Hello Lovelies!!

I don't know what happened yesterday, but a whole heck of a lot of you visited my blog, so thanks for that! That was a nice surprise to come back to, especially because I've been a HORRIBLE blogger this last week and a half.

But alas, what can you do? Just jump back on the bandwagon, eh? So I'm back with my week in review!

Let me tell you guys. I do not get any happier when I see that my week in review graphic is still "seasonal". It's the worst. It's been snowing again for the last couple days and we're supposed to get like a foot by tomorrow and SCHOOL'S ARE ACTUALLY CLOSING. You don't understand. I live in Montana. Literally the only time I didn't have school growing up was when our water heater exploded and the school was partly flooded and had no water. Snow storms were not a valid excuse. It's like the end of the world.

Which speaking of, I didn't see any ginormous wolves or snakes yesterday; did any of you see the effects of Ragnarok?

So I know I skipped a week, but I'm going to have to just summarize a bit here.

The last two weeks, I...
  • Did laundry? Yup. Yup. Did laundry. It was thrilling as always. 
  • Finished my Grad School application and sent it off! Hope I get good news soon!
  • Watched several movies. I think my favorites were Cinama Paradiso and Battle Royale. Two very different extremes, but both awesome.
  • Wanted to die from Teen Wolf because I don't understand what's going on and I'm so upset about everything, but I'm hoping it'll get better. I trust in the Teen Wolf Powers That Be.
  • Got accepted to Beta at Literally, today! (well okay a couple days ago, but I just managed to get on today.) It seems pretty sweet, but I'm still feeling a little bit lost and confused. I'll keep you up-to-date!
The last two weeks, I read..
  • Quite a bit of stuff online again. But there was a really good, really long story I was reading, and it isn't finished and now it's on hiatus, urgh.
  • Rebecca. I haven't really gotten into it honestly. But I need to finish it this week so I can wrap it up as my classic for February. 
And I didn't buy any books for myself! A book for my sister and two books for my roommate, but I'm not going to count any of them. 

I think that's the first time I've said that since I started this blog.

March starts in a week, so I'll be starting up my list of Middle Grade reads!! I'll also be reading Reboot by Amy Tintera because a friend gave it to me for Christmas and I already feel guilty that it's taken me this long. But I'm excited to give it a read!

I can't believe we're already almost 1/6th of the way done with 2014! 

What have you been up to lovelies?? Let me know in the comments!

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...
