Book Haul Take Back the Skies by Lucy Saxon Boomerang by Noelle August The Dolls by Kiki Sullivan Magnolia by Kristi Cook Unfixable by Tessa Bailey Hothouse Flower by Becca and Krista Ritchie Hi guys! I went back to school this week, so I didn't squeeze in as much reading as I wanted. I did get some great new books this week that I'm looking forward to reading. First off, I got Take Back the Skies. The concept for the book sounds so cool and also, the author is only 19! I'm always amazed when people so young make such great accomplishments, so I was quick to request a copy. I got Boomerang because THE Veronica Rossi is a co-author! The Dolls was one of my WoW recently, so when I saw it up on EW, I grabbed a copy. I got Magnolia because Nereyda at Mostly YA Obsessed liked it and she and I share similar tastes

  Hey guys! Today, I have something a little different on the blog for you guys. As some of you may already know, I binge-watched the 3 seasons of Veronica Mars last summer over a few weeks. I loved it so much that it upset me when I realized that there was only 3 seasons of the show. So, I was delighted and excited to hear that a movie was being made.  I got around to watching the movie a few days ago and here is my review for it. What I Enjoyed    Source - The return of the trademark Veronica Mars snark. Veronica has always been witty, snarky and sarcastic. I've always loved her attitude, so I was glad to see that that hadn't changed in the movie.      Source - Wallace and Mac - am I the only one who shipped them? Wallace and Mac have both been two of my favorite characters in the TV show. I was pretty much overjoyed with their return in the movie. I was actually shipping them for a moment in the book and was hoping they would wind up being a couple. I also really liked how t
