Book Haul! Barnes and Noble- LOTS OF LIN MANUEL MIRANDA!

So I went to Barnes and Noble today and I got some stuff... probably too much stuff but... hey! That's life right?


Anyway, first I saw a cover that looked interesting for the book The Down Days by Ilize Hugo. This sounded REALLY SCARY and it's an apocalyptic world. There was an illness that made everyone have hallucination and they had a laughing epidemic... and it just sounds like a crazy, complicated and scary book that I really want to read. And I have a week off next week so I want to see if I can maybe read some things... so this is exciting. 

Next up I saw an endcap with Hamilton and Lin Manuel Miranda related books so I picked up the Music and Lyric book for In The Heights Music and Lyrics book... I've seen In The Heights with Lin Manuel Miranda in it and I do have the lyric book for Hamilton- so I wanted to get this too when I saw it... so I did! 

And I got the Lin Manuel Miranda G'morning Gnight Little Pep Talks For You and Me which is a collection of Lin's tweets illustrated by Johnny Sun... I don't like inspirational quotes... but these are the type of inspirational quotes and messages I do like so... yeah I'm excited to read it when I wake up and/ or before bed! 

And then in the line I saw one of those 642 Little things to write about books... and I have one of those but... I thought another one would be useful. I like the little size of this so... I finally bought it. I know I probably shouldn't have but... I've been wanting this for a while so I got it. 

Anyway that is everything! I hope you guys like it! 

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...

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...
