LeseLust & LeseLiebe

Let’s face it. We as book lovers buy books. It’s just a fact of biblophilia. We love books and so we buy them because we want to own some our favorite things in the world. Sometimes we may get carried away but we love books so it’s okay! BUY  ALL THE BOOKS. All the big book hauls. And yet… sometimes we call it a problem. I’ve for sure heard exclamations of “I have a problem with buying books.” In fact I’ve probably said them myself. But lately I’ve been thinking about that and how while in some cases, yes it IS true, but it also makes me laugh; because is it really, truly a PROBLEM? We love books! Books are who we are! Right? It’s what makes us book bloggers! We’re spending our money on things that we love, things that make us happy and things we love to support. We’re spending money on a part of ourselves. So then I ask again…is it really a problem? Now granted in some cases it undoubtedly is going to be one. Like when you literally have a budget or financial situation that cannot...

This post was first seen on Lauren from Lose Time Readings' blog ! Then I saw Jessi do her own discussion on part of it, and I thought, " Hey! I'm totally gonna be a copycat because I want to talk about this!".  And so I'm doing one. But all the credit to Lauren for the idea! In thinking about this a few things come to mind, I’ve had to really think outside of the box a little bit. I tend to consider myself a very open reader. I’ll read a variety of things. I’ll read books I know will be sad touching stories. I like cry books/movies . I’ll read anything from paranormal to steampunk to thriller. I adore historical fiction. As far as genres go I’m pretty lax about it all. It’s when you dive into subcategories that you find me a-cringing. Just roll with it. Deal Breakers Mermaids – I’ve read a few books with mermaids in them, and while none of them were HORRID, none of them blew my mind. They were just nothing special. I’m just not interested in them, enough to ca...

The biggest issue that I've had with my blogging lately is figuring out how to balance it with my off-the-internet life. I LOVE blogging and not having enough time for it is just...not fun. Recently life has just been shoved in my face as I'm growing up and entering those years where EVERYTHING happens. School, which has always been a struggle for me is now a necessary priority and I have so many questions and things to think about. I've had to spend a lot of time trying to get myself on track with that, and I think it's finally working. I’ve been working harder and finding it so much more enjoyable than it was before. However, on the side of that all my extra-curricular events take up a lot of time, and who doesn't love to socialize? NOT THIS GIRL! It's all just been a blur of experiences and school to me. What little time I have left to write posts I want to use to relax by jamming to music or reading. [And quite possibly wasting on social media. ] So watching...
