The Month of November and Sweaters | A Wrap-Up

Guys, I am so sorry I uploaded this late!! I've been going insane with my schedule- two jobs, my dog, scholarships and math- are murdering my brain!

This past month it finally started getting colder where I am (weird that October wasn't cold, but okay), and now I'm overly excited for Winter! Or as I call it, the Happy Season!

So here's my wrap-up for the month of November and Sweaters!
 P.S. My wrap-ups are going to be different from now on because I don't have time to set up links for all my friend's blogs and blog posts :( 




~ What did I read this past month? ~

I had a fairly good reading month in November, but I still didn't finish what I had wanted to :(
But here's the loot!

~ How's my YouTube Channel? ~

Aside from forgetting to record videos a few times or unable to update for awhile- my YouTube is going pretty good *nervous laughter*.

But here's the videos I did in November!!


 BookTube Watching Book Tag

 30 Seconds to Guess That Book! | Guest Video!

 Netflix Book Tag

 Currently Reading + Daughter of the Pirate King (and others!)


I had a friend do a video with me in the 30 Seconds to Guess That Book video, we got to play an interesting game we made up!



~Book Hauls, TBRs, & Recipes ~

So I'm going to do something I do rarely- give a TBR! Not today- but in a different post soon! It'll be my December TBR!!

I also got quite a lot of books in November, but I don't have time to list them all here... but I'll do a YouTube video about them and give you guys the link!

And then, of course, I baked some goodies for Thanksgiving!! (Btw, how were you guys turkey day??)


 Dutch Apple Pie
(If you add crumbled graham cracker crumbs to the crumbled top before baking- it makes it even better!!)

Pumpkin Spice Bundt Cake

 Copycat Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


And that was a overall of my November!

I'm so sorry I couldn't give links to my fellow blogger's blogs and posts this month, but I'm finding a hard time doing anything lately :( 
I'll do a separate blog post soon if I can get around to it!


Happy Holidays!!

    It was definitely good, but I would suggest not letting the hype get to you. That's why I waited longer to read it, I didn't want to have too high expectations. But it turned out great!

    *hugs* I understand where you're coming from! Two jobs is hard enough when you have other things on top of of as well. Hopefully you'll find a good balance soon! 😊

Library Love | 1st Post

Hi guys, so my friend Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? did a post that I thought was really cool and I would want to start doing. Basically whenever I go to the library, I share in a blog post what I got and hope to read! I think this is meant to be like once every two or three weeks, but I actually only get to go to my library probably once a month... SO.... yeah haha.

Scythe by Neal Shusterman | Review + Q & A

Hello lovely peoples! I have a book review to share with you, and at the bottom (after the review) will be a little Q & A section. Because my friend Desara also nominated me for the Sunshine Blogger Award, and I feel bad about not answering her questions- because I'd already done the tag when my friend Tessa nominated me. (That was a mouthfull, Lol.) So book review first! *         *         *        *         *   Scythe by Neal Shusterman!! Synopsis: Thou shalt kill.

Now scythes are the only ones who can end life—and they are commanded to do so, in order to keep the size of the population under control. Citra and Rowan are chosen to apprentice to a scythe—a role that neither wants. These teens must master the “art” of taking life, knowing that the consequ...
