Hello Peoples!

I have never done a “Top Ten Tuesday” before, but after seeing this around I thought to myself why not give this a try? If it doesn’t go well for you just don’t do it again! So, here we are! .)

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish. (All the below covers aren’t mine, my internet isn’t wanting to work, so I can’t add the links )

So, last week or so I decided to take pictures of my cup collection and my books. I’m pretty proud of the results-

This isn’t all my books, its about 1/12 of ’em. I LOVE the covers of some of these. My favorite, cover-wise, is Heartless. But Artemis Fowl: The Atlantis Complex is my all time favorite book. I got very few of these new, their mostly from thrift stores and the local homeschool co-op’s book sale. Ain’t they beautiful?!

*Sigh* I wish I had more shelf-space. At the moment we are trying to build on to our house and when we get the new storage room finished my closet is getting cleaned out and I am getting TONS more space.

That’s all for now…

NO WAIT!!!!!!!

I SAW THIS ON PINTEREST THE OTHER DAY AND I DIED LAUGHING! I DON’T EVEN GET WHATS SO FUNNY ABOUT IT!

Whew. Now I’m done.

CARRY ON MY WAYWARD SONS!

I’m also not gonna be able to post like this very often, it’ll mostly be scheduled posts for the next six months or so.

Has anyone read any interesting books that they would like to recommend? I’m open to any and all suggestions!

Book, tbr

Average LOTT Follower- “What?! Alex is trying to copy other bloggers?!”

(LOTT stands for Lordofthetrekkies, in case you couldn’t figure it out)

I’m not copying anyone, I’ve actually been thinking of doing a monthly TBR for, well, months. One of my new years resolutions is to blog more, so here we are.

OOOOOOOOOOOOH! Should I do a post about my new years resolutions? Comment and let me know please!

Anyway, this month I have four books lined up-

   Is it possible to fall in love with a book cover? 😉

  I have only ever read Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories, so this is a really big deal for me.

  Ten times the charm, right?

  I have the first three books in this series, #1 was okay.

Those are the books I’m planning on reading this month, wish me luck! (Or a broken leg, that would give me more time to read ’em)

2017 Books #1

books, tbr, the adventurers guide, The last train north

Hello to all my peoples!

Last year I read so many books, but didn’t keep track of them. This year is gonna be different. These posts aren’t going to have fixed dates, they’ll happen when I finish a book and/or when I start one. No schedule=No stress. I might also do monthly wrap-ups, after January of course, but it’s not definite. Oh, these are in no way reviews, so there.

I just finished reading The Adventurers Guide to Successful Escapes by Wade Albert White. And I gotta tell ya, that is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. It’s funny, easy to understand and follow, and its pretty original (at least, I’ve never read anything like it). Long story short- I loved it. I can’t wait to read the next book. I give this book a 4.9/5 rating ;).

You can find this book at Goodreads here.

After an unsuccessful attempt at The Giver (it literally made me throw up. How can people write stuff like that?!) and about a week of being afraid to read anything new, I decided to read The Last Train North by Clifton L. Taulbert. I don’t usually read books like this but since its been sitting on my shelf for so long I thought I’d take a stab at it. I want to write a synopsis (thats the right word, right?) before I read so that I’m unbiased.

The Last Train North is the story of a young black man who travels to St. Louis thinking that people of all colors were living peacefully side by side. Based in the 1960s, this book follows Taulbert as he arrives in St. Louis and finds that its nothing like what he had been told, or what he had dreamed.

Thats basically all I know about this book right now, but I can’t wait to get started!

Till we meet again,
