Going with my no excuses mode, I'm going to just hop right in.
Sorry I haven't done as I said. I am going to try to be present more than I have been for the last couple of years...the key word there is try. I know I still owe a Chosen at Nightfall review, but I now also owe a Reborn review and an Eternal review. Seeing as Eternal is the one I have most recently read, I am going to post that review first. And here is the good news. I already have that review written! I just need to edit it and make sure it is what I want to publish, so yeah. I will have it posted tomorrow for sure and that is a promise.
In the meantime, you should go to my tumblr (here) to check out the Shadow Falls: After Dark giveaway I am hosting. I hope you all are doing well and here's to fresh starts (again...)!

I'm a Terrible Terrible Person. Not That I Didn't Already Know This.
Hi. Been a while. I know. Sorry. I'll try to not make excuses. So yeah.
I've done a lot of reading since I last wrote. Like a lot of reading. And the one thing I really want to talk about is Chosen at Nightfall by C.C. Hunter. But before I get there, let me say that I'm not going to make promises that I can't keep. So I'm going to start over fresh. I'm going to take this blogging thing one day at a time and hopefully I'll get you all to forgive me.
The first thing I would like to do it revamp my reviews of books. I'm going to work harder on them. I'm going to try and make them sound less cheesy and less alike. I'm going to try to make books sound more awesome, if that is even possible. So I might take longer on a review. I might even read a book twice before getting around to a review. And that is what I am going to do with Chosen at Nightfall. I read the book in one sitting originally while I was still taking classes at university. Hopefully I will be able to sit down and be less rushed this time around. The Shadows Falls books are definitely meant to be gobbled up, but they are also meant to be savored. Now is the time for savoring.
So readers look out. I'm going to be getting a new review out to you in the next week (not a promise, but a commitment...I hope). I am also going to get back to some more personal blogging. And be sure to check out my other blog (http://sherlock-doomsday.blogspot.com/). I have some writing that I'd like to put on there. Here's to a new experience from me!

And Now For an Extremely Important (not) Update
So, as you have probably figured out, my posts have been a bit all over the place and this is because school is kicking my ass. Well kind of. I'm enjoying my classes but I seem to have a ton of reading homework with all of my classes. This means that posting is going to happen when ever it happens - especially since one of my classes requires me to keep a blog for class (again) and that kind of takes precedence over the blog I keep for fun (aka: this blog).
In other news, I received my ARC of Whispers at Moonrise by C.C. Hunter!! And I have read it, so be expecting that review in the future (and by future I mean like later today or tomorrow). I have been completely over the moon with this book and I really want to read more. I absolutely love all of the swag I received with the book as well. I'm going to have to take a picture of everything and put it up here. I still have a bunch of bookmarks...maybe I will put together some kind of giveaway. What do you guys think? Let me know in the comments and maybe give me ideas of when I should do said giveaway. It might be after I reach a certain number of followers. Who knows.
Other things in my life are pretty normal. I am getting into the swing of things here at school and things are going well. Bad news is that there are massive wildfires near my home town and I really wish I could be there to see it (you can apparently see it from my parents' house). I warned my mom not to let my dad go fire watching...it didn't go so well the last time. Here are some photos that I took:
Just so we are all clear - I want to be home so I can see the fire and take pictures, but I am also concerned because a ton of people have been evacuated from their homes and I am sure that it is really hard for them. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those who have been evacuated.

Where I am the worst blogger ever...
Unless you see my Tumblr, then I might seem like the best blogger ever. However, that doesn't excuse me not blogging here. I'm just terrible at blogging...the same thing happened when I tried to keep a journal. It is summer now so I really shouldn't have an excuse.
I am going to say something that I'm probably going to regret later, but I'm going to try and get back to book reviews. I have read more books (because books are an addiction just like chocolate) and there are still books that I said I would review and I haven't. *sigh* I have my work cut out for me. And I really will try to blog at least once a week. I solemnly swear that I am up to no good. That is a vow I cannot break because it is sacred to Harry Potter fans. And if you know me, I'm a major Harry Potter fan. So here we go. Back into blogging and back into writing. Lord help me.
