It's a Random Day (Filled with Pizza)

I kind of dropped the ball last week and forgot to do a post that couldn't be scheduled (had to be written the day of ), thus kind of ruining my perfect posting schedule this semester. Since I was planning on writing a book review for this post and since I do not have a book review written because I haven't read a whole book in over a month, I'm just kind of doing a spontaneous idea/post/thing.  It actually feels nice after not doing it for so long. :) I guess what I'm going to do is... just talk about my day.  Maybe do a list about something. Who knows? (which is actually Monday, not Tuesday...so yeah kinda scheduling but whatevs) >>> I had my Honors American History 2 class this morning. My professor was a little dazed and confused because Monday (what other explanation does anyone need). We learned about some guy's principles of country hierarchy. Fun times.  >>> I walked back from class with this cool dude from ...

Review // The Bad Beginning (AKA A Series of Unfortunate Events #1)

Image
The Bad Beginning   by Lemony Snicket Pages: 162 Published: September 30, 1999 Genre(s): Middle Grade, Fantasy Cover Rating:   ★ ★ ★ ★  (I like it. I always like weirdly artistic covers and this does it for me.) Dear Reader,  I'm sorry to say that the book you are holding in your hands is extremely unpleasant. It tells an unhappy tale about three very unlucky children. Even though they are charming and clever, the Baudelaire siblings lead lives filled with misery and woe. In this short book alone, the three youngsters encounter a greedy and repulsive villain, itchy clothing, a disastrous fire, a plot to steal their fortune, and cold porridge for breakfast. It is my sad duty to write down these unpleasant tales With all due respect, Lemony Snicket ~~~ First of all, you should read my whole review before judging me all you Lemony-Snicket-lovers. I promise I don't hate on books. And because... Well. I liked it. Btw these actors were the perfec...

Guest Post // Staying on Top of Reviewing

When left to her own devices, Sophia naturally gravitates towards books. This has been proven through countless scientific studies. People in the "real world" know her as a pre-med chemistry major (who is obsessed with fiction reading). People in the "Internet world" know her as a reader of classics and YA (who also happens to be a chem nerd). Accost Sophia on Instagram , Twitter , Goodreads , and her blog, Ravens and Writing Desks! ~~~~ When Selena asked me to write about how I keep reviews coming even with a busy schedule, I kinda laughed. This post is evidence of my EXCELLENT planning skills – I kept promising Selena I’d write it and only now have finally gotten around to doing it ( Selena: aaand, I am just now posting this approximately 5 months later than I said I would. please forgive me of my sins. and my horrible memory ). And you somehow think that I am a good authority on maintaining a good posting schedule? Ha! However, I will try not ...

February Recap

Image
I wasn't able to finish any books this month. :( I'm working my way through Game of Thrones but that thing is a monster and I've only been able to read in chunks. Hopefully next month will be better!     Sit Still, Look Pretty by Daya Hate by 4 Minute I'm Him by Mino (WINNER. Super cool MV feels.) Feel So Good by BAP (chyeah baby) Honestly, once I hit about mid-month February I've been kind of on a all-entertainment-things-ban. Because school. And internships. And a stomach bug that hit me out of friggin nowhere.  But earlier this month I did  watch these shows a little bit: 1. Madame Antoine I looove this drama. I liked it so much that I binge-watched 4 episodes in one sitting. And that  is hardcore with K-dramas when the episodes are like one hour each. Anyway, it's about psychology + palm reading + all the chemistry + dysfunctional family vibes. 2. Monsta X - Right Now ...
