Friday Reads & TV Shows










Last week I did my Friday reads as a video, and that was suppose to be the plan for this week as well but everything went wrong. First the sun was not working with me at all today. I said I would always do my Friday reads by the fireplace (at least there's a picture!) and Mr. sun did not like that idea today. He made it impossible to do. Since the fireplace is close to my French doors there was no blocking the sun off. Then I got a new computer yesterday and it has window's 8 which I am not use to at all and the movie maker is completely different. For some reasons my videos would not upload to movie maker to edit. Everything has been so hectic and annoying, but when I think about it maybe it worked out for the best. I feel like my YouTube channel gets more love from me then the blog does maybe this is a way to change that. So without farther explanation here is my Friday Reads:
I will be reading Of Triton which I have already started and I am enjoying it. I am about 100 pages in. Even though I am enjoying it I am not enjoying it as much as I did Of Poseidon, but it is early in the game so I am not too worried about it we"ll see where it goes. Besides Of Triton I don't know what other books I will be reading this weekend. I don't like planning those things. I like to see how I feel after finishing one book and then search our bookshelves and see what books I have not read yet then see what book I am feeling.
Now on to the TV shows. Of course I will be watching Once Upon A Time I have to catch up. I am sadly still on the second season! I love this show so much and it is making me really want to get into reading retellings of fairy tales. Now that is my guilty pleasure, but Chris is determined to find a TV show he likes. Last night we watched House of Cards. We only watched the first episode and even though we thought it was odd we liked it. I cannot wait to see the next episode which we will be watching tonight! We will see if this is another show we get hooked on.
So that is my Friday reads & TV shows I hope you enjoyed it! Let me know what books you are reading and shows you are loving right now. I hope you guys are having a great Friday!

Back to School: Percy Jackson Style

As any fangirl or fanboy wherever you go you want to show your love of books. Being lovers of books we are a unique kind. We crush over fictional characters, they become our best friends, when they hurt we hurt. Books are our escape, our passion, our fun, hobby, friend, books are our lives. Pride comes with being a book nerd and it's something you should embrace. These books we love sometimes take over. We love them so much we want to be a part of that world. I wanted to help find ways for you to always feel close to your favorite books and characters. This week I wanted to do Percy Jackson because I mean who doesn't like Percy Jackson?! These outfits are loosely inspired by some of the loved characters from The Percy Jackson series or the book covers. I stayed on pinterest for hours (shocker right?) to find outfits that have simple pieces that you can find in your closet or wouldn't be hard to find for a good price at stores. I also wanted to find outfits that...

BACK TO SCHOOL: Schools in Books

This week on Back to School I wanted to help you guys feel in sync with some great characters. I wanted to pick some books for you guys that I love that take place in school environments. Now school will not be the main point or problem these characters go through, but they do go through some of the tough situations and stress you guys do at school. Some characters live on campus and deal with the drama of being independent for the first time, missing home, the struggle of finding who they truly are, drama, and parties. College is a hard time for many people because you are finding your own self on your own terms. Mommy and daddy aren't there to tell you what to do or how to act. Some struggle while others flourish.   I HAD to put girls in this post that loved to learn and enjoyed the structure of school. I sometimes forget that learning can be looked at on a bright note. It's hard to remember that when you have 5 gazillion papers to write. I picked two girls I thought...

Review: Becoming Alpha by Aileen Erin

Title: Becoming Alpha  Author: Aileen Erin  Genre: Paranormal Fantasy  Pages: 267 Goodreads Overall Rating: 4.11 Published:  December 17th, 2013 by Ink Monster, LLC   My Rating:  I can’t do that. I can’t turn my emotions off and on like that. I’m either all in or all out. And if you can’t do that—if I don’t come first, then for God’s sake, leave me alone. Becoming Alpha is the true definition of YA paranormal fantasy and I devoured it. Erin took troupes that are known in YA and ran with them in fun, plausible, and exciting ways while taking her own spin on them. I sped through this book and right after I downloaded the next book in the series because I couldn't wait for the two-day shipping of the physical book.  At the beginning of the book, we meet our main character Tessa and her family. Tessa has an unusual gift and it has marked her as the odd girl out at and causing her to feel isolated. With her family...
