My Monthly Adventures: January 2018 | Breaking New Year's Resolutions, More Procrastination, and Wrapping Myself in Blankets and Books

-
Hello, everyone! 

Sorry but there are no puns to share with you today.
Okay, maybe one!

While I was searching up puns to add to this puntastic post, I saw on my calendar that it has been February for twenty-one
pilots days. That means that this post was supposed to go up twenty-one milk bottles on the wall ago. Just to inform everyone, this is my mind at noon.

Anyway, this is an easy and laid-back post so I do not know why I keep pushing this aside and instead choose to write reviews. One of my New Year's Resolutions was to have my wrap-ups posted ON TIME. Emphasis on the words "ON TIME." So, let's just try to wrap-up January. Anyway, I am going to fly right through this wrap-up for January as I have to finish a few book reviews for some authors and a publicist I am working with. Thank you to all of you who are okay with my laziness and my terrible time-management.


Also, since I am super lazy, can I just copy and paste my list from my December wrap-up of why I do not want to write what I do not want to write?

Gossip & Drama
Last month was a lot of drama.

I kept on creating the funniest jokes in the history of human kind. I am now being called the Bad Joke Lady! No one except for the crickets who fill in the endless hushed air of the background enjoy my sense of humor. Also, I read 11 books so that was pretty eventful. Other than that, I basically wanted to curl into a ball in a corner with my cats and a good book. That can be described as my perfect vacation! Also, I finished the original "Will and Grace." The finale had, as the youth of today say, shook me to the ground. It left me with deep thoughts, which caused my family to get mad at me because I could not let the issue go. I think I will do a whole post concerning my conflict with the ending as I cannot let it go.

Oh, before I forget, it snowed! In December, Houston had gotten some snow, and just our luck, we got even more! Just look at the pretty pictures that feature my copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

Of course, Harry Potter is beautiful, but the snow sure does break records in how stunning it is! I just wish I could have thrown a snowball at my brother.


Posts Written

Again, we have reached the end of this wrap-up post for the many adventures I went through in January. I cannot believe that February is already upon us and March is coming up next. Sorry to cut this short again; however, I really need to get some other posts written up.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoy!

Love,
newbookcats

Ten Enticing "One Day" Novels with INCREDIBLE Pacing and That Caused Me to Forget the World Around Me

-

Every Tuesday, Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl hosts Top Ten Tuesday, a series of posts created to appreciate lists of books and reading-related culture. The theme changes every week and is chosen by Jana. Come join our fangirl/boy craziness by naming your top ten favorite short reads in the comments or in your very own blog/social media post! Books and their stories, no matter the length, are extremely attractive. After a long day of work or school, it's only necessary to curl up on the couch and read a fraction of a story before sleeping the night away. However, some nights, the energy to finish a whole book readily flows in your veins and is fueled from the adrenaline of the right story. It's the nail-biting adventure novel with the cliffhanger chapters or the horrific fantasy giving goosebumps or the short king novellas. Whichever book floats your metaphorical boat, I have curated a list to cater to the interests of most readers. Ten genres is definitely not enough to cover...

Four Books I Recently Got in the Mail That Caused Me to Scream

-
Image
Over the course of my life, books have always been a central part. This could be due to my mom being an advocate for reading or due to the several packages of books that come to my house at random times of the week. Every time a package appears on my doorstep, I squeal. My family says I outright scream bloody murder, but I think I just squeal loudly every time I see a shiny new book come into my hungry arms. Due to my past, I have followed my mom's footsteps and have been stacking my shelves with tons of books. Thanks to Tynga at Tynga's Reviews  who hosts Stacking the Shelves, all the bookworms, that turn into bookdragons later in life, have the ability to share their recent book mail. Today, as it is Saturday, I am sharing the four books I have gotten within the past month, which hopefully will make Four wish that he had some Dauntless cake. Let's get into destroying some perfectly good packaging! 1. The War Outside by Monica Hesse I am working with the people...

Dear All in the Book Community, To introduce myself, I am Nicole, or am known as newbookcats on the line, and I run my blog NewBookCatsREADS. Most likely, you have never heard of a book and cat getting along unless if the cat is allowed to play with the pages; however, on my blog, anyone who can appreciate the luxurious smell of a book or the tiniest sound you hear when you flip a page is my friend. I might dwell on the great smell of books for a while, but who can keep away from the sweet smell of a new or old book? Anyway, the book community has become a part of me; therefore, I need to give thanks to it through a letter listing ten reasons why I believe the book community is one of the best ones in the world. Gather your tissues and enjoy the list because books are a few of my favorite things! *imagine I have Julie Andrews' voice for just a minute* 10 Reasons Why the Book Community is Awesome: 1. You can grow in this community. I have only been a book blogger...
