Hey guys!
So I've been taking it easy, cleaning, reading, writing some, and editing for my girl Ray since BookTube-A-Thon ended. I've been so grateful for every day that I can sleep in, because trust me, I died during that read-a-thon. I haven't had enough pictures to do another Week in Pics just yet, but I may by Friday.
But the videos have continued on, and I've posted 2 since I last checked in. The first was an arc review, meaning more than one book in a comic series, and the second was my reaction to a teaser for the last of the greatest movie franchise in the history of cinema. Okay, maybe YOU don't feel that way about The Hobbit/Lord of the Rings, but *I* do.
So the first one is about why I have 8, yes, EIGHT DC comics in my house thanks to the library. As I've stated before, I wasn't really into Batman, only reading one or two graphic novel bind-ups every few weeks or even a few months. Then I picked up Batman: Night of the Owls. And I was hooked into the New 52, which I wasn't happy about happening when it did (hence why I hadn't touched it yet). Now I've read about 13 Batman Comics in the past 3 months, and am waiting on even more to come on hold for me at the local branch.
Here's everything about where you should pick up this New 52.
So this next vid was filmed on my cell phone, last minute because that's how I roll. No, I gave Ray her camera back for the first time in almost a month, thanks to me constantly reading. The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies released their very first trailer, which is just a teaser, but still. Lots of BookTubers film their reactions, so I decided to. It's a tad boring during the teaser, since I can't play the audio or show the footage, only me watching it. But after it ends you see me fangirling hardcore. Seriously, that's my reaction every time, but now I actually filmed it. I was hopping around my house right after. :D
And here's the teaser itself!

Thanks for watching, and make sure to subscribe on YouTube so you can see all my fangirling before I post it here!

#AYearAThon Wrap Up Videos
Hey guys!
So I've been lazy (what else is new?) and haven't posted for YOU guys what happened with #AYearAThon.
I finished books 2-8 of 1/2 Prince by Yu Wo. And the epilogue RUINED the series for me. SERIOUSLY, it's the WORST ending to a book I've EVER read! Feng Lan is WORSE TEN YEARS LATER than she is at the beginning! I don't mind who she ends up with, or the fact that the guys still fight every times they see each other (it's accurate to the characters and hilarious to boot), but SERIOUSLY. Making GUI get pregnant because she's LAZY!?! The random comments with NO explanation, the great plot point that's ignored!!! I'm done. I'm not touching anything else from the author, nor am I picking up Sequel, the companion novel to the series (much like Desert Tales for Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr).
And this is overlooking the gore of the final battle (seriously I was SO nauseous! DX ) and the random cruel malice that pops up in only one instance during the final battle from the MC. Nope. DONE.
Here's my video with a little more details that I didn't cover here:
But I still had two days of #AYearAThon left! I said in the video I decided to read Titan AE by Steve and Dal Perry, the novelization of the movie. I do like the movie, but I love the book. I thought of giving it to a friend, but nope, totally keeping it! Though she can TOTALLY borrow it, but it's mine! (We'll find another copy.)
So here's my full Wrap Up of the week with daily totals and a run down of my thoughts for Titan AE. Let me know, here or on YouTube if you want a full review of Titan AE!

May 14th Mini Book Haul (video)
Hey guys!
I posted a mini haul on Tuesday from the middle of May. Alright, it was filmed in the middle of May, but I actually went book shopping on the 2nd. I know, I know, I've got a million videos prefilmed. I'll try to stay on top of my hauls, but they're going up on my 3 vids a week. I can't help it, I love filming!
Speaking of filming, I'm uploading a video tomorrow. Yes, I forgot to post about the video here. Not anywhere else, just here. I'm forgetful, so sue me.
It's short and sweet, so please give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more videos!

Book Review: Nevermore by Kelly Creagh (video)
Hey guys!
So I've commented on YouTube, and made a remark in my giant haul from March/April that my relationship with this book is a conflicted one. I hate it, but there are definitely things about it I do like. This is one of Ravyn's favorite books of all time. So I went in thinking I'd at least like it, if not love it too.
I didn't. I explain this video, so please give it a look!
And again, sorry for not posting it on here, I actually posted it on Thursday, but it went live on Friday, since I was super busy, and haven't had a day to relax since then. Right now I'm doing a million things at once, and am totally not relaxing yet. Tomorrow I'm doing nothing. Today though, is the fourth day of craziness.

My Week(s) in Pics ~3/23 - 4/5~
Hey guys!
Sorry! I know, I know! I totally keep forgetting to this blog post! I'm having trouble editing my book, writing other stuff, reading, filming and editing videos, AND to my blog, all while trying to live what I've got of a life! If you saw my latest video, you heard this weekend was General Conference, where all of our church leaders give talks for 2 hours at a time, twice a day for two days. That's a lot of talks. I love it, but it takes up a whole day, literally.
So, I'll try to keep these posts going, because I do enjoy doing them, but I also need to post a video once a week, and this week I'll be posting a video hopefully every day. I'll try to take pics, but no promises!
Anywho, onto the post!
That was the past two weeks! This week should be awesome!
Please check out my YouTube vids!

This past week was my birthday!
We couldn't celebrate the day of my birthday, but the day of was institute! The teachers didn't know it was my birthday, but I got to take home a Iris Lily anyway! So beautiful, and it lasted the whole week, which was surprising, since they normally last less than 5 days.
It was my party, so I ate what I wanted to! Even straight cheese and tacos 3 at a time! YES!
This was my dessert! OMG, that ice cream was SO yummy! I had the first and last of it! Though anyone could have it in between! ^-^
My parent's birthday gift was tickets to Lindsey Stirling's performance here in town, but my brother was sweet enough to buy me 2NE1's latest album, Crush, as well as almost all of the singles they released before hand. Don't ask me why they're not on the album, they originally were supposed to be...
Several days later my dad took me to the mall for dinner, and let me run around. I picked up Bath and Body Work's Amber Blush lotion for free with a coupon, and this NYX Butter Lipstick. Love them both!
That was the past two weeks! This week should be awesome!

#AYEARATHON First Video
Hey Guys!
So...I did it. I posted my first video. The quality's terrible, but that's what I get for using a cheap camera. I have two more already filmed and the amazing LA Knight's already editing them into masterpieces. But this one I felt I needed to film and post ASAP...which meant I did it with my camera and my novice editing skills.
Anywho, enough about the quality. I've joined the Goodreads group #AYEARATHON, where we read together 1 book series all at once for a week. April 7th - 13th is Re-Read-A-Thon. I couldn't decide what series I wanted to re-read, so I let it fall to chance! Check it out below!
I'll be posting videos during that week, hopefully with a little better quality. Not sure if I can, since the other vids are being shot by LA Knight on her camera. But don't hold your breath. I'm broke, so buying a new camera is harder than me sawing my own arm off, or going on a shopping spree in New York City.
Let me know what you think of the video! Please give thumbs up and share!

MySpace Update
Hey ya'll!
Another update, I know, but this one has good news and bad news. Mostly bad news, I guess.
First Bad News: No, I don't have my background and latest writing just yet. My friend is quite busy (wish I knew the feeling) and is doing what he can when he can. So nothing yet, please bear with me, I'm anxious too, but my friend didn't have to do all this for free, and he did.
Second Bad News: MySpace no longer offers blogs on their site. They are all about music, so while I can do some things on there, my links in my table of contents are dead and have been removed. The extension of what I can do, I'm not certain yet, but I hope we can discover it together because--
Third Good News: I'm back on MySpace!!!! YAY! I *love* that site, always have. Being able to customize it, like this site, is awesome and I've always loved it. That's why I've maintained one profile, even if not my personal one. Excited to see how it pans out.
So please join me on MySpace, I promise I won't bite. Maybe I'll update it with special things like I do with Twitter!
Here's where you can find me on lots of sites!
