But, I am much more understanding of them then when I first got one and would more or less fly off the handle! I understand now that not everyone is going to like a book, and I don't even like every book for that matter. One thing I do when I'm feeling extra bad about a bad review is I go on Goodreads and read all the 1 and 2 star reviews from my favorite book. It puts things into perspective a little more. I also re-read my best 4 and 5 star reviews, and try to be thankful for those people even more! :)(less)

It's the same feeling as getting the thing you wanted most for Christmas, getting everything on your Birthday list, and also getting that dress you've had your eye on at the store for a few months ON SALE! It's basically the best feeling in the world! <3(less)

2015...looking back!

Hello everyone!

Now that it is officially 2016 I wanted to take a moment and look back at last year. It was a year of many new things, and I am still kind of shocked at all that I was able to accomplish! To make it easy, here are the 5 things I am most excited and proud of:
