Life of a Random

Yoooo it's the end of January. It has been COLD.  The good thing about coldness and tons of snow though is that (at least this time) classes got canceled. Which is completely legendary at my school.

But I do  want to read the two books below for sure.      Besides both of them counting for my 2015 book challenge, I've wanted to read both for a while and just haven't gotten around to it.  resolutions for the month 1. Create a Goodread's shelf for the books I want to read this year.  2. Set a time to work on blog stuff-- this will be super important to keep up because of school.  3.
