About the Blogger

I was just thinking that I need to add more stuff to this blog. Or at least say what it's all about.

So here goes, I'm Destiny. 22 year old African American woman living in the Deep South. Sometimes that can be a good thing, sometimes it's bad. But generally it's just a another fact in my daily life.

Since I can remember I have loved books. I have a memory of going to the school library when I was six years old and just loving it. Since then the library has been one of my favorite places.

Once I started getting an income of my own, I turned into a book hoarder haha. Seriously if you look at my room now there are over 400 books. I buy books every month. I don't have a lot of thing that I spend tons of money on, but books are definitely one of them.

It took me awhile to get into ebooks. I was one of those "I prefer reading the real thing. Thank you very much." But since I've gotten my nook (named Nancy because I was being alliterative) I've read tons of books. I still read physical books, but I read and buy a lot of ebooks. I have officially changed my tune haha.

The Blog

I started this blog to be more of a lifestyle blog, but it quickly became clear that it would be more of a book blog because generally that's what I'm interested in haha. I do watch a certain amount of television and movies and I spend way too much time on the internet, but books are one of my main passions. So it became clear that should be the blog's main purpose.

The Title

The title comes from the name of young people prominent in the 1920s. I discovered this when I was looking up things about the Bright Young Things book series by Anna Godbersen. Who says young adult novels don't have a strong effect on a person's mind?
