Novel Review; Far Far Away

Far Far Away  by Tom McNeal My Rating:  4.5 of 5 stars Goodreads Summary: It says quite a lot about Jeremy Johnson Johnson that the strangest thing about him isn't even the fact his mother and father both had the same last name. Jeremy once admitted he's able to hear voices, and the townspeople of Never Better have treated him like an outsider since. After his mother left, his father became a recluse, and it's been up to Jeremy to support the family. But it hasn't been up to Jeremy alone. The truth is, Jeremy can hear voices.

Hello friendly interweb peoples! This morning, rather than waking up at my usual 7:30 am, I slept in until 9:30. Which was bliss<3. I decided to lay in bed and watch a few YouTube videos before coming downstairs to eat breakfast. Deciding to read Far Far Away by Tom McNeal for about an hour, I ended up getting distracted by social media (i.e. Tumblr, Instagram, Twitter, and Blogging). I also managed to organize my APSU email. Mom got home by 1:00 and we ate lunch together, chit-chatting. Afterwards, I started some laundry (I haven't done laundry for over a month, so basically, I had about 10 loads... Seriously). Continuing reading Far Far Away, that's pretty much how I spent the remainder of my evening as well as munching on some snacks and drinking coffee. It's been a pretty relaxed day all in all. :) Currently Listening To: New Americana by Halsey (Title of Post = Lyric)

Challenges: 1. White on the Cover 2. Follow up 3. A Gift 4. Read Three Books Books: 1. Far Far Away  by Tom McNeal This book is on the Battle of the Books list, which is why I'm sort of cheating using it for the White on the Cover. I'm trying to read as many books off that list this break as I can... hopefully all of them! :) 2. Life and Death by Stephenie Meyer Although I haven't read a Stephenie Meyer book this year, Twilight is the epitome of nostalgia for me when it comes to reading. It was the first big series I read in 5th-6th grade and it was a big part of my childhood, so to speak. I'm so excited to read Twilight reimagined! 3. The Kitchen Boy : A Novel of the Last Tsar by Robert Alexander If you follow my blog, you would have noticed I didn't get any books for Christmas other than a Pasta Cookbook from my mom. Which was great! However, in my family, we usually don't give books until New Years. That's our tradition. So while...
