The Book Junkie

So, I'm going to do something totally different here. As you all know, I also have a Booktube channel on Youtube and I do book reviews and other stuff on there. I have also done some Top 5 Wednesday videos. I decided that I will start putting those videos on this blog as well. Today, my Top 5 Wednesday list is going to be on here instead of a video.  The goodreads group link: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/118368-top-5-wednesday. So here goes. 5. Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead I read this because a friend recommended it to me. I only technically read YA books, so I wasn't all too comfortable reading this since there is a lot of mature content in here. I'm pretty sure that I might get back to this at a later date. 4. A Little Princess by Francis Hodgson Burnett I love this book. I read this when I was like 12 and I completely fell in love with the story. Sara's strength throughout all the ordeals she has to face never wavered for even a moment, even when...

Here is the link for the group: https://www.goodreads.com/group/show/136419-little-book-club Summary:  Starting over sucks. When we moved to West Virginia right before my senior year, I'd pretty much resigned myself to thick accents, dodgy internet access, and a whole lot of boring.... until I spotted my hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up. And then he opened his mouth. Daemon is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. We do not get along. At all. But when a stranger attacks me and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens.  The hot alien living next door marks me...
