Book Review: The Conspiracy of Us by Maggie Hall

The Conspiracy of Us was much more fun than I ever anticipated. 

I decided to give this book a whirl after seeing my friend Lauren's review on it here. The Conspiracy of Us follows our main character Avery as she is thrust into a world she never knew existed. She goes to her prom only to be taken to Paris and find out that there are 12 families (known as The Circle) that are descendants of Alexander the Great who rule the world. Avery is apparently  a distant relative to the Saxon's, a family that is part of the circle. Things kick off from there and everything is (obviously) not what it seems.

IT'S MY ONE YEAR BLOGOVERSARY!!

Hey everyone! Today marks my one year anniversary blogging! I can't believe it has already been one full year. I'm so thankful that everyday I have my blog. :D For anyone who has ever visited my blog I just want to say a huge THANK YOU. 

I never expected this blog to be such a big part of my life. My blog is something that I am so proud about and your open arms welcoming me to the community was more than I could ever ask for. I have been able to connect to so many bookish people, which is something I have never been able to do before now!


So all in all, I want to thank you guys for being such great friends! :D My experience blogging wouldn't be the same without you!

 Here are some virtual hugs for all of you. :D Can we also just talk about that first gif? It reminds me of those 80s exercise VHS tapes and I laugh every time I watch it. That is what comes up when you google search party gif! Have a wonderful day!!

Thank you SO much for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post! 

Happy Reading!

Top Five Wednesday: My Favorite Posts

Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I am participating in Top Five Wednesday, a weekly meme hosted by Samantha from Thoughts on Tomes. The topic for this week includes some shameless self promotion. Today I am highlighting my favorite posts I have done so far on my blog!

5.) Adaption Talk: Shadowhunters S1E9- Rise Up
Okay, this might seem out of nowhere, but I adore my Adaption Talk posts. They might not get the most traffic or comments, but I have so much fun doing them. This is my favorite out of all of them just because I feel like my personality really shines through in this one. I'm so glad I started doing these types of posts on my blog and I will for sure continue them!

4.) Liebster Award!
The Liebster Award isn't the first award that I received (that would be the One Lovely Blog Award), but it is one where I feel like my personality shines through the most. I always like it when I can include fun facts about myself with my readers. I hate feeling so disconnected and impersonal, and the Liebster Award did the opposite of that. Plus, being nominated for an award makes me feel so loved by the community, and this was no exception. Thanks again Lauren! <3

3.) Stacking the Shelves #1
While this might seem random, I am so proud of myself for doing this post. It is one of my most recent posts, actually. I wanted to add something new to my blog after doing the same weekly memes over and over again. Stacking the Shelves was a way for me to branch out even more. I also got a ton of traffic on that post for some reason, and I'm not complaining! Well, I know the reason. The day that I did that post my friend Denise from The Bibliolater did a post of her newest favorite blogs and I was listed. Thanks again Denise!!! You rock! :D

2.) Book Review: The Unexpected Everything
I love my review post for The Unexpected Everything for two reasons. Not only do I think it is one of my most well written reviews, but I was able to connect to more people because of the unique experience I took part in. I was part of the Review Train this year, and I absolutely loved the experience. Thanks again to Brittany from Space Between the Spines for hosting such a great and unique event! I got to meet a ton of more bloggers, and it was a great way to start off the summer.

1.) Discussion: Am I Becoming Too Harsh of a Critic?
This is the first discussion post of mine where I felt like I was being coherent in my thoughts. I had done some other discussion posts beforehand, but I am the most proud of this one because I felt as if I were able to get my thoughts across clearly. This is the latest post where I have put the most effort in to, also. I got amazing feedback from it and it was definitely worth the work. :D

So those are my favorite posts! If you did a T5W this week, link it down below!

Thanks for stopping by and I'll see you soon with another post!

Happy Reading!

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite 2016 Releases So Far!

Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! Today I am participating in Top Ten Tuesday, a meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish. Today's topic are our favorite 2016 releases so far. To be honest, I had a hard time finding a good amount of books for this post. So Top Ten Tuesday is Top Five Tuesday for me. I just read what I want to, so half or more of what I read isn't a book published this year. Needless to say, there are only five books that I have read this year that were published in 2016 and that I would wholeheartedly recommend.

Hey everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I will be partcipating in Stacking the Shelves, a weekly meme hosted by Tynga's Reviews. We share books that we have added to our shelves, both virtual and physical.
