Life Update

I've had a few things going on the past month, but they're exciting so I wanted to update you on all of them.

 Exciting Life News:
1. I finished my freshman year of college at UAB. It had its ups and downs and difficult parts, but it was a good year over all with new friends and new experiences. I'm really looking forward to sophomore year. 

 2. I started a new job! I work in a library now which is perfect for me. I work at a really nice library in the Birmingham area and I love it. I really like all of my coworkers and the environment there. I have to stop myself from sitting down and reading all of the books I'm shelving. I did check out a few for myself last week. 

 3. I moved into my first apartment! I'm living with two of my best friends that I've known since 9th grade and so far I'm loving it. I have all of my stuff moved in, but I still have some decorating to do, which is really exciting. 

 All of this has also kept me pretty busy, which has slowed me down. But now that it's summer I have so much more time to read and I plan on having a lot of reviews coming soon. Let me know what other posts you'd like to see this summer.

This is going to be a round up of my favorite books, shows, and just general things of the year. I'm also going to include some of my hopes and goals for 2018.  Favorite Books of the Year The Star-Touched Queen  by Roshani Chokshi          This book was inspired by Hindu stories and tells the story of Maya who has been cursed by a bad horoscope her whole life. When she's 17, her father finally finds someone who is willing to marry her and she is whisked away to a kingdom like no other she has ever seen before.            The immediate description I think for this book is that it is absolutely beautifully written. The prose is gorgeously lyrical and richly written. Reading this book is a sensory experience like no other. I'm not someone who generally visualizes things as I was reading because that's not the way I think, but the details in this book were so beautiful and rich that I couldn't help but appreciate...

What I'm Reading Right Now

I recently finished Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld and have now started reading The Summer I Wasn't Me by Jessica Verdi. I also went to the library and bookstore and picked up some books. image from goodreads Unmade by Sarah Rees Brennan From Amazon: Kami is linked to two boys. One through a strong magical bond, and the other through unforgettable love. With Jared missing for months and presumed dead, Kami must rely on her link with Ash for the strength to face the evil spreading through her town. Working with her friends, Kami uncovers a secret that might be the key to saving the town. But with knowledge comes responsibility—and a painful choice. A choice that will risk not only Kami’s life, but also the lives of those she loves most. Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins From Amazon:  Hopeless romantic Isla has had a crush on introspective cartoonist Josh since their first year at the School of America in Paris. And after a chance encounter in Manhattan ...

Senior Year

I start my senior year of high school on Monday. Despite the fact that I'm going to have more going on than ever this year and I already have a ton of deadlines looming, I'm not scared. I'm honestly more excited than anything else. My junior year was really hard for me academically and personally and had a huge impact on me. This summer has been exactly what I needed and lately I've been feeling like I'm finally myself again. I'm excited for school for the first time in a while and I feel like I've rediscovered what it was about myself that made me a straight-A student my first two years of high school and hopefully I'll be able to get those same grades again during my senior year even in my AP Calculus class. School makes me more motivated so I'm looking forward to getting back to studying and hopefully being able to put more energy into this blog.
