Finally I have some spare time tonight to do some random things and just relax. Work wise, this week has been pretty busy. Also, I just followed my own blog... is that weird? Haha. Here are some random updates :)
My camera charger finally arrived! It made it here a few days ago, I charged up my battery and everything seems to be working fine. The package came with an extra battery, a car adapter for the charger, a camera case, and a strap. All that for 20 dollars when the photography store wanted 60 dollars just for a charger... crazy!
The left is a terrible photo of my new triple forward helix piercing... All three were done at once. I snapped the picture fresh out of the shop, so pardon my red ear and crappy face, haha. Right now I just have the basic jewelry in, but my piercer placed a custom order from Anatometal for me today, so pretty soon I will have three lovely gems in there instead of bland metalness. I already have a barbell from Anatometal in my other ear... hence the image on the right. It's blurple anodized titanium with two lavender brilliant-cut stones and one cubic zirconia princess-cut stone in the middle.
THESE BOOKS!!!! I originally read these in my mid-teens and loved them. Unfortunately I had to move around a bit when I was an older teen because of some unforeseen family circumstances, and my hard copies of these novels (along with a lot of other things) got lost in the chaos. Recently I decided to reread them and bought them for my ereader. I am so glad I did. I forgot how good these were. The world Libba Bray creates in these books, both the real world and a place called The Realms, are flawless. It is based in the 1800. I don't want to give too much away... but if you are interested in 19th century England, suspense, and lots of magic and deceit, you should look into this trilogy! Mind you, they are "teen reads", but at (almost) 23 years old I am reading and enjoying them nonetheless. They're not my favorite novels EVER, but definitely my favorite novels ever that are based for a younger audience. Not to mention I am admittedly the type of person that does judge books by their covers, and aren't these covers totally ravishing? Even if I hadn't heard of the titles before, they would still catch my attention today.
What books are you guys reading? What's your favorite novel/series? Once I finish this trilogy I'll be in the market for something new, so I'd love to hear what you've liked!

Well, I'm off to work on this Liebster Award that Breakfast on Mars tagged me in! I was trying to come up with the 11 facts earlier but it is actually very difficult for me, haha. I hope you guys are having a great week! Thanks for reading :)
Neat piercing! I've usually don't read fiction but I got hooked on Game of Thrones so I've been reading that this summer and I'm on the last (5th) book right now.
ReplyDeleteI've heard SO much about the Game of Thrones series! I have a friend who has offered to lend me the books, so I think I might take them up on that offer once I finish the book I'm on now. I can't resist all the hype, plus I am a sucker for Fantasy
