Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2) by Sarah J. Maas

Synopsis: 4 out of 5 stars
Crown of Midnight was definitely an improvement after Throne of Glass. After reading Throne of Glass, which was definitely the tamer of the two, for the first time, I honestly didn't know if I was going to finish the series. But, of course, I picked up Crown of Midnig…

Recommendations: If You Like This... Then Read This...

Today's recommendation was expected, I think. I recently read one of the books and I loved it! The story is incredible and while I was reading it, I couldn't help but think it reminded of a certain book. The recommendations I'm making today: If you read 1984 by George Orwell, then read…

Cover Reveal: Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass #5) by Sarah J. Maas + Title Reveal for Red Queen #3 by Victoria Aveyard

I'm awfully late with this, but the cover for the fifth Throne of Glass book, Empire of Storms was revealed! (without my knowledge) I'm currently reading the Throne of Glass series so I'm taking careful pains to absorb all the information I could about this series, because I'm rath…

Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass #1 ) by Sarah J. Maas

Synopsis:
















3.5 out of 5 stars
I had this book on my to-read list forever, and when I finally bought it, it sat on a stack for a few more months. Which was through no fault of mine (lies) I had many books to read before I finally got to this one. (I purchased more books while this one sat, and if that…

10 Of My Favorite Movies Of All Time (Thus Far)




While your going through the movies I've listed, you probably think: "Seriously, those are her favorite movies of all time?" So before you go on reading this post I feel I need to defend choice of films and preferences. I enjoy strange and usual movies. However, while I was editing this post, I did notice that a lot of these movies are ones without "happy endings", which is quite depressing, really. I mean what does that say about me? Nothing bad I hope.

I absolutely love love love this movie! Its so fast-paced, and puzzling. You have to watch it from the very beginning and follow along closely to really understand what's going on. Robert Downey Jr. is naturally funny and his role as Sherlock Holmes was incredible. Jared Harris, who plays the evil and conniving professor was also amazing. (F.Y.I, he also played Hodge in City of Bones movie.)
At first, I would always only watch bits and pieces of this movie, never really the entire thing. But when I finally got around to watching the whole film, I really enjoyed it. Who doesn't want to watch Bradley Cooper and the debatably already crazy (in the best way possible) Jennifer Lawrence play deranged people? I especially loved this movie because it portrays all of the characters as imperfect and a little insane themselves, which in my opinion, is the reality of life. Everyone has something about them that makes them abnormal and off their bonkers. In the case of this movie, Pat (Bradley Copper) and his obsession with getting back together with his wife, Tiffany (Jennifer Lawrence) and her depressingly poor social skills, Pat Sr. (Robert DeNiro) and his obsession with Philadelphia Eagles, etc.
If I had to choose favorite animated movie, it would definitely be Brave. I love this movie because it tells a story about a princess who doesn't want to conform to the standards of what a princess is supposed to be. She constantly tries to explain to her queen mother that she isn't the average princess. I also love her triplet troublemaker brothers.
I've always loved the Pirates of the Caribbean series, but lately I've overly obsessed. I watched the first three (?) in one sitting. I cannot emphasize enough how much I love these movies, and At World's End is my favorite. I think that's because this one is the darkest out of the first three. That is truly troubling. I cannot wait for the fifth one to hit theaters next year. I think it's the film I'm most anticipating in 2017.
Yes, I realize that Keira Knightley and Jude Law are each in two of my favorite movies. But to be fair, they are arguably two actors that you just can't avoid (not that would want to, anyway). The first time, I watched this film, I was kind of weirded out by the way it's

Ink and Bone (The Great Library #1) by Rachel Caine

Synopsis:

















4-4.5 out of 5 stars
The phrase "don't judge a book by its cover" rings painfully true when it comes to this book. At first glance, the cover isn't the best. But the story is incredible and definitely worth the read, trust me. If you miss this one, you'll have missed…

Under the Never Sky (Under the Never Sky #1) by Veronica Rossi

Synopsis:
3 out of 5 stars
*My thoughts as expressed briefly by Elizabeth Swann
Right off the bat, I felt like this book was going to be an alright book, and that's exactly how it turned out to be for me. The concept of virtual reality was kind of interesting, the storyline was okay, and the writ…

Physical Books vs. Ebooks: The Eternal Debate

I've thought about this before, numerous times. But I decided to revisit the topic when I was reading my eBook copy of Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi. Choosing between the two was hardly ever difficult for me. Physical copies of books always won me over, it was a no-brainer. But lately …
