I think September was secretly plotting on killing me, just sayin’.
Like hello what do you call –>
- drowning in homework
- getting sick and dying inside
- not blogging for a week
- not breathing BECAUSE NO TIME
I CALL IT ATTEMPT AT MURDER. Luckily I survived right? OTHERWISE, WHO WOULD LOOK AFTER MY CACTUS? October is a lot nicer to me because September was ACTUALLY SO MEAN TO ME. *glares*
I read 10 books! Which is surprising because school PRACTICALLY TOOK OVER MY LIFE? But I did a lot of reading on the weekend! Which was actually so great. I even got to breathe??
WHAT SHOULD I READ NEXT?
The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater ★★★★★ // So magical and weird and I LOVED IT SO MUCH. And the writing was gorgeous and A D A M. So much love for this book.
Champion by Marie Lu ★★★★★ // My. Feels. Are. Crushed. I WILL NEVER BE OKAY AGAIN.
Cinder by Marissa Meyer ★★★★☆ // An amazing retelling! Enjoyed every moment of it.
Spellbook of the Lost and Found by Moria Fowley-Doyle ★★★☆☆ // A little bit disappointed, not as good as The Accident Season but still super enjoyable.
The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater ★★☆☆☆ // I AM SO SAD I DIDN’T LIKE THIS BOOK? SO SO DISAPPOINTING. and boring as well.
Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman ★★★☆☆ // I CRY. So disappointing! Amazing ship but fell short on the sci-fi elements for me. #sadface
This Savage Song by V.E SCHWAB ★★★★★/// AGH AMAZING. I AM TRASH FOR ANYTHING SCHWAB WRITES.
Wonder by R.J. Palacio // Okay?? Not sure what to think. Maybe I’ll like it? WHO KNOWS.
Vicious by V.E Schwab // My brother is reading this at the moment and HE LOVES IT. I have converted him to a Schwabian.
Bone Gap by Laura Ruby // Started this and it’s very simple. Can’t wait to continue!
Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner // Really excited to read this one since I loved The Serpent King
An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson ★★★★☆ // I actually liked this?? I DOn’T EVEN KNOW ANY MORE.
Starfish by Akemi Dawn ★★★★★ // AND IIIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOUUUU
Oh hey, I WENT ON A UN-ANNOUNCED WEEK HIATUS. Haha, OOPS. Honestly? School gave me 686 homework that week and I didn’t even have time BECAUSE I WAS SO STRESSED, I hardly any time to even like to THINK ABOUT BLOGGING.
I also feel like my posts were of very little quality?? Like I just…Idk MAN. I feel like my stats are going downhill and I’m not putting that much effort into my posts anymore.
VERDICT: Not a very good blogging month.
I became more active on Goodreads! I made a lot of ‘friends’ and interacted a lot. WHich was kind of bad as well? because I wasted a lot of time on it as well and I HAD SCHOOL. And I shouldn’t have got so addicted. (ALSO FRIEND ME)
Lu interviewed me! BECAUSE SHE’S NICE LIKE THAT. It was like Cake queen and Ice cream queen AND IT WAS SO AWESOME.
I hit 1337 likes! Okay, don’t’ ask me why WordPress notifies me of these things? BUT YES THIS IS VERY COOL OKAY.
I decided to quit blog hopping and I WILL ONLY BE COMMENTING BACK. Apart from like my favorite 10 blogs, if you don’t comment on my blog, I won’t have time to check out your blog. When I have holidays I’ll check out your blog regardless but right now I have no time. SORRY GUYS.
I entered like 686 giveaways. #sorrynotsorry. I WILL PROBABLY NOT WINY ANY OF THEM but retweeting giveaway tweets is actually addicting. I need to stop okay. SOMEONE STOP ME.
One of my tweets went subtly viral. I THANK YOU, ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. EVEN my sister appreciates me okay??? I HONESTLY AM SQUEAKING THE FREAKING THE GEEKING OUT. LOVE YOU ALL.
ALSO ACE OF SHADES. Sorry, I AM A MESS. Amanda Foody is giving so many teasers of her new book AND I JUST NEED IT. She is literal genius okay? I NEED THE BOOK RIGHT NOW OKAY?! I like NEED it in my HANDS. I’m dying. Send help. OR HER NEW BOOK PLEASE.
And look Cait @ Paper Fury FREAKING FOLLOWED MY TWITTER. I AM SO NOT FREAKING THE FLIP OUT OKAY?? I AM NOT OKAY. In other news, this gu with a blue tick followed me BUT I have no idea who he is SO LET’S STICK TO FANGIRLING OVER CAIT FOLLOWING ME. AGHAHA.
My blog design is being appreciated. But a reminder that I DID NOT DESIGN IT. All thanks go to Emily @ Books and Cleverness (link in my footer) for designing. STILL, THANK YOU RAIN FOR GIVING ME THIS AWARD. It means SO MUCH TO ME!
I’m also on a Netgalley ban BECAUSE I NEED TO CATCH UP. Until 2018 I declare myself banned from requesting any books from NetGalley. I have so many ARC’s on there THAT I NEED TO READ like yesterday okay??

I’m doing Nanowrimo soon! I am actually really scared because this is my first time but I am really motivated and I have a plot and I really like it BUT I CAN’T TELL YOU much. I haven’t even started outlining. Send help.
I only managed to watch the first episode of GBBO and…?? It’s okay? LIKE THE PREsENTERS ARE PRETTY COOL; I like them. But I feel like Paul gives out too many handshakes and NO THEY SHOULD BE RARE?? And I haven’t had time to catch up with the rest of the episodes.
I ate a waffle.It tasted great, to be honest. I HAD NO ICE CREAM WHICH WAS TORTURE but it’s very cold here?? SO LIKE I don’t think ice cream was the best especially because I got ill.
I honestly didn’t do much apart from like…SCHOOL. I reserved a lot of library books and spent a lot of time emailing publishers for ARC’s but PEOPLE DON’T SHIP INTERNATIONAL AND I AM SAD
I baked cookies! Which was super fun AND THEY TASTED DELICIOUS OKAY??? I love baking.

I read no books this past month and now I am dead. Seriously, school robs me of my sanity. But I have kept up with writing my story. That is about it right now.
My goals for next month are as follows:
1) Survive School
2) Don’t die
This might prove difficult as I am already dead, but we will see how it goes.
Thanks again for mentioning me, and good luck with juggling school and blogging and all sorts of other essential life things like ice cream and waffles!

Wow, I should probably read that post you linked to about staying on top of commenting. I think I’m still pretty good at it, but I’ve definitely been slacking a little compared to the past! I also get your choice to stop blog hopping. I like hopping and can often find interesting stuff that way, but other times I devote a good chunk of time to it and just don’t find anything I’m captured by at all. It can be very hit or miss, so definitely a good thing to cut back on to focus on school and whatnot.

ILSA OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing my bookworm post… I actually loved that post but it wasn’t popular so ♥️♥️♥️♥️ for the VALIDATION! #icecreamsent
Congratulations on your viral tweet AND Cait following you!! It’s great when bucket list items are checked off… You were an INCREDIBLE reader this month! With school and all that was unexpected?! I didn’t much like Dream Thieves much either but felt a villain to all the fans if I said so… good luck with NaNo, it’s a great way to reach your goals! I definitely NEED to read Schwab (I have a Darker Shade of Magic on hold!) Happy reading in October Ilsa! 🌈
I left you the link cause I figured it’d be easier than you hunting for it! ♥️

Haha going Twitter Viral is hard! Yas Cait and I are kind of friends?!?!?! I HAVE A FAMOUS FRIEND Y’ALL. I don’t know how it happened. Also we are always arguing over who will be Queen of the Universe and I threaten to set her dragon secretaries on her.
I HOPE YOU ARE DESTROYED BY ODD. I mean this in the kindest way possible obviously. I guess, if you love ODD I can forgive you about Illuminae hahaha
