to return to blogging. I'm sorry I've been MIA for so long. I'm hoping to return to my usual blogging self over the next few days. I've missed you guys like crazy! :D
