hey babes<3 I managed to actually stay in bed this morning until 8 am!! :) Woo! For breakfast, I had a bagel and a pear with some tea<3 Mom is getting sick so I told her to drink some white tea, since that helps the common cold. At 9:15, I woke up my brother since he had a doctor's appointment onpost. We all left at 10:30, his appointment at 11:00. Afterwards, we had some errands to run at the Commissary and then the PX, so we decided to grab some lunch. Coming home at 2:30ish, I spent my afternoon reading Red Queen  by Victoria Ayevard. Although I enjoyed the book and the characters were entertaining, I felt that it was extremely overhyped and very similar to other YA dystopian/magical books I've read before. Hopefully the next book will be better.(: I also managed to read In the Shadow of Blackbirds  by Cat Winter which I rated a 5/5 stars. It was so haunting and touching that I cried several times throughout the book. I  absolutely loved it!

Hey guys! So today I woke up around 8:30 to eat breakfast and get ready to leave. I went to the Public Library around 10:30 and managed to check out a few books; Moby Dick by Herman Melville  City of Fallen Angels by Cassandra Clare City of Lost Souls  by Cassandra Clare The Twisted Tragedy of Miss Natalie Stewart  by Leanna Renee Hieber Red Queen  by Victoria Ayevard Wicked Girls by Stephanie Hemphill Then from 1:00-6:00 I job shadowed at the different departments in the library and it was such an amazing experience! Next, I decided to volunteer with the teen program, so I mainly shelved because I absolutely love it! Afterwards, we went to an Austin Peay orchestra concert, which was sooo good! They played Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Bizet. Piper and her dad was there and Austin was playing in it so it was a good evening. (:
