First of, what is the Love-A-Thon?
According to The Daily Prophecy the Love-a-Thon is an event dedicated to spreading positivity and love. It’s time dedicated to visiting other bloggers/Instagrammers/BookTubers, leaving a comment or two, making new friends and fostering positivity among the members of our amazing community.
I found her post for subscribing on her blog some time ago and I wanted to participate in this great event. So to let you all know who I am, I filled out a questionnaire.

My boyfriend has a blog and when I kept talking to him about the books that I read, he suggested I started a blog too.

Cheers,
Joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts.
Hello! I really enjoyed Red Queen and Snow Like Ashes. I hope you enjoy them as well when you get to them! I haven’t read the Shadow & Bone series but after reading Six of Crows, I NEED to read them 🙂 I should have put that on my own list. I hope you have a great weekend and a great Love-A-Thon experience!
I love your name! It’s so unique and pretty. 🙂 I have been wanting to check out Red Queen and Half Bad for a while. I hope we both enjoy them!

So glad you’ve joined in for this year’s Love-a-Thon, Iris! I LOVED The Shadow Queen. It’s an excellent fairytale retelling, and I do hope you get the chance to read it soon!!
I’m so excited for A Gathering of Shadows! I’m rereading ADSOM now 🙂
Jasper would be so good to have on an apocalypse squad!
Hi, Iris!
I think it’s so cute that your boyfriend convinced you to make a blog. OMG. It’s so cute.
I cannot wait until The Last Star is finally out. I’m kind of sad that there aren’t going to be ARCs because I want the answers now! Right freaking now. Have you seen the movie version of The 5th Wave yet? I haven’t, but I probably will soon.
Iris! I need to read the Grisha trilogy too. I’ve read Six of Crows, so why not Leigh Bardugo’s other books? (I blame it on my allegiance to the found family crew in Six of Crows!)
