November To Be Read - List!



Hello, everyone! I'm back, and I'm here to list off the books that I will (hopefully) be reading this month! I've got another substantial list this month, with two books over 400 pages. I also have a book from one of my graduate classes as well as this month's Booksplosion book of the month. Well, with all of that said and done, let's get onto the list!



So I'm starting the first book of this list with the book that I am currently reading. It's The Chess Queen Enigma, third book of the Stoker and Holmes series, and it features our two heroines Evaline Stoker and Mina Holmes. I'm hoping to get a bit deeper in the overarching story, and I have to say that I really hope to get further into the back stories of all of the characters.



Up next is another book that I'm currently reading, except this one is for my America in Revolt class. It's called The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe. What's really cool about this book is that it features the author of a previous book, Ken Kesey. So far, it's a little trippy, but you can guess that from the cover of the novel.



This next book that I'm going to talk about is a bit different from other novels. It's Life and Death: Twilight Reimagined by Stephenie Meyer, which tells the story of Bella and Edward except now they are Beau and Edythe. That's right! It's a genderbent Twilight! If you want to read more about how this version came about, check out my post here! It's safe to say that I'm pretty excited about this book.



This book is probably the most anticipated soon-to-be-released book of November. Of course, it's Winter by Marissa Meyer, the last of the epic Lunar Chronicles series. This book is a bit longer than the others at a whopping 832 pages, but I'm hoping to get it in before the month ends. Fingers crossed!



This is my last book for this month's TBR list and it's this month's Booksplosion Book of the Month! I think this is going to be an interesting read just because it's not like other books. The premise of this book is that it is a collection of hacked materials that tell an overarching story. I'm sure it will all be hashed out when the BookTalk happens, which I will also post on the blog and on twitter!

Well, that's it for this list! It's a bit of a doozy, but let's see if we can do it! Comment down below with some of the books that you're going to be reading this month!

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
