Review: Eleanor and Grey by Brittainy C. Cherry

Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge...

The Secret

Book Blogger Confessions #8


Here's what it's all about: "Started in January 2012, by Karen - For What It's Worth & Tiger - Tiger's All Consuming Media & now co-hosted with my good friend Pam from Midnyte reader, Book Blogger Confessions is a meme that posts the 1st and 3rd Monday of every month, where book bloggers "confess" and vent about blogging/bookish topics. Feel free to share, vent and offer solutions.

Just keep it respectful - no bashing authors or other bloggers!"

Sorry guys I'm playing catch up with this one!
June 17th Topic: BEA, ALA. Have you ever been before? If you've been before, share your experiences; both pro & con. If you haven't gone before, do you participate in online events like Armchair BEA? Do you hope to go one day? Do you feel too intimidated to go? Are you jealous of the big book hauls and tweets during the events?
Sadly, I have never been to BEA. I SO wanted to go this year but the dates conflicted with my high school graduation. Sigh.
Never been to ALA either sadly!
Yes! If you've been share your experiences! What makes it worth it? Is there anything that doesn't? Are the books really free?
I was watching all you guys enjoying yourselves at BEA through social media this year and it made me so happy for all of you and I vowed one day I shall go! I shall!
Sometimes I feel too intimidated to go. Because I start thinking about all the super popular blogs out there and how they join in all conferences and breakfasts, and my blog...well it's not very well known. However, I do see it as a wonderful marketing opportunity. And I do want to pursure a career in publishing, so I think it would be a great place to meet people.
I am insanely jealous of the hauls, tweets, Instagram photos, you name it. If I see that it's about BEA I feel like I shouldn't look at because I'll feel sad that I'm not there, but I can't tear my eyes away. I want to see more!
Hopefully, I can go in the near future! I wish it wasn't so far away in New York though (since I'm on the West Coast) but it makes sense because that's where the publishing houses are. Nevertheless, it will happen one day!
What did you think of BEA this year or in general? Leave a comment, or if you have a post about it, leave a link and I'll come check it out!
See you soon,

Beauty Basics: Kat Von D & Influenster

  So I've been toying with the idea of adding makeup and skincare reviews to the blog because in case you've missed it, I'm a bit obsessed with both (I even work part time at Ulta just for the discount and access to new products).
