Hi There || 2016

I have big hopes for this year :) I hope that I'll be more productive and less procrastinatory not only in school things but just in other things that I do because I love them. Like reading and blogging. I hope that I can find a good balance between hanging out with friends and getting over-exhausted by socializing. I hope that I sleep good hours and watch good movies. I hope I don't let stress run my life. I hope I dress up once in a while for no reason. I hope I actually go to the library in my college town once in a while.


BUT, I've also made some defined resolutions. After all, what would a new year be without them?



1. Finish all the books I started but put aside.

2. Buy at least one Kpop album. 

3. Finish my design website. 

4. Go on small adventures. 

5. Spend more time with friends. 

6. Get my ears pierced. 


Simple, pretty short. But I like it. And of course we can't forget my Goodreads Challenge. *grins*


I know 35 books isn't a lot. I mean in a good year, I could probably easily read three times that many. If I'm being honest with myself though, 35 books is a good year now. As unfortunate as that may be. 



Happy (Late) New Year to you all! I hope you have the very best of years this year. Tell me about the books you can't wait for that are being published this year :))

    I'm personally very excited about the last Raven Boys book coming out... ^.^

    those are some very nice goals! buying kpop albums is so much fun! I usually get mine from Amazon (which doesn't have some of the perks) or kpoptown (which has more perks--like posters and stuff--but it takes a lot longer to ship imo). I love the surprise of finding out what photocard/post you get! :)

    oooh we're both hoping to get our ears pierced! I already have them pierced once, but I want to get a helix piercing. they look soooo cool. :)

      Oooh me too! Which book's your favorite so far? I think mine is still the first one. The magic of the first meeting and all that. :D

      I've been browsing for a long time so I think I need to buy at least one this year. PHOTOCARDS. YES. I need photocards. I checked out ebay as an option as well and it seems like one of the cheaper options.

      *high five* Have to admit--I had to look helix piercing up lol. I've always thought they looked cool. Mine aren't pierced at all yet... I need cute studs in mah ears tho. :))

    Whatever Rainbow Rowell has planned for us this year, I'm super pumped about! I love anything she writes. She's a genius. I'm having a hard time coming up with any other 2016 releases at the moment, seeing as I'm super behind with most book series . . . (*coughs* Throne of Glass and The Raven Boys *coughs*)

    Great goals! :) I think the best thing you can do for yourself is setting something that's challenging but possible. I always love reading these "Hello, 2016" posts from my friends because it inspires me to have a positive outlook about things. Best of luck to you this coming year!

      I've only read Fangirl so far but I realllyy need to fix that this coming year. Oh yeah, I'm WAY behind on so many series too. (Including TOG but I'm not too crazy about it...)

      Thanks! Ditto because nothing good is gonna come out of setting impossible goals. You'll just beat yourself up. I love the new year posts so much too because I feel like it's one of the most personal posts that every book blogger does. :))Tysm. Good luck to you too! :D

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
