What's Wrong With Me??

     Why can't I ever buckle down and do my homework? It's not always homework, it's chores, too. I always have something better to do. Like right now, I should really be working on the homework that my teachers gave me to catch up on, but no, I'm sitting here writing about what I should be doing. I'm so lame. The main reason that I don't want to do my homework right now is that I want to read. Why aren't I reading, you might ask? My mom took away my books... I hate it when she does that. I know exactly where they are. I just can't get them because she is RIGHT there, and even if I could get them, I have nowhere to hide them when she comes in my room. Really sucks for me that I cleaned my room. On a normal day, I could just toss it on the floor, and it would go unnoticed. My mom could just walk in and be totally oblivious to it, because there's a plethora of other things already on the floor. You wouldn't even know that there was a floor. So much stuff... Now if she came in and I tried hiding my book by throwing it on the floor, I might as well just stick it in a display case with flashing arrows pointing to it, and a sign on top that says: "Look, Mom! I sneaked into your room and stole my books back!" Maybe there would even be a built in speaker. That's how clean my room is. The only plausible place to hide my books is on my bookshelf. I wouldn't have enough time to save my spot, close the book, run across my room, stick the book in the correct location on my bookshelf in alphabetical  order by author's last name, run back to my bed, get my heart rate down, and look like I was doing my homework all along before my mom got to my room. Maybe I could hide the book in my pillows... For now, I think I'd better just get to work.

Fallen by Lauren Kate- Video Review!

     Here is the link to my video review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02e7leWwDTI&feature=youtu.be

March Wish List

     I've recently noticed that when I get money, I rarely actually buy the books on my wishlists. The only one I can think of is Good Oil, from my August wishlist, which actually has a different name for some reason: Love, and Other Perishable Items. So now, I shall put three books that I will for sure buy in the future.

The sky is dark with wings . . . .

Like sand in an hourglass, time is running out for Luce and Daniel. To stop Lucifer from erasing the past they must find the place where the angels fell to earth. Dark forces are after them, and Daniel doesn’t know if he can do this—live only to lose Luce again and again.

Yet together they will face an epic battle that will end with lifeless bodies . . . and angel dust. Great sacrifices are made. Hearts are destroyed. And suddenly Luce knows what must happen.

For she was meant to be with someone other than Daniel. The curse they’ve borne has always and only been about her—and the love she cast aside. The choice she makes now will be the only one that truly matters.

In the fight for Luce, who will win?

The astonishing conclusion to the FALLEN series. Heaven can’t wait any longer.

Cassia’s journey began with an error, a momentary glitch in the otherwise perfect façade of the Society. After crossing canyons to break free, she waits, silk and paper smuggled against her skin, ready for the final chapter.

The wait is over.

One young woman has raged against those who threaten to keep away what matters most—family, love, choice. Her quiet revolution is about to explode into full-scale rebellion.

With exquisite prose, the emotionally gripping conclusion to the international–bestselling Matched trilogy returns Cassia, Ky, and Xander to the Society to save the one thing they have been denied for so long, the power to choose.

Nora and Patch thought their troubles were behind them. Hank is gone and they should be able to put his ugly vendetta to rest. But in Hank's absence, Nora has become the unwitting head of the Nephilim and must finish what Hank began. Which ultimately means destroying the fallen angels - destroying Patch.

Nora will never let that happen, so she and Patch make a plan: lead everyone to believe they have broken up, and work the system from the inside. Nora will convince the Nephilim that they are making a mistake in fighting the fallen angels, and Patch will find out everything he can from the opposing side. They will end this war before it can even begin.

But the best-laid plans often go awry. Nora is put through the paces in her new role and finds herself drawn to an addictive power she never anticipated.

As the battle lines are drawn, Nora and Patch must confront the differences that have always been between them and either choose to ignore them or let them destroy the love they have always fought for.

Saturday! Six More Events in My Boring Life

1. I FINALLY reviewed a book on Youtube!! Fallen by Lauren Kate!! I'll post the video in another post.

2. If I can get 50 comments on any of my posts or videos, I will start giving things away. These could include books and other paraphernalia related to books. If you like free things, start commenting!

3. Summer cannot come soon enough for me. I am so depressed! There is way too much snow!!!!! White and wet everywhere! This is NOT okay! I wish I lived in Florida. Or at least Ireland so I could be preoccupied with everyone's amazing accent.

4. I had to clean my room so that I could empty my desk and move it out of my room. This was to make room for........ TWO NEW BOOKSHELVES THAT I HAVE YET TO BUY!!!!!! :D The one bookshelf that I currently have is about to explode. I haven't a millimeter of room left on that poor soul. The paycheck after the one I get this week will pay for them! :)

5.  I made up a joke! What did Margaret get for her 75th surprise birthday? A heart attack! :D

6. Are you as excited as I am for the Mortal Instruments: City of Bones movie?? Oh my gosh! I loooove Jamie as Jace. I expected someone younger and smaller to play Clary. I hope Lily Collins does a good job. That is all for now. Clearly my life IS really boring at the moment.
                           Happy Reading!

Going Overboard

I should be finishing my art project now, but instead, I'm doing this. So, I went to Walmart today, and I'm going to be in aerobics next semester, so I got some athletic wear for class. No, I didn't get some, I got a closet full. I bought three pairs of yoga pants, two pairs of athletic leggings, a short sleeved athletic shirt, a long sleeved athletic shirt, both stay dry material, five sports bras, and a pair of athletic shoes. I am going to be the envy of the class. Haha! I'm definitely the type of person who likes to go overboard. One time, I was on a health kick, and I went out and bought like, $200 worth of organic healthy fresh foods. I cooked healthy meals for maybe, like, three days, exercised for two, drank lots of water for five, then went back to eating super unhealthy convenient food. I am bad at sticking to things. Luckily this is a semester class with my best friend, so I can't give up. It's impossible. I CAN, however, cheat. Like, not really push myself, and walk when the teacher isn't looking. So wish me luck. I'm wearing some of my new clothes now, and I feel really springy. I'm going to go for a jog maybe when my project is cooking.

And I Thought I Was Doing So Well...

Several hours later, I'm still working on the same assignment. I got several long written responses finished though, so I give myself credit for that. I'm going to continue to post until I have to leave and get ready for school. I'm a wreck. I'm about to make coffee or something. I've been guzzling down bottles of fresh, lemony, sugar-free fizzy drink. Ha ha! British for a second. Anyways, it's actually sparkling water, so, yeah. I'm listening to a lot of upbeat, happy music, but I'm slipping slowly slipping into zombie mode. Luckily, when I'm in zombie mode, it's like I'm on autopilot. Hence, I still manage to finish my work, somehow. Actually, I finish it faster usually. Hmm... Maybe I should let myself go... He he. Well my teachers are all crazy. OOH! Update on Wonderland. So far, I have three songs. "Wonderland", "Love Like That", and "Fools". My favorite is "Fools" because it's about me again. That sounds weird.. But the other two aren't exactly autobiographical. It's about the cute, distracting guy in my art class that I mentioned earlier. I'm glad I can be so bold on the internet at 4:30 AM, because he will never ever read my blog. If I was in my "right" mind, I would stress about the fact that my friends who know about my blog could tell him and direct him this way. But Hakuna Matata. No worries for the rest of my days. The dark hours have a way of placating my mind. Feast your eyes now, though, because this post will most likely be edited, along with the other one that mentioned him, tomorrow at some point. Oh, another thing. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. My back is soooo screwed up. So wish me luck. I'll be back sometime in the next our. I'm out.

Book Challenge Again.

So, two minutes later, no homework done, and I'm writing another post. I entered another book challenge. I have to read six books by the end of January. So here are mine
Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater finished January 2nd
Hopeless by Colleen Hoover- No progress whatsoever
Infinite Days by Rebecca Maizel- No progress, and I don't even know what it's about
Nine Lives of Chloe King by Liz Braswell- 7% finished
Your Guardian Angel by Skyla Madi- Not started

And then The author that's new to me
Wake by Amanda Hocking. But I'm changing that to Love and Other Perishable Items by Laura Buzo, because I had wanted to read that forever, but I thought it was called Good Oil, not that, so I just now figured it out and bought it. The rational human being would think, "Oh, this book looks really cute! Why isn't it available in the US??? Hmm, well there's another book by this author that is available. I'll check and see if THAT looks any good." And then I would've seen that it had the same blurb about it that Good Oil did, and I would've realized that, Hey! It was just published under a different title here! How funny! Anyways, my point is that I could've read it a lot sooner, but I had to be stupid and not look at Buzo's other book. But I finished it in one day, and she IS a new author to me, so I think I'm going to replace Wake with Love and Other Perishable Items. I don't think I'll have time for a seventh book.
