Book Haul! Disney Villains, Books for my Niece, and Autobiographies

So I've bought kind of a lot of books lately... so let's just do a book haul!

I'll start with the ones for my niece. My niece isn't born yet... but my sister is having a Winnie The Pooh Themed Shower... so I went to Barnes and Noble to get a really nice copy of The Complete Tales of Winnie The Pooh. It has a beautiful illustration on it... it just looks like something really nice to gift to a new mom... Very pretty. The pages are gold leaf... you can't see the inside, but its pretty.

And while I was there I also saw a nice, big copy of The First Five Novels of The Wizard of Oz... and I thought that would be nice too. It was bargain priced... and it just seemed like a nice thing to give to my sister. It has illustrations in it... not colorful illustrations... but I know my sister likes The Wizard of Oz and she might like this too.

Also at Barnes and Noble I saw a book table that said "Disney Villains" and they had a bunch of books about the Disney Villains... they all looked good and something different. I picked up the one with Ursula on the cover... because I think there could be a lot of good backstory there. It's called Poor Unfortunate Souls and it is by Serena Valentino. Then I read it was the third book of the trilogy when I got home... so I went on Target's site to order the first book, which is "Fairest of All" about the Evil Queen from Snow White.

A few weeks ago I got some books from Target also. One I've been wanting since it came out... The Girl With The Lower Back Tattoo by Amy Schumer. I think this is going to be a really funny one. I don't think its so much an autobiography like Amy Poehler or Tina Fey's books... I think it's kind of more like Mindy Kaling's "Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me" where its kind of essays about her life or whatever... I'll let you know! Lol.

And Anna Kenderick's Scrappy Little Nobody. I like Anna Kenderick... On Stephen Colbert he mentioned that in the book she says that she imagines every talk show host that interviews her having sex... and that's kind of funny. I'm excited to read it! I love Anna Kenderick, she looks so pretty on the cover!

That is everything for right now! I hope you all like it! I'll let you know how these things are!

Byeee!

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

Disney Store Closing Haul

So if you read my post from yesterday- you know that I love The Disney Store, but it is unfortunately closing. I did pick up some things from the store that I thought I'd share with you guys! I did get a couple of t shirts. One is a Star Wars shirt, which is technically a men's shirt but I thought it looked really cool and I don't like that Disney doesn't carry the same things for men and for women. For the most part they look unisex to me and a lot of their men's stuff has characters I like better. Like the star wars shirt for women was grey with pink lettering and had no pictures, but the mens shirt had a really cool metallic silver logo on black clothing with pictures of all the new characters and Luke inside of the letters... much cooler! So I got that! The other shirt I got is really funny and it has Sleeping Beauty on it and it says "I Woke Up Like This." Which I really liked! Super cute and funny and my niece likes it when I wear shirts with c

Scribbles About Life: 3.10.16

Soooo... I don't really want to post about my day... but I don't really want to post anything else either. I started writing something about female characters in movies and TV... but I just didn't like what I was writing and... idk... I was a blog writing machine this week and now I feel defeated. I wrote a ton on Monday and Tuesday and now I just don't feel like doing a post today... but I want to write still... So I'll talk about things that I guess are on my mind lately... Idk. So I got this Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipcolor... and for some reason... I'm addicted to the way that it smells. Idk why, it smells like cherry medicine... but I also sort of like it. Its more cherry than medicine... and I can't smell it on my lips... but Idk. I keep smelling it in the tube. I got some cute stuff from American Eagle yesterday too! I got a dress and a romper... I do not own any Rompers... except this one... but it looked good on me and it didn't make me look f
