Target Tuesday: Target Book Wish List

So I was thinking of things to write about and I was like "I like Target Tuesday... and I have a lot of books on my loves list at the moment." Let's check out what's on there! Some of these are just books that I liked the cover of and I decided to put it in my loves list and I looked at the description after... and some are authors I know... so let's just start it!

Not The Girl You Marry by Andie J Christopher 

Okay... this looked like a cute book. And I'm just seeing now there's a dog on the cover too! So yeah... there's a dog in the book- I kind of want it. The book is also a reversed How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days and I love that movie... so I totally want to read this book to see how that is. It sounds really funny. Plus its more modern than the movie so that would be good too. OHHH This might not have been the liked based on the cover... it might be the next book from the same author and then I saw this was How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days... so I wanted to read it. 

Not That Kind of Guy by Andie J. Christopher 


So I believe I read that this was Christopher's book after the one I just mentioned- It's another rom com that looked cute... the plot and from what I've seen of the reviews don't sound as appealing to me. It's an office romance that ends up with the 2 main characters getting married in vegas and falling for each other... If I end up reading the first book and liking it maybe I'll get this one after... but I'm not as sure about this one.

Trejo's Tacos by Danny Trejo 



I'm a fan of Danny Trejo and a fan of tacos... so this is something I'd like to try! PS-he's been doing some good things right now like giving out food... so that's cool.

The Lucky Ones by Liz Lawson



This sounds like a darker book than I really know if I want to read. It's about a school shooting... I might have liked the cover or maybe it was recommended... but it does sound good. It might be something hard to read and sad, so I'm not sure I'll end up getting this one.

The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park 

So this is a YA Novel that involves an Escape Room? I think I wasn't that into it being a YA Novel, but I thought the Escape Room aspect sounded really good and it did sound like it's a cute and funny book. I might check this one out!

Little Secrets by Jennifer Hillier 

This one I either heard recommended or I liked the cover or something. This sounds like a really good mystery- this woman has the perfect life, but then her son gets murdered and she finds out her husband is having an affair... and it sounds like this one is really good. I'm probably going to get this one sooner than others on the list.

Hex by Rebecca Dinerstein Knight 
So this book is about studying poisonous plants... but also a lot of other things happen between these two scientists... it sounds like a complicated and interesting book... I'm not even sure I got everything from the description of it. 

Betsey A Memoir by Betsey Johnson 
Betsey Johnson is one of my favorite designers and I'd like to read more about her life and her inspirations. She's a cool lady. 

You Deserve Each Other By Sarah Hoagle 



This one actually sounded really funny to me. So the pair is engaged- but they both want to break off the engagement... but really they want the other person to break off the engagement so that they don't have to pay for all the non refundable deposits. So they keep pranking each other and trying to get the other one to break off the engagement- but they end up having fun and they see more of each other. 

The description made me laugh. 

The Southern Book Club's Guide To Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix 

Grady Hendrix is a really funny horror writer and I read his book Horrorstor last summer... and I have his 2 other books and they look good as well. I might try reading this in the summer or maybe reading it around Halloween or something. 

The Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimmenez 


This is about a dog! Kind of! The girl finds a dog that belongs to the guy- who is a musician and the two get flirty but the girl doesn't want to get her heart broken again and she doesn't know if he'll stick around. It sounds pretty cute and there's a dog in it. 

The Goldberg's Cookbook by Beverly Goldberg 
This is a Cookbook for the show The Goldbergs! I like the show and I'm sure the recipes are good. The only thing is... I have a feeling these might be things I already have recipes for... so that's kind of how I'm feeling... but I still kind of want it. 

Nothing General About it by Maurice Bernard 



Maurice Bernard is a very famous soap opera actor known for playing Sonny on General Hospital... and I've watched him on the show for as long as I can remember. He is also open about having Bipolar disorder and the subtitle of this book is "How Love (and Lithium) saved me on and off General Hospital." This might be a hard book to read- but I am a fan of Maurice and I think his openness about his bipolar disorder is very brave. 

Something She's Not Telling Us by Darcey Bell

This I'm probably going to get because Darcey Bell also wrote A Simple Favor and I really liked that movie and I have the book. 

The First Time By Colton Underwood 



I've only watched 2 favorite seasons of The Bachelor... but Colton is definitely my favorite compared to Pete... so I kind of want to read his book. I'm not sure it'll be that good or that interesting... but idk I kind of want to know what being The Bachelor is like. 

All Your Twisted Secrets by Diana Urban 


This is kind of like a dark Breakfast Club. Someone locks up a bunch of different students together in a room with a bomb and a syringe of poison and a note that says to pick one person to die or all of them will die. This sounds really good and I think I want to order this. I have a similar YA book on my book list that I might read first but... I might just order this one now. It sounds like something I'd like. 


In Five Years by Rebecca Serle 

This sounds similar to the book I'm reading now. The Main Character is engaged and just accepted a new job and her life is going according to plan... but then she goes to sleep and wakes up with a different ring, different job and a different man... and it's 5 years in the future and her life is totally different. 

This has been on my list the longest and... I think it sounds really good. 

So that is everything! Hope you guys like this... I know it's a lot! But I like books! 

Bye!

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...

Throwback Thursday: Crazy Ex Girlfriend Season 1

One of my favorite shows is the very underrated Crazy Ex Girlfriend... and when I say underrated I mean the ratings are bad... I'm pretty sure there is a lot of critical hype that is very real and worthy of that sort of hype... I honestly didn't watch it live at all this year until the finale... it was all in my DVR... I had lost a little bit of interest to be honest after the first episode... but I bingewatched it all in one day pretty much and it was great... but that's season 2... let's go back to Season 1. If you're only familiar with Season 2... Season 1 isn't quite as dark. It's definitely more silly than Season 2. It isn't like the darkness and the drama isn't there, it just isn't quite as dark. I have a feeling the show is getting progressively darker, and the Season 2 finale was definitely the darkest so far. The show is meant to be a different spin on a Rom-Com. The girl moves across the country for a guy that has a girlfriend alrea...
