Target Tuesday: Target Book Haul

I've gotten a lot of books from Target recently- so I thought I would share them. Also I'm thinking of doing a "Target Tuesday" segment here... this will probably be my last one for a while as I'm not really going to go to Target anytime soon... but I could maybe order online or something. I thought I'd let you guys know!

They've had a few Buy 2 get 1 free deals recently and that's how I got most of these books. I thought it was a pretty good deal and I knew these would be something I'd use... and now I'll probably actually have time to read everything lol.

I'll start with what I ordered online because that includes what I'm currently reading! The Majesties by Tiffany Tsao. I will probably have a review on this soon- I think I'll finish it today- but it's about 2 sisters in a wealthy family that had a lot of secrets. The story is told from the point of view of one of the sisters who is in a coma after the other sister poisoined their whole entire family. It's very interesting and it's definitely keeping me guessing.

I also ordered Jessica Simpson's Autobiography called Open Book. I've always kind of liked Jessica Simpson- I'm not a huge fan or anything... but she does have a really really interesting life. She has a lot of famous connections with celebrities that you wouldn't really think of... This is also a huge book so my idea was to read it at home and bring a smaller book to work... but I don't have work for the time being and I have a lot of time to read big books... so I might start it soon because of that anyway.

And then I bought Josie Silver's newest book The Two Lives of Lydia Bird. I preordered it- so it was cool that the preorder still counted with the buy 2 get one free. Josie Silver also wrote a book called One Day in December which I loved reading last year... and I'm just excited to start this one too! I think this will be the next one I read. It's a big book but I think it'll be interesting enough to be a quick read. This folllows Lydia Bird who loses the love of her life- but somehow finds a way to live her life as if she had never lost him while simultaneously living her normal life without him. It sounds sad and cute and interesting. I'm sure the characters will be amazing and I'm sure I'll cry more than I did for One Day in December.

Now for the ones I got in store. Before the Buy 2 get one free sale I got the book To All The Boys I've Loved Before. I want to watch this on Netflix- so I want to read the book first. I'll probably order the sequel once I finish reading this if I read it before things are more normal.

I also got 2 books from the Reese Witherspoon book club because I like reading those books. The first one is Daisy Jones and The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid which I had been wanting to pick up for a while and just finally decided to do it with this sale. This is about a band I believe... I forget exactly but I'm sure I'll have a review on this and let you guys know. I also grabbed a mystery book called The Other Woman by Sandie Jones. I forget what exactly that is about too but I think it's a mystery and I think it's about... The Other Woman. Shocking right? Lol.

And the ast book was Love, Unscripted by Owen Nicholls. This is another romance book from the point of view of a man that loves pop culture. It sounded interesting- I saw it at Barnes and Noble and wanted to get it there... but then didn't... but I couldn't pass it up when I saw it again at Target. It felt like a sign at that point!

That is it! I have also bought a lot of books from Barnes and Noble the past few months so I think I'll post that soon also but that is everything!

Bye!

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...

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...

Man Crush Monday: Jimmy Fallon

Jimmy Fallon is one of my favorite talk show hosts... and I pretty much like all the late night talk show hosts... so that is saying a lot. (I haven't actually watched James Cordin yet, but I have a huge crush on him from Into The Woods, so yeah. I also have a crush on Seth Meyer though... And all the comedy central guys... ugh. Lol. and obviously Jimmy Fallon. Lol.) So yeah... this is saying a lot that he is one of my favorites. 1) He genuinely acts like he has the most fun job in the world-  Jimmy Fallon is always really excited about the show. He pretty much does have the most fun job ever, and he actually appreciates it. He was on SNL, and when he left SNL for late night he was excited and proud of his job, and now on The Tonight Show he's very happy. 2) His Ice Cream Flavors are good- This one is completely random... but I feel like having Ben and Jerry's make an ice cream flavor after you is a really big honor and a great responsibility. You can tell a lot about a...
