Before I begin, I just wanted to say that I am currently sitting in my dining room with my cup of coffee while blogging this, so yes it is authentic! 1. Black: Name a series that's tough to get into but has hardcore fans. I actually would have to say Harry Potter , because to my dismay I have met SEVERAL people who said they either A) Never read the series and just watched the movies (which is absolute betrayl) B) Read the first book or two but couldn't get into them enough to finish, were impatient waiting, or already had seen the movies and "knew" the story  C) Though 7 books was just too many to read, especially since they mostly exceed 300 pages Regardless, I'm a HARDCORE Harry Potter lover but there's that.  2. Peppermint Mocha: Name a book that gets more popular during the winter or a festive time of year. Well the obvious ones are like A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens or How the Grinch Stole Christmas by Dr. Seuss but I a...

It was a fairly easy breezy day. I didn't even get out of bed until 11:30 and when I came downstairs my brother and dad had just gotten home with pizza. So I ate a few slices and watched the news with my Dad and then read a book until 1:30 when we all left to go to the library. I basically spent the rest of my day at the library finishing "The Real Life of Downton Abbey" and beginning "The Golem and The Jinni". The entire day it's been rainy and gloomy so it was a perfect day to stay cooped up in the library and read. My mom came to pick us up at 6:15 and then we just came home, ate dinner, and watched three episodes of "The Whispers". See? Not a very spectacular day but oh well.

Hello internet friends. I know. I haven't blogged in what feels like years. Don't worry, I reminded myself every single day since my last blog post to post another blog post. But I didn't. And you want to know why I didn't? Well, I came to this conclusion that it was unfair of me to ask myself to write a blog post if I didn't want to write a blog post. I blog because I love it, because I think it's fun, because it's my hobby. So why should I write a blog post if 1) I don't feel like writing a blog post and B) I don't have any content to blog about? *See what I did in that sentence? Haha look at me putting little jokes* Okay, but really I just haven't had any interesting thoughts or experiences or even structure in the past few days to sit in front of my tablet/laptop and write a worthy blog post. (Then again, is this worthy? Or do I just miss blogging? I guess you could comment below your opinion but be nice!) Anyway, this week was...
