Sooo...honestly I do not think I am very drawn in by pink covers. I haven't really read many with covers that are mostly or have a lot of pink on the covers. The majority also seems to be romance novels. Go figure ;)




And just for fun! Here is a painting I did that has "PINK" in it ;)

Goal Check for 2017
I always want to do fun little challenges but I know myself and I just need to focus on one thing. So for 2017 I just decided to work on my reading challenge of reading 100 books. 

I did it with time to spare. I did read a couple after the 100 books, but I am saving the reviews for 2018 since I wanted to focus this last week on other posts. I am proud of myself. 

Click here to view my 100 book challenge.

HAPPY 2018 BY THE WAY!

Books Disappointments of 2017


The cover is so beautiful and it had an original plot. I was so intrigued, but I was so let down.  











Another one were it wasn't horrible. It was just meh. Some good parts, some horrible parts. I was really looking forward to this one and I ended up disappointed in the end.










This seemed like it would be a contender for Best Book of the Year, but alas, it fell horribly short. It had all the elements, but I think the author tried too much and it was boring. 

I had heard SO many amazing things about this one. When I finally found a copy I had jumped for joy, but alas....I ended up being highly disappointed. I feel like this was the biggest disappointment of the year for me.
