10 Day You Challenge: Four Books

So, for some reason the last two weeks I've had NOTHING to post on my blog. I think I need some new adventures or something or other. Anyways, I am excited about this weeks post because I LOVE reading. Its one of my favorite thing to do. So I have a bit of books that I love and would be willing to read over and over again. So picking just four is going to be hard. 

Well, I hope everyone has a great week. 

1.

To Kill A Mockingbird 

Harper Lee

So, I read this in high school and thought it was amazing. 

A few years later, I was at chapters skimming the book shelves for a good book to read and saw the a special edition of To Kill A Mockingbird and bought it and re-read. I still love and maybe will read again soon. 

2. 

Disgrace
J.M Coetzee

In grade 10 english class I had to pick a novel from a list and write a book report and five minute presentation for the novel of my choosing. The first novel I read was the memoirs of a geisha and DESPISED it. 

and then my second book I chose was Disgrace. I had never heard of the author and just kinda picked because I didn't know what else to pick. 

I did not regret it one minute. Its a great book! 

3.

Harry Potter
J.K Rowling

I know some people out there are haters. And people object because of the magic and darkness of the books but she did a great job of creating a universe and story that continued for SEVEN books. I think I read some of the them twice. If she wrote another book I wouldn't hesitate to read it. 

4. 

The Lovely Bones

Alice Sebold 

If I ever need to murder someone this book taught me how to do it leaving no trace behind. After I read this book I think I recommended it to EVERYONE! 

Got some of my friends to read it, also lent it to a friend and never got it back. Now, if only I could remember which friend! 

If you haven't read it, READ IT!  

Other Recommendations:

anything by Jodi Picoult, Nicholas Sparks, Sophie Kinsella, Jane Austen, Emily Griffin, Marian Keyes.
I also liked the 12th Night by Shakespeare. 

I also enjoy Calvin & Hobbes and Archie comics. 

I will also be trying to complete Jane Eyre! and the rest of the Hunger Games trilogy. 

 

10 Day You Challenge: Five Food

So... I missed yesterday for some reason. Probably because I was at school for a long time and I actually went to the gym for the first time in a couple weeks and have continued to do so THREE TIMES this week. Anyways, yesterdays challenge was Five Foods. I LOVE FOOD.

Un

Chinese. 

Not all Chinese. Specifically a place in London called Dragon Gate.

Its so delicious. I still have to find a place like it. 

Deux

Spanish Food.
Nuff' Said. 

Trois

Mushroom Burger.
It has to be done right. And the mushrooms have to be sauteed correctly. 

Quatre

Pizza Hut
This restaurant has the best pizza. I have yet to eat a pizza that tastes better.

Cinq

Jack Astors Beef Chili Nachos

Fashion Weekend: Long skirts and weird smiles.

I have loved none but you. You alone have brought me to Bath. For you alone I think and plan. Have you not seen this?  Miss Elliot, I can bear this no longer. You pierce my soul. I'm half agony, half hope. Unjust I may have been. Weak and resentful I have been, but never inconstant. I offer myself to you again with a heart even more your own than when you almost broke it eight years ago. 

Captain Wentworth - Persuasion

Long skirts make me feel romantic.

10 Day You Challenge: Seven Wants.

It's TUESDAY again!  

*(Small Dance)* 

I was sitting at Applebee's yesterday with a couple of my friends and we were talking about blogging. You may know Cindy and Sarah. (if you don't, check 'em out) 

Anyways,
I was telling them how much I love Tuesdays and how this week it was seven wants. I'm very excited, I think I've been thinking about it all morning!

Seven

To be healthy. I've been sick for about a little over a week. And its driving me nuts. Stuffy nose, ear aches, sneezing, itchy eyes and headaches! I think this is my biggest want at the moment. 

Six

These shoes.

Five

a tour of England.

Four

I wouldn't mind this kind of body

Three

Clear skin. I've been dealing with breakouts lately and its crazy. I mean I'm 22 years old, isn't this teenage problems? 

Two

Singing lessons. I am now part of my church choir and we sing but I feel as if I'm the weakest link.

I can hold a tune, but I still have a lot to learn.

One

A piece of cake. I mean, a good piece of cake! 

Have a happy week everyone! 

Hairstyle: SockBun

I've got a sinus infection. 
I pretty much feel as if I'm going to die.
Your probably thinking I'm exaggerating but its just so hard to function correctly when your brain is constantly screaming at you for allowing it to hurt as much as it does. 

Anyways,
I don't have an outfit for this week yet, but I wanted to post videos of a hairdo I did last week I believe.
I love sock buns. 

I hope you enjoy!

Pay 'em a visit please :) 

I'm a pretty big fan of buns! So here's another day where I wore a bun without a the help of a sock bun.
I do like the structure that a sock bun adds. But sometimes I like to vary it up. 

Happy Thursday!

10 Day You Challenge: Eight Fears

Eight Fears

Before I start I just wanted to say how much I look forward to Tuesdays. Is that weird? 

I'm always so excited to see what people will write as their answers. Is that weird?
Anyways, I just like Tuesday.
Although today I had an exam, and I didn't realize it.
He changed our normal Thursday to Tuesday this week for personal reasons and in my head I thought I had a couple days to go over my notes. I was wrong.
So, I'm just going to hope for the best. I didn't feel totally stupid. So that's okay right?

Eight

Snakes. I don't know when I developed this fear. I've never been attacked by a snake or even encountered one that was on the loose and wild and venomous.I can't even watch them on TV or see them at the zoo. I think they are ugly. They don't have legs or eyelids.

 ItsSsSs just wrong. 

Seven

Falling. I don't like roller coasters for this particular little detail. Whose idea was it that dropping at high speeds was fun? I can do heights, just not the dropping.
Although, I do want to skydive at some point in my life.

Six

Losing my family. It would be like losing my life. 

Five

Dying in a car accident.
I had myself convinced for the longest time that this was the way I was going to die. I got into a car accident on the highway when I was 16. Rolling and crashing in barricades and landing in a ditch are not my thing. Which is probably why I despise driving.
I also think I'm going to get run into when I drive to school on the highway EVERYDAY.
Good thing I trust in the Lord.

Four

Not being successful at something in my life. I want to achieve success at something I love.

Three

This fear probably comes from watching criminal minds or something related to that. I hate walking alone to my car in the middle of the night. Its crazy I know. But when I have to, I run. 

Two 
That I'll  be alone forever. This comes and goes depending on the day and how I'm feeling. Sometimes being alone is what I want, and sometimes I want someone. Its an odd thing. 

One 
That I won't represent God in the way that I want. I want to represent love, hope and faith by how I look, speak and act. I fear that I'll let the worst of me come out and shine more then the best of me. But I can DO all things through Christ.
