Hello, starshines!
If you’re up this late then, like me, you’re getting your twinkle on in some way. Whether it’s dancing around the kitchen to ‘September’ by Earth, Wind & Fire (guilty) or maybe finishing that book you started just three hours ago, you’re awake. Come on, we all get a little insomnia. Plus, some of the best movies are on at midnight. I know just the other night, I was finishing up my laundry and Friday Night Lights was on. My heart ached at seeing Lee Thompson Young (The Famous Jett Jackson, Smallville, Rizzoli & Isles). I miss him.
Who is happy that January is over!? It can’t be just me it. The month was dreadfully long. And where I am, it was ridiculously cold. I am ready for spring. I’m even more ready for summer. Two months down, one and a half to go. There were a few exciting things that was happened this month for me. I got some free books: Star Wars. I even got a new calendar that will help me brush up on my epic origami skills! They actually suck but I did make an awesome tee-pee:
I also went to see Mazerunner: The Death Cure. For anyone who knows me, knows the primary reason is because of this human,
I’m not going to give anything away. It was a great film. A lot of action and there were a few surprises at some parts. I did the awkward grimace and laugh at those heart-wrenching moments because I’m inhuman and suck at emotions. I really did have a blast and ODed on popcorn. No complaints. I’ve actually considered going to see it again. We’ll see.
Moving on to the important stuff! BOOKS! So I have some book on my queue for this month. I’m currently waiting on a pre-order that I’m beyond ecstatic for.
During this midnight hour, I’m going let you know what’s coming up, what I’m currently flipping through and what is up on the chopping block for review.
So, without further ado!
Coming soon…
Wither & Fever
Author: Lauren DeStefano
This series is a part of my New Year’s Resolution. I discovered it at my bookstore. Normally, I don’t go for the dystopian genre, but this one really piqued my curiosity. I can’t place why just yet.
The Crying of Lot 49
Author: Thomas Pynchon
I’ve previously read Vineland by the author and really loved it. It was totally nuts! My hope it that this one is, too.
There’s Someone Inside You House
Author: Stephanie Perkins
I miss a good slasher like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer and even The Final Girls, which came out in 2015. When I heard about this book back during Halloween it was put on my list and I picked it up instantly.
1984
Author: George Orwell
Within the last year this classic has been on and off the Bestseller’s List and I’ve been meaning to read it. I’m very curious about how close our current future is to the one of this book. Plus, this author is a GENIUS!
