I’ve been thinking a lot lately about all the bookmarks I have collected over the years, and I thought it would be fun to share that information with you guys! I have quite a few bookmarks (some I even forgot to add to my pile to take pictures of), and all of which have been collected since elementary school!

My Least Favourite Fictional Couples
I can’t really say I have any least favourite fictional couples.
Most of the time I totally ship the main character and their love interest together, and If I don’t, I don’t like the book anyways and therefore, don’t like the characters for whatever the reason. But the main one I can think of now is Celaena and Rowan from the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas (please don’t hit/yell at me!). Now, I LOVE Celaena and Rowan. But as separate characters. They are two of my favourite characters in the series next to Lysandra. I just do not like them together. I personally like their relationship more when they were just really close friends. I don’t like that they could potentially be falling in love with each other. But, I have a feeling, in the fifth book, I may end up liking them together anyways so… yay! I guess it doesn’t take much to please me as a reader.

What Do I Think About (re)Reading Books?
Usually, I don’t like rereading books. I don’t like doing it because I feel like if I read a book again, I won’t feel the same way I did when I read the book the first time. I don’t want my feelings towards a book I love to change by reading it again. I mean, what if I don’t like it as much as the first time I read it?
This actually has happened to me before. I reread a book last year, a book that I gave 5/5 stars in 2013. When I read it again I didn’t love it as much as the first time and I ended up changing my rating to a 4/5 stars. I still really liked it, just not as much as the first time I read it. This made me super disappointed.
Lately however I’ve been desperately (thats right I’ve been desperately) wanting to reread some of my favourite books, especially the first two books to the Mara Dyer Trilogy. So this year I’ve decided to just try rereading a book (or two or three) that I’ve been thinking about rereading for a while now, just to see what happens!
Do you like rereading old favourites?
Banned Books I’ve Read
I heard it was Banned Book Week a couple of weeks ago! I thought I’d throw together a quick (short) list of some of the banned books I’ve read, to celebrate (I know I’m a little late!)! Unfortunately, I can’t take pictures of any of them because they are either at home, or I don’t own them.
