Hello Lovelies!!

Tis another Sunday night here in Montana, and I feel like I've had a very busy week.

This week, I...

worked two of the busiest retail days for our store so far.

wandered around half our town looking for cool Christmas lights on Christmas Eve--but did not succeed in finding them.

opened many Christmas presents from my wonderful friends and family.

had two days off in a row!!

went shopping on Thursday which was a crazy busy day, but I found some awesome shoes on sale.

went to a friend's house to watch Star Wars IV.

went to a friend's house to have a delicious and wonderful family dinner.

went to Oula!!

watched I'll be Home for Christmas, Halloween, The Celebration, and It's a Wonderful Life.

watched some Teen Wolf and some American Horror Story: Asylum.

This week, I read...

The Wonderful Wizard of Oz which has a review coming shortly.

Fangirl (!!!!!!!!) which I just started tonight but I'm already halfway through, and I'm incredibly tempted to stay up and finish it tonight.

This week, I added several books to my library.

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher
Reboot by Amy Tintera
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
Bone #1 by Jeff Smith
Harold and the Purple Crayon by Crockett Johnson

I'm so excited about all these books!! I'm glad I squeaked in a last good haul before my new year's resolutions kick in :)

How was your week? What did you do that was fun and delightful?

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...
