WELL...

So, my blog is pretty much turning into my diary... for now anyways.
It's currently 11:26pm here and I've been trying to write poems since 7:30pm (with breaks of course). Honestly, it's so difficult to find inspirations and to choose the right words. So, my advice would be to write everything that comes to mind and start from there. I did this a few times and the second time, I ended up with:

I hit my leg
I hit my nose
I start to bleed
Like a waterfall

It sucks to be
A clumsy bee
[...]

Totally random, but hey, it sounds pretty good... I guess. haha.

But I ended up writing about LOVE because that's where I'm more creative.

I'm literally obsessed with All I Ask by Adele and You Don't Own Me by Grace. It's crazy. I don't think I'll ever know what are the types of music I like to listen to. It really depends on my mood really; sometimes I would listen to heavy metal, other times I'd listen to old 70s, 80s and 90s songs. So, it all depends.

And about today, I actually planned to reach the 100 pages mark of Lolita, but that didn't happen because school and I was with my friend most of the time. Hopefully I'll be able to read more tomorrow.

Okay, enough for now. This is totally random. I might write an update again tomorrow.

Totally Should've Book TAG

[ Created by emmmabooks from Youtube ]

1. Totally should've gotten a sequel
Nantucket Blue Duology by Leila Howland. I honestly really enjoyed this summery read and I still want to go back into the story. I really want a third book! 

2. Totally should've had a spin off series
The Shatter Me Series by Tahereh Mafi. There are some characters in this series that I really enjoyed reading about and I wouldn't mind if Tahereh Mafi decides to write a series or a standalone on a character from her first trilogy.

3. An author who totally should write more books
L.A. Weatherly. Ahhh. I LOVED the Angel Series! It's so underrated, but I totally enjoyed reading about Willow and Alex and half angels. Anyway, that's the only series/books that L.A. Weatherly wrote as far as I know. I really hope she writes more books in the future!!!

4. A character who totally should've ended up with someone else
Oh, yes. So many series. Let's see. I didn't like how these series ended because the guy I rooted for since the beginning doesn't end up with the female protagonist: "The Summer I Turned Pretty" "Shatter Me" "Trylle" 

5. Totally should've ended differently
Besides those books, uhhhhh Allegiant. It should've definitely ended differently.

6. Totally should've had a movie franchise
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern. If it's not yet happening. 

7. Totally should've had a TV show
The Rosemary Beach Series by Abbi Glines. Hhaha if it ever happens, it should be entertaining with all the drama this series contain.

8. Totally should've had only one point of view
The Summer I Turned Pretty, just because I didn't want to know what the two brothers think. I just hate one of them and I feel bad for the other, so it was awful reading their POV. Lame excuse, I know. 

9. Totally should have a cover change
Easy. THE LUX SERIES BY JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT

10. Totally should've kept the original covers
All movie covers on books I guess.

11. Totally should've stopped at book one
Bared To You by Sylvia Day. Enough said. 

Currently Reading

Hey!
I have three more weeks of school!!!! YAY!
I'm trying to not stress myself out. It's currently 2:07am and I can't sleep, so I decided to write about what I'm currently reading.

So, based on my currently-reading shelf on Goodreads, I'm reading Lolita and A Little Life. Besides those two books, I'm listening to the audiobook version of The Siren by Kiera Cass and honestly the girl's voice sounds like Barbie's. lol.
I also started reading Tatiana and Alexander by Paullina Simons, but I haven't picked it up in two weeks.

I have a ton of unread books on my shelf and I still don't know what to read that will help my reading challenge. I need a quick read, but I'm not really in the mood for young adult and those are the ones I can read quickly.

What to do?

HELLO, again!

Hey readers!
Ah, it's been a while. I really really miss blogging and writing book reviews. Now that my semester is ending and summer is coming up, I'll start posting more on my blog.

I am planning to take two summer courses, so that I will only have six classes in my next two semesters. I just feel like seven is too much for me. I mean I can handle it, but there's always that one class that I do not focus on a lot because I have too much to do in other classes. Sooo... yeah. But I will still have time to read hopefully yes...yes.. I'll have time to read... It's only two classes...two intensive classes...ah.. we'll see.

Anyway, I'm currently behind my reading goal on goodreads and I'm a little stressed out with that. I will be participating in the upcoming readathons and hopefully that will help me catch up.

This Saturday is the Dewey's 24hour readathon and I'll be reading Possession by A.S. Byatt, Sweet Thing by Renee Carlino and Lolita by Nabokov.

Talk to you guys soon,
