- I'm currently working on a review for A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas, and I'm also planning on writing another separate review for A Court of Mist and Fury, the sequel. It may take a while, and I may have to reread ACOTAR, because reading the second book has changed a lot of my opinions of ACOTAR.
- I posted another lyrics video on YouTube about a week ago, maybe? It's the lyrics to "Knocking On My Heart" by Maggie Lindemann, which I found on Spotify and became OBSESSED with it. Here's the link: Knocking On Your Heart by Maggie Lindemann-Lyrics
- School's starting soon, which means that I'm going to be reading a whole bunch of new books. I know that people usually read more in the summer, but it seems that I am the opposite. I usually don't read very much at all during the summer, and that makes me sad, but I can't force myself to read! On top of that, I got my new smartphone this summer, so I've been spending a lot of time on it. :/ Whelp. Anyway, what that means: MORE REVIEWS! (Hopefully)
- THE TWENTY ONE PILOTS CONCERT WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I didn't mention it in my last post because it was a tag, but the concert was amazing, and I loved it, and it was everything I hoped it would be, and I want to go to another one with better seats. I'd show you videos that I took but
a) we were very far away, so the camera quality sucks
b) you can hear me singing, and let's just say that my singing is...bad and
c) no way am I taking that much time to upload the videos onto my computer.
So yes. I'm labeling this post with "twenty one pilots 2016 concert", because I want to believe that there will be more. :D Also, can we all just take a moment to appreciate "Heathens"? (THEY PLAYED IT, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) - Does anyone know someone who could design my blogs for free? I want to fully redesign this blog and my other new blog, but I don't know anyone that still designs blogs for free. If you want to recommend someone, PLEASE comment below with their website, or email, or something.
- I dyed my hair purple last night!!! Actually, it's just about 1/3 of the way dyed from the bottom up, but it didn't really show, so I'm going tomorrow night to get it redyed. So the color will "pop", quoting my stylist.
Okay, with updates done, I'm going to get into the real reason I'm making this post--to tell you what books I want to read in the future! The point, you might ask? Well, the point of this post is so that if you have read any of these books, you can comment down below and tell me which ones you loved/hated, which ones you think I should get a hold of first, and which ones I should write some reviews about because you may also want to read them. Sound good? Let's do this then.
