It’s been a while.

So, I’m sure the people who do frequent my blog know. I abandoned it. I’ll admit, it defeated me. As a full time, student, I was constantly crammed with assignments and due dates and ridiculous stuff on top of it. Now, I’m finishing up my first year of college and all I could think about was “damn, I miss my blog.” It made me realize that making even just one or two updates a month was a freedom to me. That alone made me realize that this summer I want rejoin my bookish book dragons and continue blogging. I will be accepting new requests and hopefully checking my email to see about any old requests that got lost in the mail (I am definitely dreading that bit).

Just little update on my life and some things I want to bring to the blog, because while I evolve into an educated human being I would love for my blog to evolve with me.

First, I will of course be doing requested books, by anyone! I can’t give up the heart of this blog. Even if I could I wouldn’t. I love it too much, and it does seem wrong to give it up.

Second, don’t be surprised if I start adding a load of stuff about college. Going to college I realize that you can be the person that shares the experience with the world, along with all the intricate new things you learn, or you can be the person that just sits there quietly unmoving and slightly creepy. I want to be the one first one though. The one that shares. I love sharing with you guys my opinion on books, I love being able to give my honest opinion about what I read and most of all I love the community. I believe that college is exhausting and sometimes we need something to bring us back to the land of the living. College students from what I’ve seen don’t really read. It kind of scares me.

Anyways, the third thing I am thinking of introducing is a weekly challenge every week! For you and me. It might not be challenges though, I’m thinking it will be just something new every week. So, college tips and tricks, rants, challenges, short stories, crazy things that happen and maybe some insights into what I learn about writing in general from majoring in English and taking classes designated to the improvement of writing.

I promise that in the future my writing won’t be so templated, with first, second and third starting nearly every sentence. I’m currently trying my best to move past using the word: so, so much. Its one of my new goals as of late.

Let me know how you guys are doing any epiphanies while I was gone, maybe some new-found glory books to read.

OH! Go check out the new page labeled Book Review Requests I am hoping to change up the way I receive requests. In my email they get lost and I really hate that. Which means this new way will hopefully allow some better and easier and cleaner ways of getting in your requests. Which also means more chances I will review the book you want me to review. It wont automatically be lost and gone in the trenches of waste mail.

Anyways Thank you if:

You read ALL of that

You subscribe

And if you if you use the new way to request reviews

Tons of love from this Book Dragon,

Ozzy

Question

Hi everyone so today I have been putting a lot of thought into a question my brother asked me about oh five years ago before he went AWOL on me.
Why do we care? At the end of the day we are dealing with either dying happy, sick, healthy, lonely, loved, hated, Ect,. So why do we care? what is the importance of caring if at the end of the day we are all dead anyways.
I am still after five years thinking and trying to answer this question myself, sadly I have yet to come up with an answer. Which is why I now ask you the same question, to ask yourself.

The Question of Love By Oz Monty Mikhail

This poem is short, but also the best I could come up with for the Valentines day season that isn't as morbid as the rest of my poems. (Yes, I do know they are morbid.)

The Question of Love

What is love?

Other than a day of passion.

A woman in satin?

Or maybe its the kiss,

a sweet kiss.

What is love?

Is it the look in his eyes?

The deep timbre of his voice?

The idea of making new lives?

Is love a choice?

What is love?

A Question

So today I am not going to bother with the review I had planned instead I have a question for you.

Why do you read?
I know why I read. I read to escape, to live, and to grow. This question is one that people, family, friends,strangers, ask me nearly every day one that I occasionally ask my self. From my perspective every book, every story, is a lesson to be learned. It may be one that you have already learned, or a new one but this is how we grow. Most of the the time people don't even realize that they have learned this lesson, this lesson can come from any genre of books, whether it a memoir or a horror. You don't have to tell me your answer, nor give me any explanation, instead giver your self one.
Why do you read? Why do you pick up that book? 
And just for the hell of it here is another question for you.
What make you want to read a book? Is it the cover? The author? The summary? Genre? Be brave and leave a comment below with your answer to this question.

Have a beautiful Saturday my friends.
