Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad" I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint).

I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types. 



1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine
A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very short. 107 pages short.
2. The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan
Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to the movie.
3. Private by Kate Brian
This is a boarding school mystery (complete with the popular clique).
4. The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman
The cover made me salivate (Ew, sorry. Gross.). It's gorgeous though, right? The font for the title is so swirly and mystical. This book is about a girl page who works for a library in New York (everything good...erm, exciting...happens in New York) that has a secret collection of magical items from the Grimm Brothers fairy tales. But things start to go missing and it's up to her and the rest of the pages to solve the mystery.  

I linked the titles to their Goodreads pages if you want to go check them out. And that's all for today. Have a good one.

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa
