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!

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
