May Wrap-Up & June TBR

Hi guys! So I know you guys have noticed I've been pretty absent from the blog for the first 5 months of this year. It wasn't something I necessarily planned, but life happened. I don't really wanna explain it for like the 3rd or 4th time, so I'll link to the post that kinda explains everything thats happened since like December, but things are turning around guys! While my depression finally subsided around the end of March, beginning of April, there was still a fair amount of turmoil going on with other things. But, a lot of that has died down as well and I'm finally feeling really motivated to blog and read again! The past two weeks I've really felt like I wanted to start posting again and I've been really looking at my books wanting to pick them up again! This is so huge since even after the depression subsided, I still had no motivation to pick up a book. And I tried. But I'm really happy that I'm finally feeling the motivation again because I've genuinely missed blogging and reading so much.

So I did actually get started on a book this month, or more so, the last two weeks. I'm not super far into it yet, but I'm actually really looking forward to reading more of it. So that book is:


Guys, I'm really enjoying what I've read so far. You guys know I loved The Illuminae Files by these two so I thought this would be a good book to help get me get back into reading and I was right. I just love a good sci-fi novel and I've been feeling a pull towards a few sci-fi books since I've been feeling like reading again. 

With that being said, even though I didn't read a whole lot in May, I was productive. I've been behind the scenes scheduling stuff for June. I have 7 posts scheduled now, with a few more I need to write. I've been putting holds on a few audiobooks and kindle books from the library. Two actually just came in this week! AND, I actually have 3 discussion post ideas for June!!! Guys, you know I struggled coming up with topics last year so I'm thrilled I have 3 ideas for this month already! :D

So despite my TBR looking like a lot, I don't think it actually is and I'll explain why under each set. 

So these are all books I've already started. More specifically, I'm halfway through Archenemies, A Question of Holmes and Metro 2033 already. So those won't take much to finish. And I know I'll get through the rest of Aurora Rising pretty quickly too.

So if Jack the Ripper was any indication of pacing for this series, I should get through Dracula and Houdini pretty quickly. And Hunted and Sea Witch are both Audiobooks so I'm not even worried about them because two audiobooks in one month should easily be a breeze for me!

So Soul of the Sword and Finale should also be quick reads based on how I read the previous books. The only two I feel like might be longer reads this month honestly are Storm and Fury and DEV1AT3. So I think I have a good lineup I should be able to get through.

90% Raw

I have been working on going raw for over a week now. Seems minimal, but I feel pretty good. So far. I did experience a HUGE day of food withdrawal. Sadly it was at work. LOL My poor boss. I lost it before lunch knowing I was going to have to eat my healthy lunch and all I wanted was crap. It was horrible. I was literally nuts for 20 minutes. Him pushing me to eat crap is what helped me choose to eat my healthy lunch. Ironic, huh? About two hours later, I felt the relief of normal again . (well semi-normal) So far I have struggled the most with making my lunch for work. I have to start making it the night before because I keep hitting snooze til I am running late. Damn. I have to get to sleep earlier. I am trying to leave leftovers in an easy to sort out container that I can just grab and go. My favorite part is grocery shopping. lol And enjoying my meals once I sit down. I am realizing that I am eating much slower and really tasting my food. I still read while I eat, but I notice I am...

Book Review: Unseen by Stephanie Erickson

Title: Unseen The Unseen Trilogy Book 1 Author: Stephanie Erickson Publisher: Pickles Press Publish Date: November 19, 2014 Goodreads Amazon It has been quite the ride this week with fantabulous book after fantabulous book!! Stephanie Erickson kept me in the book hangover with The Unseen. Mac has always been odd because when she was a little girl she realized she could read others thoughts. A doctor provided her with iLs. Mac wears this device on her ears. It plays music and drowns out the thoughts of others allowing her to concentrate. Ever since she was little, she has always wondered why she has this ability and if she is as alone as she feels. One day she sees a man watching her and from there, things change. She has hard choices to make and it will always change her. I am looking forward to the following books in this series to see if Stephanie Erickson develops the others in the Unseen that appeared occasionally while Mac was in training. I am so enamored with the back stories of...
