Top Ten Tuesday (13): Blogging/Reading Confessions

by Abby Joy - 12:31 AM

Anything bookish topic under the sun. Hosted by Broke and Bookish.

It usually takes me 2-4 days to read 300+ page book. There are barriers in my reading time, 1. school 2. school 3. school 4. I really take my time reading. Some books I try to devour on one sitting (happens often especially with helluva awesome books).

Maybe because I am still new (almost 1 year) to this community that's why I sometimes feel a little out of the circle. I am still coping around here, but so far I've already knew and befriend awesome bloggers to keep me inside the circle.

I am good in commenting back, but I lack on the commenting committee. I do read posts and sometimes I hesitate if a simple generic comment like "Great review! I think this book is interesting." something like that feels insincere. But I am sincere! I swear.

I SUCK AT WRITING REVIEWS. That should be the headline OW! I just literally dump my thoughts in one post without even thinking of a pattern or format of how it should be. Then I'll feel a little jealous over some credible reviewers whose reviews are always comprehensible and well-woven. The scenario is:

*finishes a review* HUZZAAAH I AM THE BEST IN THE WOORRRLD!!! *awkward dance*

*reads someone's review* *slowly backs away* *re-evaluates life* *isolates self on a cave* *never go near technology again*

I really feel bad about this. I should do something to fix this evildoing.

*another shrug*

Sometimes I feel like I am the only one in this world who doesn't go all-heart-eyes on John Green's books. I feel uncomfortable because everyone around me loves his books and I don't. Even my sister nearly choked the hell out of me when I kept telling her I don't like him even his books. I was bored and unaffected with his books. The writing is good, but the emotional transfer never really happened.

Just like now, I didn't intend to write a TTT post. I just woke up today and thought "Let me do a TTT," and then this happened. I basically write whatever pops in my mind. I tried formatting a schedule once for the month of June, but unfortunately I wasn't able to conduct it. (loser).

This is like the bajillionth time I changed template. I tweak here and there. I am never contented of the widgets, graphics, colors etc. I hope to find THAT web design that will last for a long time.

It's sweet if you come to think of it. A guy who's head over heels over a girl, but the thing with most alpha males is that they they tend to be possessive and a little crazy over the heroines which turns to an abusive relationship. Perfect example: Beautiful Disaster. There are new adults with alpha males that have personalities I can endure, but most alpha males are excruciating...but hot. So there's that. Just choose one.
