To Be Read - May 2015: List!

Hello, everyone! I'm back, and I'm here to tell you what I will (hopefully) read within this month. I'm hoping to get further along in a few series that I've started as well as keep up with this month's Booksplosion book. So let's get onto that list!


I guess I'll start with the book I'm reading right now, which is The Clockwork Scarab: A Stoker & Holmes Novel by Colleen Gleason. This story is a steampunk take on murder mysteries with the niece of Sherlock Holmes and the sister of Bram Stoker. You can see the appeal for me if you've been a fan of this blog for very long.



Next up is the Booksplotion book of the month An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. According to goodreads, this is a high fantasy novel about a slave who, in order to rescue her brother, starts spying in a military academy. Can't wait to read it.



I also want to read Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas. As many of you know, I read Throne of Glass last month, but I'm trying to spread out the series in order to get me through to the publication of Queen of Shadows, which will be out September 1st. So, I'm trying to limit myself to one Throne of Glass book a month. Whether or not that will happen is another story.



Another book I've been meaning to read is Doon by Carey Corp. A girl sees a kilted boy that no one else sees, and it rightfully freaks her out. She goes on vacation in Scotland, and guess what. Things get even crazier. Really, this book had me at "kilt."



Lastly, I'm hoping to get to Splintered by A. G. Howard. It's a take on Alice in Wonderland, and that's all it took for me to want to read it. And the cover. The cover is pretty fabulous and just a tad bit creepy. Perfect.

As you may notice, there are not any books for the School Edition of the blog's Book Reviews. That's because I have finished my last day of class and this week is both my finals week, and this Friday I'll be graduating. So, it may be a little while before Book Review: School Edition returns, but I may have an idea for it.

Well, that's all for now. Comment down below on some of books you're hoping to read this month. Subscribe to the blog by adding your email to the Subscribe Box down below or off to the right.

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
