Spotlight Saturday is a weekly feature, created by Josie at Josie’s Book Corner [aka, moi], dedicated to spotlighting and pinpointing some of the things over the week that have caught my attention more than usual, things I’ve particularly loved, etc.
Hello bookworms! Sadly, I missed out on Spotlight Saturday last week, due to a busy time in real life, but hoorah! I am back today to bring a ton of love and recognition to the blogosphere. There’s been lots of action of the blogosphere lately, and I’m excited to share some of these happenings.
Let’s get started!
Since I missed Spotlight Saturday post last week, I thought I might as well feature two blogger spotlights this week (but top be completely honest, I couldn’t pick between these two lovely bloggers to spotlight this week)!
The first lovely blogger I’d like to spotlight is Joey @ Thoughts and Afterthoughts, mainly due to his flurry of comments (I am quoting his directly!) all over my blog recently. Due to this, he has been on my mind and I am happy to see his thoughtful comments on my blog. If you ever get to know him (and I suggest you should), I can promise you, he does put effort into commenting, even if they are short bursts. And his witty voice on his blog is just the absolute best.
The second blogger I’d like to spotlight is Tanaz @ Bookish Freaks. Tanaz is wonderful to interact with, whether we are talking and fangirling over books, or just simply talking about general things on Twitter. She is a wonderful blogger and she’s so kind. She’s got a genuine heart, and she is always so willing to have a chat with me, and I am grateful for that. Definitely check out this lovely lady!
This title needs an ‘s’ on the end of ‘post” because I am about to, once again, throw a ton of awesome blog posts your way!
Cait @ Paper Fury shares some of the best bookish moments of all time – and trust me, you’ll be shrieking in agreement with her!
Bella @ Chic and Petite shares a mouthwatering recipe for shortbread chocolate chip cookies!
Giselle @ A Book and a Cup Of Coffee gets straight to the heart of mental health portrayal and awareness in YA.
Alex @ Fiery Reads gives a bunch of blogging tips for new bloggers – and trust me, this will really benefit you if you’re a newbie!
Jamie @ The Perpetual Page Turner gave us a list of things she wishes someone would invent (and I wish someone would invent these things too!)
Carlisa @ Confessions of Carlisa did the OTP book tag – who doesn’t love a good OTP or two?
Georgie @ What Georgie Did shared her trip to Prague, complete with some amazing photographs of the city that makes me REALLY want to travel there – seriously, READ THIS POST NOW.
Jenna @ Happy Indulgence reviewed “Symptoms of Being Human” by Jeff Garvin, saying it was a “great book about gender fluidity and had lots of well-researched and detailed information about the subject”.
Okay, so I really need to spotlight this book which just came in the mail because I am so darn excited that I am trying to write this post as fast as possible so that I can start reading it. That book is… *drumroll*
Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli
Aentee @ Read At Midnight sent me the book to read for her read along, but it needs to be read by the 31st and it only just came today! Agh, whatever will I do?! I guess I could read it all tonight and tomorrow… (totally not complaining about that!)
Ah, so many great things happened this week, but the one thing that has been a spotlight this week has been starting my new job. I feel so blessed and lucky to have a job, so soon after I lost my last one (because the store I worked at previously closed down, boo!). Now I am working at my high school that I just graduated from last year, as an assistant! It’s fantastic.
On the note of work, yesterday I was unpacking laptops, which involved slicing open boxed with a knife, and I ended up accidentally slicing my thumb in the process! That was definitely a spotlight, and a total shock – for a few seconds I was so stunned that I stood there watching the blood flow, because dashing to the sink to rinse it all out.
Once again, I am totally hopeless with my app exploration. Boo, to me.
Ah, music. I love music, I adore it. This week I’ve been obsessed with Me & The Rhythm by Selena Gomez. It’s got such a dance-trance type of groove and it just makes me want to dance – and if you know me, you know I am a horrible dancer.
“Kindness is more than deeds. It’s an attitude, an expression, a look, a touch. It is anything that lifts another person.”
Quotes such as these really encourage me, they truly do. I tend to be very conscious of the way I act and the way I treat people. I can’t help but be kind to anyone I meet, because the thought of making someone feel good makes me feel so elated and happy, it’s such a win-win situation when you are kind to another.
