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 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...
