Reflection Time: December 2013

Taken just now...lol
Hey Everyone!

So this month started off as the most stressful month ever. I think at the beginning of the month, I was just ready for Christmas break. The third day of the month, though! I was supposed to present a debate, but my partner and I did the wrong side (it was a confusing topic), I was under the weather, and I almost got hit by a car who saw me. Yeah.... what a lovely way to start of December.

I also had finals this month. It was an exceptionally stressful time and I have never felt more stressed in my life. I felt the need to suck on my tea whenever I could and watch Supernatural and not do homework. I also found myself worrying that I could not be in school because of my Spanish grade (as of writing this on the 11th...this part anyways... I didn't know my score). I also found myself wanting to go more into trying to get published. Yeah... STRESSING!

My roommate, Hannah, and I exchanged gifts and I giggled like crazy when I opened mine. She had gotten me a target bag full of One Direction things. Magnets, tape, a notebook, dry erase boards, stickers, and a pen and pencil. I couldn't help but laugh because she knows me too well, I gotta love my boys. She doesn't even like One Direction much, but she still put their stickers (with their faces) on the back of her phone.

When we went home for Christmas, I was so relieved and... life is good. I was just excited to gloat to my siblings about not having school when they did. I was most excited to spend time with my family over the holidays and get the books I had been wanting.

I also finished one of my stories, so that was exciting. My goal was to finish it by the 31st and I did it! I finished it by the 31st! I was close to tears when it was over, I didn't have a clue what to do with myself because I started it last January!

How were your holidays? Did you get whatever it is you wanted for Christmas?

I Caved...BOOK HAUL #2 FOR NOVEMBER!

Hey Everyone!

I seemed to have caved with my book ban. I had a feeling I would, though. I have no self control. If you have the same problem, I suggest you watch Marcus Butler's new video. I will put it at the end of the post for all of you to enjoy.

Anyways, after I said I was going to ban myself from buying books, I went on amazon and saw that there were two books (a series) for $10. Quite frankly, I couldn't pass that up because they were so cheap. One was a preorder as well!

So here is my list which will most likely round out my November:
Angelfall by Susan Ee
World After by Susan Ee
Insurgent by Veronica Roth
Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn

I ordered all of them on Thursday so I haven't read any of them as they haven't come in the mail yet. I can also cross two books off of my To Buy for Christmas list to myself. The books on my list were Insurgent and Dash & Lily's Book of Dares. I only have eight more to go!




Until Next Time,

To Buy: Christmas Reading Books

Hey Everyone!

Tis the season where Christmas is upon us and I needed to spice up my bookshelf with some lovely Christmas reads. Since I have most of December off from school (and the entirety of January), I was thinking some winter books were needed to be boughten for my mind to eat up!

So here I compiled a list of books I will be purchasing over the next few weeks to be boughten and read:


  1. Dash and Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn and David Levithan
  2. Let it Snow: Three Holiday Romances by John Green, Lauren Myracle, and Maureen Johnson
  3. The Tragedy Paper by Elizabeth Laben
  4. The Archived by Victoria Schwab
  5. The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken
  6. The Selection by Kiera Cass
  7. The Elite by Kiera Cass
  8. Insurgent by Veronica Roth
  9. Allegiant by Veronica Roth 
  10. A Song of Ice and Fire Box Set by George R.R. Martin
In total, that brings me to 13 books I want to buy. I will probably begin buying these in the next few weeks. I am excited to buy the Game of Thrones books because everyone has been raving about it. I wanted the first two on the list to be Christmas related and c'mon, who wouldn't buy some good ol' John Green?

Until Next Time,
