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!

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, ...
