Sickness, Disney World, Universal, and I'm Back!

Hello, everyone! I'm back, and I'm here to explain my absence. I was hoping that I would have gotten more things done by the way of the blog, but a lot of things have been happening around here that have stopped me from doing so. Some things were awesome. Some were not so awesome. But I'm here to explain myself as well as tell y'all what to be on the lookout for in the next couple of weeks.

Firstly, if you follow me on twitter, you know that I went on vacation to Florida at the beginning of the year. During this time, I was able to get some reading done. I've read through the existing Lunar Chronicles series, but I haven't been able to write reviews for them because I left my keyboard at my house. I felt like an idiot, but I did manage to take some notes for the reviews that will be coming up in a few days.

Next, as I said before, I was vacationing in Florida where I got to go to Disney World and Universal Studios. You can guess where I spent most of my time. I'll give you a hint: it's filled with magic! Yes, I spent my days at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Orlando. I bought a few things, rode a few rides, and I'll be giving my full review of the park in a few days. So keep an eye out for that!

Also, I would like to mention that another reason for my absence is that Disney World and Universal Studios are a breeding ground of bacteria and illness, and I happened to catch a cold while on vacation. It's been a bugger trying to get rid of, but I'm starting to feel like my old self. Thus, I am able to write posts again.

The last thing I would like to mention is that I've started up school again. It's going to make me much busier, so posting things may become even more sporadic in the upcoming months. However, on the bright side, Book Review: School Edition will be coming back as well. There are many novels on my reading list for this semester. The two classes that will probably be featured in this semester is my American Literature after 1945 class and my Brits Abroad class. Lots of cool things coming up for those two classes, so look forward to those!

There are a lot more things that I hope to hit on, like some of the new merchandise that I bought on vacation and Amazon, but I guess y'all will have to wait and see what comes ahead. I hope to do some more pleasure reading this year, as well as figure out what I'm planning to do with my life. But thank you for your patience and I hope y'all continue to visit the blog in the upcoming year.

How to be a Heroine - Bella Swan

Image
Hello, everyone! I'm back, and I'm here to do another edition of How to be a Heroine! While I will still be continuing the Katniss edition featuring her fabulous archery skills, I figure I would star another heroine that hasn't got a lot of love. In case you haven't guessed, I'm talking about Bella Swan from the Twilight Series. I've always appreciated the way that she takes care of people, even if it doesn't her role. She's the child of Renee and Charlie, but she finds a way to take care of them, including making a great deal of their meals. So today, I'm going to try my hand in the culinary arts and share the results here! Let's get started! About a week ago, I found a really cool website that makes dishes inspired by books! It's called Allison's Wonderland Recipes (you can find it here ), and I'm really excited to try a lot of the different dishes that are featured on the site. I decided that the recipe that I would try first i

Stories I Ate This Month: May and June 2018

Image
Hello, my lovelies! As you've probably noticed, today's post is going to consist of the stories that I have consumed in the last two months as opposed to just last month. This is mostly because May was a world-wind for me, and I didn't really consume a lot of content. I was mostly running around, trying to get my life in order (not that it's in a particular order at the moment), and other miscellaneous duties that took up most of my time. So today, I'm going to play catch-up and tell you my thoughts on the stories that I've consumed in May and June. Let's get to the reviews! I've read two books in the past couple of months, Death on the Nile  and The A.B.C. Murders . Both are by Agatha Christie and feature Detective Hercule Poirot. Agatha Christie has a way of making a puzzling novel that keeps your attention without making things overly graphic or by adding unnecessary action scenes for the sake of drama. She's one of my favorite mystery auth

Hunger Games Merchandise: Replica Mockingjay Pin

Image
Hello, everyone! So today I'm reviewing the Hunger Games Mockingjay Pin. I've had this pin for a while, but I thought I would review it because of the Catching Fire movie that's coming to theaters soon. I'll be reviewing this pin for its overall quality and its resemblance to the pin used in both the Hunger Games and the Hunger Games: Catching Fire. So let's get started! The replica pin has the same style as the one in the movie. Both pins depict a simple bird with slightly spread wings catching an arrow as it slices through the air with it's overly large beak. They both have the same gold-ish hue, and from what I can tell, they are about the same size. Now let's talk about the differences! The first difference is that the movie pin is more three dimensional than the replica version. The replica pin is all the same height, while the movie pin is raised in some areas. You can tell from the pictures that the head of the bird is more rounded, the wings co
