The Rules

Thank the person who nominated you and add a link to their blog
Answer the ten questions asked on this post
Nominate at least five people to do it also

Top 3 Book Pet Hates – I’d have to agree with Katie @NeverNotReading. I really don’t like it when they change book covers in the middle of the series. Even if the new covers are gorgeous… it just annoys me so much because then I’d have to buy the new ones, so that all my books will match (I hate it when my books don’t!). Speaking of covers, I dislike CoverPornBooks with a passion. I do judge a book by it’s cover, but hate it when the books have such mesmerizing and creative covers, but the story is far from being beautiful or great… Just no!! It also really bothers me when a book starts out really strong and get me so excited and intrigued and then just go downhill to blahhhhhh… That’s the worst betrayal of all.

Perfect Reading Spot – I pretty much read anywhere because I like using any free time I have to catch up on my TBR. (You all know how behind I am) At my desk if I need to take a little break from work or if it’s slow, in the car/Uber, at restaurants while waiting for food, in the train, in the bathroom, while waiting in line at theme parks… BUT my perfect reading spot will always be on my bed, with a cozy blanket, scented candles, and a hot cup of tea or coffee.

3 Book Confessions – I own more books (physical and ebooks) than books I’ve read. If I LOVE a book A LOT, then I’ll buy multiple copies/editions of that book. I still haven’t finished reading Harry Potter! (I read the first book in college, but never got to the others. I do have all the books, love the movies and buy HP merchandise so one of these days, I’ll just marathon the entire series).

Last Time You Cried Reading a Book – Last time would be when I read A Short History of the Girl Next Door by Jared Reck. I just didn’t expect the plot twist and my heart broke into pieces. I literally had to stop reading a few times cause I was crying so much.

Number of Books on Your Bedside Table– I don’t really have a bedside table. I do have a small headboard bookcase. I think there’s about 10-15 books on it.

Favorite Reading Snack – If I’m craving something sweet, then definitely Chocolate Orange Milano Cookies or soft-baked chocolate chip cookies. If I’m craving something salty, then Kettle cooked Salt and Vinegar chips or regular Lays potato Chips.

3 Books You’d Recommend to Anyone – Definitely the Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer, the Doon Series by Lorie Langdon and Carey Corp, and The Young Elites Series by Marie Lu.

A Picture of Your Favorite Bookshelf – Since my bookshelves look like a mess right now, here’s the last picture I took (on one side of my room) a few months ago. It hasn’t been this organized in a long time.

How Much Books Mean To You (in 3 words) – Books are MAGIC

Biggest Reading Secret – I really don’t like lending my books to ANYONE because I get so anxious and scared that my book will get dirty, damaged or worse. BUT I do let friends borrow… it just pains me a little bit… okay a lot actually. I just don’t like being separated from my loves.

Tagging these lovelies and anyone else who wants to do this!

Welcome to the Cover Reveal for

Right Kiss. Wrong Guy. (Offsides #2)
by Natalie Decker

presented by Swoon Romance!

Be on the lookout for this upcoming title!

What do you think of the cover?

You’d think a girl with the most romantic name in the world would have her pick of boyfriends.

But Valentine’s Day sucks when you’re single. Just ask Juliet Valentine, whose last name happens to also be the name of the most dreaded made-up holiday ever.

A romantic at heart, this year is especially hard on Juliet. Her sister, Layla, is in a new relationship, her mom’s match-making business is doing great, and her school’s new fundraiser is “Love-Grams.”

Juliet’s miserable, a little jealous, and lonely.

Quarterback Jared Black is the most popular guy in school. A star athlete, Jared tops the most-eligible bachelor list year after year. But to Juliet Valentine, he’s all but invisible. She isn’t impressed.

Jared’s never had to work hard to get the attention of a girl before. Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and he’s determined to ask Juliet out. After all, if Tyler can win over Layla, Jared ought to have a shot with Layla’s sister.

Unlike Tyler and Layla, charm, flattery and good looks won’t work on Juliet. So with the V-Day dance coming up, Jared uses the school’s Love-Grams to let Juliet know how he feels. Should be simple enough, right?

Wrong. Each attempt ends up either in the trash or thrown in someone’s face. Juliet won’t play his game.

Now, without a date to the dance Jared realizes it’s going to take a Hail Mary to win the girl of his dreams.

But she believes in seeing the world in a different light at all times. Her first passion for writing started at age twelve when she had to write a poem for English class. However, seventh grade wasn’t her favorite time and books were her source of comfort. She took all college prep classes in High school, and attended the University of Akron. Although she studied Mathematics she never lost her passion for writing or her comfort in books. She’s a mean cook in the kitchen, loves her family and friends and her awesome dog infinity times infinity. If she’s not writing, reading, traveling, hanging out with her family and friends, then she’s off having an adventure. Because Natalie believes in a saying: Your life is your own journey, so make it amazing!
