                         Your Next Book Boyfriend!!!

Do you love books? Have you ever picked up a book and couldn't put it down? Or maybe you did but all you thought about is whats happening in your book? Thats great, because this is for YOU!!! 

Over the last 3 years I have grown such a attachment to reading, I love all type's and kinds of books any shape or size. NO JUDGMENT over here! My top favorite to read is psychological thrillers, fantasy, romantasy I even enjoy some autobiography. Also is it just me or is it normal to have a TBR (to be read) the size of a my arm, 3 bookshelf's with countless unread books, or anytime you walk into a store you head straight for the book section to find a new book that you don't need to add to unread bookshelf you have. No? Okay great! 


                                    Join me in the Mass world!

Today I want to review a searies that is very close to my heart, a series I think about or reference at least once a day. I love each and every character, the story line, the villains everything about this series is my favorite. This was the first series I picked up that got me into my fantasy/romantasy ✨era✨.

Sarah J. Mass wrote a 4 book series, it has 5 books out but the 4th book is just a tie end to the 3rd book, A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACATOR). This book has such a chock-hold on me, its probably by far the best book I have ever read. This story is a captivating fantasy novel about Feyre a young girl who is also a huntress, who was drawn into  a dangerous world  of faeries after taking a life of a wolf. As she becomes part of this world she try's to learn how to navigate the treacherous courts, throughout this she finds love, betrayal and the true power within herself. This book is so beautiful and follows such a deep loving story, with enormous amounts of heart break, complex character's,  and a very vivid world-building. The amount of hours I have spent reading, and listening to this book is out of this world. I live, breath and love this series and character's in this book with everything in my being. 


                                  Having a True Love for Books.

Having a true love for books is incredible, its like having a entire world at your fingertips ready to be explored. Books have such a magical ability to transfer us to different times, places, and dimension's. They will make you laugh, cry, and cause a whole lot of different emotions. The character's become our friends and family, and their story's become apart of us as a whole. Rather thats getting lost in a thrilling mystery, or diving into a fantastical realm, books truly have a way of to ignite our imaginations and broaden our horizons. To me theres truly nothing like a new of a fresh new book, the crisp pages we get to turn, or being able to break in a new spine of a book before you read it. You can grow such a attachment to books, authors and anything they write, or even in a audiobook if I love how someone narrates the book as they read it I will find more books that person reads and listen to that also. My favorite place to listen to books is  Audible , I also read on a kindle. Below I will post some of my favorite authors if you would like to go check them out.

Painting is my peace #1

 As a child I would go over to my grandma’s house, during this visit, I always had to see her craft room. When you walked into this room you got hit in the face with such a strong scent a mix of cinnamon and spice, with a hint of fresh air. It was always a colder room in the house, when I walked in it would instantly make me happy. My nana always had me around crafts, whether that was painting, making jewelry, clothes, cups, or even clay making. Now that I’m an adult there's nothing better than painting, painting is such an amazing hobby to have. 



Painting is such a great way to relax and destress, it allows you to express yourself since there are so many different ways you can paint. My favorite thing to do before I start painting is light a fresh candle preferably Cinnamon, open the windows for the natural lighting with a fresh breeze, I will turn on the audiobook I’m currently listening to, or light jazz/ Motown fun music like; The Temptations )is a favorite band of mineMy girl )is their most popular song. However, Painting is credibly rewarding whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter, there are so many ways to learn nowadays. After you finish a painting it's always such a beautiful moment, “Did I really paint this?” I'm constantly in shock after finishing a painting. 




There are many ways to learn how to paint different techniques, and styles to explore and express myself. The beginning was hard for me because I wanted to be the best, I used the internet a lot but the main way I learned was by watching videos and following how to do it, and over time you pick up on techniques Step by Step is my favorite painting website. I will often use Pinterest if I need to find a picture of a landscape, how-to’s, or what materials I need to use to do something specific on my painting, Pinterest is a great reference for almost anything. 



Those are some of my personal paintings my favorite pieces, this is my favorite style of painting, I love landscapes, trees, and using a lot of different colors in my paintings. If you have ever thought about painting but were too scared I'm here to tell you just like anything practice makes perfect and to just do it rather than just putting anything you have in mind down on a canvas or watching a video. Either way, you won't regret it, it's incredible the things people can do in paintings.

Practice #0

Today I'm writing about 2 different blogs and the difference in themTMZ and LittleBirdBookBlog, I liked LittleBirdBookBlog a lot after reviewing her blog. Im a huge book lover so this blog caught my eye right away. I enjoyed her blog because she went into great details about the book she reviewed. It was more of a casual/personal blog, this blog is very organized and put together very well. All black and white for the most part, everything was easy to find, rather it was a book you wanted to read her review on, or just contact her, very easy to navigate. Theres different columns about in her blog page; Contact me, book reviews, other blogs, about me, and home. Within each one of her column there''s a drop down that shows more you can pick from. The only thing I found about her blog that I disliked is to have a easier way to recommend books for her to review that the audience would want to see. 

Another thing I enjoyed is she also mentioned Goodreads which is a website that shows how many reviews a book got world wide. Theres also many other ways to read or listen to your books also now a days. I

Tmz isn't my favorite because it's a lot of drama and possible rumors about people, I know some people enjoy this type of blog, which if you do than this blog is great for you. Because this is a great way to keep up on celebrities lives, what's going on in the world, I did enjoy that TMZ shows a lot of pictures through their blog.
