Taylor Swift Book Tag!



Hello bookaholics! Today we will be doing the Taylor Swift book tag! Basically all you have to do is match one of her songs with a book.


1. Never Ever Getting Back Together. So, for this song I have to find a book series that I thought I loved, but ended up breaking up with. That series would be the Laura Ingalls Wilder series. This is a very old book and I read it when I was like... 6? But yea, my mom loved this series then I was all like "ya my favorite book is the Laura Ingalls Wilder series" I THOUGHT I WAS SO COOL JUST BECAUSE I WAS THE ONLY KINDERGARDENER THAT COULD READ! Now when I look back I'm all like "omg what did I ever see in this series
2. Red. For red I am supposed to find a book cover that is red. The Elite by Keira Cass 

3. For Best Day, I have to find a book the makes you nostalgic. Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. I love and miss reading the series. It was so perfect.
4. Love Story. For love story I have to find a book that has forbidden love in it. Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout. There's like this alien and he falls in love with a human.... FORBIDDEN MUCH??
5. I Knew You Were Trouble. For this song I have to chose a bad boy character that I couldn't help, but love. Peter Van.... Daemon Black from the Lux series by Jennifer L Armentrout!! He's like so stubborn and irritable and mean, but he is like so cute under all that! I love him with all my heart. HA did you really think that would've chose Peter? Yea, no.
6. For Innocent I have to chose a book that someone ruined the ending for. Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare. I saw on insta, a person sent me something in my dropbox thing and was like "Weren't you so sad when *insert name here* *insert really sad thing happening here*?????" WELL I AM NOW DUMB BUTT.
7. Everything Has Changed. For this song I am supposed to find a character who has been through MAJOR character development. I'm going to have to go with Rose Hathaway from the Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead on this one. At first she's like this normal teenager that wan't the attention and partying and boys, but then at the end she is such a strong, warrior-like character and I love Richelle Mead for that.
8. For You Belong With Me, I'm supposed to tell you my most anticipated release right now. That's gotta be This Shattered World by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, the second book of the These Broken Stars Trilogy (don't know the actual name for this trilogy SORRY!!!!).
9. Forever and Always. For this song I have to tell you my favorite book couple ever. KATY AND DAEMON from the Lux series. ILYYYYYYYYYY
10. For Come Back, Be here I am going to tell you the book I would least like to send out. I would never lend out books. MMMM NOOOO. Me and Maeve made a video about this in our last special treat video. But that book would be Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell b/c IT'S SIGNED. MY FIRST ONE EVER!!!! WOOOO
11. Tear Drops on my Guitar. For this song I have to name a book that made me cry. The book that made me cry the most was The Fault in our Stars by John Green. If this book didn't make you cry... what's wrong with you???? JKJK I love you all :-D
12. For Shake it Off I have to name a book that I love, but just have to shake it off when these stupid haters get in the way.


BING!!!
13. Stay, Stay, Stay. A book that you wanted to go on forever. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I just wanted to read about Cath and Levi's life and UGHGHG ME WANT MORREEE!!!
14. Last but not least, All Too Well. For this I have to pick out a book that should have more books in it's series... Look at that last picture ;-)
Thank you so much for viewing! I love you all! Thanks and bye!

ANOTHER Book Haul!!


Hello bookish people! I now feel like I have to say I'm sorry in every single one of my posts because I have been so bad as to not post! But anyway I am truly sorry, school has been very hectic w/ homework and sports and just UGHHHHH!!!
   Now to the haul! I did one of these a very recent time ago, but since then... I may or may not have ordered more books? I will include the books from last time so, yay!! Let's get started!

1) Origin by Jennifer L Armentrout. You've seen this before. But if you haven't, I will not make a summary because this is the 4th installment in the Lux series and NO SPOILERS HERE!!
2) Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell! OMG I love this book SO much! It's sooo cute! It is a contemporary novel. It is about these two misfits named Eleanor and Park (hence the name) and it is about their love coming gradually to them. That is all I am going to tell you. And IT'S MY FIRST SIGNED COPY!! WOOOO!
3) The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancy. This is the sequel to The 5th Wave so I will not be able to give you a summery. I have a review on The 5th Wave (first post *wink wink*) so go check that out!
4) Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead. This is the 5th installment of the Vampire Academy series. No summary fo you!! BWAHAHA
5) Last Sacrifice by Richelle Mead, the 6th and last installment to the Vampire Academy series. EVIL IS WITHIN ME!!!
6) Obsidian by Jennifer L Armentrout. 1st installment to the Lux series. I have already read this series and I absolutely fell in love with it. It is my favorite series and it has such amazing characters and romance and plot lines and UGH! SO PERFECT! Now I will tell you a summary of this one! This is about this girl named Katy and she just moved to West Virginia with her mom. When she asks her neighbor for directions, she finds out that he is so, totally, hot... Until he opens his mouth. He is infuriating and arrogant. This is about their adventures together and their steaming hot romance. This is also sci-fi. If you are not a fan of sci-fi you will still adore this book!
7) Opal by Jennifer L Armentrout. Yes the third installment of the Lux series. No summaryyyyyy HEHEHEU!
8) Half Blood by Jennifer L Armentrout... Favorite author much? This is the first installment of the Covenant series. The Hematoi descend from the unions of gods and mortals, and the children of two Hematoi–pure bloods–have godlike powers. Children of Hematoi and mortals–well, not so much.
Half-bloods only have two options: become trained sentinels who hunt and kill daimons or become servants in the homes of the pures.
Seventeen-year-old Alexandria would rather risk her life fighting than waste it scrubbing toilets, but she may end up slumming it anyway. There are several rules that students at the Covenant must follow. Alex has problems with them all, but especially rule #1:
Relationships between pures and halfs are forbidden.
Unfortunately, she’s crushing hard on the totally hot pure-blood Aiden. But falling for Aiden isn’t her biggest problem–staying alive long enough to graduate the Covenant and become a Sentinel is. If she fails in her duty, she faces a future worse than death or slavery: being turned into a daimon, and being hunted by Aiden.
And that would kind of suck.
I did not know what this was about so I looked it up on Jens website and this is what it said!

That is all for my book haul! I hope you enjoyed it! I did make a video for Wednesday but I have to put it up next week because I couldn't edit it.
LOVE YOU ALLLLLL!!!!! Thanks and bye!

RANT ALERT


   So yes, I love buying books online, it is totally fine! I love the rush you get when you look in your mailbox and a package is there for you or when you parent or guardian says "There is a package for you" when you get home. But it is so much more exciting to drive to the bookstore and find the book you want and bring it home with you. BOOM the little bookstores go... vanish into thin air then BOOM POW there goes borders!!!!!!!!!!! Then you are left with the 30-45 minute drive to B&N. Now I go to B&N with one or probably two books in mind that I am desperate to get. So I search those stupid shelves for 10 or 15 minutes and then find the book. 90% of the time, that happens, but then you are stuck with the other 10%. When I first don't find the book, I say to myself "Ella, it's all good. Just double check" SO then I double check and the books are still not there and I am getting a bit pissed. Then I am dragging myself to the customer service box. THEN this happens:
Me: Hi, do you have Lola and The Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins?
B&N person: One sec....
Me: ok ok...
B&N person: Is this what you are looking for? *shows Anna*
Me: No.
B&N person: Then we do not have that yet.
Me: Oh, ok that's fine. Do you have Doon by Carie Corp and Lorie Langdon?
B&N person: Nope not here. Do you want to order it in?
Me thinking: YEA I DROVE 45 MINUTES TO GET HERE JUST FOR YOU TO ORDER IT FOR ME BECAUSE I CLEARLY CANNOT WORK THE INTERNET..... Me Talking: No thanks.
THEN I walk around a little bit and I pass Looking for Alaska.
Me thinking: Don't have this, let's get it.
SO I go to the check out counter and THIS happens:
B&N person: Next!!
Me: Hi
B&N person: Hi, this is a good one.
Me: So I've heard.
B&N person: *starts convo about it then spoils me*
Me thinking: YEA OK I JUST CAME HERE TO HAVE YOU START A CONVO ABOUT THIS BOOK, SPOIL ME AND THEN YOU JUST GIVE ME THE BOOK BACK LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TODAY
B&N person: Thanks, have a good day.
PIPE THE CRAP DOWN B&N, PIPE THE CRAP DOWN

Sorry about that rant, this thing just pisses me off. Maeve could not post today because she is very busy. WE ALL STILL LOVE HER THO!!
Love you all so so so so much! Thanks and Bye!!

Book Haul!



   Hello Bookaholics! 
   So today I will be doing a book haul! But before we get to that I just wanted to say that I am sorry for not posting! School is a real pain in the butt.
   On with the book haul!! Just so you know, this is not like a 10 book book haul. Only 3, SORRY!!
   1. I ordered Spirit Bound by Richelle Mead like a billion years ago and OMG IT IS STILL NOT HERE!!! It is the 5th installment of the Vampire Academy Series. I finished Blood Promise today and LOVED IT, but stupid cliff hangers are DUMB AS CRAP!!! Breath, Ella, Breath...
   2. Next I ordered Last Sacrifice also by Richelle Mead and I am so excited because now I have the whole series in my hands!! It is the 6th and final installment of the Vampire Academy series!
   3. And last, but never in a million years least, I ordered Origin by Jennifer L Armentrout. It is the 4th installment to the Lux Series! I have read all the Lux books and it's my favorite series in the whole world, but I read them in the bind ups so I do not have the original covers. It only seems fair that I have the original covers if it's my favorite series right? Right?
    The only reason I didn't explain all of these books plot and everything is that they are all like right in the middle of a series and the last book in the series and I do not want to give spoilers so ya!
   Thank you all so so so so much! I love you! Bye!
   xoxo
