Just My LuckNightshades (Nightshades, #1)The Poppy War (The Poppy War, #1)

I needed a laugh, so I started Just My Luck yesterday. Not as funny as some of the author’s other works, but I’m enjoying it. I also started Nightshades yesterday, but it turned into more of a police procedural and… I think the main character annoys me. He is kind of an entitled prick. I’m 26% into it and think I might just give it another chapter or so before I give up on it.
I’m still working on The Poppy Warhopefully this week I’ll be able to read it steadily, a little every day instead. Continue reading “It’s Monday! What Are You Reading?”

G.I.V.E. T.H.A.N.K.S : A Thanksgiving Post

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! 

Now, as with most American holidays, I don’t completely agree with the background of it. Why do we keep celebrating horrible people?? Anyhow, what I do like about the holiday is the theme of family and looking back on things to be thankful for. 

For me, today is a day to step back, look at everything I have in my life, and be cognizant of how good my life is. Yes, I have stress in my everyday life and maybe I can’t always buy new books and clothes, but I’m super lucky to be able to live as comfortable as I do. 

So, today I’ll be listing books, authors, and a few other bookish things, in a list spelling out Give Thanks. I got this idea from Nerd Narration’s Top Ten Tuesday Post and thought it was just the coolest thing and here we are 🙂 Continue reading “G.I.V.E. T.H.A.N.K.S : A Thanksgiving Post”
