May TBR

This post is more so I can attempt to pull myself out of a reading slump that has lasted THREE MONTHS. The worst (and only bad thing) about being an English major is that you have so much reading to do that once I read all that, I'm too tired to read anything else. But here are the books I want to read in May

Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare
I have been putting off reading this because I know as soon as I finish this I am going to be reaching for the next book. Problem: It's not out yet. But now that it's coming out, I can finally read this book without scratching my hair out and DYING because the next book isn't out yet. I know this book  will be good because when isn't Cassandra Clare good? I can't wait. 

Pandemonium and Requiem by Lauren Oliver
Look at me reading things on my 2017 Ultimate TBR. I've finally pushed myself to a point where I can maybe pick up these books and read them. I should've read it ages ago but I did that stupid thing where I left it too long after reading the first book and then just didn't want to read the next one. But I am already like 20 pages in into Pandemonium and I am enjoying myself immensely! The second book of the series is about Lena trying to navigate her way through the Wilds and getting over what happened in the first book (no spoilers here homies).

I Am The Messenger by Markus Zuzak 
I picked this up for 50c because I can't go out without buying something. Everyone goes on about how great this book is. It's about the most boring man in the world Ed, whose life is pretty crap until one day he stops a bank robbery (he didn't try but these things happen haha). And after that he gets an ace card in the mail. And then everything blows up! I'm excited to read this.

Frostfire by Amanda Hocking 
This is a spin-off to the Trylle trilogy. Whilst that focused on the trylle, this focuses on a tracker named Bryn. She wants to be a tracker for the King's Guard but then her ex-boyfriend starts kidnapping changelings. So she has to go stop him. I love Amanda Hocking's writing so I am so excited to read this series because I know it's going to be great. I do hope that she does this spin-off series well.

Lorali by Laura Dockrill
I have been meaning to read this for like two years now (story of my life). This is about a boy, living in a small sea side town, waiting to get out (story of my life). When one day a girl turns up on the beach. Spoiler: He doesn't know she's a mermaid. I love mermaids. Which little girl was not obsessed with mermaids as a kid? I want more mermaid books like all the time about all things mermaid!



That's all from me. I hope you are having a great week. If you aren't, don't worry drink some tea and read a book
Lots of kisses XXXX
and
Much Love

July: Read, Reading and To Be Read

Image
WJuly is my last month to do some solid reading because university starts in August (which I suppose I should be excited for but I quite like doing what I want) and I've got to sort out other adult things in my life. Don't grow up it's shit. So I've been trying to power read through some books before I get busy. Also I've gotten like a lot of books because my friends got me a heap for my birthday in June. And then I've bought some too...whoops. I have to admit though, I'm not too Read I read The Magicians by Lev Grossman this month. If I'm being honest, I wish I liked this more than I did. People have said it's like an adult Harry Potter, which is true to an extent. There's definitely an R rated dynamic to it but I just found myself disappointed with the book once it finished. This is about Quentin Coldwater who is about to graduate high school and is obsessed with the Fillory series of books (which resembles Narnia very much). He feels emp...

My 5 Minute Spring Make-Up Look

Image
I am always in a rush. And I absolutely HATE HATE HATE being late. I never have the time to do my make-up because I'm really lazy and always rushing out the door. If I'm honest, I rather sleep in than do my make-up in the mornings. But sometimes you just need to put something on to look a bit more lively. L'Oreal True Match Foundation (shade: Cappuccino 8W) This does not feel like a foundation to me. It is super creamy and feels really nice on your skin. But at the same time, it doesn't make my skin look oily (and I get such oily skin). It's got medium coverage even though it has a lightweight consistency. Which is perfect for the summer, because I don't really want to be piling heavy amounts of makeup on myself in the hot sun. But when I do a bit more coverage I can build this foundation up. MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural Powder (shade: Dark) I've been using this as setting powder ever since I was 15. I can usually find a drug store foun...

January: Read, Reading and To Be Read

Image
Hello! This is actually the books I've read in December but I'm being cheeky and uploading it in January hehe. Hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas/New Year and that 2016 brings you all the best. Read The book I have read is Vanishing Acts by Jodi Picoult. I've spoken about this in my book haul and well it is quite a good book. Picoult's writing is so intricate that it continues with such a rhythmic flow that it's impossible to not enjoy her writing. This book is about Delia, who lives a charmed life. She lives with her daughter, her father and is soon to be married to her fiance, Eric and alongside them, their best friend, Fitz. Soon she learns that the life she holds dear, is not the whole truth. Her father gets arrested for kidnapping Delia from her mother when she was younger. Delia comes to learn that she's not really Delia but is actually Bethany who's mother didn't die when she was four. This is not the typical book that I would us...
