Scribbles about Books: What's on my reading list?

So I thought this would be a fun way to let you guys know what I was currently reading and what I'll be reading next and whatnot.

So right now I'm reading Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn because I was soo excited about the Gone Girl movie... I couldn't not read another great novel by Gillian Flynn! I also really like mysteries because I feel like they improve my memory and I think I'm just smarter when I read them, so I'm going to try to read them more often. I haven't read all that much of this yet but so far its really good. It's about this reporter that has to return to her home town to do a report on the murders of some children and missing children. Its interesting because the world is very similar to the world of Gone Girl. It's like a southern, run-down type of town... it's interesting. I find this appealing, especially since it goes from a city to the run down small town, similar to Gone Girl... and I just think Gillian Flynn is very interesting and I like this a lot.

I also have her other book Dark Places downloaded on my Ipad. This is $4.99 on itunes and this book looked really good. I forget what exactly this is about, and since its on my ipad I can't just look at the back cover and tell you. The chapters look similar to the chapters of Gone Girl, so I like that already. I think its about a young girl who's mother is murdered and then she finds out something about it. I don't know, I thought it sounded really good when I read the back cover. I'll probably read this after I finish Sharp Objects.

I usually don't like reading my ipad on the train and I read a lot of things on the train... so I'll probably bring a bit of a lighter read on the train and read these two at the same time. I have the first Stephanie Plum book, One For The Money and I think I'll read that. I read the first chapter before, and then lost the book completely. It was really good and I like that its Jersey-based... although Stephanie seems more Jersey than me, I read it with an accent. I'm excited for this!

Also Orange Is The New Black! I've read a lot of it, but I haven't finished it yet! I've had it for like a year too! I love the show, this is the real life story that its based off of and its really quite inspirational and different from your everyday read! I really like it, it just takes a while for me to read for some reason.

I also kind of want to finish the Princess Diaries series and I just have one book left that I don't own yet! But I have a birthday coming up and Christmas is coming up, so maybe I'll get it or Santa will bring it to me! Lol! There's also a book that Princess Mia wrote that I should probably read too!

So that's it for now! I'm asking for a lot of books for halloween/Christmas, so I may have more... but again it'll mostly be hard covers I'll probably read some at home and some on the train.

Byeee!

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...

Weekly Wrap Up 7.30.17

Sunday 7.23.17  Sunday was a really good day… it was kind of a lazy day for me… but my dad pretty much finished most of the painting in my room… he ran out of paint before he could totally finish it up… so he’ll finish that up soon… my mom is going to the paint store tomorrow… so hopefully he can finish it up then.  He also made some really fantastic barbecue pork… it was going to be pulled pork… but the pulling process didn’t really work… I kind of prefer the texture of it sliced instead of pulled…. idk. I like pulled pork… but this sliced pork was really delicious and flavorful and good.  We went for Starbucks and Ice Cream too… which was fun. Starbucks sends a lot of bonus stars offers after 2… so even though we go in the morning- we have to go after 2 because then we’ll get bonus stars, which my dad uses in New York because it’s a little more expensive there.  And then the ice cream… nutella ice cream with crushed oreos and marshmallow…it was del...

Scribbles About Food: Gloria Jeans Pistachio Chiller (kinda like a frap)

So since I'm doing all of the Frappuccino reviews, I thought I would give a shout out to a different coffee chain that I like... maybe even more than Starbucks! But I hardly ever go to it because A) People get your orders wrong there a lot B) I don't really live near one! So Gloria Jeans has some amazing drinks called Chillers that are like Frappuccinos, but they have always had a ton of really good and really interesting flavors. One of my favorite Seasonal ones is the Pistachio Chiller. They had this around this time last year also and its a really good unique flavor. Basically it tastes like pistachio ice cream... but in a frozen coffee form. Its pretty cool! And Pistachio is a pretty underrated flavor in my opinion. I don't get it enough, but I always love Pistachio and Almond flavored desserts and this in particular is really flavorful and just a really good chiller. I don't think there is anything at starbucks that compares to it really, its really different...
