Auto Buy Authors Good or Bad Habit?



We all have those auto buy authors. You know the authors that are so freaking talented that you are going to buy their books without even having to know what the book is about. For example my auto buys are Sarah J. Maas, Wendy Higgins, Jennifer L. Armentrout, Josephine Angelini, and those are just a few! I think having auto buy authors are great! I mean it is amazing to find authors that are so talented they never do wrong, but I have started to have a problem with that. My problem is I have been sticking just to those authors. I have not been branching out much. I went to Apollycon which was AMAZING, but I realized there were so many authors I didn't know. I read the same authors and while that is great, I just wait for their new books to come out and I never truly branch out. 
While I will continue to love and keep my auto buy authors, I am going to start working on branching out. I also want to start branching out in genre. While my heart and most of my reading will stay YA reads, I want to start reading more adult as well. 

Here are a few authors that I have been recommended and I have ordered or already bought their books. 
  • Kristen Ashley I was specifically recommended her Wildest Dreams (Fantasyland #1) 
  • Alexandria Bracken: OH MY GOODNESS I met her at Apollycon and she is seriously the sweetest person ever! She was so genuine and asked all kinds of questions. She really wanted to get to know people and That meant so much to me. I received an ARC of Passenger, but bought it as well because she was so sweet I had to support her! 
  • Alison Goodman I bought her book Eon
  • Katie McGarry I bought her Pushing the Limits 
  • Paullina Simons: New friends that I was lucky enough to meet at Apollycon could not stop talking about The Bronze Horseman 
  • Susan Dennard: I watched an interview with her in it, and she seemed so genuine and her books sounds interesting.  I bought her Something Strange and Deadly and Truthwitch. I have started her Trurthwitch book and I am loving it! 
  • Garth Nix: I want to start his Abhorsen series. The fist book is Sabriel. At Apollycon SJM talked about her this book inspired her way of writing and it of course was immediately added to my TBR. 
I have already started some of these books, and I plan on reading most of them soon since I have a week off next week. Let me know your author recs and I will add them to my list. Also let me know how you feel about auto buying and if it messes with your reading habits. 
Happy Reading Y'all, 
Ashley

Healthy Reading Snacks

If you are anything like me you love to snack. As I have mentioned on here before I have been working hard to change my eating habits. So here are some healthy snack ideas that you can try next time you are wanting a nice snack to munch on while reading a great book. Frozen Grapes  The first one if the easiest. You take grapes, wash them, put them in a freezer friendly container, and then put them in the freezer. I like to leave them in the freezer for at least 3 hours. Over night is best. Quick tip: If you have a soar throat frozen grapes feel AMAZING on your throat. My mom use to make them for me when I had strep throat.  If you want something sweet but don't want the guilt, this tea is for you. It is rich and chocolaty with a little kick, and no ingredients that are bad for you.  This is a black tea so it has CAFFEINE. In case you cannot see the tea's name it is Numi Indulgent Tea Chocolate Spice  Zucchini Pizza  What You need : One Me...

Back to School: Percy Jackson Style

As any fangirl or fanboy wherever you go you want to show your love of books. Being lovers of books we are a unique kind. We crush over fictional characters, they become our best friends, when they hurt we hurt. Books are our escape, our passion, our fun, hobby, friend, books are our lives. Pride comes with being a book nerd and it's something you should embrace. These books we love sometimes take over. We love them so much we want to be a part of that world. I wanted to help find ways for you to always feel close to your favorite books and characters. This week I wanted to do Percy Jackson because I mean who doesn't like Percy Jackson?! These outfits are loosely inspired by some of the loved characters from The Percy Jackson series or the book covers. I stayed on pinterest for hours (shocker right?) to find outfits that have simple pieces that you can find in your closet or wouldn't be hard to find for a good price at stores. I also wanted to find outfits that...
