To-Read Lists!

|

Hiya Guys!

So like everyone who loves books, I have a to-read list. Some of it is rereads, others are completely new reads that I’ve picked up in a book store for any reason, either the cover, genre or the author. 

Right now,  my to read list is pretty small, as I’m pretty tight on money and can’t afford to go out and buy a lot of books (but I still do, and hope I have enough for food) 

I try to get through my to read pile at a decent rate, but usually don’t as I’ll start a new book or have a “book Hangover” and I just can’t read another book as I’m still living in the world of the last one. This happened a lot after finishing The Mortal Instruments. I read the whole series one after the other until I was finished, so I struggled to read any other books for a while, or remember what happened in each separate book. So now I try to take my time when reading a book series as I don’t want to worry about spoilers when talking about a book series.

So my current to read list is;

  • The Beautiful Creatures (Book 1) – Kami Garcia  (New)
  • Kissed By An Angel – Elizabeth Chandler (Reread)
  • I Hate Myseflie – Shane Dawson (New)
  • City of Bones – Cassandra Clare (Rereading)
  • The Maze Runner – James Dashner (New)

This doesn’t include any books from my most recent book buying spree, which will be in a future book haul post, but I think its enough to get through about a month and a few bus and train jounerys.

Do any of you guys have a to read or a must reads list? If you do comment it down below and we can swap ideas, who knows we may even find each other a new favourite book!

Until Next Time

The Daydreamer award!

|

So about a week (or more, my time keeping is horrible) after being nominated I’m finally getting around to completing this post!

So Firstly I want to thank Madam_W for nominating me! Thank you so so much this really did make me smile!

Also I want to thank Caitlin who created this award. So check them out!

Again, there are rules for this award, and I copy-pasted them for you:

1) Thank the person who gave you the award.
2) Complete the challenge they set you.
3) Select a blog or blogs that you want to give the award to. (The amount of blogs you select in unlimited!)
4) Tell them about it and set them a challenge.
5) You can link my blog at the bottom (but only if you want to).

My response to Madam W’s challenge

So I have to share an embarrassing or funny story about myself. This is actually really difficult as I have so many embarrassing story’s as I am extremely clumsy and I fall a lot. So I will use my most recent fall as my embarrassing story.

I went to the Kerrang! Tour in Dublin last month, and as our hotel was only a short walk from the venue, my partner and I decided to walk back. As usual everything was normal, I was walking like a normal person then boom! I slipped on a grate. In the middle of the road. With traffic coming. It wasn’t even a gracious slip, it was like I decided I had to rug the road. I got up as quickly as I could, and after I got off the road, I noticed I couldn’t walk on my left ankle. This lead to about a full week of limping around and not having the ability to walk at all. And trust me, me limping is even funnier than me falling down, its a slight to see as I can barely walk as it is, so then I just turn into a lop sided person who has lost all control. My Ankle still hurts now.. I should probably see a doctor..

Anyway… The Nominees are: *drums roll please*

Opinionated Man (As he already is really interesting so I think he’ll far well with my challenge)

And anyone else who wants to try this!

My Challenge to you:

I took my time thinking about this.. and I would like you guys to write an informercal script for whatever if sitting next to you on your right.

I know thats crappy, but infomericals are cheesy as hell and are usually quite funny, so have some fun with it! Make soap have healing powers or a towel also double as a shoe.

Have some fun with it!!

Bucket Lists

Featured |

I’m nearly sure pretty much everyone has a list of things they want to do with their life. I know I do and I have had since I was about fourteen. I use it as something to aim towards, like the new years resolutions I make every year.

I like having a “Bucket List” as it gives me something to aim towards even when I’m having a low day, so I thought I’d share it with you guys.

  • Feed A Penguin
  • Have one Published book
  • Be my own boss
  • Get Married
  • Have 3 – 5 children
  • Be Happy with my weight
  • Move to the South of Ireland
  • Own my own car
  • Own my own home
  • Be able to Speak French
 
Some of these are pretty basic life things to most people, like owning your own home or car but to me, they’d show me I’d succeed with my life. I also know one of them is strange as most people don’t aspire to feed a penguin, but they’re one of my favourite animals, and they’re probably the most docile of my favourites. 
I also have my new years resolutions, which I try to set every year. I set anything from three to five, and tend to only keep two or three, but I do start work on all of them. This year they are;
 
  • Start Actively learning French
  • Loose 20 – 30 LBS
  • Go back to tech and gain a new qualification
  • Start and stick to an exercise programme
  • Learn to Knit, Sew or Crochet
So far on these I’ve lost 7lbs, looked into French lessons online, downloaded exercise programmes and made a start on learning to sew so its looking good so far 🙂 
 
Do any of you guys set bucketlists or Resolutions each year? Comment them down below and maybe we can help each other!
 
Until Next Time!

I’m writing a book!

Featured |

Hi Guys!

When I was in school, I wrote a short story, kind of thing, and now that I’m a lot older and slightly wiser with far too much spare time I’ve decided to work on it to turn it from fifty pages of nonsense to a proper, decently written book.

When I first wrote this, it was a three part series (kind of) and it revolved around a girl called Ellie who had moved to a new country after something happened in her home town. I would say its a dark romance novel. There aren’t any mythical creatures in it, but there are some extremely evil characters. 

I’ve wanted to start back onto editing this for a long time as I believe I’ve improved my writing skills since I first wrote this, but I also know I may change the name slightly.

As I get on in the editing process I may even post a few spinets on here to see what you guys think and if any of you actually like it.

Until Next Time!
