Raven Boys + Second Chances

I am forfeiting time reading The Raven Boys to write this post for you guys. Appreciation is in order, I think. :D (Seriously, though. How awesome is The Raven Boys?? No spoilers please.)

So, as stated above, I'm currently reading The Raven Boys, I started it after admiring the cover and stroking it. All the normal stuff. It is blowing my expectations away! It's amazing and there will be a review.

I'm thinking about doing a post on stereotyping bookworms. What do you think? I also have this extremely nasty lemon/honey drink that I'm procrastinating on drinking. It's sitting very evilly at the corner of my desk. I can smell it even though it's cold. 

I also visited an online book store called The Book Outlet today, and I shouldn't have. I now want to buy more books (well, more than before). It has destroyed my life. 

I splurged on a  ten-dollar book that I love, but now I'm feeling sort of guilty-ish because maybe I should have used those ten bucks to support indie authors. Or more precisely one indie author. Self-published books are extremely expensive. Never mind. The guilt is gone because I'm so excited about what the book is. I'll tell you when it gets to my house. ;)

Let's see....I took midterms a couple weeks ago for my Sociology college class. My hands were shaking from fatigue (psh, no I wasn't scared) at the end. It turned out good though, and I'm super excited about my grade. :D My economics class doesn't like me *pouts*. 

Last night I was hanging out with my younger sister (13) and little brother (4). Well, my little bro was being unusually talkative and bouncy (I think something got put in his grape juice). VERY HYPER. So here are some tidbits of our conversations that you can giggle, smile, snort at.

BRO: I sowwy.
SIS: Yeah, you should be sorry. (She's mean. No soul. Poor thing, she was born that way.)

Oh, and apparently "making snow" is "baby nose" to little bro.

BRO: I fith (he means 'fix') it, I fith it. 
SIS: What. No, that's not allowed. You may not knock over my books. 

BRO: Sowwy, sowwy, sowwy (and on and on).
SIS: SORRY, SORRY, SORRY, SORRY.
BRO: Shhhhh. Quiet, quiet! [He needs to do what he preaches *shakes head*]

ME: You look very crazed. Are you okay? (Yes, it was very weird writing down my own words.)
BRO: RAGHHHHHHHHHHHH! (He was not okay. He was baring his teeth at me.)

And that's the end of this very random, pointless post (you laughed didn't you).

Project 30 Days of Inspire: Day 12


Honestly? Just because you've made a mistake or two doesn't mean you're screwed for life. You can have a fresh beginning. When you get your driver's license taken away, it doesn't mean that you can never drive again. It means that, yeah, you'll have to be more careful, prove that you can do it, and get it back. Everyone deserves a second chance. Everyone can get new beginnings. You're not messed up. You learned and now you're moving on. 

Remember you can begin again.

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

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 th

Airplanes and Sky

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
