Hello Lovelies!!

As I mentioned last time, I got this fantastic week in review idea from Anna who is flawless and you should definitely check out her blog.

Anyway...this week I--

Went to a delightful group dinner at The Silk Road (one of the nicest places in town!). It's a tapas restaurant so all the dishes are very small, but if you go with a big group, it's fun to take a bite of each dish. We enjoyed some sangrias and got one of each dessert on the menu! There were only 5, but it was a fun thing to do.

Learned how to knit! Check it out--I'm working on a scarf, I hope.



Watched It's a Wonderful Life for the first time this year. What a perfect Christmas movie.

Started watching season two of American Horror Story.

Went to see The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.

I put down a book with no intention of picking it back up for the first time in a long time.

I started reading Allegiant!

I read this delightful blogpost at Hopeless Romantics about rating systems. I think I'm going to be implementing the little cupcakes!

And I got Fangirl from one of my friends for Christmas!!

I've been sick, so I missed out on a few things. A "leaving" party for one of my work friends. I should have gone, but I was just so tired. I wanted to crawl into my onesie and write this blog post and go to bed. So that's what I'm going to do!

What about you lovelies? Did you do anything good this week?

    The cable was out in our house earlier today, so I got lots of time to read today without being distracted. Mostly just relaxing this week =) I hope you feel better soon and yay for cupcake ratings!

More Diversity in Your Book Diet

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely people over at The Broke and the Bookish . Today's topic is Top Ten Books for People Who Like X, and I'm going to go with... Top Ten Books for People Who Like Diversity Thanks to the efforts of groups like We Need Diverse Books, diversity is having a resurgence in young adult and children's books. For the last couple years, I have been trying to read more books with diverse characters or by diverse authors. (Diverse in this respect includes race, sexuality, gender, and disability). I haven't endeavored to challenge myself to only read a certain type of book i.e. only those by women of color or anything that isn't by a white heterosexual male, but I try to be extra aware of the characters and ask myself if they actually are white (sometimes the text doesn't say it, sometimes people just assume it!) and if being white is necessary for the character or not.  But here are my top t...

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu...

Happy New Year's Eve Lovelies!! I hope you are all out having a terrific night and that you won't see this until 2014 has officially rung in.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful people over at The Broke & the Bookish --check out their post or their list of other awesome blogs who have participated! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell: Once I put up my year in review survey, no one will be surprised by this, but this book is definitely my favorite of the year. It is the most amazing book I've read in a long while.  2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: Oh Fangirl, I just barely squeezed you in to 2013, but I managed it. Mostly because once I picked it up I didn't put it back down. I couldn't. It was sort of like reading a pseudo-AU of my life. 3. American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang: This was a wonderful book that showed the commonalities and differences of people of all ages across cultures. I loved it.  4. Hyperbole an...
