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!

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...

Rereading My Favorite Thing I Wrote In College

Hey guys! I'd say "today's post is a little different" but they're all kind of different to begin with... so this might end up being the same- or at least something that can fit into this blog in a nice way. So I don't want to post the actual thing that I wrote... but in my college Creative Writing Class that I took at 21 we needed to write a fantastical realism short story. And I wrote something that I always liked. The lead character was a smart and sassy woman... the fantastical elements were exciting and unique... and the story as a whole had a cute ending and a good message... and I really liked the way that I took what happened in my real life and changed it into this amazing and fantastical thing. Re-reading it... it was still pretty good. I actually liked the ending a little bit better because it had a nice message about believing in yourself that I kind of just snuck in there without much thought... and there was a cute little love story. I liked ...

Throwback Thursday: The Incredibles

This is one of the more underrated movies in the Pixar Universe... thatI think is actually getting more popular now than it was back when it was released... so that's good. I think it really stands the test of time... but it still isn't one of my favorites. This movie I think is pretty cool because it was the first time Pixar really used humans. When I was little I thought "Toys, Bugs, Monsters, Fish... the next movie will be about dogs!" And I was surprised it was this! I didn't know Pixar could do that! But I guess technically its about heroes and not humans... but then Pixar began to show more humans in their world and The Pixar Theory was started... and yeah. I just kind of want to state my opinion on the Pixar Theory here too cause why not: I don't believe that Pixar set out to create this elaborate world with all the movies connected... but I do still believe it exists in some way shape of form. It all adds up and checks out... so for me... somehow t...
