Early last year, after deciding not to buy Lush for a year, I signed up for several subscription boxes. I wanted to try out a bunch of new things, and was really into the idea of reviewing them. But I spent a lot of money, and didn’t end up reviewing all that many of the products.
I know I am a bit crazy about sheet masks, but I want you to know, I’m still crazy about them. I bought these two packages of face packs in Epcot’s Japan pavilion; an incredible place to buy all manner of things from Japan. That includes skincare. I hope you all remember just how much I adored the terrifying (and also surprisingly good for my skin) Gudetama mask, because we’re in that same vein here.
Friends, I picked up A Semi Definitive List of Worst Nightmares exclusively because of the incredibly long title. I buddy read it with my friend Sam (we have different paces but planned a Skype date for when we got half way through), and we both fell in love with it. It’s a beautiful and sad book, but also incredibly positive.
Oh my goodness friends, I just read Ship It and it’s every Fangirl’s dream. Go read it yourself, immediately, because it’s even better than everything I heard about it!
To finish out our summer, my boyfriend and I are going on a road trip next month. We’ve been really excited about this for quite some time, and in that excitement, we’ve done some serious planning. So buckle up friends, it’s time to road trip.
I have some pretty strong feelings about this book, and I hate that they aren’t all positive. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s dive right in.
Hey geeks, Emily here with another fantastic recent read! I was recommended The Night Circus by a friend who also recommended Caraval; she told me that if I enjoyed Caraval (I did) then I would almost definitely love The Night Circus, and then she lent me both of her books. I absolutely adored The Night Circus, but it got off to a bit of a slow start. Let’s get into it!
A little while back, I read The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace, and the following day, I bought the second book, The Witch Doesn’t Burn in This One. They are both parts of the “women are some sort of magic” series, and they live up to that title.
If we have spoken for ten minutes or more, you know I’m a massive fan of Zodiac Starforce. ZS is a magical girl comic from creators Kevin Panetta and Paulina Ganucheau. Starring five incredible ladies, Zodiac Starforce deals with regular high school problems, cut with fighting monsters. It’s a lot. But this crew is up for it.
I’ve been reading a lot of fiction. It’s my favorite genre, and is usually easiest for me to read, because escaping into books can be truly wonderful. But sometimes, I need a little dose of nonfiction; a moment to live in someone else’s story. I picked up The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace not knowing what exactly was in store, but I’m glad I checked it out.
