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. ...

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...
