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!

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...
