2015 #LoveAThon Mini Challenge #5: High Five!

The Book Blogger Love-A-Thon is hosted by Alexa @ Alexa Loves Books!
In this post, you’ll be sharing your current “high” fives (what’s currently making you happy) for the following categories:
  • Book
  • Genre
  • Author
  • Blogger
  • Bookish Merchandise / Book-related site



Book:

Hmmm...I think I am going to pick Winterspell by Claire Legrand. I read this book this month and it just makes me so giddy. I really love that it is a retelling of The Nutcracker. And I love how it was written. I love that it was creative and at the same time I saw The Nutcracker part of the story easily! I really enjoyed reading it! 

Genre:

Retellings! I LOVE reading retellings. I have become pretty addicted to them, and I hope that I will get the chance to read a bunch of them this year!



Author:

Sarah J. Maas! She is just so amazing. And if you read my valentines then you know just how much I love her and her books! 
Blogger:

A tie between Cassi @ My Thoughts...Literally! and  Brittany @ Please Feed the Bookworm. They have been there for me a lot this past year. I have really enjoyed getting to know them and chatting on Twitter. I love that when I have crazy ideas they listen and give me feedback, without making me feel crazy. They are both amazing and sweet. If you aren't following them already then you definitely should! :D

Book-related Site:

Goodreads. I just really enjoy being able to keep track of books I read, am reading, and want to read. I also started keeping track of books I really want and books I already have. I also enjoy being able to see what my friends and fellow bloggers are reading.

  6. What a coincidence, I'm starting Winterspell as we speak :D I love retellings, they are my favorite thing, and it's great that she decided to went with The nutcracker. I've never read a retelling about that one before. I'm going to follow your blog, always great to find other retelling-fans!
