The Cast of The Desolation of Smaug (More or Less)

Hey, peoples! I'm technically on a blogging break for a few weeks, but I thought I'd post a little something on here since it's the weekend and I don't want you to get bored. :P

Much love and chocolate (but not too much, I need some for myself).

From The Desolation of Smaug
And is it just me or does "Smaug" sound like "smog" in a heavy southern (american) accent? *grins*

    Although I'm a New Zealander, I always pronounced 'Smaug' like 'Smog'. The million dollar question is if I say it in a heavy southern american accent. ;) WE WILL NEVER KNOW LOL XD

    I've been meaning to thank you for becoming my first GFC follower! It really made my day, haha :D

      Hehe, yeah, it made me laugh almost every time I heard it. :) Thank you! I thought the movie was pretty good. It was a bit long and there wasn't a lot of complicated plot but the characters and scenery were SO good.

    This makes me smile! I was pronouncing it more like Smog as well, and I'm from London but it's just easier to say. I love LOTRs, quite liked The Hobbit but have to admit to being a little disappointed with this one. I'm actually stopping by as someone linked you up to my Blogger Love post, now following via Bloglovin. Great post! :)

      I agree, it is WAY easier to pronounce it smog. :) I think this one could have used a little more twists but I loved the characters (especially Tauriel)!

      Thanks so much for the follow!!! (I had a great time making this post :) so thank you)

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
