The Bit

#blogtunes I Will Not Bow- Breaking Benjamin Feather- X Ambassadors Polaroid- Imagine Dragons Hold Back the River- James Bay Way Down We Go- Kaleo Loveless- X Ambassadors   I know what you're thinking, "Oh my Gosh!  Alyx actually got her book blog up before the end of the month!"  Hold your enthusiasm; I only got two books in this month.  In my defense, again, I have been doing some traveling and working on some more projects around the house.  Because, obviously, I have nothing better to do with my time.  If you would like to see what I've been up to instead of reading books, which is always preferable but doesn't always happen, check out my Instagram (@alyxandraramos) and see for yourself.  Honestly just looking for sympathy points right now.  So, without any more bs, here are my two books for the month.   "The Good Girl"- Mary Kubica   This book was a gift (aren't books honestly the best gift ever?) and I couldn't wait to ...

#blogtunes  (full disclosure: feelin the country today) Where I Come From- Montgomery Gentry Mud on the Tires- Brad Paisley Knee Deep- Zac Brown Band (love this song!) Bonfire- Craig Morgan Sweet Home Alabama- Lynyrd Skynyrd (Aw yeah) It's a Great Day to Be Alive- Travis Tritt Holler Back- The Lost Trailers If You Ever Stop Loving Me- Montgomery Gentry (so perfect for this post) The Only Place That I Call Home- Justin Moore   So, this may seem like a touchy subject and I can very easily step on some toes with this post; but I'm going for it.  Which is what this whole topic is about: Going For It.  There was a large part of my life where I was more concerned with what others thought of my life than what I thought of it (and admittedly, this is something I wholeheartedly struggle with to this day, but slowly overcoming it).  One day I woke up and realized I didn't want to keep going down the path I was on, that I was disappointing myself to avoid the di...

  April.  Wow, wow, April.  It came and went so quickly and my schedule looked like a mad man came in and scribbled all over it.  We were busy .  So busy in fact that I only got to read two books this past month!  Two!  Oh, the travesty!   But, in all fairness, did you see the size of the Kostova book?!  It's huge!  It should count for two reads due to the sheer size of it.   April's choices were rather odd, but humorously in the same genre: romance!  Oh, how I love me a good romance.  "Snow Melts in Spring" was actually written by a relative (well... sort of a relative.  By marriage.  Or something.) and given to me by my great Aunt.  The Kostova book was a gift from another book worm friend of mine which she found at the greatest little discount bookshop in the area.  Seriously, they let you have a running tab; goodbye grocery money!   Needless to say, it was odd they fell in the same genr...
