Happy Monday!

(I'm currently writing this on Sunday night, and can barely string two words together because of lack of sleep and a previous night of shenanigans. So. I really hope this makes sense!) Read last week Elementals: The Head of Medusa by Michelle Madow, which was cute, fun, and fast-paced, but I struggled with the first half, so I gave it 3.5 stars. I'm a part of the review tour and my date is the...

My intimidating TBR book tag!

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've done a book tag and thought this would be a fun one, since I've come to realize that some books honestly intimidate me. This is the only place where I can confess that and get utter sympathy and understanding in return, since the my family and friends always look at me as if I'm crazy if I say a book intimidates me. THEY JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. So, without further...

Happy Monday!

Hey, hey y'all! I had a pretty uneventful week last week, except for this major shopping trip I went on Saturday. I splurged on a small Michael Kors backpack because it was on sale, and I've been pining for it for months now. That, my friends, is the worlds way of saying "BUY THAT SHIT." So I did. #treatyoself Read last week NOTHING. I'M SORRY, I FINISHED NOTHING, OH MY FREAKING GOD. I blame Outlander. I started that show on a whim one day last week, and I became hooked. I have a 7 day free trail...

Top favorites from the first half of 2016!

Hey guys! I figured, since it's June and we're half way through the year, that I would show you what my favorite books are so far. Without further ado, let's get into it!

Though it started out a little slow and similar to many other fantasy books, Wilhelmina and her gang really came into their...

Happy Monday!

Another week, another Monday blog post. I'm getting really, really into VSCOcam, and seriously would love to follow anyone on there. It's almost like my picture diary; I post things on there I would never post on Instagram. I'm not sure if it's because none of my friends have an account, so I have a sense of absolute anonymity on it, or if it's the outline of the app itself. Who knows! I absolutely adore it though, and have to constantly hold back from uploading a million pictures at a time. What...

May 2016 wrap-up and June TBR!

May was a looooooong month for me. April went by in the blink of an eye, but May dragged. I think it's because I had so much going on (traveling, BEA, visiting friends, finals) that I felt like I was wading through mud because I was always wishing it was a day or a week later, especially that first week with finals. BEA and seeing all my friends was super nice, but there's nothing like getting back...
