Bye Bye April

Hey yall,

How are we feeling today?

It is the beginning of a new month. Where I am at, it is very sunny and has me in a cheery mood. Hope you guys are feeling the warm rays and happy times like I am.

I got my second COVID-19 vaccine a few days ago and I am feeling FANTASTIC! I am so excited for this whole COVID debacle to be over.

So I hate for these to be long so lets get into it.

Posts:

Books:

  • Caraval by Stephanie Garber
  • And I Darken by Kiersten White
  • A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
  • Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

Movies/Tv Shows:

  • The Falcon and the Winter Soldier

That is my month in review! Nothing extraordinary happened out in the Life update other than my vaccine. I am half way done with school for the rest of the quarter. Hopefully I will be out soon!

As always, thanks for reading,

End of the Month: March was Madness

So the end of the longest month I have had yet this year. Half the month I had finals and the second half of the month I had spring break. It was intense. It was really hard for me to write quality blogs while in this intense schedule I have.

It also seems like April is going to be the same way. My classes are insanely fast-paced and have so much work for each class already.

But, here is my wrap-up for March.

Book I Read:

Posts I Wrote:

Damn I Posted a CRAP ton!

Movies/Shows I watched:

  • Julie and the Phantoms
  • My Best Friend’s Wedding
  • WandaVision
  • Raya and The Last Dragon
  • Deathnote (The Anime)
  • Chaos Walking
  • Rewatched all of the Marvel movies

Aghhhh I am so bad at posting in April this year. I am sorry guys. I hope you guys like really late wrap-up posts.

As always, thanks for reading,

February: Where did it go?

Holy smokes.

This was literally the fastest month ever. I had no clue it was the end of the month until I woke up this morning and saw it was March.

WTF

But, I did not do a lot this month. I had no events this week. I mostly just worked on school like crazy. I went bridesmaid dress shopping for my friend’s wedding. I guess you could say that was my big event. Also, I went camping with my neighbors at their little shack in the woods. It seemed like a horror movie, but I survived. I went home and saw my besties. Also, I had a photoshoot for my club in college. I have not gotten the photos back for them. I had my roommates go on a scavenger hunt in the snow.

In terms of books, I only finished one or two. I think I finished Lucy by Jamaica Kincaid this month. I also finished Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. But, I think for March I will be better, fingers crossed.

I watched a few movies and TV shows. Some of them I did reviews on like Winx and Enola Holmes. I also watched WandaVision, but I can’t say anything about it until the last episode comes out this week.

I wrote a few posts. In the last week, I only posted once so I felt like butt. But, it’s okay. I already have a good start on March.

These are my posts for February 2021:

Go check them out if you havent already!

I think this is where I am going to end this. I like to do these posts just to make the whole month come together and have a record of what I did in a month.

As always, thanks for reading,

I bought 2 books which I wish it was only one but I had 30 dollars on a gift cards and I wanted free shipping from B&N. Along with that I also bought a cool book quote thing and a Fault in Our Stars bookmark which I shall put down below because why not. I bought:

January 2017 Wrap-Up

Hey guys guess what!

Its time for another monthly wrap-up.

I am so happy with this month except for how fast it flew by. I got all my finals done whihc delayed my reading so i didn’t read everything I wanted to read but I did however meet other goals. One of my goals was to make the photo you’ll see throughout this post and on my featured image. I have been meaning to make this to give a little flare to my blog.

books-i-read

Rhis month was a busy month for me and so will February but I have a better outlook going into the next monththan I did going into this month. I only set a goal to read three books this month, those books being Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows, and Passenger. while I only read two of those books on that list I did read 5 books this month. I am very happy and impressed with myself. The books I read were:

28686840

92517

20613470

18584855

23513349

Most of these books were amazing. I loved almost all of them. go check out my reviews which are linked above to see my opinions on each book.

posts-this-month

This month I posted a little but that is usually how I roll so here are my posts from this month:

and the glorious post you are on right now.

Go check out those blog posts and give them some love. I work really hard on them.

books-i-bought

Now I put this one last because I bought ALOT of books this month. I had lots of Christmas money so I decided I would buy books with all of that money. so here is the long list of book  bought:

27779008

16096824

18243700

26836910

23395680

29236299

24921954

23299512

As you can see that is alot of books to buy in one month. I was so excited and still am to have gotten all those books. The wait for all of them was excruciating though. I think I may have an addiction to buying books. But they make my book shelf look even more pretty.

That is all for this months wrap-up. I hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have. I will have my TBR up by tomorrow (hopefully) so you can see what books I plan to read in February. Thanks for reading. Please like and comment below!!!!

What books did you read? Did you read any boooks that I read? What books did you buy?

 

December and 2016 Wrap-Up

As the New Year approaches, this last year is coming to a close. It is almost hard to believe it has been a year already since last New Years Eve. I have decided to combine my December and 2016 wrap-up together because I don’t want to have five different posts coming out in the next two days and I am also extremely lazy.

So, to start with my December wrap up I think congratulations are in order to yours truly because I actually finished and went above and beyond my reading goal for this month. Not only did I read the two books I had planned to read this month but I also read four other books. That means 6 books total. And it may seem like I am tooting my own horn and I really am but I am very impressed with myself for reading this much this month. I would love to continue that streak but I probably won’t. Anyways so these are the books I read this month:

Click on the titles to go read my reviews on these stories which all of them were AMAZING. I found them to be really great reads and a few of them have made it onto my top reads of 2016 that will be listed later.

Apart from what I have read this month, I have also bought three books. My Book Buy of December has only one of the books I bought which I got in the mail a day ago and it was a little Christmas present for myself. After Christmas, I bought two books with my Christmas money that I have wanted since I went to Target and saw them on the shelf. the books I bought this month are:

I am super excited to read them and to be able to own those beautiful books.

Now for the moment you have all been waiting for…or haven’t been waiting for…if it isn’t why are you even reading this?..

My 2016 Wrap-Up

I read 37 books this year and my goal was 30 books so I surpassed my goal. I am super happy I achieved that because I haven’t read very much the past few years so this year has been a changing point for me. I really have this blog to thank which I started on August 26th this year. This blog has mad eme want to write reviews and for that, I need to read. I am excited to see how many I read next year. If you want to see every book I read this year click here to see my reading challenge on Goodreads. I don’t have blog posts for all of my favorite books so I will link all these to their Goodreads.

My favorite books of 2016 are:

These books were flipping amazing and you can find all but the first four reviewed in my blog. I seriously loved these books. I am very happy with how my reading year turned out.

Now with the end of this post comes the end of 2016 for this blog. This shall be my last blog post of 2016 and I am excited to continue with this blog into the next year. I think this year has been a good year for me. I have a lot of good memories from this year and I hope to make much more in 2017. So with that, I bid adieu to 2016 and bonjour to the New Year.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!<3

November Wrap Up and October TBR

I did it. I have finally finished my TBR list for a month. I read four books this month which were: 

I liked all of these books. You can see why in my review about them. 

What I want to read next month are two books: 

  • Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas
  • Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas 

I have the series and I’m excited to read the books. 

I wanted to include my Book Buy of the Month in this too Becuase I forgot to do it for the month of November. My boyfriend got me the new Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them original screenplay. I didn’t technically buy this but I got this book in November so I’m counting it. 

October Wrap-Up & September TBR

Hey. So it looks like I only finished two books this month. Oops, I did it again…

tumblr_mheqkagopf1qihp55o1_250

I am reading the last two books and I would have finished my goal if I had not taken so long on the Great Gatsby. I thought maybe I could finish the books by today a few days after the October but it didn’t work out so here I am posting another wrap-up of shame.

Books I read in October:

I am very ashamed but I will try harder this month. I will be finishing two books soon so hopefully that puts me in good standing with my reading.

Book to be read in November:

  • Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
  • Shadows of Doon by Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon
  • A Separate Peace by John Knowles
  • Its Kind of a Funny Story by Ned Vizzini

I am already reading the first three book. A Separate Peace is a book we are reading for class so it will take me longer and I don’t know if we are scheduled to finish  it before the month ends. I will hope to actually finish and maybe read another book. I hope you all like this post. Thank for reading!

September Wrap-Up and October TBR

Hey, guys!

It is the first of October so that means it is time for my monthly wrap-up and my new TBR. So let’s do this.

What I read in September:

I had 5 books in my TBR this month but I just started school again which was hard to balance my time with all my activities. I hope this month will be different and I will be able to finish all the books on my TBR list for October.

October TBR:

  • The Great Gatsby by F.Scott Fitzgerald
  • Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Magaret Stohl
  • Destined for Doon by Carey Corp & Lorie Langdon
  • Shadows of Doon by Carey Corp & Lorie Langdon

That is all for this blog. I am excited to read these books and I hope that I finish all of them.

Thank you for reading!
