Books Read this Week:
Love and Other Words by Christina Lauren: THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD! It's made me want to read all of Christina Lauren's other books. I need more!
Aces of Shade by Amanda Foody: Such an exciting series opener! Just wish I didn't have to wait a year until the next one :(
The Rules of Rebellion by Amity Hope: Another adorable and heartwarming read from Amity!
Winter Glass by Lexa Hillyer: I thought Spindle Glass was good but this took everything to a whole new level. Sad to see this series end, but I can't wait to see what Lexa has in store for us next.
Breaking the Ice by Julie Cross: Everyone's been singing praises for this since last year, but of course I didn't listen and now I'm hitting myself over the head for it. This was so stinkin' cute! The chemistry, the characters, the slight mystery - I was enamored!
Zombie Abbey by Lauren Baratz-Logsted: Lauren's books are usually very hit-or-miss for this me, but I enjoyed this one. It's an odd little book that's for sure - kind of reminds me of a Downtown Abby meets Santa Clarita Diet. I'll be curious to see if there's a sequel - the ending was very open-ended. Life Update:
Another week gone in the blink of an eye!
Easter went well. My mom spoiled me with an Easter basket, which made me happy. I may be 22, but I still love getting a basket full of candy. And the hummingbird cake turned out to be DELICIOUS! Seriously, if you love bananas/pineapples, you have to try it. It's the perfect amount of sweet - not overwhelming but sweet enough to keep you content - and the cream cheese icing was a great touch. But lets be serious I'd just eat a plate of cream cheese icing for dessert if that was acceptable lol I wish I had a picture of it to share but it disappeared before anyone could take one :(
I also went shopping yesterday and found not one but two things I liked, which is so rare! I'm incredibly picky when it comes to clothes/shoes since I know that if I only half like something I'll never wear it. I got an adorable pair of flats from TJMax (they were originally $70 but I got them for $30!) and a simple yet cute dress from Banana Republic (another steal - originally $70 but I got it for $28!). Unfortunately, the shoes and dress won't work together but I'll survive lol
In the last bit of news this week:
I hit 100 (!!!!) books in my Goodreads challenge this week. I don't know how I've managed this and I don't know if the pace will continue, but for now I'm celebrating.
Have a great week everyone! :)
