Bookworm

I splurged yesterday.

On books, no less.

I'm a nerd that way.

So when I find the time, 

here's what's next on my reading list...

Charlie St. Cloud

(The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud)

by Ben Sherwood

So many times after I see movie trailers,

I wonder if there was a book first.

And this one looked especially good.

And I usually don't like when books

resort to the movie covers,

but it was cheaper.

And I won't complain about Mr. Efron

being on the cover of my book. :)

The Last Song

by Nicholas Sparks

All of the movies I've seen

that have been based on his books

have made me cry.

I'm hoping this book and movie

will be just as enjoyable as

The Notebook and

A Walk to Remember.

The Hunger Games

by Suzanne Collins

My sister recommended this series to me.

And she so kindly left me the second book

for me to read when she was in Indy.

So, of course, I needed to go buy the first one.

The House of Spirits

by Isabel Allende

I read Of Love and Shadows

in one of my classes last semester.

And it was really good.

One of my friends recommended this

Allende book as well,

so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Little Women

by Louisa May Alcott

As an ambitious child,

I began reading this at a young age...

...and never finished.

I'm sure I'll enjoy classics like this

much more now anyways.

Like Pride and Prejudice,

or Anna Karenina.

(I own those, too!)

What's on your reading list?

So...am I official now? :)

Awards? For blogging? Who knew?!

Well, I'll take it!

List 10 things about yourself
List 5 additional things you DON'T like!

10 things about me...

1. I spend way too much time with social media.

I have a Facebook, Twitter, a blog, and I am considering starting up a Tumblr site.

I don't think I've even shut down my old MySpace.

2. My dream's exist way above my head.

They rise above reality and make me strive for the extreme to make them come true.

3. I always have and always will love the sport of softball.

In the summer I play in 3 to 4 leagues and love every minute.

4. My favorite color varies with my mood.

It usually floats between green, blue, and purple.

5. I could live in flip flops. FOREVER.

However, due to foot injuries over the years,

I have to wear tennis shoes every once in a while to avoid excessive pain.

6. I have the most random taste in entertainment.

My movie, music, and book collections are all so random,

but in my opinion, amazing.

7. I am a major procrastinator. See my previous post.

8. I also have terrible time management skills.

Anything more appealing than homework wins every time.

9. Driving around is one of my favorite hobbies.

The music and the wind are sometimes the best company you can have.

10. I often live on impulse.

At least when it comes to small things,

like how to spend my time.

Oh, and shopping.

(I need to do something about that last one!)

And 5 things I don't like...

1. I always get migraines. Silent ones, normal ones, they all suck.

My aunt keeps telling me to see a doctor and get some real medication.

2. When I'm really tired, or am just not thinking at all,

I say random, stupid things.

And every time after I say it,

I'm just like, "Really? I'm a dork."

3. I am awful at saving money.

So much so that when I was typing that,

I automatically started to type "spending money."

4. I am terrible at keeping my room clean at home.

Even though I am away at college,

my room at home still looks like a tornado went through it.

5. I take things too literally sometimes,

which is ironic, because I am extremely sarcastic.

I am passing this award on to 1 lovely bloggers (haha)..

Because sadly,

besides my sister who presented me with this award,

this is the only blogger I know.
