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!

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

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...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
