Candy Bunny Reader

  With an updated avatar since I got a haircut!  The very first post I posted was the Book Blog Newbie Tag, which you can view here . What has changed in the last year or so? I am close to graduating from my master's program! I hope I can find a job in a library soon. Thank you for sticking with me these past three years! 💜

  I was tagged again by the wonderful  @books.below.stars   . As always, feel free to do this tag if you see this! 1. If I were a book... Love, Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli 2. If I were a quote... “Dear old world', she murmured, 'you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.” ―  L.M. Montgomery,  Anne of Green Gables 3. If I were a book cover... Mandy by Julie Andrews 4. If I were a character... Vivi from One Piece 5. If I were a drink... Boba tea, of course! 6. If I were a season... Spring 7. If I were a time of day... 10 am.  8. If I were a color... Three colors: Purple, Pink, and Blue.

While I am reading several books at once and I haven't finished any of them yet, I will continue coming out with more tags! This is another one I saw over a month ago, this time over @linnareads Instagram page. Here we go! 1. Morning or night: Midday, actually. I find I'm more alert and I remember more midday. 2. Audiobooks or ebooks? Both. 3. Fiction or nonfiction? Both! 4. Paperbacks or hardcovers? Paperbacks 5. New release or old release? Both. Honestly, I don't care how old a book is as long as it's a story I vibe with. 6. Emotional or happy? Depends on my mood. 7. Classic lover or hater? A lover!  8. Silence or sound? Sound. Specifically lofi music. 9. Bookmark or dogear? Bookmark! 10. Mood reader or tbr? Mood reader. That's all for now! What are your answers to these questions? I'd like to see in the comments below!

Wow. I saw this tag from @bookishmarvel back in AUGUST and I'm only finally getting around to doing it. Well, it's about time! The book above (Banner in the Sky by James Ramsey Ullman) is not mentioned here. I read this book when I was about 13 years old, and I remember enjoying it at the time, but I do plan on doing a reread and a review of it soon, so look out for that! Last 3 Reads: People we Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Cooney Among the Betrayed by Margaret Peterson Haddix   Current Read: The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle Future Reads: The Blue Castle by LM Montgomery Hoot by Carl Hiaasen Elatsoe by Darcie Little Badger As always, feel free to do this tag if you see it! What's next on your TBR? 

  I saw this tag also over a month ago at @paperbacksandicedcoffee 's Instagram page, and I decided to finally do it! The books in the picture above are other books that happen to be on my TBR list, but I did not have them as answers to the questions. They are (from top to bottom): King of the Wind by Marguerite Henry , Esperanza Rising by Pam Muñoz Ryan , and The Yearling by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings.   1. Next on my TBR: The Last Unicorn by Peter S. Beagle . I hope I love the book as much as I loved the movie. 2. Most recent addition: For my overall TBR? That would be Word by Word by Kory Stamper . It's a nonfiction book all about the history of the dictionary.  3. Most hyped: Overall? Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan.   4. From your favorite genre: Flip the Script by Lyla Lee . I really loved her book I'll Be the One, and I hope I'll also love this one! 5. From your least favorite genre: it's not that I don't like this genre per se; I just don...

I saw this tag over at @jacobthebookworm 's Instagram page about a month ago, and I decided to finally do it!  My last 5 star read: My Love-Mix Up by Wataru Hinekure (Manga) My favorite classic: Anne of Green Gables by LM Montgomery A book that changed my life: Where the Mountain meets the Moon by Grace Lin A book I didn't like: The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett A book I recommend to everyone: Just Ella by Margaret Peterson Haddix A book I'm obsessed with: Loveless by Alice Oseman A book I'm excited to read: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott Currently reading: People we meet on Vacation by Emily Henry Today was a short blog post! I just love doing tags. Have you read any of the books I mentioned? What did you think of them?

  The title says it all. Here's why: the majority of the books I read and talk about on here are actually borrowed from my local library. A very small fraction of the books I read are books I actually own a copy of myself.  I don't buy any books unless I've read it before at the library, loved it, and I want to buy my own copy. Or maybe I just couldn't find it at all at my local library. Other scenarios where I have my own copy of some book include: The book was already in my house, bought by and owned by someone else (my parents, a family friend, etc.) and then they gave it to me.  It was gifted to me, so someone else bought it with their own money. I or my parents bought the book a long time ago when I was a child. Maybe I've already read it several times and kept it all these years, or I never read it as a kid but I'm glad I kept it because one day I might change my mind and want to read it.  I needed my own copy of the book to take notes and/or annotations f...

 My very first post!!! Hi. I'm the Candy Bunny Reader. I am currently 22 years old and I live in North Carolina (any fellow North Carolinians out there???). I majored in Marketing in college, and I have two minors in Creative Writing and French. I am an NC State Alum (Go Pack!). This should definitely gain a lot of traction, yeah? (It will be embarrassing if it didn't. After all, I'm a marketing major). If you are reading this, thanks for coming to my site. 😀 Anyway, let's get started! 1. Why did you start this blog? Obviously because of my love of reading! I have been watching Booktubers and looking at other Book Bloggers for a long time, but it was only until now that I decided it was about time to make my own. I got a lot of interesting opinions to share on books I like, books I dislike, and everything in between. Also to talk about marketing, especially tips and tricks for marketing books.  2. What are some fun and unique things that you can bring to book blogging?...
