January Favorites

My first favorite of the month isn't a product, but rather something I've been doing. For just a couple weeks, I've been learning to code using Khan Academy. Right now I'm learning Java Script and I'm really enjoying it. The way Khan Academy teaches it is kind of childish but it's really easy to understand.

I'd been playing around with the idea of learning to code for a while because my school offers a Computer Science Principles class that I wanted to take. (I ended up taking AP Calculus because of college applications, but I've ended up really liking Calculus.) My boyfriend does programming and while he's not the reason I started doing it, it's nice to be able to better understand something he loves so much. 

Favorite Books
Passenger by Alexandra Bracken (I've already posted a review of it on the blog)
Any Other Girl by Rebecca Phillips
The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
The Naturals Series by Jennifer Lynn Barnes 

Music
Acoustic Covers (especially Megan Davies)
Alessia Cara
Blue Neighborhood by Troye Sivan

I also apparently really love Mortal Kombat, which I did not expect, but it's great playing it with my boyfriend and his little brothers.

January was all in all a pretty packed and strange month, but I'm really looking forward to the rest of the year.

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.
