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...

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...

It List: May 2017

Can't believe it's the last day of May... this was a great time for TV... so let's get right into it! 1) Master of None- The second season of this show was really really great! I liked the first season... but this season was just wayyy better to me for some reason... I loved that they had episodes about Italy and about New York... I think they did a really great job and I was so impressed with it... I'll have to watch the first season over again and do a Throwback Thursday on that sometime soon... but until then... season 2 was great! 2) Girl Boss- I finally got around to watching Girl Boss this month too... and I loved that show! At first I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not... then I just couldn't stop watching it and I finished it in 2 days... which I guess is when I finished all the Netflix shows I'm talking about... but still. Girlboss was definitely really good... and I feel like I could watch this one over and over again too. 3) Unbrea...
