Libraries! School! And My Book Loves!

-
Last Friday my dad took all of us chillins to the library. Of course since I'm a big book dork I got six books. (That was on reserve for me) I'm serious, the librarians practically know me by name now. So not I'm going to share with you the books that I got and why I adore them.
The Darkest Powers Trilogy
There are so many reasons why I love The Darkest Powers Series. It's clean, the story is amazing, and I'm in love with all of the character! Even the characters that are kind of mean. I was sucked in by the first book, and I almost died waiting to read the second. And right now I'm dying to read the third and last book about Chloe and her friends. Another thing I love about these books is that I can read more than once and still love it. I'm seriously obsessed with these books. Kelley Armstrong is an amazing author, but sadly I cannot read her other books because they are supernatural romance novels.
The Wicked Lovely Series

This series is fairly clean. There is some kissing in it but nothing super inappropriate. I pretty much adore these books. When I read a book I usually want the good guy to get the girl, but when I read these books I want the bad boy prince Keenan to be her boyfriend. He is so stinking patient with her, and even though he is a jerk with everyone he is super nice with her. I screamed when she went back to Seth (the good-ish boy)! Seth is not a good boy but he is a better person than Keenan. (I still like Keenan better) I was disappointed with Radiant Shadows (I finished it last night). The book focused on characters that I don't really care about! I want to read more about Keenan and Aislinn, but the book didn't have them in it. *grumpy huff*


I have a strange fascination with princess books. I'm NOT a girly girl but I do love princess books. These two books were surprisingly funny and clever. "Palace of Mirrors" was written by one of my favorite authors of all time, Margaret Peterson Haddix. (Seriously I love her so much I have almost all of her books) "Princess of Glass" was a little predictable but the dialog was hilarious, and the way the author wrote the character was very personal and I really like that in a book. This is the first book I've ever read by Jessica Day George. I was impressed by her writing so I will definitely read her other books in the future.

I'm reading everything I can get my hands on because once school starts again I won't have time to read any books other than text books. Sad, I know. It's totally true though. If I get my hands on a book during the school year I spend the whole day reading instead of studying. My dad made a ban against me reading books or going to libraries during the school year. I love school, and I love reading, but my two loves cannot intertwine. I know my dad is right about me always getting distracted though.....So I have to be obedient or I'll get bad grades. *sigh*

Okay! That's all. Now I'm off to the library to get the last book in The Darkest Powers series, and another princess book! (In my defence about the princess books my little sisters read it after I'm done with them. It's not like I save them all for myself....)

SPRING BREAK!!!!

Words cannot express how much love I feel for Spring Break right now. This picture pretty much sums up how I felt when I got out of school last Friday! It has been a crazy busy semester, so this week without having to worry about assignments and projects has been absolutely fantastic! Unfortunately, it's now Thursday and it is almost time to dive back into reality! :( Alright so here are five things that I love at the moment: 1. Sherlock Holmes on BBC!! Even when I am super busy I make time to watch this show! :) It has hilarious dialogue, plus it doesn't hurt that Sherlock is super cute! And the best part of this show is that the next episode for season two is going to air on my birthday!!!! To say that I am excited is a complete understatement! 2. Popcorn! The popcorn my mom buys hardly has any calories, it is delicious, and pretty much my favorite food at the moment! 3. The Clockwork Prince! I bought this book the week after it came out, and I fell in love with it. I

New York Story: NYC's Version of The Little Mermaid

New York City in the summer is Satan's literal anus. It smells bad and it's hot as hell. In an effort to help people in the city cool down, the fire department opens up the fire hydrants. Many people use the open water as a splash pad or a car wash. I preferred to close the curtains and lay in front of a fan for hours at a time. But to each their own, right? I lived down the street from the 1 Train at 135th and used that train almost exclusively to get to Amelia and Dillon's house. The 1 train was more reliable than the life ruining M11 bus, even though I liked taking the bus to the West Side way more. Anyway, since I practically lived on their couch on the weekend, the trip from Hamilton Heights to the West Side was familiar.  On this particular occasion, I had dinner plans with Amelia and Dillon and I was already running behind. I decided to walk on the right side of the street so I could pick up dessert at the grocery store before getting on the train. For reference, I N

Thanksgiving Day One!!

Okay, so I have never blogged from my phone before, so this will be interesting! Winter I my favorite time of the year. I love the cold weather, the clothes, the Christmas romantic comedies, and especially the general attitude. I love having an attitude of gratitude. And it seems like during the holiday season other people adopt that point of view as well. One of the most rewarding feelings is when you bring a light into someone's life, and the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays gives opportunities to do that. For the next five days I will be posting the things I am thankful for!! 5) Over the summer, I decided that I wanted to do a big project for personal progress. I decided on making baby hats for premature babies. Unfortunately, however, I am not crafty, I don't know how to knit, and I fail miserably at every artsy endeavor I have tried. Despite all the things that could go wrong, I bought hat knitting looms. It took a couple of days for me to finally learn how to do
