What I Got for Christmas 2016

Hello,  I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas or if you don’t celebrate a happy holiday. All December I didn’t really have the Christmas spirit until about the day before on Christmas Eve when I helped wrap gifts for my nieces, nephews and my son.  Since I am not a kid in the family anymore I didn’t expect to get anything besides what I asked for which was gift cards but Santa surprised me 😱…

This story follows ex-army soldier turned into private investigator Comoran Strike as he has been hired by a famous model’s brother John Bristow who believes that his sister suicide wasn’t in fact what it claimed to be. Going into this story I didn’t really have like super high hopes. A model commits suicide.. her brother thinks otherwise? Sounds interesting enough, but what really made me pick…

Music & Reading 

Do you listen to music while you read?  I use to think that this concept was absurd. Who wants to listen to music while they read ? It’s distracting. Don’t get me wrong I can read with like the tv on or something but I thought reading with music was not the way to go.  Until I tried it. Hypocrite of me to say something was absurd and I haven’t tried it. So with the new feature of Instagram…

November "TBR" 

November “TBR” 

November is here ! My favorite month of them all. Why? Because my birthday month 💁🏽 (2 days away) and thanksgiving 🦃.  This month I decided not to make a list of what I want to read because I always tend to not read everything on that list. I did make a TBR jar and put all the physical and ebooks I haven’t read into that jar. I figured that a TBR jar is less pressure and I don’t have to stress…

BOOK REVIEW: Throne of Glass and  Crown of Midnight

Where do I start? I never heard of Sarah J. Maas or any of her books until March of this year when I joined the app Books Amino and everyone was talking about A Court of Mist and Fury. At the time I wasn’t interested. Until August when I was in Target and I was looking for a new book to read, so I decided to pick up A Court of Thorns and Roses which was the best thing ever because that book blew…

Thrift Store Finds 

Do you buy your books brand new or go to secondhand stores? I love second hand stores to be quite honest because I don’t know the book just shows some character. Also because I don’t usually have enough money to buy books full price. Bummer I know 😕. Well, last week my family and I took a trip to the thrift store. I found some clothes and also some books. This day the workers were putting out new…
