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...

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...
