To be honest, I took on far too many challenges this year and set my goals far too high. I had a hard time even keeping track of them! Next year I’m going to limit myself to 4 challenges maximum!

Hosted by Two Chicks on Books 1. Talon by Julie Kagawa It’s no secret that I adore Julie. And a series about DRAGONS? How much more epic could it get?! 2. Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor I freaking love the world in Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and the sequel was amazing. Can’t wait to see what happens next! 3. Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi I was blown away by Unravel Me (I wasn’t a […]
I may not watch much TV, but I am a HUGE fan of movies! My all time favorite movie EVER is: Seriously, it is epic. EPIC, I TELL YOU. How epic, you ask? Well, I went to see it 7 times in theater. Yes, that’s right, seven times. No, I’m not kidding. Twice in IMAX 3D, twice in regular 3D, and the rest were all regular 2D. Mind you, IMAX 3D is about $20 a ticket, and regular 3D is $13-15. It […]
Okay, how many times have I said, “Ohh I need to read this so bad!” and I put it off….and put it off….and a year passes and I STILL haven’t read it.

Hosted by Two Chicks on Books *ONLY books released in 2013 1. Parasite by Mira GrantThis cover is so simple but it’s one of my favorite covers, ever. 1) it’s red, of course I’m going to love it and 2) I love that it actually looks like a pill packet, with one removed. It’s visually appealing to me in some undefinable way, and it’s relevant to the story! 2. Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April […]
Let me just say this: I love Anita. LOVE. She’s one of the most awesome authors I’ve ever talked to! I enjoyed Splintered, but Unhinged was even better! And no, I’m not biased just because I like the author. The world is a deliciously macabre version of the original, and I was thrilled to dive back in! I love Anita’s writing. She can paint the scenes in my head vividly and beautifully! The world building is one of my favorite […]
