Christmas is THREE days away! And with that only nine days until the new year! With that being said, this week’s Top 5 Wednesday is dedicated to the series I want to tackle in 2016. Let’s get started! 1. Game of Thrones I’ve been hesitant to start these since I know they aren’t done yet, but I think 2016 is the year for me to finally get into this book, as well as the TV series. (I’m thinking of binge watching it in January.) 2. The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy I have the entire series compiled into one book and looking at it is actually terrifying. It’s quite the…
Top 10 Tuesday: Santa Can You Hear Me?
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It’s a fun way for bloggers all over the Internet to connect and post the things they love about books. It is the eve of the eve of the eve of Christmas (that means Christmas is three days away!), so I’m here to tell you about the books I hope I can find under the Christmas tree this year. 1. Not That Kind of Girl by Lena Dunham It finally came out in paperback, and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. I’ve heard SO much about it since it came out and have wanted to…
Treasure Tuesday
1. I am currently reading “Too Soon Dead” by Michael Kurland. 2. I just spent two days in Universal with my mom visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and I had a blast! Thanks so much Mom & Dad for a great birthday present! 3. I’ve really gotten into non-fiction books this year. Here’s Buzzfeed’s compilation of this years 19 best non-fiction books. 4. 5. Christmas is only three days away! I hope everyone has a lovely holiday and gets all the books on their wish-list and more! Happy reading, Kimberly
The Book Thief: A Review
Title: The Book Thief Author: Markus Zusak Genre: Young Adult Fiction Quotation: “I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.” Would recommend to: anyone. I know, I know. I finally read “The Book Thief.” And here’s what I think: 1. Death is compassionate. If you don’t already know, this book is told from the perspective of Death during World War II. It’s an interesting stance to take during a time when death was so prevalent. It made the war that much more heartbreaking. I loved this perspective because it’s something you can never truly know but can only imagine – and that’s what books are for.…
Top 5 Wednesday: Reading by the Fire
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! That means curling up next to the fire (whether it be real or digital) with the best books and passing the time in the only acceptable way before the craziness of the holidays. This week is dedicated to those books that are perfect for reading on a cold, winter day. 1. The Favorite This is the most acceptable time to pick up that book people are always surprised you are re-reading. It’s your favorite. The one with the dog-eared pages, crinkled spine, and well-worn cover. You’ve read it so many times, you know it by heart. Yet you still love it and…
Top 10 Tuesday: Books I Read in 2015
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It’s a fun way for bloggers all over the Internet to connect and post the things they love about books. With the year coming to a close (10 days ’til Christmas!), today I am going to talk to ya’ll about the best books I read in 2015 (in order of appearance). 1. The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by Frank. L. Baum Such a wonderful tale that expands upon the movie and makes it an even more memorable story for people of all ages. 2. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkein My first introduction into Tolkein’s world, and I…

The Museum of Intangible Things: A Review
Title: The Museum of Intangible Things Author: Wendy Wunder Genre: Young Adult Fiction Quotation: “It’s liberating, energizing, and thrilling to step outside all of the rules of decorum and exist in a place I’ve never dared to inhabit.” Would recommend to: anyone that has ever known anyone who has wanted to escape who they are. This was another one of those young-adult books that didn’t turn out the way I expected it. And I kind of liked it. Here’s a basic outline of the book: These two girls have been best friends since childhood and they know exactly how the other one ticks. They have been through more than any normal 18 year-old friendship has…
Treasure Tuesday

This video of a panda is definitely likely to brighten your day. 5. I hope every still in school is surviving finals and thinking about curling up with a good book over winter break! Happy reading, Kimberly
Assholes: A Review
Title: Assholes *A Theory Author: Aarons James Genre: Sociology Quotation: “Life affords only so much time, and there are better things to do — sweeter spots to hit — than perfection in the asshole management arts.” Would recommend to: anyone who lets the asshole in their life get them down. I apologize now for the profanity, please feel free to exit this post and go look at Pinterest recipes that you will probably never make if you are anything like me if the word “asshole” offends you. Okay, now that they are gone, let’s get down to business. This book was HILARIOUS. James is a phenomenal writer that has some amazing talent hidden up his…
