Top 5 Wednesday: Goals of 2017

Top 5 Wednesday: Goals
  1. My first goal is to become a more critical reader.  I’m a pretty opened minded reader, though I have genre’s I read more than others and there are certain books I just won’t read, but mostly its hard for me to find fault in the books I read.  I’m sure there are faults and I just hate to criticize, but I am going to become a reviewer in a friend’s magazine, so I feel I need to learn to criticize and accept criticism of the books I like.
  2. My next goal is not let others influence my opinions. This doesn’t just apply to books, but to a lot of things.  I am a very sensitive and get easily offended. I struggle with accepting people teasing, so goal also refers to that as well, and accepting that people have differing opinions.  They won’t like/love the things I do.
  3. Keeping my room less cluttered and being able to have it the way I want while still satisfying my mom.  I came late to the fangirling party, so I’m trying to get the fangirl type stuff, like Funko pops, and my sees them as “toy” and creatures.  She doesn’t want a bunch of stuff in my room that isn’t mature looking.  In our old house I cluttered up my dresser, drawers, desk, and shelves.  I do get why, but at the same time I’m territorial of my space, so my goal is to find a compromise.
  4. Get a permanent job.  I have had a few jobs, but they were only temporary.  I will admit I’m a 27 year old bum, but to be fair I have a few disabilities that make it difficult, like I can’t drive—no joke, and I can’t comprehend calculation, so cash register is off-limits for me.
  5. Get 5 (maybe 10) chapters of my manuscript written/typed.  I am intending to be an author, but I get distracted easily and can’t focus on writing.  Every time I a form a plot I end up changing my mind later about the plot details, so this I year I will put more focus on to that.  I’m hoping that having a job and being able to walk to places outside of my house, other than the mailbox, will help me discipline myself, because I think part of my problem

Beginnings of Sarah J. Maas Collection

Here is my copy of the first two books in Throne of Glass; Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight.  I hope to get the third one, Heir of Fire for Christmas.  I'm loving the series so far.  Team Chaol!!!  But I like Dorian too, just not as Celaena's lover, but her good friend. I got both of these from BooksaMillion. Add caption I got this one at Barnes & Noble, but I will wait to finish it before I buy or ask for Court of Mist and Fury.  I'm hoping by then it will be in paperback, which I prefer since I take books with me wherever I go.

Top 5 Wednesday: Freebie

Top 5 Characters I Want to be Best Friends I decided for my Freebie to choose from one of the topic suggestions.   I don’t know if any of these characters would want to be friends with me Lol, but I like them and would love to be friends with them. 1.     Sansa Stark from The Song of Ice and Fire series by George RR Martin.   I admit, at first, I didn’t like Sansa didn’t appreciate how she treated Arya, but as the story goes on I have come feel sorry for her and fall for her character.   She goes through so much hell and survives so much trauma, and she needs a friend she can trust.   She also needs a friend who genuinely wants to be that, a friend, and she’s a sweet person, despite her attitude in the beginning. 2.     I would just love to be part of this friend group: Cinder, Scarlet, Cress, and Winter from The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer.   All these girls are really cool and would be fun to hang out with. 3.     Alice Cullen from Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.   She’s

Top 5 Polarizing Books

-
Twilight by Stephanie Meyer.  A lot of people in my generation can't stand this book, because they have realized how flawed this story is, and I get the dislike, I do.  As we get older we begin to see how bad a lot of YA like this can be, but I have a soft spot for this series.  This was the second series that I got into hardcore, the first series being Harry Potter, and I was one of those people who went through the vampire phase.  This was also the second series I got into that my mom liked too, and I am always trying to find ones that both me and my mom can enjoy. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.  I know a lot of people don't like this one, especially since the second one came out, and I have not read the second one so my opinion might change.  I loved the this book.  If it's a Beauty and the Beast retelling I'm going to be interested.  This retelling was done really well in my opinion.  I'll probably get mad at Tamlin like everybody else as a I r
