Book Subscription Boxes

Well, hello!!! 
So today I wanted to talk about book subscription boxes, like the Fairyloot box. I have been getting this box for six months now and I love it. It is a little expensive because it is based in the UK and I'm in the US so with shipping it's about $50 USD. There are definitely less expensive options that are just as good! I thought I'd share some pictures of the six boxes I've received so far, I hope you like them!
Disclaimer: This post is in no way sponsored by Fairyloot I am not getting anything for posting this, I just wanted to share something I love. 

This is the first box I received I bought it as a birthday present to myself! 

So these are the awesome things I've gotten so far, feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions!!!

Book Challenge Day 7

Hi everyone. Sorry I've been MIA Life got busy. I went to the Welcome to Nightvale live show in Sacramento, had to work, and do about a million errands and things around the house. Day 7 is a book that makes me laugh. I picked this one.

I absolutely love this podcast so of course I had to get this book, a friend and I went to the book signing in San Francisco and it was so fun. This book is always good for a laugh, and if I'm feeling down it puts me in a better mood every time.

Book Challenge Day 2

Hey everyone! It's Day 02- A Book That You've Read More Than 3 Times
I picked A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray, anyone who knows me knows about my love affair with this book.

This book has been one of my favorites for about 13 years and I have read it at least twice a year since my mom bought it for me all those years ago. I was in the biggest reading slump I've ever been in when I got it and fell in love with reading all over again. It's such a wonderful story full of magic and mystery, and I always recommend it to everyone. I'm going to share with you my all time favorite part of the book, there are mild spoilers so if you don't want any spoilers don't read any further!

"What frightens you?

What makes the hair on your arms rise, your palms sweat, the breath catch in your chest like a wild thing caged?

Is it the dark? A fleeting memory of a bedtime story, ghosts and goblins and witches hiding in the shadows? Is it the way the wind picks up just before a storm, the hint of wet in the air that makes you want to scurry home to the safety of your fire?

Or is it something deeper, something much more frightening, a monster deep inside that you've only glimpsed in pieces, the vast unknown of your own soul where secrets gather with a terrible power, the dark inside?

If you will listen, I will tell you a story--one whose ghosts cannot be banished by the comfort of a roaring fire. I will tell you a story of how we found ourselves in a realm where dreams are formed, destiny is chosen, and magic is as reals as your handprint in the snow. I will tell you how we unlocked the Pandora's box of ourselves, tasted freedom, stained our souls with blood and choice, and unleashed a horror on the world that destroyed its dearest Order. These pages are a confession of all that has led to this cold gray dawn. What will be now, I cannot say.

Is your heart beating faster?

Do the clouds seem to be gathering on the horizon?

Does the skin on your neck feel stretched tight, waiting for a kiss you both fear and need?

Will you be scared?

Will you know the truth?"

Book Challenge Day 1

Hi everyone!
Ashley here, as promised, for day 01 of the 30 Day Book Challenge.

       Okay so, Day 01-Best Book You Read last Year. For me It would definitely be Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton. I read the first chapter when Penguin Teen released it on Facebook to promote the book and as soon as I read that I knew I had to preorder the book. I was not disappointed, I couldn't put this book down and finished it in about a day. Alwyn Hamilton has a lovely writing style and she has created such an amazing world within her story here and I am eagerly anticipating Traitor to the Throne. I preordered it the second it was available, but sadly while it has been released in the UK it is not yet in the US. So anyway, if you haven't read this book yet give it a try.

Blog Challenge

New Book Tuesday on Wednesday

Sorry this is a day late my schedule has been crazy lately. Okay so for this weeks new book Tuesday I chose this book which I got the last time I went book shopping, with my favorite book shopping buddy, Kelsey.

Ashley's New Book Tuesday

Well Hello!
      So for my New Book Tuesday pick I picked Once Upon A Zombie by Billy Phillips & Jenny Nissenson. Two of my best friends and I are doing a book exchange, where every third month I pick a book for Kelsey and Sharon and send it to them and they do the same when it's their month. And this is the latest book I got, from Sharon, and I love it!

The Wedding of Deadpool

This one isn't actually a review, more of a "what I'm reading" kind of thing. I love comic books as much as I love novels, and my latest comic book was The Wedding of Deadpool. I love Deadpool comics, so it was fun to see stories about his past wives and his current one. I'm more of a Marvel girl, but I do live DC and Darkhorse comics as well. The Avengers are my favorite crime fighting group, but Deadpool will always have a special place in my heart, even though he did try to destroy the entire Marvelverse. Have any of you ever read any comics? Who's your favorite character?  

I got this book in Santa Rosa while shopping with two of my best friends, where I discovered my new favorite Barnes & Noble. The outside had such a vintage 1920's vibe that I couldn't help but fall in love with it, and the inside was just as wonderful. In the kids section there was a mural of the peach being pulled by birds from James and the Giant Peach by Roald Dahl, and it was beautiful.
