Be attractive, baby! *winks*

Most people will start a blog because they want to share their opinion, so it’s important that your blog (design, content etc) attracts readers. What you should really aim for are regular visitors as they’re the ones who are your loyal blog supporters and readers. How do you get people to come back? After visiting tons of blogs in my 2 years of blogging – and even before – I’ve seen it all, and some things will attract me to come back, other things will make sure I never do.

How to attract…

So Many Orphans!

Seriously? Where are the parents in YA novels? I have noticed a common theme where the characters are either orphans, live away from home (like in a private school dorm or with an uncle), have parents who are always at work or otherwise clueless/uninvolved in the book at all, or gone on vacation for the duration of the story. I know that these “excuses” are things that can happen. A lot of parents are uninvolved, too busy with their careers or otherwise to be very… parenty, but it seems to be such a common occurrence…

The Life of a Book Addict

This week we’ll be showing you our reading habits – as you can guess (if you know me at all) mine will include a lot of food and coffee… and well yeah who needs anything else? >.< Also, it will be brought to you mostly via pictures – brace yourselves! 😉

I do the most of my reading in the morning right after I ship the lil one to daycare and before the rest of the world is…

Must Reads – For the Zombie Fans!

This week we decided to take a favorite genre or ours and do a top list. So, of course, you know me and my zombies! So if you love zombie books as much as I do maybe you’ll find some more to add to your lists, and leave me some recs in the comments, too! 🙂 FYI – these are not really in order, because that would be too hard >.<

—The Last Bastion of the Living by Rhiannon Frater—

This is definitely one of my all time favorite…

ALL THE FEELS!

There are always books that get our emotions involved and this week we decided to feature some books that truly gutted us into oblivion (or tears… however dramatic you want to be ;).

Hopeless by Colleen Hoover        Hopeless is the most recent powerfully emotional book I read. It had me in tears for most of the book. This was also my first by Colleen Hoover and it will for sure not be my last. I…

I wanted to love you, but…

Sometimes there are books that you are just DYING to love either because it sounds exactly like you type of perfect read, all your friends highly recommended it, or it just has an epically awesome cover (pfft yeah I just by the cover! Sue me!), BUT they don’t always pan out. So this week we’re talking about books we wanted to love but we just…. didn’t. Then the black sheep was born. BAAAAAA. (that was a sheep…. fyi).

Note that…
