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?

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...

Give Me a Little Love

Hello Lovelies!! Today we're going to talk about love and romance in books This is going to be kind of tricky for me because while I love book romances (see what I did there?), I have a hard time articulating things I like and don't like about them. So I think I'm going to split this into two categories: likes and dislikes.  1. Love: Slow-builds. Give me all the scenes where they gently flirt, and smile at each other, and watch each other out of the corner of their eyes.  2. Hate: Moving too quickly. I understand there are only so many pages, and a lot of other things need to happen, but if they met yesterday and they're getting married or exchanging I love yous, it's moving too fast for me. Build in some time!! 3. Love: Meet-cutes! I know lots of people will be like, but how can you love both slow-builds and meet-cutes, and to them, I say, BECAUSE I CAN. But really, if you bump into each other while holding hot coffee, or hold the subway door o...

Oops I Didn't Catch Them All

Hello Lovelies! Another Top Ten Tuesday? On Tuesday? It's almost like it's Winter Break still or something.  This week's theme is... Top Ten 2014 Debuts I Missed Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs:  This novel about a young girl attending a gifted and talented camp seemed to drift under the radar, but I still want to read it.  Avalon by Mindee Arnett : A sci-fi novel that got a lot of press pre-release, but didn't make a big splash afterwards. I want to know if it's as Firefly-esque as the comparisons that were made. Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot: Jamie  really liked this one, and it sounds like a good read! Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang: Multiple perspectives and a heart-wrenching storyline--seems right up my alley. Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid: Most people I know who read this loved it. I just didn't get around to it. Far From You by Tess Sharpe: I saw this on a lot of GLBTQ positive posts, ...
