My easter bunny is a lazy ass and she brought me only one (1!!!) chocolate egg. I'm going to complain about it with the easter bunny's council... I hope they'll fire Watson since she's so lousy at her job 😒

I finally finished my first attempt at creating a funko pop! I've been seeing a lot of people taking other funko a and creating characters that aren't made! I decided that it was time that there was a MacKenna from the Doon Series pop! Although it isn't perfect, and I have a lot to learn, I am so proud of how it turned out! Being my first, I was nervous of screwing up because she is one of my all time favorite characters! Honestly it turned out so much better that expected! @doonseries

The Arcana Chronicles; Kresley Cole (many people debate whether this is YA or not; either way, there is “mature” content)

The Doon Quartet; Carey Corp and Lorie Langdon

The Madman’s Daughter Trilogy; Megan Shepherd

Shadow Falls Series; C.C. Hunter

Underland Chronicles; Suzanne Collins (this is a middle grade series, but are all still very good)

White Rabbit Chronicles; Gena Showalter

Book Review: Olivia Twist by Lorie Langdon

Book Review: Olivia Twist by Lorie Langdon

There is a reason why I was never a good literature student. The whole Elizabethan and victorian era is not for me 😛 Guess I am more into the present than looking back at past. OK Ok, I am wrapping up the BULL. The point is the classics are not my safe space. So Oliver Twist was also not something that I paid much attention in my school days but the whole synopsis and the setting started…

Olivia Brownlow is no damsel in distress. Born in a workhouse and raised as a boy among thieving London street gangs, she is as tough and cunning as they come. When she is taken in by her uncle after a caper gone wrong, her life goes from fighting and stealing on the streets to lavish dinners and soirees as a debutante in high society. But she can’t seem to escape her past … or forget the teeming slums where children just like her still scrabble to survive. Jack MacCarron rose from his place in London’s East End to become the adopted “nephew” of a society matron. Little does society know that MacCarron is a false name for a boy once known among London gangs as the Artful Dodger, and that he and his “aunt” are robbing them blind every chance they get. When Jack encounters Olivia Brownlow in places he least expects, his curiosity is piqued. Why is a society girl helping a bunch of homeless orphan thieves? Even more intriguing, why does she remind him so much of someone he once knew? Jack finds himself wondering if going legit and risking it all might be worth it for love. Olivia Twist is an innovative reimagining of Charles Dickens’ classic tale Oliver Twist, in which Olivia was forced to live as a boy for her own safety until she was rescued from the streets. Now eighteen, Olivia finds herself at a crossroads: revealed secrets threaten to destroy the “proper” life she has built for her herself, while newfound feelings for an arrogant young man she shouldn’t like could derail her carefully laid plans for the future.
