Features

Hiya! For those of you who don't know about the features I post and what they are... here is a list and a brief description of them. Under them are challenges that I created for myself, to force me to create posts and not to leave alone my blog too much time. Red are failed challenges, and Blue ones are completed.

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they will post a new Top Ten list that one of their bloggers over at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join!

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. I will try to post the most nearby book to be released that I'm (not) so patiently waiting for and if I don't post anything a week, well, there wasn't anything cool for me that week. But there may be a case that I post more than one book, I never know.

2017 Challenge: post every Wednesday of the year. COMPLETED

Ohhh! You know, and if you don't you'll know now, that I LOVE, love, LoVe music. Just as I live and breathe words, I live and breathe music. Those two things are just part of me as any other organ in my body. As you can see in my Music page, I hear music while reading! My Thursdays will become from now on... Thursday Tracks day!

DISCONTINUED MEMES, BUT ENJOY SEE THE POSTS

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: Grab your current read; open to a random page; share two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page; BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!); and Share the title & author, too, so that other people can add the book to their TBR lists if they like your teasers!

From the book you’re currently reading, or one you just finished, tell us what made you SWOON. What got your heart pounding, your skin tingling, and your stomach fluttering.

Shout it out on Twitter with the hashtag #YABound, post it here in the comments, or grab the steamy button and share it on your blog. We want to know!
