I normally don’t post on Sundays, but today is slightly special. It marks the day I have officially been book blogging for FIVE YEARS. My goodness, how time flies! I didn’t think I could ever keep up a personal project for that long yet here we are.
In honor of today, I decided to do a little something….
Continue readingI’m making this post super short because I need to pack (I’m in the process of moving right now), but it’s officially my four year blog anniversary! I can’t believe it’s already been so long since I decided to take a leap of faith with the internet and start writing about the things I love.
It’s been a hot minute since I’ve done one of these, so I thought I should bring it back again. Basically, the premise is to find the covers of books you don’t know anything about and try and guess the blurb solely based on the cover. It’s literally “judging a book by its cover.” I’ve done this before in the past, so if you want to check out my first two attempts click here and here).
The “official” rules of first impressions is that I take a bunch of books that I have no idea what they’re about, look at their cover, and try and judge what the story is about. Then I’ll read the blurb and figure out how close I was to the actual story. I chose only standalones or the first books of series to avoid any spoilers when I reveal the actual blurb.
Let’s get started!
“I suppose in matters of the heart, there’s no predicting how a person will or won’t behave.”
