It’s Our 4-Year Blogoversary ! + Giveaway
Books and Sensibility turned 4 this month ! How did this happen ? This has been a marathon year for us. I started a romance site, we took on BEA 2015 and were profiled on a local news website.
Jess and I started the blog in Fall 2011 when Jess wanted to write tongue and cheek recaps of The Mortal Instruments Series.

Unboxing Book Riot YA Quaterly Box #02
Last week I sat down and opened up my YA Quarterly Box from Book Riot.com. This box featured a set of YA contemporaries with female leads as well as some fun bookish accessories. I’ll reveal the items below and you can watch me unbox it here
Books
Chasing Shadows Swati Avasthi
I did a quick flip through this book sand it looks like a combination of prose and images. I’ve been wanting to get into graphic and visual novels so this might be a great combo for me.
Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour
First of all I like the lightness on this cover and the font is very dynamic. I’ve seen the cover online but it looks better IRL. In this novel a girl gets carried away by a mysterious letter writer.
A Sense of The Infinite by Hilary T Smith
Released earlier this summer this book is about a girl dealing with the tough stuff in life. It’s been a while since I’ve jumped into the contemporary boat, so this could fill that gap.
Bookish Items.
- LED Clip Light by French Bull (I’m totally clipping this to my Kindle for nighttime reading)
- 50 Assorted Library Cards by Knot and Bow
- Hilary T. Smith Signed Book Plate
- A Sense Of The Infinite Postcards (3)
Final Thoughts
Once again, I was happy that these were books I wasn’t overly familiar with and didn’t already own. I see myself using the library cards as bookmarks or to take notes for reviews. Over all this box appealed to me more than the last box.
