I love to talk about books (obviously, since I started a book blog!), and learning about other people’s book preferences. I found this tag through Tomes with Tea and Bookish in Bed and thought that this would be a really fun tag to try! So, here we go with the A to Z Book Tag!
Seventeen-year-old Emily likes her life the way it is: doting parents, good friends, good school in a safe neighborhood. Sure, she’s curious about her biological father—the one who chose life in a motorcycle club, the Reign of Terror, over being a parent—but that doesn’t mean she wants to be a part of his world. But when a reluctant visit turns to an extended summer vacation among relatives she never knew she had, one thing becomes clear: nothing is what it seems. Not the club, not her secret-keeping father and not Oz, a guy with suck-me-in blue eyes who can help her understand them both.
I found this tag through Lost In A Story and Fire and Rain Books, and I thought that it sounded like it would be a lot of fun! (Make sure to go check out their blogs, they are fabulous!) I’m always curious about how others choose/find their books, so I figured I would share with you how I find mine! So, without further ado, let’s do this thing!

I discovered the magical world of book subscription boxes last year, and I have not looked back! This is such an amazing way to discover new books, as well as receive some really great bookish swag!
I have decided that I am going to start trying out a different book box every month or so in order to find which one is my favorite! There are so many of them out there! OwlCrate has been my longest running book box subscription, so it seemed fitting to post my first ‘unboxing’ with their February box!
