Hi all! A lot of you may know me from Twitter as @Shybooknerd.

For those that don’t know me, my name is Stacie.

I’m a Stay at Home Mom to two wonderful kids and I wouldn’t trade a thing for it. I’ve been blogging on and off for almost 2 years and I’ve had so much fun doing it. (Well, for the most part haha).

I was previously reviewing on A Wonderland of Reading, but sadly, we had to end it. Since it closed, I’ve missed blogging so much.

I thought I would never want to blog again but I was wrong. I felt like a piece of me was missing.

That’s when Helena came to my rescue asking if I wanted to join her and Becky to her blog! I couldn’t refuse her offer.

So this is where we are. I am so happy to join them and be a part of an awesome team. I hope to get to know you all and make some new friends.

I love discussing books, especially YA! That is my passion.

I also read some Middle Grade since I have a 9 year old son.

I’m pretty much open to reading anything except horror, westerns, and non-fiction haha.

If you see me on Twitter, stop by and say hi!

Special Announcement!

Hey everyone? How’s everyone doing? I hope you are all great and reading lots of great books.

I have a special announcement today on the blog!

As some of you know, I had a family emergency and had to leave blogging for a bit. I’m still picking up the pieces and getting back into blogging. Which I have to say I miss dearly.

I started thinking to myself that this would of been a prefect time to have a co-blogger. It would of probably saved me a lot of headaches. And with that I would like to introduce to you my NEW CO-BLOGGER

I’m so excited to have her on broad and review for Book Nerd Addicts. I hope you all welcome this lovely girl and

Hello everyone my name is Becky and I’m very happy to be doing this, and I want to thank Helena

for giving me this amazing opportunity. I have been reading since 5 years ago, and everything started when I was super bored, I was on the internet and saw a lot of people talking about books and I was like why not? And when I finished my first book I started to buy more and more.

My favorite book of all the time is Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone. I love Fantasy, Dystopia and Contemporary books, but I love Fantasy more because I love how writers create this amazing new worlds and characters.

My favorite writer is Lauren Kate and every time she releases a new book, I buy it immediately;sometimes when I’m in a reading slump, I love to re-read Harry Potter, I love those books so much!!!

And of course if you asked me to recommend you a book now I will say The Orphan Queen by the amazing Jodi Meadows.

I haven’t found a book or character that represents my life, but if I could be one of my favorite characters,I would probably want to be Hermione.

My most anticipated books of 2015 are*drum roll*

Snow like ashes by Sara Raasch.

Hidden Huntress by Danielle L. Jensen

The Hidden Prince by Jodi Meadows

Queen of Shadow by Sarah J Mass.

Happy New Year! 2015 Has arrived!

Happy New Year everyone!!

Wishing everyone an amazing 2015 with lots of love, happiness and reading of course.

This year I didn’t feel like going out into the NYC cold. So I stayed in and celebrated the New Year’s by dancing around my house with my furry babies and books “HAPPY NEW YEAR” ha-ha lol. Just the right way for a book nerd to bring in the new year isn’t it. Curling up in a comfy chair with a warm blanket and reading all night.

With every new year, comes the time to set new resolutions.

Which, if you ask me, most of us won’t even keep. Right? But this year I am determined to accomplish my list.

In my bookish life I’m going to make a few chances and to help me with that I joined the

✦Book Blogger Organization Challenge✦

There are no “rules” to follow. This is titled as a challenge, but it’s more of a way to consistently keep organized. The guidelines are simply this: follow the month’s theme and work on what you can. There is no “failing” in this challenge. If you’ve done anything to work on your blog, you’re a success!

–Brittany

This challenge is just right for me. Hopefully it will help me stay on track. So let’s get started with the first year’s challenge:

JANUARY: Reading challenges & resolutions, Picking challenges, making resolutions, scheduling, forming plans, picking reading/blogging buddies,

BOOKISH RESOLUTIONS

1st. Read at least 105 books

Yes, that’s right, I’m planing on reading at least 105 books 0_o lol.

If you look at my Goodreads challenges thru out the years. You’ll see that I haven’t even broken 50! Yup, I know! …and I want to read 105 this year? What am I thinking…. But I’m pretty determined to reach this goal and I’m going to try my hardest damn it lol.

2nd. Comment on More Blogs
I love to comment on blogs. I just don’t do it often.

I’m either busy and can’t comment at that moment. Forget or lost the post (I know I feel horrible). There’s so many great blogs out there. I love keeping up with everyone and finding out about other wonderful books that weren’t even on my radar. So this year I’m going to to blogs via email (bc, that the only way for me to keep track) and every time I receive an email. I will comment immediately if I love the post and I’m interested in it.

3rd. Reading Challenges
Reading challenges! Boy is there a ton to pick from huh?

I never joined a reading challenge before. But this year I decided to join with a little push from my friend Nori. I was a little unsure as I never, ever read passed 50 books before!
But Nori said.
“Why not!”
And so I joined, Thanks for the push Nori, I’m very excited as you can see:)

Challenges I’m joining this year.

✦Debut Author Challenge✦105 Reading Challenge✦You Read How Many Books?✦ ✦Flights of Fantasy✦

4th. Join a Book Club
I always wanted to join a book club, but never liked the books, ppl would read or I have been too shy to interact (trying to get over it) I want to change that and so this year I joined 2 groups ….

✦The Reader’s Lounge✦Ya Bookmark’s monthly book club ✦
✦Will be using the tag #YABrokenStars on twitter if you would like to join in ✦

5th. Setting Up Posts Ahead Of Time
I hate setting up a post at the last minute. (This one, was a last min post lol) I always end up forgetting or getting something wrong. Either a link doesn’t work or I missed spelled a whole bunch of words. (I’m a terrible speller. English isn’t my first language. I know not an excuse) I just want the time to research and get everything in order. I would love not to freak out or ran around the house like a loony!

6th. Be More Organized
This… This is my top issue. Sometimes I lose posts from other blogs that I wanted to read again or comment. I’m so not organized in this area, and I miss out on a lot because of it. I thru rss by www.feedly.com, Bloglovin and E-mail. But I hardly check anything but my E-mail. Whenever I see something I want to read/comment, I move it to a folder and save it for a later time. But the problem with that, is that the folder is over 100 posts lol. It’s very intimidating.

If only all my books and blog posts would organize them self like this huh.

✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦ ✦

And that’s that…

Ugh, did I just say 6 resolutions? Really?

Ok, ok how about 3 out of 6 that’s not bad right? Fine, fine…..lol

Let’s be realistic.

As much as we all want to accomplish all our resolutions/goals.. I know, I will probably won’t cross all of them out. Life can get pretty crazy sometimes. I mean between family, school, work and somewhat of a social life (cough 0_O) it can get pretty hectic.

But the whole point about resolutions is to set goals for yourself. If you don’t have any resolutions, what fun is that?

By setting resolutions you get to learn more about yourself and learn new things in the process.

I like the point of crossing things off my list of accomplishments. It makes me feel like I can do anything. Sometimes, I even set resolutions with rewards!! To give a little push to complete them.

So, when you cross that goal off your list. You can get to say

“Yes, I did it! I can reward myself with a truck full of books. “

lol, jk or maybe not ha-ha.

A New Year is here and it inspires people and gives them hope for a new beginning

So set your resolution/goals. Even if it’s just one small one. You’ll be glad you did.

“What’s your reading challenge this year?”
“Do you comment as often as you’ll like?”
“What reading challenges are you joining this year?”
“What book clubs have you joined this year?”
“Are you a last minute poster?”
“How do you organize your post?”

“What resolution/goals will you be setting for yourself this year?”
Let me know below and link up. I’ll make sure to leave you some comment love in return.

Have a Happy New Year!
xoxo
