T10T [2] - My Most Recommended Books

T10T [1] - Books I HAD TO BUY but are still UNREAD (vlog)

Hello all! I've wanted participate in Top Ten Tuesday (T10T), the meme created by The Broke and the Bookish, for a while, but I never felt like doing them on the blog (I have weird aesthetics on occasion - like how I think the number 2 is ugly - and this just happened to be another one of them).

However, I've been making some videos lately and decided to do the T10T meme via vlog. So here is my first one and I hope you guys enjoy and share your own thoughts on today's topic! ^_^

Space Takers [1] - Underhyped Books (vlog)

Hello! I've been messing around with making videos and vlogs for a while and I finally did! Here is the first video in my vlog series Space Takers, which is all about books that take up space on my shelves. Enjoy! ^_^

2013 Goodreads Rundown [January - February]

A new year, a new and improved update post! To be honest, not much has changed for these posts except the name, but if you aren't familiar with my Goodreads Reading Challenge updates, this is where I give more detailed stats on what I've read so far this year.
 
My goal number this year is 90. I read over 100 last year with a goal of only 75 so I figured I would increase it a bit this go-round. From the looks of things so far, I'm off to a pretty descent start again this year!

Reading the stats: In my #/# calculations, the first # pertains only to the current months; the second # is the total thus far for the year.
