Day Five: What is on your personal wish list this year?

I don’t usually ask for gifts on Christmas. I haven’t since I got older. It’s so hard trying to think about what I want for Christmas, when I usually just buy what I want throughout the year. I mainly ask for books and gift cards, which usually means Amazon gift cards and I buy my own books, lol. I also usually ask for anything Doctor Who and Supernatural related.

There were two other things that I did ask for this year though. Those things being a new bed set (sheets, comforter, pillow cases). I also seen this thing on Shark Tank (I love that show so much) called a Simply Fit Board, so I asked for that. I am horrible with exercising and eating good, so this little exercise equipment thing looked fun and easy. I could totally watch my favorite TV shows and do it at the same time, haha.

They have videos and stuff on their website, but this is pretty much what it is.

I don’t really ask or expect much, because honestly, I like giving gifts more than receiving them. I usually already have the things that I want and it’s always fun for me picking out gifts for other people. It’s kind of like a game, plus I really love wrapping presents, haha. 🙂

What are things on your Christmas wishlist? Let me know! 🙂

Top Ten Best Books I Read In 2015.

Hi!

I have read and listened to so many books this year, which has been so exciting! I’m really excited to share with you ten of my favorite books that I read in 2015. It wasn’t easy picking just ten!

I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga – Actually, the entire series! It’s one of my top favorites now. There was never a dull moment and it was pretty intense! The things that happened were crazy and so unpredictable. So many OMG moments.

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness – Words can’t even explain how much I loved this book. It broke my heart into a million pieces and I still haven’t put it completely together again. I can’t wait to finish the series next year.

Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli – Simon ❤ I don’t even I ever stopped smiling while reading this book. Becky did such an amazing job with writing it. I still thinking about Simon and Blue all the time.

Shattered Blue by Lauren Bird Horowitz – Lauren is my girl! Love her! I also loved her book so much. It was so hard to put down and there were so many twists and things going on. There is also some awesome poetry as well! A whole new take on the Fae! I still can’t get over the ending and I can’t wait to see more from Lauren!

Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard – Red Queen was so fantastic! I couldn’t put into words how much I liked it. I had to use gifs in my review of this book. I wasn’t expecting any of the things that happened in this book and it was exciting. I am dying for the next one!

Dumplin’ by Julie Murphy – HIGH FIVE for Julie! Willowdean will forever be engraved in my mind and heart forever. I enjoyed this book so much and it really got me thinking about myself. Forever rooting for Willow!

Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon – The cutest book ever. Seriously, it’s so cute I can’t stand it! 😛 I loved everything about this book. Everything, Everything was in fact everything!

Angelfall by Susan Ee – Actually, the entire series for this one as well! Susan Ee is amazing, end of story. This series was amazing! From beginning to end. It also had it’s creepy factor, which was awesome! So different from anything I’ve read.

Made You Up by Francesca Zappia – Magic Eight ball, is this book amazing? WITHOUT A DOUBT! I flew threw this book, because it was that good. It was hard to get back to normal life when reading this book. So well written, love the characters, loved everything about it really.

Broken Hearts, Fences, and Other Things to Mend by Katie Finn – I also loved the second book and novella in this series as well. Broken Hearts was so fun to read. Lots of surprises, lots of laughs, and lots of “OMG”. The ending was a total shocker. I can’t wait for the last book in the series. You Morgan Matson fans might love this since Katie Finn IS Morgan Matson. 😛

I hope you have a great day!
