Introducing Me


Hello, so I have been so inactive on this blog for such a long time and I am very sorry about that, but in that time I have changed my name to my original name so I am no longer going through a pseudonym of Peyton Fox I am using my real name which is Jade O'Brien nothing else about me was a lie I am in my early twenties and I am from London so my name was the only thing I changed about myself and at the end of my posts from now on I will have my name instead of Peyton. 

Why did I use a pseudonym?

To be honest, I started this blog when I was 18 but I wasn't confident in myself and I wanted to hide behind my blog so I used a name that I loved from a old favourite TV show called One Tree Hill and the last name was just one that was quite common.

Why stop using it?

I am now 23 and much more confident in myself and I just didn't want to hide behind Peyton anymore she wasn't really any different from myself but behind her I felt like I could be true to myself without feeling awkward about reviewing books. 

What's going to change? 

Nothing except my name at the bottom of the posts and I am going to make a schedule and I am going to stick to it. I will start uploading again, because I really missed this blog so much and since I started writing this I didn't realise how much.

So Until Next Time 
Happy Reading

Secret Life of A Book Blogger Tag

Hello, so i saw this tag on Bookmark Lit a few weeks ago an decided to do it since most of my July posts are Tags anyway and i haven't done a tag in ages. And there are a few Questions that i am going to skip over purely because i don't have any answers for them. 

How long have you been a blogger?

Ummm, on and off for about 3 years . I started this blog in 2014 but it has been very on and off because of other commitments unfortunately.

At what point will you stop blogging?

At the moment, i cannot see myself stopping. I may take breaks from time to time but when i do take breaks i miss it terribly so i think i will carry on until i stop and no longer miss it.

What is the best thing about blogging?

Finding people who love the same things and connecting with them also sharing my love of books.

What is the worst part? What do you do to make it okay?

The worst part is probably having a schedule and not being able to stick to it, or it would have to be the fact i end up spending far too much time on my laptop.

How long does it take you to make/find pictures?

I don't use pictures a lot, but when i do i make them using Canva and it is so easy so it doesn't take long at all.

What do you wear when you write your blog posts?

It depends on the time of day, if it is in the morning workout gear, the rest of the day i am normally in jeans and a blouse and if like right now i am writing at night i am in my Pj's (Christmas PJ's in July)

How long does it take you to prepare?

Not long, but it depends on the post, spoiler reviews take longer to prepare for than spoiler free and Tags i just answer them as i write.

So that is it for now
Until Next Time
Happy Reading

Most anticipated books of 2017

Hello, and welcome back this is one of my new years resolutions to get back to blogging, so lets stop my waffling and get straight into the list.....

Always and Forever, Lara Jean - Jenny Han
To all the Boys I've loved before #3

I was so excited when i found out about this i loved the first two and they are perfect reads for the summer.


Throne of Glass #6 - Sarah J Maas

I haven't actually read book #5 yet because i have been in a really bad reading slump but this book was always going to be on my most anticipated list.

A Kings Obsession - Alison Weir 
Six Tudor Queens #2

I read and loved the first book and considering that the last book managed to make me dislike Anne i really wonder how this book is going to make me feel about her.


The Ship of The Dead - Rick Riordan
Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asguard #3

This was always going to be on the list along with any other book Riordan releases i maybe 22 this year but these books never fail to put a smile on my face.


The Dark Prophecy - Rick Riordan 
The Trials of Apollo #2

Read Above ^^^^^^^^^^ 


Riveted - Jay Crownover
Saints of Denver #3

Last year Jay Crownover became an auto-buy author for me and i cannot wait for this book, i need it in my hands right now. 


Henry - Tony Riches 
Tudor Saga #3

I have been waiting for this for a while now, i love the way Riches writes i have reviews up of the first two books in this series and i delved deeper into the way he writes so i will not go into it now but i cannot wait for this one.

Forever Geek - Holly Smale
Geek Girl #6

I cannot believe that this wonderful series is ending, i hope it ends the way i want it to and she ends up with the person i want her too because i have dedicated a couple of years to this series now and i just feel so torn i want it now but at the same time i don't want this series to end.


Lord of Shadows - Cassandra Clare
The Dark Artifices #2

This really doesn't need any explanation. 


After The Game - Abbi Glines 
Field Party #3

I love Abbi Glines,she is my main Auto buy author and this year is going to be so good she has gone back to self publishing apart from this series this series is going to stay with a publishing company but the way this book was set up in the last one i can tell it is going to be one hell of a book.


Like A Memory - Abbi Glines

This has been an anticipated book for me since 2014, when Until the End came out, we finally get a book that being my two favourite series together reading the synopsis and the two excerpts that were released today, i have been crying my eyes out because i have a feeling this is going to be an emotional rollercoaster and i will be doing a post later in the month on my theories about what is going to happen. 


Tell me your favourites in the comments 

Until Next Time
Happy Reading

2017 Schedule !!!!

Hello,

Until Next Time

I'm Sorry!!!!

😭😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Explanation 

I haven't posted on any of my blogs since September, i really have no excuses for that, apart from the fact that i haven't been reading to much in the past couple of months because i was participating in Nanowrimo and i spent most of October planning and i spent all of November writing. 
 
If you follow me on Instagram you will know that i completed Nanowrimo with over 60,000 words and i am very happy about that and now that is out of the way i have decided to completely re-vamp my blogs and start posting again on a regular schedule in January 2017. 
I will be posting the schedule once i have figured it out, in the coming days.

Until Next Time
Happy Reading
