Book Recommendations: Books That Will Make You Goey Inside {#1}


Whoop Whoop! Book Recommendation Time!


I cannot express my love for Finding Audrey enough. Finding Audrey is about a girl with social anxiety and her healing journey. This book is hysterical at some points and heart wrenching at other points. This book has the best of both worlds. I really want Sophie Kinsella to write some more YA really badly. 


Since You've Been Gone is so perfect for summer or when you are feeling a little down. This book is about when Sloan's, our main character, best friend goes missing. Then, Sloan finds a list of stuff her best friend wants her to do before she comes home. And Sloan basically does them all.  Since You've Been Gone is super unique and the writing style is beautiful and deep. I love how much Sloan grows and becomes such a beautiful young person. This book is perfect for anyone and is like eating ice cream on a warm, lazy summer day. 


Okay, so can we bask in the glory that is the cover of Everything, Everything? You aren't supposed to judge a book by its cover, but this one sells it on the first glance. Everything, Everything is about a girl who is allergic to almost everything, so she never leaves her house. EVER. So, then this boy moves in next door and she does some stuff. Oh, and she reads some books. This book, guys. Everything, Everything was perfect in EVERY possible way. (FINE, I'll stop my really corny jokes.)The writing was so full of depth but also wasn't too dense. I loved how the characters developed and grew in this book.  JUST GO READ IT NOW!!!

So, I finished Emmy & Oliver in under 24 hours, and it's almost 400 pages. I almost never do that. EVER!! Emmy & Oliver is about a boy named Oliver who was kidnapped by his Dad for ten years, and then he returns to his hometown where his Mom and old best friends live. This book is about mending those broken relationships that were left in the town along with Oliver's childhood. Emmy & Oliver is beautifully touching and has some of the sweetest relationships, whether they be romantic or with your best friends. The characters develop and it's just great. GO READ IT!!


I hope you enjoyed this new type of post, and I really hope you go read these books.

    EMMY AND OLIVER IS FAR TOO ADORABLE FOR WORDS. <3 I seriously am not the biggest contemporary fan...but that book, afjdkalfsd it melted me. I loved the banter and the quirkiness and Oliver was just darn adorable. And Emmy was *squeak* one of my favourite protagonists of them all. ALSO SINCE YOU'VE BEEN GONE. Endless love for the lists!!

    Thanks for stopping by @ Paper Fury!

      I CAN'T EVEN. EMMY AND OLIVER BROKE MY EVEN. Emmy and Oliver was so cute, and I couldn't go into that much depth because I would shjshgjfd, but I plan on writing a review soonish. (Maybe next week?)

Finding your groove with journaling

Image
When I was younger, I kept a journal, but it was mostly just what I did that day, or anything I was looking forward to in the future. I have recently gotten back into journaling, but I am doing it a lot differently than I used to.  Before you start to journal, you need to figure out how you want to do it and then get the supplies to do so. If you're not sure what kind of journaling you want to do, I would recommend experimenting. If you are going to experiment for a while before you see what you like the best, I would recommend getting a thick and tall notebook. Once you figure out what kind of journaling you want to do (i.e. prayer journaling, bullet journaling, art journaling, collage journaling, workout journal, or just idea journaling), go out and buy a journal that you both like and would work for what you want to do. The only real guidelines I use when picking out a new journal is to get a tall journal if you are going to do collage or art journaling. If you are do

How Does Unique Formatting in Books Affect Your Reading Experience?

Image
How does the formatting of a book affect your reading experience? I usually enjoy unique formatting in my books, but I recently read the first half of Illuminae before putting it down. I quit reading Illuminae because of the formatting. While the whole book being composed of lab reports, wikipedia articles, and IM messages was a cool concept, it made the story hard to follow. Many people enjoyed Illuminae because of the unique formatting, and others enjoyed it because they thought it had a good story. The formatting, for me made the story drag and I had no idea what was going on until about page 150. The only part I enjoyed was the interviews with some of our characters because it was only then that you really got to see the characters. I enjoy both books that have unique formatting and books that have traditional formatting. However, I think that if a book does have unique formatting, the formatting should add to the story, not take away from the story. When I was reading I

Does This Mean I'm Not A Reader Anymore?

Image
Just by the URL of this blog, you can tell that I really like books, or used to anyway. Yes, I just said I used to really like books. As in used to, which is in past tense. This is the reason I'm writing this post. You may have noticed in the past few months, but I'm not reading as much as I used to. This is not because I have read too many books, or anything like that, but rather that I'm doing other things.  Recently, I have discovered that while I still do really like reading, it's not my life anymore. I used to read for hours upon hours a night, and that was what I needed at the time. However, right now I'm not  gravitating towards books as much as I used to. This is a good thing, as I am becoming more well-rounded with my activities, and I'm developing better relationships with my friends and family. I have gotten into many new activities, such as predictable things for me, like knitting and photography, and some other not so predictable things, l
