Q: Share something you’ve learned about book blogging or just blogging in general in the last month.

I've learnt many many things in the process of blogging. In the past month, I've learnt how to do things such as the slider that features my latest posts. It was excruciatingly hard but it wasn't too bad. I know, paradox but it was only hard because I'm a perfectionist when it comes to my blog. My experience with blogging has been amazing because I've learnt how to do so many things with blog design. I'm Asian, which makes me really cheap, which means I still have yet to pay someone to do my blog design. I'm guess I'm glad I never did though because otherwise, I would've never learnt how to do things like my blockquote, slider and how to use Photoshop CS6. Just while I'm talking about blog design, just a reminder that I offer free blog designing for all the simple stuff. If there are any elements on my blog that you'd like to see on yours, feel free to contact me.

I know that weekly memes are meant to be forever. I feel really bad 'quitting' but at this point, I don't want to continue doing the Feature and Follow Friday posts. I still and always will follow back anyone who lets me know that they have a blog. Nowadays, I have so many posts that I have to do and this post takes up a day of what could be a different post. I don't like posting too much on one day. Once again, I will still follow back everyone because I love my followers, I've just decided that I don't want to do these posts again. Farewell guys. Especially to Jessica @ a GREAT read who manages to leave a comment on every single one of these posts.

You can continue to leave comments on this post and I will follow you back.

Q: Back to School time! Create a reading list for the imaginary English Lit class you'll be teaching this semester.

After a lot of thinking, I thought I'd do an author study kind of thing. If I was teaching an imaginary English Lit class (which by the way, I have no idea about since I live in Australia), I would have to expose them to John Green! His not my all time favourite author but I don't think Nicholas Sparks books would be appropriate for school. Even though John Green explores a lot of scary themes, I still think that his writing is amazing. I still have yet to meet anyone who doesn't like his books. I've read all his books except for The Abundance of Katherines which I really do need to read one day.

Like normal, I love all my followers. I just hope you guys stay loyal. If you like my blog, feel free to follow whichever way is easiest for me. Don't forget to drop your links in the comments so that I can check out your blog too!

Feature and Follow Friday #13: Bad Books

Q: How do you handle a book you don’t like? Do you DNF or do you power through?

I normally try my very hardest to power through the books. I think I've only ever marked 3 books as 'Did Not Finish'. Those books were Stolen, A Game of Thrones and The Time Traveler's Wife. Most of the time, I push through because I feel like I have a responsibility to finish them.

I love all my followers no matter how you follow. Just do what's easiest for you! Also, I hope you can maybe check out some of my other posts as well. Finally, one last favor, I hope you can vote in the poll, located in the sidebar, to let me know which comment system is your favourite.

Q: What do you do with your books after you are done reading them?

Since I read books from the library, well after I read them, I return them. It's sad but true. I also read e-books and so I just leave them there on my device. Being the weird person I am, after I read books that I own, I put them in a drawer. I know what you're thinking but yeah, I have a book draw.

Like normal, I appreciate all followers no matter how you want to follow. All my links can be found in the FF button. They are also in sidebar or in my header.

Q: Where is the best destination reading spot for you? 

Other than at home I really don't read anywhere else. My perfect destination would be at a beach or a nice park. Really though, the only other place I read that's not at home is on the train and I wouldn't really consider that the best destination read spot. My comfy couch or bed is perfect enough for me.

Q: PHOTOBOMB!!! Photobomb a picture with your favorite book. Share it of course.

My favourite book of all time is probably The Sea of Tranquility by Katja Millay. I was trying to think of an awesome way to photobomb a picture but in the end I just did a selfie because I'm uncreative. Oh well. Hope you enjoy! I don't have the hard copy so I cheated and used my tablet.

Sit Tight Sunday #1: City of Bones Soundtrack

Today I have super exciting news. Well it's not that exciting but I'm pretty happy to be announcing a new blog feature. Basically, every Sunday, I'll be featuring something I'm waiting to come out. Now it's not necessarily a blog hop but if you'd like to join in, by all means do so. The reason I'm not participating in the Waiting on Wednesday blog hop is because it is targeted towards books and books only. Sit Tight Sunday is for me to be able to do music that I'm waiting for. If I ever felt like it, I could do a book as well and if your a blogger with a different theme, you can do anything. I've been neglecting music on my blog and this is my way of bringing it back. Like always, please don't be afraid to leave me recommendations because I'd really really love some. I want to listen to music that my readers listen to. If you have a genre or artist you love, let me know!
Welcome to Sit Tight Sunday by Music Plus Books.



Genres: Pop, Music
Released: 20 August 2013
Republic Records




For the very first Sit Tight Sunday, I'm featuring the City of Bones Soundtrack. Republic Records has released three sneak peek snippets of SoundCloud. What I'm most excited for is Demi Lovato's song Heart By Heart. The snippet proves that it will definitely be an absolutely wonderful song. The album will also have a song by Zedd called Into The Lair. It's definitely different to Clarity but I love EDM. I'm also anticipating Colbie Caillat's and Jessie J's songs. I guess you could call this a double feature since I'm also waiting for the City of Bones movie itself coming out in late August.

 Q: Happy Mother's Day! Who is your favorite mom from fiction?

Most people are choosing Mrs. Weasley from Harry Potter or Mrs. Bennet from Pride & Prejudice. Now I know that someone will probably hunt me down for this but to be honest, I've read neither. I know, where is my life? But I've just never felt the urge to read either. So my answer has to be Clary's mum (I'm Australian, it's a u not an o) from The Mortal Instruments. Jocelyn Fairchild! Though she's not a main character, she plays a vital factor. I love how strong and beautiful she is. It's where Clary gets it all from.

 I don't mind how you follow. I have GFC, Bloglovin' and RSS Feed. Whatever is easiest for you, I appreciate every single one of my followers no matter how you follow. I'm just grateful for being able to share my thoughts with you.
