My Latest Binge #8: Arrow, The Mysteries of Laura, and Just One Day

My Bookish Itinerary


I really like to binge watch and binge read series! It is so easy to do. And so I want to share all my latest and current binge watches and binge reads with all of you! Sometimes it might just be something I'm watching or something I'm reading or both!

2016 Book Blogger Love-a-Thon
Hosted by: Alexa (Alexa Loves Books), Cee (The Novel Hermit), Hazel (Stay Bookish) & Mel (The Daily Prophecy)

It’s time for a tea break! In this post, you’ll share which fictional character, book blogger OR BookTuber OR Bookstagrammer, and author you’d want to have a tea party with and why. Feel free to go above and beyond by including more details about your dream tea party

I can't believe it is already time for the last mini-challenge! This weekend has gone by quick!

So...I don't like tea. I've tried several different kinds and have had tea different ways. I just don't like it. But I would still love to have a tea party where I drink something else. There are just so many characters, bloggers, and authors I would LOVE to have over for a party! So it was hard for me to keep it to just one or two.
