I Hate Myself

Hello!

Yes, it's true. Sometimes, I really hate myself because I don't give myself enough time to read. So, here's the deal. I haven't been reading all that much, I'm currently reading The Gunslinger by Steven King, but I recently forgot it at my grandparent's house so it's not in my possession, and I've been watching Grey's Anatomy. And not just watching, but watching for basically every minute I'm not skiing (have I mentioned ski practice has been at 7 a.m. every morning over break? I've been getting up earlier over break than I do for school) which is fairly often, but every other minute I'm attempting to watch Grey's. I started three weeks ago and with school work and the skiing I am now more than halfway through season five.

WARNING: SPOILERS

I won't be talking about the show all that much because I emotionally can't. But I AM CRISTINA. I'd just like to say that. I just reached the part where everyone FINALLY finds out about Izzy because she's annoying and doesn't use her doctor brain to figure out the fact that Denny isn't just grief but whatever. Also, Merder? New OTP by far. I hate myself because yes, I know what's coming and yes, I am thoroughly upset before it's even happened. ALSO ON SEASON FIVE AND I KNOW BASICALLY ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DIE AND NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GEORGEEEEEEEE. I'm really unprepared for George because he is amazing and I know that when he dies everyone thinks he's going to war so he's a John Doe and they don't know he's dead and basically so not ok it's not even funny. It's not funny, AT ALL. LEXIIIIIIIIIII. MARKKKKKKKKKKK. DeRekkkkkKkkkKkkKkkkKKkkk. I'm ok. Maybe. Is it also bad that this show really wants to make me be a doctor? I think it is. Fake things should not make your life decisions, right?

thank you, dead vampire (SPOILERS) for explaining my feelings

I didn't exactly write this post to be all about Grey's though, I wrote it to talk about all the things that have been dragging into this reading slump. I reallyreallyreallyREALLY WANT TO READ OKAY?!?!? I just can't. I go in the #drarry and the #jily tag and it's a black fuckin hole, man. Everything there is so funny and adorable and honestly, why wouldn't you just hang there for the rest of your life? I have a ridiculous amount of books to read (an not a big enough bookshelf, but that's beside the point) and I WON'T READ. I'm probably one of the absolute most annoying people I know.

Besides the reading slump, not having a wonderful break. I had a good Christmas and I saw my friends, and that was nice. I've been getting up at 5:45 in the morning. I hate too many people in my life (CRISTINA). I just doesn't work out well for me overall. Oh well. I have Grey's and my friends. I will survive. HEY HEY. Sorry. Unnecessary.

I also am so FUCKING EXCITED BECAUSE ShAdOwHuNtErS comes out in FoUrTeEn DaYs. I'm REALLY excited. Ok, now I'm all good. Also, if that link is not enough fangirl material, there are promos all over YouTube and Instagram.

Royals, iZombie, and Once, Oh my!

Hello!

Do you like my cliché title? I'm not even sorry about it. But it was shows galore this week because last week was "a week off for thanksgiving blah blah blah" and I found it really stupid! But now I am bursting at the seems to get down to it so lets go!

The Royals

Ok, pretty sure I have review this show yet, so let's get a premises up in here. The monarchy is still active in England and the oldest son, Robert, is murdered, now the second son Liam is first in line to the throne. This murder sends the whole country and royal family into an emotional tailspin, specifically the youngest, Eleanor. Eleanor is easily off-set and very reckless. Liam and Eleanor now are attempting to find their brother's killer, their mother is trying to back-seat run the country, and their father is extremely off-put.

Now for spoilers!

The latest episode was season two episode three. I totally forgot over the break that the king died and I was really freaking annoyed that I forgot because I had to go through that pain again. Eleanor will always be my favorite character, that's never going to end and I think Beck needs to take a step back and stop trying to tame my fiery little tiger. Don't get me wrong, I love Beck, but stop. Now. But it doesn't matter because they're taking time apart now. And their whole chat about her needing to drown everything out with the noise and him needing the quiet was so hard-hitting because, who hasn't felt like that?

LIAM I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU WENT TO NEW YORK TO SEE OPHELIA I'M SO MAD AT YOU I CAN'T EVEN CONTAIN IT. She's horrible for you, she moved on real quick, she changed her number just so she can't talk to YOU. Honestly, I hated Ophelia from the beginning, I knew she was going to hurt my baby Liam and it pissed me the fuck off. He just put himself through too much pain going to see her.

Well, those are the only things that happened that I really cared about. ALSO HAHHAHAHA CYRUS HAS TO GET HIS BALL CUT OFF HAHAHAHAA. Sorry, I really really don't like him and I think he really really deserves this.

Once Upon a Time

i told you dark hook would be sexy. creds: the hollywood reporter

Fine, fine, fine. I admit it. They MIGHT be over. Oh god I was crying for hours, I was in complete denial, they can't be over how could that ever happen and CAPTAINSWAN FOREVER. I had such hopes at the beginning when they were kissing and they were going to be the Dark OneS together and noooooooooooooooooo. I'm actually an emotional train wreck because of this show and whenever I talk about it with people they always say "Then stop watching it." CAN YOU FREAKING NOT!?!?!? (that was too much emphasis but I don't care). Regina was so good in this episode but Hook just repeatedly made me cry every time I saw him and it got badd. Although he did look realllllly sexy. Oh well. This is just like Draco Malfoy. I'm so not even sorry, it's ridiculous. I love Hook no matter what I'm a ridiculous person and i need to sit the eff down because if I were someone else, that's what I'd say. I'm a disaster.

iZombie

This episode was really stressful because I totally thought Liv was going to find all his Zombie hunting things and his work and it scared me because LIV DOESN'T DESERVE THAT SHIT. And Ravi was really great in this episode and the stalker-ness was a yes yes yes it made the show so much better because, let's be honest, it was falling flat. But this episode re-intrigued me. I'm very terrified that the season finale will be everything bad coming out in the open and nothing finishing right and I absolutely cannot deal with that fact. There wasn't actually that much to say with this episode so, I'm done.

Well, those were the shows I watched this week. Also, the new Captain America: Civil War trailer?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??! STRESS. STRESS.

I'm Really Boring After Awhile

Hello!

I felt like my blog is going flat with all the Once, so I decided to get other people's opinions on books! I sent out a question to some friends and asked the question
"What is your favorite book that you’ve read as a teenager? Why?" and here are their responses with my short review of the book (if I've read it). (I'm the bullet points).

Katie Rusconi: The Harry Potter series.

• I love Harry Potter honestly, I think that it has really made up who I am. I read those in probably second grade and they were read to me while in my mothers stomach so... yeah first books ever and best books ever. They are just genius and magical (pun not intended {jk}) and just really engaging to anyone of all ages.

Grace Donahue: lol…… I hate reading. The only book I’ve read that was not required by school was Better off Friends which was pretty good. I liked it because it was short and easy to read but it’s really cute!

• I've never actually read that so kudos to her for reading I book I haven't #surprised.

Reede Nasser: Kinda still a tennager…. But I love Thirteen Reasons Why. I will always love Harry Potter or Divergent but the book doesn't sugar coat anything it stays real throughout the book and the emotions are derived from the author's own conscience. It makes you realize that those types of situations actually do happen.

• Thirteen Reasons Why is actually fabulous, I read it in a day. I couldn't put it down it was just really gripping and really kept me on the edge of my seat. Really great book, highly recommend.

Sam Petersen: Teenager is a super broad term… I don’t really believe in having a favourite book, because everything is my favourite everything. I loVEEEE anything by Sophie Kinsella, but I read those before I was a teenager (you probably shouldn’t though HA). Those are absolutely fabulous, hilarious, real, and actually taught me a lot about… life? I don’t know, they’re amazing and absolutely great for adults and children who like adult books alike :) I also really love I’ll Give You The Sun for a billion reasons including the fact that it’s hilarious and sad at the same time and AAHHHH I have so many other ideas. John Green is always a classic. THE NIGHT CIRCUS IS GREAT TOO. OOOH AND DAVID LEVITHAN. Annie, you know you shouldn’t have sent me this question. I need to be doing trig.

• Oops, never read Sophie Kinsella but I'm trying! I'll Give You The Sun is probably one of the most legit books I've ever read, it's one of those books that you think couldn't happen but then think again and realize it does. All the time. Everywhere. You see things all around you that you can relate to that book. John Green....eh. I really really want to read The Night Circus it sounds amazing! David Leviathan is great.
• P.S. when Sam writes practically half your blog post for you ;D

Isaac Cortes – …

• Thanks for the input there, buddy.

credz to sugarycynicism

Maya Levine: Ahh there are so many of them. Probably the Mortal Instruments series or It’s Kind Of A Funny Story. I love the plot of both of them so much and I guess I can just connect to the characters. Also anything by John Green (especially Will Grayson Will Grayson).

• THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS = YAASS. John Green....eh. WILL GRAYSON WILL GRAYSON = YAASS.

Sean Lydon: My favorite book is the dark lord of derkholm and a lot of books by the author Diana Wynne Jones and Night Circus as mentioned by Sam.

• Oops, haven't read any of those... I HAVE AN EXTREMELY LONG TBR, OKAY?

Emma Strong-Conklin: This is rough, but out of the books I’ve had the time to read recently, one of my favorites has been We Were Liars by E. Lockhart. Made me cry. Also kind of ruined my life. Didn’t want to move for a week after finishing it. Made me very, very emotional. But it was worth it. It was an amazing book. Rate: 10/10. Would read.

• I really, really, really, want to read that book so much it sounds amazing.

Ariel Johnson: Probably The Distance Between Us, it’s really good and I’ve read it like 4 times!

• I've heard about this book briefly from YouTubers and things, but not too much praise. I'll look into it!

So, those are my friends and their favorite books, unsurprisingly I've read most of them and liked most of them! Definitely check out their blogs also, they're on my blog roll!
