You know when a celebrity writes a book and it’s just a mix of autobiographical stories and funny rants and reviews and it’s just really fun to read?
Well, this blog is going to be like that. So basically, you guys are reading the book before it’s published. And then, when I’m famous for something (I don’t quite know what exactly, we’ll see how life goes) and I’m asked to write a book I’ll just give them this URL because it’ll all be here.
But seriously, welcome to this blog and I hope you like what you find here.
And now for a bit about me (as this is the About page):
Hi, I’m V Donovan! I’m not new to blogging. Several years ago, I started a blog about a TV show and I happily and actively kept up with it. Maybe some of you read/followed that blog. When that TV show ended, I didn’t want my hobby as a blogger to end because I loved it so much. So this is where I’m blogging now, only there isn’t one specific topic.
I’m a girl (I know my username doesn’t make that obvious). There are moments when I can be classified as a fangirl. I’m passionate about many things (TV shows, musicals, movies…), which I hope to share with y’all here. I’m 27 years old. I live in and have a love/hate relationship with Canada. I have a degree in communications and writing. I love to write and have been told I’m pretty good at it. I have two ISBNs to my name. I think I have a decent sense of humor. Despite being a pretty average person in the eyes of society, I like to think I’m fairly unique and want to share myself and my interests and my writing with the world.
So on this blog you’ll find reviews (of TV shows, movies, books, music), stories, (fairly polite) rants, tips on stuff, general coolness, fun things…. Things that I can best describe as being ‘coolbeans’.
Overall, I want you to know that I’m doing this as a creative outlet for myself but also for the amusement of any and all readers. This’ll be a fun place for people of all ages. While you’re here I want you to laugh (or smile at least), be inspired to engage in conversation or think about something new (in a fun way), and not feel like you’re just wasting time on the internet.
Feel free to leave a comment or visit my Contact page if you want to contact me!
Again, welcome to my blog!

The blog looks really nice! Your post are always good and organized! Love ya!
Thank you so much!! ❤
I hope to have a blog as good as yours one day 🙂
OMG thanks so much! A good blog just takes dedication.
Hey! Just popping over to say thanks for checking out my blog introverted Fangirl and for following. I love your blog 🙂 I used to have this theme over on my other blog and it’s cool to see how you’ve made it your own! Anyway, thanks again, looking forward to reading more of your posts! – Faye
No problem 🙂 Gotta support fangirls.
I really like this theme; it took me ages to find one I liked but I’m happy with this.
Thanks for following!
Yeah I liked it for ages but then I changed it lol, much happier with the one I have now though 🙂
It’s like you’re a younger me. I just need to know–did you blog about Glee? Because that would make us best friends forever!
Yeah, did you read/follow my old blog? 🙂
No, I am new to the whole blog thing. Can I access it now? I love and breathe Glee. Seeing Chris Colfer and Darren Criss take over the world made me realize I had to get off my butt and do something creative.
Haha, it’s here
(edit: link removed)
Squeee. Thank you! I have literally watched Season 6 about five times now.
Amazing!
I love the about page! Good job!
Thank you! 🙂
Great blog. I love your layout and how everything’s organized! You’re definitely more forthcoming with information than I am haha. I guess I’m a little shy in that regard.
Thanks! And there’s nothing wrong with not putting out a lot of information. The internet can be scary!
Hi, I found your about page via the Blogging 101 experience and enjoy your writing. I just got tagged in a quote challenge and I thought you might enjoy it. Check it our if you’re interested.

Awww thanks! A college friend who does graphic design helped with it, I’ll pass on the compliment!
Hi, I love your blog. It looks so lovely and lively. And, thanks for the follow.
PS – Don’t forget me when you are famous!
Thank you! ^_^

Great blog…I’m a grumpy old git from over the pond but your blog is a nice bit of fresh air, tinged with the exuberance of youth…keep it up.
Hahaha thanks! I will endeavour to do so!
woow! you actually had me at the first line. I recently finished reading Amy Poehler’s book. will definitely read more
I read that book too! Amy is a good writer…but my favourite chapter, without a doubt, was the one on Parks And Rec!
oh of course! I was sick a few weeks ago and found myself rewatching the entirety of Parks & Rec. never gets old!
*Chris Traeger voice* LITERALLY the greatest show!
Great about page!
Thank you! 😀
sure!
I found your blog over at HarsH ReaLiTy! I’m looking forward to connecting.
Likewise! 🙂
woot! for fangirls! God bless Canada, they gave us Nathan Fillion. ❤
And he is indeed a treasure. 😛
I’m watching Heroes at the moment. I know I’m so late. Have you watched that show?
Actually no. Maybe if Reborn is good, I’ll consider giving it a go!
I am absolutely obsessed! I even got my my mom hooked. I think I’m going to read more about the shows you’ve and inspire to write about each season. HA!
Pretty cool!
Thank you! :3
You are welcome 🙂
Thank you for submitting! Lucky you seeing Aladdin, I only found out it had been made a few months ago.
No problem!
And yeah, it was a cool show! The genie was fantastic!
[…] a third. I scrolled down more of the blogging events and found one by a blogger that I follow, I am Donovan, I’d actually seen the posts written by her, on her blog CoolBeans4, and thought that it was […]
Found this LOVE THIS! I’m hoping to come through to Canada next year, actually! I love this. I’m v v v keen to be following you. Eep!
Thanks! I hope my blog (and Canada) live up to your expectations! 😛
I graduated in August with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication 🙂 I love your little bean avatar and the teal background (one of my favorite colors). Thanks for liking my recent post btw!
Wow did you like the program?
And you’re welcome, your post was super relatable. I’ve had various degrees of that happening to me too and it sucks!
(P.S. the url connected to your name isn’t your proper blog url!)
I loved it. I originally wanted to be a mews anchor but I realized my love for writing after being in the program. And thanks for the feedback! I’ve learned my lesson and will just constantly back up my files from now on.
Btw what do you mean in regards to my url? I’m new to wordpress so please forgive me lol.
No worries, it’s just that clicking your name takes me to a URL that doesn’t exist (it’s missing an r) so you just have to go into your settings and assign the right blog to your name 🙂
I fixed it. Thank you for letting me know! 🙂
Ohh nvm I know what you mean about the url. Idky it’s like that. I’ll try to fix it. -_-
Thanks for following me! I also follow you back since Your site looks pretty nice! And I love your slogan: “it’s a horcrux ;))
HI! I have nominated you for The Liebster Award, one of several blogging community awards on WordPress. You can find my post here, with the rules and the questions 😉
https://evelynfilmfan.wordpress.com/2016/01/24/my-2nd-liebster-award-nomination/
Good luck and enjoy!
Hey thanks so much!
I was nominated for this a few months ago, so I’m not going to do another post on it, and I think that award is supposed to be for people under 200 followers, which I’m slightly over anyways, but you came up with some great questions so I’ll leave a comment on your post answering them!
HI
Thank you so much for finding my blog and liking a post. Hope you come back again soon
Just had to say, you are fantastic!
Thank you! That made my day! 🙂
Hooray! Even better 🙂
Hey! This blog looks great! I noticed that you visited my blog recently and I was curious about my first visitor! If you can, I would love some suggestions about the blog, anything you have. Mine is ryanstmbg.wordpress.com
I would appreciate it!
If you think my blog should be more supported, I would love it if you reccommend it to your readers! Thanks!
Hiya! Welcome to the blogosphere! My first big tip is to make sure your name is linked to your url because otherwise, your old blog will be getting traffic instead. And in terms of content, make sure you stay dedicated and make readers want to stay. Give pictures to look at and provide your own opinions so your blog can be as unique as you are.
I can’t wait to read more from you!
Happy Blogging!
Thanks!!
Could you tell me how to link my URL to my name? I can’t figure it out (: thanks!
It’s in settings, maybe under users…just click around!
Hey, could I get your email or something? That way, we don’t have to keep messaging on your blog. lol
Sure! It’s coolbeans4wp@gmail.com!
Alright this is awkward. I’m pretty sure I said ‘man’ in my last comment on your blog of funny videos. Sorry about that. You seem really awesome though and I love your blog! Great job!
You didn’t, but no worries, I call literally everyone bro! Thanks so much!

Having a blog makes you automatically cool in my books!

How can anyone hate Canada???? 🙂
Hmm, you sound like someone who doesn’t live here. 😅
You had me at “This above average blog is a horcrux.”
Donovan is a cool name. Very different which is good.
