Bookish Things I'm Thankful For - List!



Hello, everyone! I’m back, and I’m here to give a list of all of the bookish things that I am thankful for. With Thanksgiving approaching, it has put me in a festive and thankful move, and what better way to show it than by making a list of bookish things in which to be thankful. Let’s get started!

 
First, I’m eternally grateful for my never-ending TBR pile. It’s consistently being refilled with new and imaginative works of fiction that take me to worlds I couldn’t dream of. And while there is a slim possibility of me ever finishing my TBR pile, there is, however, a chance of me finding my next favorite book.

I’m very grateful for book-to-movie adaptations. Whether you love them or hate them, they provide us an opportunity to see the worlds we love on the big screen. Sometimes they get it right, and sometimes they break our hearts. But, it starts a discussion about our version and theirs, and it makes me happy to be a part of the conversation.

I’m thankful for Amazon Prime, a service where I can get any book I want sent to my kindle or a hard copy to my apartment in two days with free shipping. What I’m not grateful for is the impact this service has done to my wallet; however, my bookshelf will be eternally indebted.

I’m thankful for my book club and my graduate classes, which has expanded my literary horizons. I have read books this year that I would personally never pick for myself, but I found myself surprised and often giddy over some of the titles I’ve read. In fact, one of my favorite books this year has been Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo, and I only picked it up for Booksplosion. So again, I’m very grateful for Booksplosion and my classes for getting me out of my box.

I’m also grateful for my recently updated GoodReads account. Yes, I know that is a very strange thing to be thankful for, but it’s such a great tool for readers who want to stay update. It tells me when my favorite books come out, and which books I’ve already read and rated. It also gives me the chance to see what everyone else is reading, and if everyone I’m following is raving about a book, I definitely want to check it out for myself.

Lastly, I’m thankful for this blog. It gives me a chance to read, watch, create, and review. It gives me a platform to do what I love and to share what I love with the rest of the world. Having all of you here to read what I think makes me feel special. Having all of you lovelies care enough to come back every week makes my heart happy. I only hope that I will continue to produce something that will make all you lovelies happy and coming back for more.

Now, I know a lot of you don’t celebrate Thanksgiving, but if you want, take a day out of your week and find something that you’re grateful for.

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
