Used Book Book Haul

Since I've gotten sort of behind on my video uploading I decided that I'm going to do a blog post of this book haul. I haven't made a post like this in a while so I hope I'm not too rusty!


  • Benjamin Franklin: The Autobiography & Other Writings. I purchased this to extend my growing classics collection.
  • Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler
  • Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
  • So Much Closer by Susane Colasanti
  • Wintergirls by Laurie Halse Anderson
  • The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield
  • The Freedom Writers Diary by The Freedom Writers with Erin Gruwell
  • The Brontes: Selected Poems

As you may have noticed a few of these are classics and if you know me personally you know that I've been slowly building up my classics collection. I think I'm close to being finished. If there are any you suggest I get or have read please comment below and tell me! 

Also if you have read any of these mentioned above comment and tell me what you thought of them!

Temporary Understanders

I like to pretend that my life is fine, not perfect, but fine. I enjoy acting like very loose piece has been picked up, thrown out or glued into place. 
Sometimes I start to stay up really late at night and then I start to think about things in depth. Overthinking if you will. Lately it seems it's the same thing that consumes my thoughts. Do you ever meet someone and it's like the puzzle piece fits? You just hit it off and then it all crashes down. You think so anyway. 
What about the ones who got away? The ones who understood you the most? It seems like those people are always temporary so you float between understanders. The ones who understand the most never seem to stick. 
What about those who you have deep history with you? Sometimes the quiet destroys you because you're lost without your understander. They had to be temporary though that's how life works. You always find a replacement understander. 
Do you ever wish understanders weren't temporary?

House Of Leaves and Black Heels


I absolutely love this picture. My best friend, Katilyn, got me House Of Leaves for Christmas. When I opened it all I could think about was my black heels. I set the book and heels together for a picture and it turned out beautifully.

Hello, Goodbye, & Everything In Between autograph

 I hope this is one of my next reads. I'm really excited for this book. Back in October there was a book festival and I got this signed, we even took a picture together! I am loving being able to take good quality pictures and videos for ya'll. Hopefully soon I'll get some ways to make different backgrounds.

The cover of this book and the wood of the stairs really stands out to me for some reason, I don't know why, but I just like it. Maybe I like it because I like pink and brown together.
