In My Reading Life


Last week, I finished Scythe by Neal Shusterman and The Complete Stories of Truman Capote by Truman Capote. Right now, I’m reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon and Some Possible Solutions: Stories by Helen Phillips.








In The Rest Of My Life


Five things that made me happy last week:

  1. Thank you to everybody who has entered my giveaway so far. I’m always paranoid that nobody will enter.
  2. I won a giveaway, and I’m getting Dread Nation, my most-anticipated release of 2018!
  3. I’ve been finding so many new blogs to follow recently. I guess a lot of people start (or restart) blogs in January.
  4. I got new running shoes and a new black trench coat. Now I kinda look like a sporty vampire hunter.
  5. New season of Survivor.





Take care of yourselves and be kind to each other! See you around the blogosphere!

  7. I've got Scythe to read and have been wondering about it. I didn't think it would be my thing but another blogger recommended it very strongly, so now I'm thinking of reading it soon? I guess Dred Nation is supposed to be pretty good too!

    Vampire hunter lol.

  9. I always get nervous people won't enter my giveaways, too. I'll check yours out and enter. :) Congrats on winning your most anticipated read for 2018! I do love trench coats, or any long coats for that matter. I feel so put together when I wear them, plus, they're nice and warm, and great for vampire hunting if the mood strikes you. :)

  19. I haven't heard of a lot of these. Just looked up Dread Nation. Think I'll have to add that one to my wish list. Hope you have a great week.

  26. Books I Would Take to a Dessert Island is such a great blogging idea. My list would include; Anne of Green Gables series, all of Jane Austen, and the Little House series.

  28. Ha! I thought I was the only one who got nervous about giveaways. Like, no one is going to care or enter. I think we underestimate the power of free stuff. Running shoes and a black trench... I would avoid you if I saw you out running. :) That’s fierce.

  29. If I were on an island I'd want a blank book, a dictionary, and selection of pencils. I enjoyed The Incident of the Dog in the Night Time. I hope you do too. Come see what I've read.
