Book Spine Poetry



Rachel over at Beauty and the Bookshelf has created this tag called “get up offa that slump”  to help us all get out of our blogging slumps...

Because I haven't finished my Top Ten Tuesday quite yet, I procrastinated by doing this! and I might make this a regular thing, because I have so much fun doing it!!!!

And without further ado, I attempt to do some book poetry, and I had a LOT of fun with this one... Here are a few of the results... I apologize for the blurry photos...

Thirteen reasons why the serpent king unhinged my heart and other black holes

Perfect ruin echoes like trees, walking

More than this, trust me son, take the fall 100 sideways miles. The one, this monstrous thing a monster calls.

Go out and try your own book spine poetry! I know I had a lot of fun doing this, and will continue doing it if you guys enjoyed it!

Let me know in the comments what your favorite poem of mine was! Have you done this before? (If so I would love to see it!) Did you enjoy it? :)

Love y'all!

Bookish Things I'd Give A Kidney For

Because I just participated in Love-A-Thon I decided to skip the introduction post and instead link the post... here

I would give a kidney for the following bookish things...

Things Cody wants:

Alexandra Bracken novels (Affectionately named by me Bracken Books) to be delivered to me, as quickly as she writes them.

Also, I crave a story just about Jude solely for me because he is my favorite character ever. I adore him with all of my heart.

I want Kell's coat from ADSOM by V E Schwab because I love that coat, and Kell. Victoria Schwab is phenomenal and wonderful and I want everyone to read her books.

I want Iko to come to life from The Lunar Chronicles. She is such a wonderful android. '

I feel like I have so many other things that I would give a kidney for...

OH. To get to also read Becky Albertalli's, Jasmine Warga's, David Arnold's and Adam Silvera's books before they are published, because I love the entire Beckminavidera crew. They are wonderful, each and every one of them. Plus, I love watching their war over Oreos v Golden Oreos.

Most of the things I would give a kidney for are author's next book, which I will get eventually... but I also want to meet all of these authors mentioned above, especially Becky and Adam because I already love them as I have met them through social media, and I know I would love them even more in person! I hope to join them in authorhood someday soon!

I want to be able to time travel like in The Girl From Everywhere, but with less complications. :)

I need to be able to go to every book convention that piques my fancy (I mean does this really count? A better question is, does it matter if it counts?)

If I had every foreign copy, and first edition of the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas, and every Marie Lu book I would die, along with the Bracken Books. If they were signed, I would die. I would give my soul for those.

I would give a kidney from critiques from authors on some of my favorite things I have ever written, because I think they could offer such wonderful advice that I would truly appreciate.

I would give a kidney for Jesper and Wylan to get together. And for Celaena to be with someone other than the one she is with right now, because I don't approve.

I also want A NOVEL SET IN ROSS CITY, ANTARCTICA from the Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu because it was such a FASCINATING place that I wanted more of!




Things Jenna Wants: 

Jem Carstairs. 

Also, the Carstairs family room. 

I want a giant book that includes EVERY codex and readable thing from Dragon Age into one book. It would be so huge! 

I obviously want Tessa's clockwork angel necklace because who wouldn't want that? It ticks and stuff. 

Shuya from a story Cody is writing called The Little Ghost. 

A copy of The Last Unicorn (the graphic novel) by Peter S. Beagle (A signed copy would be a bonus, but is not necessary for the kidney.)

I want to own an entire series of manga. I mean, it wouldn't fit on the shelves, but whatever. (Fullmetal Alchemist, Tokyo Ghoul, or Black Butler, to be specific.)
