Now gone. Forget about that. I was too bored for my own good.

The Courtship Tag

I'm on YouTube, if you didn't know. And I enjoy making friends there, if you too are there please let me know. It'd be great to get to interact with you.

The last video I posted was the Courtship Tag but I have a few others, like the Guess That Book Character Challenge with my sisters, or my March Wrap Up and April TBR. So please do check it out, if you can or interested.

Thank you anyway, hope none of your favorite characters die! (That's my outro - too perfect, I know.)

Crown of Midnight

So tell me, have you ever been emotionally tired when or while reading a book? I have, with The Mortal Instruments mostly. Although here, we get another name added to the list.

I started the second book eagerly, I had grown too fond over the characters to not do so. And yet, though I did read it quite quickly, it felt more like I was crawling through it trying to find my way out.

Let me tell you more about this.

Live shows - hear me out.

It is currently the tenth of April, 2:50 AM. Hi. I am in fact usually awake at this hour. What I would like to say now though is to talk to you guys about a live show.

You must know how people do it all the time, on YouTube and on this thing (I relatively recently discovered) called YouNow (I know, I know shame on me). And I was like, "I wanna do that." To be fair, I always say that. So I was looking around and searching to see if perhaps there were any accounts already dedicated to talking about books and fandoms and no such thing appeared. How offensive right? So those were my first two points: 1. I want to do a live show. and 2. No one does live shows on topics I am interested.

Because yes, YouTube videos and blog posts are incredible and have their own perks (like being able to think and correct before sharing it with the interwebs) but live shows have their own randomness that I find really attractive. Which bring up my third point: 3. I could do a live show.

And yet, I think it would be remarkably awkward and pathetic to do a live show for you know, just me, and perhaps the ocassional person that is clicking around out of curiosity but will leave after five seconds. With this I rise to you my fourth point: 4. I need an audience. I am fresh out of audiences.

So, I though I could write this to remember the days where I was, for the most part, ignored. And to rant a little if I'm honest. Maybe someday I will be able to do weekly live shows like Dan and Phil do and it will be fun, random and perhaps a little awkward for me but overall awesome I'm sure. Until then, I leave you with my links. #ShamelessSelfPromotion And with the best wishes that you too find someone to listen to you. I'm here. Though I make no promises. Just playing, just playing.

- the rest are probably somewhere down from here or, somewhere in general?

Throne of Glass

So tell me, you've heard about this one too right? I did. A lot. Which of course explains why I didn't read until now. Yet the obvious love readers had for the main character here caught my attention along with the fact that she is an assasin, yay, so this past Sunday while at work - I read it all.

Let me tell you more about this.

Six of Crows Book Cover
(with pages black on the side, what?)

So tell me, surely you too had heard about this one so much you thought odds are it was going to be another one of those overhyped YA books? Or was that just me?

And yet, I read it. I'm not entirely sure why but I am sure I don't regret it. Let me tell you more about that.
