Welcome to me!

Hi guys :) So this is the equivalent of a BookTube channel. :p I really wanted to make one, but was way too freaked about the cameras, so here I am. I know it's really not the same, but I'm definitely more myself through typing rather than through camera, and I wanted to do something like this.

So yeah, my name's Maddie, and welcome to my blog :) I have no idea how often I'll make posts, but I'll try to put up book reviews, and I'll definitely be doing book tags, as the BookTubers do :p Probably once a day :p I might even run out of book tags haha.

So a little about me: I'm from New Zealand (or the future, as many people say), home of Lord of the Rings and Narnia.
 I'm 19 and love reading, as well as listening to music (pop and classical) and wasting time on Goodreads :p I also feel like I waste time (and money) at university, but hey, can't spend my whole life doing what I love :p

I am a hoarder. That is a fact. I have my own personal library. 600 books, and of those I swear I've only read 100 :p Need some motivation! Yet I still want more books :p You can never have enough books!! This is totally me.


Hhhmmm what else do I want to say? Oh yeah, hardly even talked about books much. Uhm what do I like to read? Still mainly read YA, but I'm trying to get out of it, as I'm just so over the cliches and the predictability of every plotline. I swear, nothing is ever predictable any more. Everything is so overdone, I'm sick of it. I'm trying to get more into adult fantasy and sci-fi, but those are also incredibly intimidating - so thick with tiny words.

At the start of every post, I will open with how many pages I have read and of what books, since I last updated. My reading speed differs depending on my mood, so just bear with me.

Think that's all for now :p

    Hi Maddison! :) It's Alyssa Janine on Goodreads. We've talked a few times before and we've been part of a team on YA Buddy Readers' Corner. Anyway, welcome on the book blogging world! :) I've been part of the community since last year and if ever you need some help, you can reach me on Goodreads.

My Books (and rages about them)

So I just wanted to introduce you guys to my bookshelves :D Sadly they aren't with me at the moment, as they're up at my parents' place, which I recently moved out of. So I'll just look at these when I miss them. I know this one's blurry (didn't realise at the time). I was going to make this post yesterday, but it was raining at my parents', so it was too dark to properly see all of the books. As you can see, I have a looooot, I think around 500-600. And I also recently just got rid of the box of books yesterday, when I spent a few hours reorganising and tidying these shelves. I hate running out of room for books :( Also these shelves are double-stacked... I chose to hide the ugly ones (the second-hand ones I bought from the library for like 50c XD) This was the shelf that I was having real trouble with (as it faces away from the window) but I think I got there. I can't believe I even now have gaps in my shelves due to saying goodbye to some of my b...

Book Cake Book Tag

After a little bit of debate (and decision-making with my friend Jacquelyn), I've decided to do the Book Cake Tag as my first tag! :D This is technically making a cake out of books, so we're using books as the ingredients of the cake. Ingredient One: Flour Represents a book that starts off slow but really speeds up. My 'flour' book would have to be Ready Player One. I didn't really know what to expect when I read this book, except that I knew I wanted to read it due to a lot of hype around it on Goodreads in one of my challenges. So I gave it a shot, and holy moly it is incredible!! The world-building and explanations and descriptions at the start were a little hard to pay attention to, but then it took off straight away. The themes in it, the action and suspense and the plot twists (and these are real plot twists, not YA plot twists!) were just unreal. There's also a movie coming out soon, not too sure how I feel about it. I know so many people who co...
