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!!

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll  is a very entertaining classic. I think everyone knows the story of young Alice who follows a White Rabbit into the world of Wonderland where everything is just slightly (or significantly) strange. For some reason, every time I've picked up Alice's Adventures before, I've put it down without making it more than 10 pages or so. But this time, I managed to finish it. It's a quirky sort of book, but I enjoyed it. It did make me think of The Phantom Tollbooth (here's my review of that classic), but I preferred Carroll's novel to Juster's. There's some great play on words and delightful misunderstandings because of homophones and characters not paying attention to each other. I think this is a worthwhile classic, but I don't actually have that much to say about it. Middle Grade March Count: 5

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...
