Just Another Fangirl

Hello, Internet! Ring the shame bell, go ahead, because I only finished three books this month. Shame. Now, you may be thinking, “Ariana, three books in a month is normal!” Not for me, it’s not. Le sigh, for I have been hit with a reading slump. Duh duh duuuuuuuuun! That is right, chicken pies, I have been in a reading slump for most of the month of August. I only finished two books, and I started three, but didn’t finish them. I’ll mention them in the wrap up anyway. Do you know what I’ve learned in the past three weeks? School is time consuming! And this is before my extra curricular activities. And you might have noticed that the title and thumbnail only say August Wrap Up, and not September TBR. That is simply because setting goals for me is hard. I’m am probably the biggest procrastinator you may ever have the pleasure of meeting in your life, so I am no longer going to set reading goals for fear of getting into another reading slump and letting myself and you d...

Hello, Internet! My birthday was earlier this month, and that means one thing: Barnes & Noble gift cards! And pineapple pizza from Imos, but that's another story. So I went to the mall last week and today so OF COURSE I had to go to B&N. I mean, it's me. The grand total of books I got was five, and I'm really happy with myself. Let's get to the haul! The first book I picked up was An Author's Odyssey by Chris Colfer. It is (sadly) the last installment of The Land of Stories series by Chris Colfer. Now, I don't know if it's my reading slump talking, but when I picked up the first TLOS book a few years back, I really liked it. As I'm reading the sixth book now, it seems more like it's for ten year olds. Which it is. The Land of Stories is somewhere in between middle-grade novel and children's books. I don't dislike it anymore, I still love it, it's (for lack of better words) less mature than I remember it. Nevertheless, I'...

Hello, internet! Honestly, I don't even think that I need to explain what I'm doing. If you read my first wrap up and TBR, you probably understand the gist of it. So without further ado, let's get started. The first book I read in July was The Loose Ends List by Carrie Firestone. When Maddie O'Neill's grandmother comes down with a terminal illness, Maddie has to navigate love and loss while on a 'death with dignity' cruise. I gave this book five stars. It's just the kind that sticks to you, and you can check out my review here . The next book I read was Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins. Well, I actually read the whole series. The sons and daughters of fallen angels lives depend on being bad influences, but when Anna Whitt discovers the life she was supposed to have, things get a little tricky. Born of an angel and a demon, she has a choice: halo or horns. I gave this book four stars. It was pretty good. The next book I read was The Geography of You an...
