Halloween Spirit Haul








I wanted to get books to get me into the spirit for Halloween. Now mind you, I do NOT like to get scared. I am a HUGE chicken and proud of it. I blame it on my cousin who made me watch Scream at a young age. I mean some of the trick or treaters that show up at the house freak me out. I don't give candy to the kids dressed as Scream....just kidding.
 





But what I do enjoy is reading paranormal books thinking MAYBE situations can happen. Maybe there are more than one world, maybe there are magic worlds and we just don't know it because we are a bunch of muggles. Don't hate on me, but when I read Twilight which I loved and still do. I couldn't help but think what if sexy vampire and werewolves were real? I CALL JACOB!!!! this is the time of year to let your mind go wild and let your imagination run wild like it use to when you were a child. I bought 7 books to read to get me into the spirit and I also got a couple of other things I think you guys will like =)

Old Magic
Jessica from a GREAT read recommended this book to me. She is a great review with incredible taste so I trust her judgment. If you haven't checked her blog out than you need to as soon as you finish reading this post!
 
The Summoning
Goodreads recommended this to me. I thought it sounded interesting and thought this would be the best time to read it.
Don't Look Back
JLA wrote this. Done deal. Plus look at how creepy the cover is!!!
 
Sweet Evil
I know this isn't really a "creepy" book, but I have been dying to read this, and I think I will need something to read in between these books that is a light fun read to keep me from going into a book hangover.
Hex Hall
I LOVED Rebel Belle so when I saw that Hawkins wrote this book too it was a done deal.

Illusions of Fate
I picked this book up and started reading it in the store and could NOT put it down. It is fantastic so far!!!
 
The Nightmare Affair
I got this an audio. Goodreads recommended this to me too so we will see how it goes.
Of course I had to get a Halloween mug to drink my tea in while I read =)  How cute is this Peanuts mug?!
and I had to get a movie to watch in between reading!!!!
 
I  hope I can get to all these books before Halloween. I have a HUGE test Friday a wedding Saturday BUT after the test I have nothing else to do and I have a entire day to read before the wedding Saturday. I also get Monday and Tuesday off so I am planning on doing ALOT of reading. I wish I would have thought of it earlier and did a read a long with you guys =(
What are you guys reading? If there is a book that you see on here that you think I should read first (after Illusions of Fate since I started that in the bookstore) Leave a comment letting me know
*ALSO please go to my last post and let me know what other types of posts you would like to see on here. I think it is important to hear from you guys so don't be shy!!!!!

Healthy Reading Snacks

If you are anything like me you love to snack. As I have mentioned on here before I have been working hard to change my eating habits. So here are some healthy snack ideas that you can try next time you are wanting a nice snack to munch on while reading a great book. Frozen Grapes  The first one if the easiest. You take grapes, wash them, put them in a freezer friendly container, and then put them in the freezer. I like to leave them in the freezer for at least 3 hours. Over night is best. Quick tip: If you have a soar throat frozen grapes feel AMAZING on your throat. My mom use to make them for me when I had strep throat.  If you want something sweet but don't want the guilt, this tea is for you. It is rich and chocolaty with a little kick, and no ingredients that are bad for you.  This is a black tea so it has CAFFEINE. In case you cannot see the tea's name it is Numi Indulgent Tea Chocolate Spice  Zucchini Pizza  What You need : One Me...

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...

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...
