January Roundup : A month of artsy adventures!

So this month is a good month for me. Aside from doing another blog revamp that I adore, a lot of opportunities opened up for me and new experiences as well.

So yeah, you guys might've noticed that I also wasn't so active for the month of January which I will explain later on. Hihi

Review: The Distance Between Us by Kasie West

The Distance Between Us by Kasie West

Find them at:
Goodreads | The Book Depository

Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers studies the rich like her own personal science experiment, and after years of observation she’s pretty sure they’re only good for one thing—spending money on useless stuff, like the porcelain dolls in her mother’s shop.

So when Xander Spence walks into the store to pick up a doll for his grandmother, it only takes one glance for Caymen to figure out he’s oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and that he’s one of the first people who actually gets her, she’s smart enough to know his interest won’t last. Because if there’s one thing she’s learned from her mother’s warnings, it’s that the rich have a short attention span. But Xander keeps coming around, despite her best efforts to scare him off. And much to her dismay, she's beginning to enjoy his company.

She knows her mom can’t find out—she wouldn’t approve. She’d much rather Caymen hang out with the local rocker who hasn’t been raised by money. But just when Xander’s attention and loyalty are about to convince Caymen that being rich isn’t a character flaw, she finds out that money is a much bigger part of their relationship than she’d ever realized. And that Xander’s not the only one she should’ve been worried about.

Welcome to Jules Bookshelf a.k.a Jules de Aventura

I just noticed that I did a lot of blog revamps for Jules Bookshelf. I had 3 blog designs before this one, and I pretty confident that I love this one better. Studying in an art school made me more aware of little things that I can do to make my blog “look” like my personality. And that’s mainly why I’ve decided to change the look, again for Jules Bookshelf. I had changed a lot from who I usually am a year ago. Other than celebrating my 18th birthday, I also became more aware of how ,my reading books, has molded my way of interacting with friends. And as the year passed, I realized how I don’t just love reading books, but I’ve grown to appreciate indie music , art and games. So, yes my interests just became wider. And this is where the biggest revamp comes into place.

I’ve decided to not only revamp the blog, but to also REBRAND it. And Jules Bookshelf is now, Jules de Aventura. I can’t just talk about books, I want to be able to share some bands I’ve been listening to, games I’ve started to play and art I’ve been addicted to. So I decided to not limit my blog to just “book blogging” category. You’ll be seeing some personal posts popping up more often than before. Here are some posts I’ve been thinking about

• Chill Blues Sundays (Posts of Music I recommend)
• Game Review
• Art Galore
• Le Adventures (Places I’ve been to)
• Love Stor y of the Month
• Author Appreciation Monthly
• And some other posts I’m still thinking of,

I'm still adding up some things in the blog (like the follow button for GFC, bloglovin and RSS) so you'll see some things pop up in the blog.

I can’t thank you guys enough for staying with me despite my long 2 and a half hiatus. I was a bit scared that I can’t even get back to my blogging vibe, but thankfully you guys have been incredibly supportive and I thank you guys for that. Till the next post guys! :D

Hi guys! I'm back from the dead

I AM BACK BABY!

 

This is such an informal post, and I am so sorry for that but I just wanted to say that. I'M BACK!!

This has got to be the most stressful term EVER in my college day so far. And I fear that it will only get worse. I WAS SWAMPED with school work. Apart from doing 2D animations and vector classes the whole 2 and a half months that I was gone. I was also very busy helping out the student council as part of an Adhoc Comittee. (Yes I was a busy woman lately haha).

But being away for a whole term. WITHOUT EVEN OPENING MY BLOG
at all is the most depressing term of my life. I would often think of it and would want to just wallow in misery over not having time at all to open it. This is why I've been thinking of a regular blogging schedule that works with my school schedule to make sure that I won't let my blog go stale. I may not post regularly that much, but I promise to bring new content more often that I do.

And one of my announcements will be: "JULES BOOKSHELF WILL BE A HAVING AN INTENSE RENOVATION"

I've thought hard about what I've been planning for this blog and I've decided to make one big step for change in the blog itself. I'll give you a hint, it will involve a lot more than a new blog design. (wink wink)

As for blog hopping and other activities, I'll definitively be more active in that, I've missed reading your blog guys! And you'll be seeing me soon in your comment section!

Well that's that for now! Its good to be home.

Entangled Teen: Crush

Summary from Goodreads:

Trina Clemons needed the money. Why else
would she—the most organized, prepared student in school—spend the summer as a
nanny and partner with the biggest slacker ever? Now she's ready to tackle
nannyhood with her big binder of research and schedules. Just don't ask her
about the secret job of “fixing” the bad habits of a certain high school
player…

Slade Edmunds prefers easy hook-ups, and Trina is definitely not his type.
She's all structure and rules, while Slade wants to just have fun. Fortunately,
Trina has no idea about the bet Slade made with his best friend that he can
totally get her to unwind by the end of summer

Then the weirdest thing happens. There's chemistry. A lot of it.

But nothing gets between a boy and a girl like a big, fat secret…
