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

A Wicked Treat by Crimson Syn (Sinful Holiday Series #1)

Summary by Goodreads:
A WICKEDLY SWEET HALLOWEEN ROMANCE

Anthony Reed has me primed and ready for so much more.
More of his mouth, more of his touch, more of his deliciously dirty words.
The man seduced me from the first moment I saw him,
And I can’t seem to stop myself from getting lost in him.
But my job is at stake, and so is my heart.
Yet I can’t help but fall for his devilish ways.

I have never yearned for a woman like I do Miss Ana Collins.
She’s beautiful, smart and unbelievably tempting.
She’s also my daughter’s Kindergarten teacher.
I should stay away from her, protect her, but I can’t do that.
My angel means everything to me.
Even if I have to fight my torrid past, I will have her.
She’s the only one who can mend my broken heart.

The Fallen Gatekeeper By C.R. Fladmark

Summary by Author:

He went to the realm where no one with a pure heart should go. Yet he survived.

He dared to speak to the gods. And the gods spoke back.

His blood still carries the poison that should have killed him.

Sixteen-year-old Junya survived his battle with the Evil Ones, but his energy is weighed down by a powerful darkness. The Gatekeepers of Izumo Oyashiro are reluctant to let him back into their realm. His own mother watches him with a wary look.

Only Shoko – the deadly warrior who dresses like a Japanese schoolgirl – stands by him. And all Junya wants now is a way to introduce his ancient guardian of the gods to modern romance.

But the Evil Ones aren’t done with them yet. Someone in Junya’s world is murdering the shamans of the Earth’s ancient religions. Without their worship, the gods grow weak, and the Gatekeepers are in danger.

It will take a bold and unconventional plan to save Izumo.

The rules that have governed Gatekeepers for centuries are about to change.

But will it be worth the cost?

Note:
First and foremost I did not know this was a second book and i have recently discovered NetGalley. So do expect to hear about them often enough, This book is actually from NetGalley so i will also have my thoughts on their review page.
