Teaser Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm here for another addition of Teaser Tuesday created by MizB over at Should Be Reading. Anyone can join in but you have to follow the rules below!
1. Grab your current read.
2. Open to a random page.
3. Share two teaser sentences from somewhere on that page.
4. Make sure not to share spoilers you don't want to ruin the book for the others.
5. Lastly include the Title and Author so other TT participants can add the book to their TBR list.

Here's my teaser:

Of Mice And Men By: John Steinbeck

The old man squirmed uncomfortably. "Well--hell! I had him so long. Had him since he was a pup. I herded sheep with him." He said proudly, "You wouldn't think it to look at him now, but he was the best damn sheeo dog i ever seen."

Hahaha I know a quote from a school book really? But its the only book I'm reading right now that I hadn't already quoted from so I had to go with this one. I thought the quote above was pretty cute. What do you think? Share the links to your teasers below. Happy Teasing!

Book Blogger Confessions (1)

Morning Followers! How was your weekend? Did anyone watch the Superbowl? I did and i was disappointed but i'm still sticking by my team. Lets go Patriots! So anyways a few months back Karen @ For What It's Worth and Tiger @ All-Consuming Media started a new meme called Book Blogger Confessions. What you do is every 1st and 3rd Monday of every month theres a new question to answer and you just make a blog post and answer the question! You can check out there explanation of the meme here since its there meme!

So this week the question is: Deadlines for reviewing and blogging. Do you set them? How do you keep them? What do you do if you can't meet a deadline?


Since i'm a new blogger i'm still trying to regulate my scheduling and sometimes its very difficult. When i first started blogging i didn't realize how hard it was going to be to keep on track with all the books i would start getting. I've only been blogging for a little over 5 months and i've gotten so many books. At first i just tried to rely on my brain but i finally stopped and started writing things down and on calendars because i knew i couldn't fit everything in my brain.


Now i write things on my regular wall calendar, a virtual calendar and my phone calendar. Something that i need to work on is not accepting so many review books and signing up for book tours and ARC tours because right now i'm swamped! I have about 5 e-books that i need to read. 3 before they expire, two by the end of March and one whenever i can. Also I have a book for review that needs to be finished before early March so as you can see i'm not to good with scheduling! Anyways my blog is still young and i'm hoping to fix this and get better at in the future! 

It's Monday What Are You Reading?

Hi all! So it's time for my weekly recap! It's Monday What Are You Reading? was created by Sheila over at Book Journey. Where you tell us what you've finished this week, what were reading now, and what were reading next. This week it's probably a lot of the same because i'm reading so many because of dates that its taking longer then expected. I'm hoping when i'm finished with this huge list that things will calm down a bit. So without further ado here is what I'm reading!

ARC Review Freshman Year & Other Unnatural Disasters By: Meredith Zeitlin

Freshman Year & Other Unnatural Disasters by Meredith Zeitlin

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


***Large Spoiler Alert*** So i got this book as part of DAC ARC Tours and it was really good. I wasn't sure what it was going to be like at first but i'm glad i ended up signing up because it was very entertaining. The characters and the plot i loved so much! and after reading this i can't wait to read more from the author! Now some of the characters really pissed me (One in particular) and some of them i just got a kick out of. My favorite kind of books are the ones where i'm able to laugh smile and feel sad at different points and Meredith Zeitlin but that in this book beautifully.

Part of me wishes i read this book last year because i was a freshman myself last year and for some reason i feel like i would of enjoyed the book that much more if i had. But don't get me wrong i'm not complaining! Kelsey was definitely a great character and i could picture her being a real person. You know how you read those books and you find a character and you just can't picture them ever living? Yeah that was definitely not the case in this book. Kelsey was definitely a person in my eyes. She was just starting High School, had a major crush on a popular guy, was bullied by some busy eye browed girl, and betrayed by one of her best friends. Sounds a lot like High School doesn't it?

I loved all of Kelsey's friends they reminded me so much of mine. Even Cassidy reminded me of one of my old friends because something similar happened. It wasn't as bad but very similar. I love when you can relate your life a little to the book your reading its always cool. Em which was basically Kelsey's best friend was awesome she was always there for Kelsey even when she was dealing with her own problems. Jojo I really liked her i'm not sure if it's because she came out in the book but i just feel like she was awesome. I'm glad that she ended up coming out to her friends because nobody should have to hide something like that. You are who you are and if your friends and family don't accept that then they were crappy in the first place. Lexi when she came i was a tiny bit afraid because i didn't know if she was going to be just like her cousin or not but i'm so so glad that she wasn't because that would've been a nightmare. Lastly Cassidy, This girl was obviously the one i was taking about above. I liked her then i hated her then i liked her again. I was so angry when i found out she was dating Jordan. I mean come on now its girl code! You don't date the guy your best friend has been drooling over for years it's just not right. Then when she proceeded to say you can't call dibbs on a guy? You most certainly can! Haha i just thought i might add that. But in the end i'mm glad they became friends again.

Now the boys i know it's sort of a sticky subject first there's of course Jordan the douche. Which i knew they weren't going to be together in the first place which is why i wasn't surprised when he ended up with Cassidy. Next up Keith he seemed like a sweet guy and when he kissed Kelsey at the concert and she stopped him and basically called him out on not knowing how to kiss i felt so so bad for him! Sam? Yuck i felt bad for Kelsey on that one. Josh isn't even worth talking about and then theres Ben. When he first came into the picture i just had this feeling that it was going to be them two together i mean who cares if he's two years older they were sweet together and they flirted like crazy so they obviously liked each other and thats all that matters <3

Overall i give this book 5 stars because it kept me flipping pages like a maniac the whole time i was reading it. Meredith is a very talented writer and like i said earlier i hope to see a lot more from her in the future.

***Edited In***

Hi again! So i totally forgot that i'm taking part in a new meme called Rewind and Review created by Lisa over at Lisa is Busy Nerding and Ginger at GReads! The whole meme is about well rewinding and reading books that you wanted to read when they came out but never got around to it. The only rule is you have to read books from 2010 or older and you have to give these two ladies credit because they came up with this awesome meme! So anyways there's a bunch of books in my tbr this month that came out in 2010 or earlier so i'm doing pretty good so far =)
(P.S. I really love this button! I wish i could figure out how to make my own button for my blog. I'll have to get someone to help me out and make one for me.)
