Top Ten Tuesday: My Bookish Bucket List
1. Attend BEA
Oh Yes.. I would LOVE to attend BEA and expierience all that bookish glory. BUT not just bookish glory.. BLOGGER glory too! To meet other bloggers in person and establish real relationships!
2. Meet John Green
I have been lucky enough to be in the presence of John Green before... at LTFOB 2 years ago. BUT I didn't posses any John Green books at the time. Now he is back again and I am attending his panel and what I HOPE to be his book signing afterwards. So hopefully this will be checked off my list soon!
3. Wizarding World of Harry Potter
I would love to go and emerge myself in what HAS to be epicness. However, it is currently only in Florida. They are however making one in Universal Studios Hollywood and I cannot WAIT because I live in extremely close quarters to Universal Studios.
4. Get More Followers
This seems superficial and I LOVE all 130 of you, But after doing this for close to 4 years now. It makes me wonder what the point of it is. I started doing this for FUN. When nobody read this and that was fine. So, with nobody reading it, I didn't have pressure. To blog regularly, to read books I was sent before their pub date and to basically do whatever. Not that I can't now, but I feel a responsibility to do these things... however, if I don't a following who cares? Why stress over it? Why feel committed? I am moving onto other things like Youtube Channels and I am wondering really if I should stay or should I go. So... if I can't get at least 1,000 followers or consistent comments/dialogue on here. I think I will be hanging up the blogger hat.
5. Recieve a fancy ARC box from a publisher
Again, getting superficial. But this is my bucket list. I am allowed to be a little superficial. I am BLESSED with being given the opportunity to read a lot of ARCs before, whether it be from NetGalley, Authors and some Publishers and I LOVE that. But it would be cool to get one that has all the pretty paper and notes and swag with it.. at least just once!
6. To Read All The Classics on My Shelf
I own a lot of them and they are nice and pretty and HUGE and tend to be bypassed for the newer and shinier books. So, before I die. I did to read them.
7. To Write a Book
I addressed this in the Ultimate Book TAG video. I am NOT a writer by any means. I try to put dialogue on paper, so to speak and it all goes to shit... but I have LOTS of ideas. So, I would probably need a ghost writer to take my ideas and make them literarily acceptable
8. Meet J.K. Rowling
DUH. Does this even need an explanation?
9. Have My Own Library
I mean adding books to my shelf is basically slowly turning my home into a library, but one day I will have a room with glamourous built in shelves.. covered wall to wall with books = ) Even a sliding ladder.
10. Donate to Libraries
Libraries and under funded and sometimes under utilized. Especially, with those evils electronic reading devices. So, I want to donate to be financially stable enough to constantly donate and support libraries. =)
That is all I can think of... but I am sure there are way more! Like Meeting Authors in general!

Top Ten Tuesday: Reasons I Love Being A Blogger
Ah! This topic is hard for me. Given I have been in such a book blogger funk as I wrote about earlier this month here. However, I can think of a least 10 reasons, I love being a blogger and why I am still a blogger.
1. People Think You Are Smarter
Anywhere you are, if you are reading a book will instantly think you are smarter.
2. Being a Part of a Community
Like I had said before this is something I am struggling with. However, I do know I am apart of this community and it is nice to know that people love books, just as much a you do. I mean it is tough being so smart! (ha ha)
3. Moments Like This.
When authors acknowledge your existence... because honestly, they can just ignore you on social media. They don't have to be nice.
4. & Moments Like This.
When other book bloggers acknowledge your existence.
*comments on the blog & youtube too, I just used twitter since it was convenient.
5. Learning about New Books.
I wouldn't read at least 75% of the books I do, if it wasn't for being a book blogger.
6. Meeting Authors
Yea. It rocks. If I wasn't a book blogger, I wouldn't read as much honestly and because of that I probably wouldn't care so much about Author meet & greets, but it is so much fun and such a great experience. Plus, I fangirl over authors like no other!
7. When People Ask for Book Recs.
Esp. family and friends or even if I am at Barnes and Noble or over hear someone talking about a book they are interested in and I have read it before. Being in the "know" and getting to tell someone they should read a book is pretty cool. Esp. when they like it.
