Title: Alex, Approximately Author: Jenn Bennett Pages : 400 Genre: Contemporary Teen Publisher: Simon Pulse Release Date: April 4, 2017 Buy: Amazon| Chapters Indigo | Kobo *Received for review by Simon Schuster* Summary ( Goodreads ) In this delightfully charming teen spin on  You’ve Got Mail , the one guy Bailey Rydell can’t stand is actually the boy of her dreams—she just doesn’t know it yet. Classic movie buff Bailey “Mink” Rydell has spent months crushing on a witty film geek she only knows online by “Alex.” Two coasts separate the teens until Bailey moves in with her dad, who lives in the same California surfing town as her online crush. Faced with doubts (what if he’s a creep in real life—or  worse? ), Bailey doesn’t tell Alex she’s moved to his hometown. Or that she’s landed a job at the local tourist-trap museum. Or that she’s being heckled daily by the irritatingly hot museum security guard, Porter Roth—a.k.a. her new arch-nemesis. But life is whole lo...

Have you ever been in a book slump? Well lately I have been feeling that I can't read fast enough when I just want to read all the books that have come out lately! Maybe I'm overwhelmed with everything with job hunting, working too much and possibly stress of everything. As a book blogger reading slumps are the worst to be in. I have found that Netflix hasn't really helped me in reading too many books this past month because I have been obsessed with watching Full House. Currently I'm watching season 8 as I write this. For the month of June I plan on getting out of this reading slump by creating goals for myself to make sure I do not watch lots of Netflix. These include:  1) Try audiobooks (currently A Darker Shade of Magic) - so far its okay, but I feel like when I have the physical book I would be faster. But I do like listening to it in the car. 2) Have an e-arc/physical ARC on the go. - I want to get to As I Darken and a few other ones 3) Start A Co...

I am thinking of maybe starting a Book Tour that contains ARCs! If any authors or publishers would like to donate any books or negotiate anything, they can e-mail me at my e-mail which is on your left. If any other bloggers are interested in this! Support this, this is for all of our benefits. The goal for this is to send the book to one another for a week or so, then send it on to another blogger. I have been part of one before and that blog Paranormal Wastelands which was amazing! Its still an idea, but I still need support:) It will be open to all Canadian Bloggers
