On My Reading List: Books/Magazines I'm going to try to finish very soon.

So I was sort of redoing my room and re-organizing my desk... and I just had a big pile of stuff that I wanted to keep out so that I could read it soon. I love reading and its been a while... so here's my current reading list.

Alright not really in with this stuff... but something I need to finish is Yes, Please by Amy Poehler. I started this... probably well over a year ago. Lol. It kind of breaks my heart to finish it because I feel like Amy's my friend and I've learned a lot about her and about life and about myself from this book and I don't want it to end... so I still have a few chapters left. I don't think this will be the next thing I'm going to finish... but I'll finish it in the near future because why not.

I'm going to start out with books. The first book I have on here is Amazing Amy Tattle Tail. This is based on Gone Girl's Amy... and I've read it before... but I want to watch the movie gone girl again soon and re-read this and read the next book I have on here... before or after that. Its a kids book really... but if your a grown up that knows Gone Girl... its a little creepy.

Then I have The Grownup also by the author of Gone Girl, Gillian Flynn. This is a short book, it was originally in an anthology book that George RR Martin put together about ghost stories. I think thats pretty cool. George RR Martin just asked Flynn to write a ghost story and I'm sure she delivered in a big way. The cover of this is pretty cool and creepy too... so I want to read this ASAP! I've wanted to read it for a long time... but I didn't know where the book was. But I found it today and I'm going to read it soon!

Next I have one I need to read. What Color is Your Parachute, its a job hunting book and its the best selling Job Hunting Book. I need a job... so yeah. This needs to be read. Lol.

Next I'm really really excited for Welcome To Nightvale. I love the podcast... I haven't listened to it in a while... but I think its awesome and I'm really happy that there is a book to go with it. I haven't started any of these yet... but I feel like if you like comedy, paranormal stuff and specifically the type of humor in Parks and Recreation, you'll like it. Listen to the podcast first then maybe read my review of the book and buy it. Lol.

Then I have Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari! I love Aziz and thought this would be fun to read in February for Valentines Day!

Then the last 3 are magazines. This is kind of random... but I'm subscribed to Better Homes and Gardens, Instyle and Entertainment Weekly because I ordered something online and it came with a free subscription for a certain period of time... you can opt out but I always forget to check. Anyway I like the magazines... so its okay with me.

I have one Better Homes and Gardens here, this has Jessica Alba on the cover. These I like because its about more than Homes and Gardens. It has style tips, celebrity interviews... you can see celebrities decor and its just pretty awesome. I like that a lot.

Then I have the Rolling Stone David Bowie Issue with him looking very handsome on the cover. David Bowie is my all time favorite singer and I really admire him and needed this magazine... so that is that.

And a random Entertainment Weekly. I like collecting magazines... but if the cover comes off or something I'll just throw them out. I'm big into pictures and lists instead of just reading  it... but I want to get more into reading it. This had American Crime Story on the cover... which I'm excited about! I think I posted my review on it yesterday... but if not it'll be up tomorrow cause I'm planning to write a review on it... but at this time that's the future and I'll already have this written... so yeah. Lol. But look for it or come back for it. Lol.

Byeee!

Scribbles about TV: Jane The Virgin Review!

This I think is a surprise hit, so of corse I needed to watch it for myself to see! It's been getting a lot of critical buzz because it has been reviewed as "one of the best pilots of the season" and I also have been hearing a few critics saying that they don't think it will last because the word "virgin" is in the title... which is stupid. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin and if a show is good, its good and people should watch it... plus this did bring pretty high ratings for The CW so the critics that said that can suck it! Lol. Overall I really liked this show. One thing thats been bothering me a lot about the new Fall shows is that the characters aren't interesting enough. Especially the female characters. I thought that this showed a lot of really strong female characters that were interesting. This had a pretty big cast with A LOT of stuff going on for a pilot and most of the characters were female. That is a powerful thing to see on TV...

Top 10 Dating Tips/ Suggestions

So I've been in a relationship for about 2 and a half years... but before that I was single... for a very long time. And I was on dating apps for about a year or so before that... so here's what I learned from those apps. If you want more specific relationship advice I have from being in a relationship... that one might be a little harder but I guess I could do a blog on that too? Idk... I'm not an expert but I think I have some good tips.  Find an App That Works For You  I feel like not all apps work for everyone. I started on Bumble- and I like the app. I love the idea of girls taking the first move- but... I HATE making the first move apparently. So I would just match with a bunch of guys... and never really knew what to talk about. Plus I like having A LOT of info in my bio and Bumble just doesn't give enough space for me. I only went out with 1 guy from Bumble I think and it was bad.  So after that I tried Coffee Meets Bagel... which is terrible. Maybe depending on...

Scribbles About TV: Jane The Virgin Finale Review (SPOILERS)

So.... Can we talk about all the twists because there were a lot! I didn't even see all of them coming! Alrighty we start out in typical Jane The Virgin Mode with Jane's choice between Raphael and Michael... I'd be okay with either but I think I'm team Michael. Jane has a weird moment with Raphael and thinks she's better off without him and just having him be the father of her child. She's also starting to have some feelings for Michael again. Then she almost has the baby on the bus and some woman helps her and gets the bus driver to take her to the hospital. Rogellio and Xo are in Vegas and they get drunk and can't remember what happens, but they make it just in time to see Jane deliver a baby boy. I knew it would be a boy! Lets pause on that a little and go to Michael and his ex partner/friend with benefits who comes back says she has a lead on Sin Rostro, gives him an address where the plastic surgeon is and by the time Michael gets there, he's de...
