Tea Talk: Are You a Good Closer?

I haven't written a Tea Talk in a long time, and I really miss them!

So today I want to ask are you a good closer? What I mean by that is when you have a series you LOVE and the last book FINALLY releases do you read it right then or do you wait because you cannot stand thinking your beloved series will come to an end?

My personal experience is this, I get all excited I bog about the last book coming out on my Waiting on Wednesday posts, and I talk non stop about the book. Then the book finally releases and on that day I normally go and get the book as soon as I can! I start reading it, and then about 6 chapters in it hits me, I'm not ready! I'm not ready for my beloved series to end! No more adventures with the characters that have become friends I have to say goodbye. Sure I can reread the book but we all know it isn't the same. (Don't get me wrong I still reread my favorite books) Then the anxiety hits, what if this amazing series ends horribly? Many times the book I waited so long for, will sit on my shelf for months before I find the courage to read the last book in a beloved series.

Here are some series that I have been having a hard time with reading the last book

Every Last Breath

Isla and the Happily Ever After

Split Second

The Perilous Sea

* I know this isn't the last book in this series but I LOVED the first book so much my expectations for this books is BEYOND high, and that scares me*

So are you a good closer or are you like me and find finishing a series too much to take sometimes?

Let me know if the comments below! I really hope I'm not the only one who finds anxiety in ending

a great series.

Happy reading yall,

Ashley

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...

BACK TO SCHOOL: Schools in Books

This week on Back to School I wanted to help you guys feel in sync with some great characters. I wanted to pick some books for you guys that I love that take place in school environments. Now school will not be the main point or problem these characters go through, but they do go through some of the tough situations and stress you guys do at school. Some characters live on campus and deal with the drama of being independent for the first time, missing home, the struggle of finding who they truly are, drama, and parties. College is a hard time for many people because you are finding your own self on your own terms. Mommy and daddy aren't there to tell you what to do or how to act. Some struggle while others flourish. I HAD to put girls in this post that loved to learn and enjoyed the structure of school. I sometimes forget that learning can be looked at on a bright note. It's hard to remember that when you have 5 gazillion papers to write. I picked two girls I thought...

Review: Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin

Title: Becoming Alpha Author: Aileen Erin Genre: Paranormal Fantasy Pages: 267 Goodreads Overall Rating: 4.11 Published: December 17th, 2013 by Ink Monster, LLC My Rating: I can’t do that. I can’t turn my emotions off and on like that. I’m either all in or all out. And if you can’t do that—if I don’t come first, then for God’s sake, leave me alone. Becoming Alpha is the true definition of YA paranormal fantasy and I devoured it. Erin took troupes that are known in YA and ran with them in fun, plausible, and exciting ways while taking her own spin on them. I sped through this book and right after I downloaded the next book in the series because I couldn't wait for the two-day shipping of the physical book. At the beginning of the book, we meet our main character Tessa and her family. Tessa has an unusual gift and it has marked her as the odd girl out at and causing her to feel isolated. With her family...
