Hello Lovelies!!

Happy 2nd week of the year! My week was not as relaxing as I had hoped it to be.

This week, I...

watched HappyThankYouMorePlease with a couple friends.

worked on Monday.

watched the Teen Wolf premiere (OHMYGOD THAT SHOW. I LOVE IT AND WILL PROBABLY DIE AS A DIRECT RESULT FROM THAT.)

drove 5 hours to go home for a few days.

opened some belated Christmas presents from my parents.

knitted about six inches on a new scarf.

watched Battleship (surprisingly decent for its terrible name/premise).

watched several episodes of Criminal Minds and Say Yes to the Dress.

drove 2 hours to visit my sister and her husband.

drove back home through severe winds and snow/rain. (Seriously the interstate signs said "Severe Winds Ahead.) And I was like "Okay road sign, c'mon, I've lived round these parts my whole life. I know what I'm about." But I was wrong.

This week I read...

Vampire Academy! As you know. I was surprised at how much I liked it. I have the second one on reserve at my work--and I'm super excited to see the movie in February.

started Ketchup Clouds by Annabel Pitcher. So far, so good! I'm only about thirty pages in, but I like it.

My Self magazine and about half of my Glamour magazine which I'm planning on finishing tonight. I like taking a break from other types of reading for magazines every so often.

That's about it for my life! I was planning on reading a lot more, but I guess I ended up sleeping quite a bit, haha. And chatting with my parents, so that was fun.

How was your week lovelies? Any one else really into Teen Wolf? Wanna come freak out with me??? Also, friend me on Goodreads!!

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...

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
