This week’s post is all about the childhood characters I would love to meet as adults. Let’s jump right into it! 1. Fern from Charlotte’s Web I still remember curling up in old bedroom reading Charlotte’s Web with my mom as a wee kindergarten student. It was one of the first real books I remember reading and the movie was actually the reason I was a vegetarian for two years when I was younger. I would love to…
Top 5 Wednesday: Best Moms
Mother’s Day is just around the corner, so why not talk about some of the best maternal figures in literatures history. 1. Molly Weasley from Harry Potter She’s undoubtedly the best mother figure and handles 7 children, as well as Harry, with ease. She’s got this mothering thing down. I wouldn’t mind a trip to the Burrow myself. 2. Mindy from Eleanor and Park She’s real, and I think that’s my favorite thing about her. She makes mistakes and apologizes for them and understands that she’s still learning. She treats Park and Eleanor well and the love between her and her husband is inspiring. 3. Natalie Prior from Divergent Natalie is one of…

Today’s list is all about getting a laugh. Let’s jump right into the book that have made me chuckle in the past. 1.

Me and Earl and the Dying Girl
Title: Me and Earl and the Dying Girl Author: Jesse Andrews Genre: Young Adult Fiction Quotation: “When you convert a good book to a film. stupid things happen.” Would recommend to: anyone interested in coming up with ideas. “Me and Earl and the Dying Girl” doesn’t seem like such a great book. Maybe you pick it up and think it will be funny, or heartwarming, or…something. You don’t know what it is you’re hoping for, but you pick it up anyways, without knowing what to expect. I read this book on my plane ride to New Jersey. It was a great plane read because it’s not too heavy (surprisingly) and it’s…
The Best Time to Buy a Book is All the Time
So I’ve done some shopping…I’m not proud of my addiction, but I understand it’s better than most. This is an extremely collective haul of books, some that I received as gifts and some that were free and some that were fewer than five dollars. So without further ado, let’s see what I’ve bought lately. Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy Along with this book, I picked up a little bookmark that says “Eat.Sleep.Read.” The perfect mantra for me. It’s a book about a girl who thinks she’s going to die from cancer, so she confesses all these truths to people. She ends up surviving her ailment and is left…
