The Secret

My Reading Rush TBR

The Reading Rush (previously BookTubeAThon) is a week long readathon for book lovers all around the world. For one week readers gather together to read as much as they possibly can and to participate in challenges and giveaways online.

So I thought about participating last year, but just didn't get around to actually doing it. So I absolutely decided I was definitely going to do it this year! I'm really excited! If anyone else is participating, add me as a friend on the website! Here's my profile! :D

Now, to get to my TBR. So I'll do it in order of the challenges. 

Challenge #1: Read A Book With Purple On The Cover
My Pick:

Challenge #2: Read A Book In The Same Spot The Entire Time
My Pick: 
So I originally was gonna combine this challenge with #3 but I got approved for this this past week and decided since I read Ignite The Stars pretty quickly, that I'd insert this in for this challenge.

Challenge #3: Read A Book You Meant To Read Last Year
My Pick: 
So this wasn't my original pick, but I'm really in the mood to read it so since I never got to it in November, I figured this would be perfect. 

Challenge #4: Read An Authors First Book
My Pick: 

Challenge #5: Read A Book With A Non-Human Main Character
My Pick: 
I was torn between this or The Forever Song also by Julie, but I feel I'm more in the mood for Kitsune and Demons over Vampires. 

Challenge #6: Pick A Book That Has 5 Or More Words In The Title
My Pick: 
While I'm aware I could have used Girls of Paper and Fire for this one and doubled up, I'd rather use it as an excuse to read this cuz I've been DYING to get into it since my wish for it got granted! 

Challenge #7: Read and Watch A Book To Movie Adaptation
My Pick:
I've been meaning to reread City of Bone for AGES now so I'm using this as an excuse to do it. Plus the boyfriend brought over the DVD for it so its seriously perfect timing. 

Just curious, did any of you notice my ulterior motive with some of my picks?? *cough* 4 out of 7 of them are Netgalley books I need to read and review. *cough* Lol. I was so strategic about that. Readathon and catch up on review books?? Yup, sounds like a good idea!

The Avengers Movie

I don't remember ever going to a Midnight showing of a movie before. As a child, I was too busy swimming to actually think about doing things that took me off my schedule. As an adult, it just never seemed important enough. I always knew I could go to the movie later in the week and without all those people. However, we put together a small group to go see Avengers. I still almost backed out. I am just not a late night person and I have been exhausted this week. Truly squeezed dry. Got there almost two hours before the movie started. Two hours! And the line was already wrapped a few times around the movie theater. We were lucky though because one of the people in our group had cousins who had been there since 4pm. FOUR! That's six hours waiting in line. We gathered together hanging out in this enormous crowd of people. The occasional eruption of screams due to costumed people and recognition of friends arriving. And there were a lot of costumes. Grown men and women wearing The ...

August Wrap-Up & September TBR

So August has been my best reading month so far. Not nearly close to where my reading is usually at, but its getting back there. I did enjoy most of the books I read this month. So that's some good news. Books I Read In August: Library of Souls (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #3) by Ransom Riggs (5/5 Stars) A Map of Days (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children #4) by Ransom Riggs (5/5 Stars) The Deceivers (Vale Hall #1) by Kristen Simmons (5/5 Stars)   I finally got caught up on the Miss Peregrine's series! And I really enjoyed books 3 and 4 more than the first two. I don't know what it was, but I was just super in the mood for them and really enjoyed them. I also finally read one of my ARCs. Guys, you know how far behind I am. So this is a good thing. Lol.  Night of Cake & Puppets (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #2.5) by Laini Taylor (4.5/5 Stars) Red Rising (Red Rising #1) by Pierce Brown (5/5 Stars) Heart of Iron (Heart of Iron #1) by Ashley Poston (DNF) I...

Wordless Wednesday - Claire Thomas from Food for Thought

I got this recipe from Claire Thomas who hosts the TV Show Food for Thought . She is the cutest, sweetest and so far my favorite tv chef. Her recipes are so easy and she seems to have a talent for making every recipe seem doable. I actually set my alarm on Saturday mornings to get up in time to see her show (when I am not working). This past week, she featured her Australian Pasta which you should really visit her blog and read the back story to why it is named this. Funny!! I also got a wild hair and decided to make her Cream Scones . Here is the pasta sauce while it is simmering. Here is the final dish. Australian Pasta with strawberries (just finished cutting them for the week's snacks, so I threw a few in) and her scones (bc I didn't make bread). Also, Claire if you are reading this, QUESTION - On your blog recipe, you didn't specify searing the sausage and taking them out of the pan while the onions and garlic cook. But in your show, I distinctly remember you keeping t...
