T5W ¦ Books I Won’t Read. Ever.
Read more: T5W ¦ Books I Won’t Read. Ever.You know the drill: Top 5 Wednesday was created by GingerReadsLainey and it is a weekly meme in which a topic is posted and you compile a list.

Read more: Friday Reads: 22nd MayGuess who’s still reading A Clash of Kings? Oh, it’s me! The thing is… for all the A Song of Ice and Fire series intimidate me, and for all it took me three attempts to actually finish A Game of Thrones, I do end up with a real sense of achievement after completing one of those tomes.

“Guilty Pleasures” & “The Canon”
Read more: “Guilty Pleasures” & “The Canon”This video comes off the back of me watching Lindsey Rey’s video on the topic of guilty pleasures, a category which she identifies as being frequently applied to a books series she enjoys – the Vampire Academy series.

Read more: Meme: Making Up For MondayThis is largely inspired by ‘Making Up For Monday‘, a weekly meme created by Tiffany at An Avid Reader.
