It's My Birthday! - Update


Hello, everyone! I'm back, and no, I do not have any reviews today. However, I do have an announcement. Hint: look at the title. That's right! It's my birthday! That means I get to spend sometime with my family, get some cool merch to review, and (hopefully) sleep more than the five hours I've been getting. With all of that said, I've had trouble finding some time to get any reading done or writing any reviews. I've been very neglectful, but now I'm getting some work done!

I'm hoping that I'll be able to get some more work done with my new laptop! If you followed some of my other updates, you'll know that I've had some problems with my old laptop. Buttons are missing. It heats up to the point where it shuts itself down. One of the hinges is off. There were a lot of problems, and I'm really happy that I was given a new one before finals rolled around. Thanks, Dad!

My brother, who knows me so well, found a perfect gift for me. He got me the Target Special Edition Mockingjay Part 1 movie! I'm so excited, and from what he's told me, he had a bit of trouble finding it. Turns out they sold out quickly, but he was able to get me a copy when they restocked. I can't wait to see all of the special features. 



My mother decided to get me a couple of dresses from the Kohl's Cinderella Collection. They are a beautiful blue, and they make me feel so girlie and frilly. They feel a little tight, but that just motivates me to bring back How to Be a Heroine. I really need to update that. Back to the point! I can't wait to have an occasion to wear them. A ball perhaps? Hmmmm...



I got a purse and some cash from my sister. I know some people are a little miffed when they get cash, but this means that I can get more stuff to read and review! I also have to give her a pass for the awesome Christmas present that I recently got in the mail (long story-don't ask). It's an Catching Fire inspired half sweater. I posted a pic on twitter, which you should definitely check out.

I've just finished This Shattered World. So, expect that review to be up soon. I'll also be starting Booksplosion's Book of the Month, which is We Should Hang Out Sometime by Josh Sundquist. Expect lots of twitter posts of the funny infographics that fill this book. Hopefully, I will be able to continue some of the series that I've neglected, including some merchandise reviews and How to Be a Heroine.

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
