Hello! First, I will introduce myself. My name is Leilanie Marie. My nicknames include Lonie, Lanie, and Lei. Which do you prefer? I started my first blog in 2009. Since then I've had many blogs and they all got neglected. For that reason I decided to start fresh with a whole new blog, name, and template. I wanted to keep it simple this time around. For now, this will mostly be a diary of sorts, just to keep this blog alive. In the future, I plan on covering topics such as Project Life, digiscrap, snail mail, book reviews, my weight loss journey, DIY projects, essential oils, and traveling the world.
I'm 25 and I already have an associate's degree but I decided to go back to school to get my BA. My first degree is a technical degree therefore most of my classes are non-transferable. Since that's the case, I have to start over from scratch. I start school in a couple of weeks but I'm still waiting for my financial aid to be approved. I have many things to do after I receive the money, but for now, I'm just bored. I have, however, been reading a lot of books. Therefore, I have a lot of reviews to write.
Back in January, I discovered the website Good Reads. From there, I discovered that people could receive free books in exchange for writing book reviews. That's how I discovered NetGalley. Anyone can sign up and request for books. But you need to be approved by the publisher in order to receive the books. Each publisher has their own criteria, but basically, the more reviews you write, the more you get approved. The reason I mention this is because most of my book reviews will be books I've received from NetGalley. I want to mention that I'm easy to please and I mostly only request books that I know I will love. However, sometimes I poorly judge a book by its cover and end up with a book that I don't like. I promise to give an honest review and my opinion will not be based on how I obtain the books.
I have a ton of NetGalley book reviews to catch up on. The next post you'll see will probably be a book review, but that's not a guarantee. See you next time.
