Barnes and Noble Haul: January 13th 2019

Sorry! I didn't get to post yesterday- it was my niece's birthday party and I was just super busy... so I didn't get a chance to blog... I'll try posting another blog tonight to make up for it... but I did go to Barnes and Nobles and I thought you guys would like another little haul from there!

First off I looked at the Bargain Books in the front and my boyfriend discovered that they had a signed copy of Judy Blume's "In The Unlikely Event" for 6.98... and I thought "You know what- I'll get it!" For that price- it's definitely worth it! I didn't know that it was also a first edition! The book looked slightly beat up... but still! That is not a bad price. I wanted to read this when it first came out- I think it's based off of a true story that happened in New Jersey. Judy Blume is from NJ, I'm from NJ... so it's probably going to be a fun story to read for that.

And the bargain books were 2 for $10... so I looked around just to see if there was anything else worth getting and I found something called Survive The Night by Danielle Vega. This is a murder mystery about a woman who reluctantly goes to an all night rave in a subway tunnel just after getting out of rehab... and at the party she finds her friends dead body. So... that sounded suspenseful and interesting. Reminds me a little bit of something like "Hellfest" but this sounds actually good.

I also got a Where's Waldo Calendar for my mom... fun fact: Every year my mom gets a Where's Waldo Calendar... but we couldn't find one this year- so I got her one! It was half off!

Also Half off was the Badass Planner... I know- I really don't need another planner right now at all... but this one seemed fun and it had stories to kind of make me think a little more creatively. I just liked it. Plus it is a lot more goal oriented than the other calendars I have... other than my Bullet Journal. I just think its cool.

So that is everything! I hope you guys like this little book haul! I'll probably have some more reviews soon!

Bye!

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...

Blogmas Day 12: The 12 Days of Christmas Gift Guide

So I thought it would be fun to do a gift guide that every gift corresponds with the price. So like for the first day of Christmas $1 gift that would be good and then up from there. These would be good stocking stutterers and things I just think are unique. $1- Solar Powered Dancers!  My mom loves getting the little dancing solar powered people. We get most of ours from Dollar tree... other dollar stores have them too, they're super cute and fun for $1. Its good to put near any plants that you have that way you know they're getting sunlight. It's a good gift. $2- Mini Coloring Book!  At 5 Below they had some mini travel sized coloring books for $2. I thought these were pretty cool. I got the Botanical one I believe. Really cute and fun! I would recommend! $3-   Ceramic Truck w/ Christmas Tree  I saw this at the Target Dollar Spot and I thought it was cute and would probably make a great gift. If you know someone who has a truck or likes the sort of "rustic C...

Scribbles about Books: Horns by Joe Hill

I picked this book up not too long ago because after seeing the trailer for the movie and seeing it was based on a book I thought "Hey, that looks good. I should read the book." Then my friend gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card for my birthday and I thought "Hey I wanted to read Horns, I should grab that." And I did, and I had to read it around halloween of corse! So this is my kind of horror story first of all. I love that the universe it takes place in is very realistic and very small-town. If you've noticed in some of my other book reviews... I like mysteries that take place in small towns. And its very believable because the world and the characters are all so real. I think its a good book just for that. The book starts out with this guy Ignatious, or Ig a year after his girlfriend Merrin is murdered. He grows horns from out of his head... for no real reason. And then a few chapters in we find out who really did it and then we find out why and that thi...
