A Week in the Life 2nd Edition


I know my last post was a Week in the Life post too, but don’t worry. We’ll be getting back to regular book reviews soon, I promise.

I wanted to write this post looking toward the week to come instead of looking back at the one I just finished because last week was a mess for me. I was sick in addition to having a lot going on at school and there were a lot of other, more personal things that I’m not going to get into because they’re not interesting to anyone but me.

I’ve already started completing my college applications but this week marks when I need to get even more serious about them because I’m applying Early Action to several colleges and those applications are due in just over a month. Specifically, I need to start asking teachers for recommendations and drafting all my essays. Are any of you applying this year or next year? Are any of you currently in university? I’d love to hear about your experiences in the comments.

Book of the Week: The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Adieh. I just started it yesterday but you can expect a review soon.
Soundtrack of the Week: Badlands by Halsey If you haven’t heard it yet, check it out.

If you have any recommendations or requests for me, let me know!

A Quick Note on Ads

I've recently allowed ads to be placed on my blog which I talked more about in the post before my most recent one. Bloggers can earn a small amount of money from ads on their blogs and that's ultimately my goal. But I think I only earn anything if someone actually clicks on the ad. So I was hoping that some of you might sometimes click on them and let the page load. That's all you have to do. You don't have to buy anything. Just click. It's also fine if you don't do this. I just wanted to let you guys know how this seems to work.

Spring Reads 2019

I'm coming up to the end of my semester which is a relief. The most exciting part is that I'll finally have time to read! I'm also planning on finally playing some of the video games that the Internet and my boyfriend have been telling me to play for forever.  I thought I would share with y'all the books I'm most looking forward to reading as soon as my exams are over.  Also, for the sake of transparency, the links in this post are affiliate links to Amazon. These don't change the price for you, but I do get a percentage of the cost of anything you buy through the link. It would be great if you used these links, but please feel free to buy these books however you want or get them at your local library.  I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver May 28, 2019 Buy from Amazon When Ben De Backer comes out to their parents as nonbinary, they're thrown out of their house and forced to move in with their estranged older sister, Hannah, and her husb...

It Started With Goodbye by Christina June

Publisher: Blink Release Date: May 9, 2017 Synopsis: Sixteen-year-old Tatum Elsea is bracing for the worst summer of her life. After being falsely accused of a crime, she's stuck under stepmother-imposed house arrest and her BFF's gone ghost. Tatum fills her newfound free time with community service by day and working at her covert graphic design business at night (which includes trading emails with a cute cello-playing client). When Tatum discovers she's not the only one in the house keeping secrets, she finds she has the chance to make amends with her family and friends. Equipped with a new perspective, and assisted by her feisty step-abuela/fairy-godmother, Tatum is ready to start fresh and maybe even get her happy ending along the way. A modern play on the Cinderella story arc, IT STARTED WITH GOODBYE shows us that sometimes going after what you want means breaking the rules. Right now, the ebook is $1.99 on Amazon and you can get it  here . Even if it weren't...
