Here's The Deal

Since school started the struggle to keep up with the blog has been inconsistent. So, this is an official notice that states that my posts will not be consistent now until probably the holiday times. I honestly don't know what to do with the blog, because my ideas have gone into other projects outside of the blog. Anyways, I will still continue in my blog tours, and any author requesting reviews, but they will take a while.

I have gone into a reading runt. It's not pretty. I'd rather watch youtube videos all day than read, and that really bothers me, because I've stopped reading fanfiction, which I adore reading every night. Also my book reviews for authors have been nowhere recently, and it's no one's fault except mine. I'm not sure when I'll be out of this reading runt, but hopefully when I make myself not do things, I do things. I know, it's weird.

So I'm inviting anyone that doesn't have a blog, or doesn't want a blog, but still wants to share their thoughts to email me at Clarareads@gmail.com . There you can ask me if you'd like to be a guest blogger, and it can be anonymous if you'd like. Any book you'd like to have your thoughts be read about is okay with me, but keep everything PG-13.

Another thing, I am always having these ideas about stories to write about, and need an outlet for them. I'm thinking about putting them on wattpad, and the blog, but if you have any tips or ideas  please notify me also.

Love and hugs,
Clara

Book Wish List

I have two weeks. You’ll shoot me at the end no matter what I do.

That’s what you do to enemy agents. It’s what we do to enemy agents. But I look at all the dark and twisted roads ahead and cooperation is the easy way out. Possibly the only way out for a girl caught red-handed doing dirty work like mine — and I will do anything, anything, to avoid SS-Hauptsturmführer von Linden interrogating me again.
He has said that I can have as much paper as I need. All I have to do is cough up everything I can remember about the British War Effort. And I’m going to. But the story of how I came to be here starts with my friend Maddie. She is the pilot who flew me into France — an Allied Invasion of Two. We are a sensational team.

[From the back of the ARC]

Varen Nethers is trapped in a perilous dream world -- a treacherous and desolate realm where the terrifying stories of Edgar Allan Poe come to life. Isobel Lanley, plagued by strange visions and haunted by the nightmares of Varen's creation, is the only one who can save him. Isobel knows that her only hope lies within a Baltimore cemetery. There, in the early morning hours of Edgar Allan Poe's birthday, a mysterious stranger known as the "Poe Toaster" will make his annual homage at the legendary poet's grave. Only the Poe Toaster holds the key to the way between worlds. But even greater dangers lie ahead for Isobel. An ancient evil, draped in veils of white, is watching, challenging her for Varen's affections. When Isobel finally finds Varen, he is no longer the quiet and brooding boy who once captivated her, but a dark force, powerful and malevolent.

Thoughts on ereading, ebooks, and ereaders

Lately I've been seeing around youtube book vloggers and sometimes on bloggers talk about the new day and age of reading, ereaders. We all have Kindle, Nook , iPad , and ect. many places. Or at least if you live in a large community or city. The lightweight device that can hold you entire library and more is a fairly new development and has gotten a humongous hate and love.

So I'm going to back track and tell you about the beginning of ereaders for me. This might take a while,and if you don't really care there are many book reviews of great novels on this blog, go check those out. Now, I was very skeptical like most book lovers about what eink and a kindle would be like for the future of books. I worried that in a decade or less that there will no longer be bookstores and libraries. I worry that there will be a time wear they relate books as a machine and not a paper story with a cover,  freshly printed smell, and smooth pages. That is still very worrying now, and I can totally see where you are coming from if you don't like ereaders.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? (#3)

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is started by bookjourney. 

What I Read:

I thoroughly enjoyed Hotblood and can't wait 'till the second installment comes out!! Here's the link to my review.

What I'm Currently Reading:

I didn't read much more of Solid this last week, but it is my goal to finish it for a review this week. 

What I hope to read in the future:

I started this novel months ago, and put it down, but I have a craving for something a little bit dark right now. 

An Update of such

If you read my blog on a daily basis you might have noticed that I did not post much this past week. Mostly because I didn't have the energy and nothing of importance was needed for the blog. I'm so sorry that I was unable to post a playlist today, but I hope there will be one next week.

As for my absence I've been reading constantly for reviews and a book tour is coming soon to Read'n'Write.  I find that posting every week day is quite difficult and that I will try to achieve that goal, but is not promising anything. 

In the sidebar to your right is a Media section where I added another place where you can communicate with me. It's called Formspring. There you can ask me any questions you want. e.i. book reviews, books I'm currently reading. Anything, but please let's don't be gross. My username is Clarareads if you wanted to look it up instead. Also please follow me on twitter:) I love to chat with you guys so if you have a twitter please tweet me. 

Since I've started so many books this past week, I see many reviews in the future and hope you check them out in the next week or two. If you haven't yest please follow. :) Thanks for everything and comment on anything you like.
