True Dreamer Tag! #dreamerbooktour

Hey everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and I am so excited to share with you an original book tag inspired by Dreamer by Ja-Mel Vinson!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been fortunate enough to participate in the Dreamer Blog Tour (#dreamerbooktour on Twitter), and I will be linking a playlist inspired by the book, and later today I will also be posting my review!

I know that not everyone has been able to read the book yet, so have no fears, there are no spoilers in this tag! I tried to keep all of the questions inspired by things mentioned in the first four chapters. These are merely inspired by characters, objects, or awesome quotes- so let's begin!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Maya (the True Dreamer) - If you were a protagonist, what genre would you be in?

Fantasy is the best!!! I'd like to think it would be an urban fantasy though- elements of this world and a magical one together.

2. Rosemary (the Best Friend) - Which bookish character do you think would be your best friend?

This wouldn't be a post on Nox Reads if I didn't mention the Raven Cycle series, no? I think that I could be best friends with all of the Gangsey, but if I had to pick one, it would probably be Noah. I think that he's quiet and calm enough to offset my craziness.

3. Bailey (the Guardian Angel) - Name a fictional character whose wardrobe you want to raid! 

There is so much to Bailey, but when she was introduced I was just instantly blown away by how amazing her outfit is! I had to write her question based on this.

I don't really like dresses, but I want Cress's butterfly dress so bad!

4. D.R.E.A.M. (the Academy) - Which fictional school do you want to go to the most?

Obviously, I want to go to Hogwarts! I need to be with my fellow Hufflepuffs, surrounded by magic and charms!

5. Nancy Drew (favorite books) - What is (are) your favorite book(s)?

My favorite book of all time is Fairest by Gail Carson Levine!

6. Mother Nature (alter egos) - Which fictional character is the Hyde to your Jekyll?

My answer for this is Nina Zenik from the Six of Crows duology! I love Nina for her confidence, especially because she is plus-sized like me. I've said several times that I want to be like Nina- beautiful, strong, and confident.

7. Sominium (personal demons) - What books are your personal demons that you need to defeat (aka your crazy TBR)?

I need to finish Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor, The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas, and A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin!

8. "...and I was swimming in liquid light." (gorgeous descriptions) - What book do you think has beautiful descriptions?

I think my favorite part of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern was how gorgeous everything sounded! The bonfires, the rooms, the outfits- everything was absolutely magical!

9. Dreamkeepers - Name two or more members of the book community that are your guardian angels!

I've made so many amazing bookish friends, especially through Twitter! I'm shouting out everyone on the Dreamer Blog Tour and all of my friends from nik nak, as well as my friend Tyler and Kait from Kaitlyn's Cozy Reading Corner!

10. True Dreamers - Tag two or more people to do this tag!

I'm tagging everyone else participating in Dreamer Blog Tour! I can't wait to see your answers!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As I said, this tag was inspired by Dreamer by Ja-Mel Vinson! This book has gorgeous descriptions and an amazing premise, and I can't wait to see what's next, because I definitely think it's going to get better!

Check back in a few hours for my full-length spoiler-free book ramble for Dreamer! Until then though, you can listen to a playlist I put together on Spotify here. The playlist was inspired by songs with themes of dreaming, sleeping, and magic (with a couple of show tunes in the mix, because I appreciated Rosemary's Cell Block Tango reference), and I hope you all love it. Make sure to check out the tour's launch post here!

The link to preorder the book on Amazon is right here, and feel free to add it on Goodreads!

Most importantly, I invite you to check out the other posts from #dreamerblogtour, and please come and participate in the Twitter chat hosted by Shealea on March 2nd!

Dreamer by Ja-Mel Vinson comes out on March 19, 2019!

Thank you for reading, everyone! Have a great day!

A Guide to Anti-Racist Resources | #blacklivesmatter #sayhisname

Hi everyone. Welcome to Nox the Reader, and today I'm sharing a compiled list of different anti-racist resources that I've seen shared on Bookstagram and Twitter. Please note: THIS LIST IS EVER-EVOLVING AND EXPANDING. AS I GATHER MORE INFORMATION, I WILL BE ADDING IT TO THIS GUIDE. IF THERE'S ANYTHING YOU FEEL I SHOULD ADD, PLEASE DM ME ON TWITTER @nox_reads, OR COMMENT DOWN BELOW. Before I share this list, all I want to say is that I'm mad as hell and I'm tired. My dad always shared stories about living in Inglewood in the 90s during the time of Rodney King and the LA Riots. And it's almost 30 years later and nothing has changed. I've grown up surrounded by names as hashtags and videos cycled through the media and it's infuriating  and heartbreaking and exhausting . And a lot of us are wondering what to do, how to break this system and burn it to the ground. And it starts with educating ourselves and uplifting the voices of others. In this list are book

Book Ramble - One of Us is Lying

Hi everyone! Welcome to Nox Reads, I'm "Nox", and this is my book ramble for  One of Us is Lying  by Karen M. McManus, a solid  PROBABLY WON'T REREAD.  "That's the kind of person you can get away with killing: someone everyone else wants dead." TRIGGER WARNING: Death, alcohol, drugs, mentions of suicide -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- S P O I L E R - F R E E  T A L K  Right off the bat, I have to say: I  had  to read this book. It's the Breakfast Club with a murder in it, how could I not? And of course, they make a joke about it in the book (Simon saying that they're all walking 80's movies stereotypes). It was such an interesting concept to me, a combination of some of my favorite things: retellings, mystery, and murder (in  stories . Obviously I do not condone actually murder.  Please don't murder people. This has been a PSA. ) S
