Life, Lately (04) + Bookish News!

LIFELATELY

It has seriously been forever since I last posted here but life has been craaaaazy. There are days when I’m just seriously exhausted and have no time for anything else, and when I do have time I just feel like I want to eat and sleep and walk the dog (lol)…but seriously, it’s been a tiring couple of weeks.

Plus…well, I’ve also been going through a depressive phase. For a time, there were certain things I felt I had to stop (such as writing books, tbh) because I felt like it was going nowhere. I kind of felt like I wasn’t good enough. That has been playing in my head for a while and it was sad and I thought, maybe, I should stop BUT, you know…life really works in mysterious ways because just when I felt like giving up, a certain email popped up in my inbox that made me realize that sometimes, you really just have to wait, especially if you have done your part (because what would you wait for if you have not done your part, right?) and what you’re waiting for will come. I also remembered this conversation I had with a friend (Hi, Kaye!), about dreams and not giving up on your passion, because really, what would life be like if you’d give up altogether?

Well, going back to the email… it’s not exactly what I wanted, but it’s close. Imagine being one of the chosen ones (HAHA not like Harry but that would be good, too) among many (I know, cryptic, will divulge when I could but not now…). What I’m saying is, maybe this will finally lead me to what I really, really want. Maybe, it’s a test. You’ll know soon, but for now (for a taste of it), do read THIS.

And to know more about that, you can subscribe to my newsletter at: http://ift.tt/1OYdEcM

Another bookish news: you can order a copy of this compilation some of my colleagues and I made. It’s called Project TIMES: Hearts For Sale, and you could order your paperback copy here: bit.ly/HeartsForSale

Anyway, going back to other things, I’ve been walking a lot recently because #ChewytheDog loves the outside world so much lol. Still a cat lady though!

What I’ve been reading

Haven’t been reading so much, too L Except for certain articles here and there, and I’ve only read only 15 books this year (that’s a lot for some but not for me but my ADD’s really getting worse…) Most recent reads are:

  1. Rainbow Rowell – Kindred Spirits
  2. Jojo Moyes – After You
  3. Jessica Love – In Real Life
  4. OJ Simpson – If I did it (THIS MADE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH UGH)

Currently reading Marcia Clark’s Without a Doubt.

What I’ve been watching

  1. American Crime Story: The People vs OJ Simpson. This is so good (and I’m obviously obsessed, if you could tell by what I’ve also been reading recently). It kind of inspires me to do more, do something like that (not KILL OMG but create something as artistic, and as good as that). It’s the kind of show that’s worth watching.
  2. How to Get Away with Murder! STOP TRYING TO MAKE WES-LAUREL HAPPEN IT’S NEVER GONNA HAPPEN. But seriously, still twisted and gooooood
  3. OUAT. IT’S BACK!!! AND DARKER!
  4. Damien. Just started watching this and it’s super creepy! I like how they’re using old The Omen footages though. And I’m really scared of saints (at least the figures), big ones (Ikr it’s weird but they really freak me out) and this show UGH !!!!
  5. Pretty Little Liars. #Spaleb

Also American Idol is really good this season!!!! Grease: LIVE was also amazing! Still watching Supergirl, some Recovery Road, and Tyler: The Hollywood Medium, amongst others lol. Oh, and a lot of Late Late Show with James Corden!

Current Favorite Tunes (aka songs on repeat)

  1. Alex and Sierra – Back to You
  2. Alex and Sierra – I Love You
  3. We the Kings ft Elena Coates – Sad Song
  4. Zayn – Pillowtalk (IKR LOL)
  5. Kelly Clarkson – Piece by Piece (Idol Version)
  6. Fifth Harmony ft Ty Dolla Sign– Work from Home
  7. New Radicals – Get What You Give (old one but I’ve been playing it a lot)
  8. Charlie Puth ft Selena Gomez – We Don’t Talk Anymore
  9. Carly Rae Jepsen – All That
  10. Nick Fradiani – Beautiful Life
  11. The Corrs – I Do What I Like
  12. Seafret – Sinking Ship
  13. Nickel Creek – This Side
  14. Lana del Rey – Freak
  15. Chvrches – Clearest Blue

That’s it for now, I guess…So how’ve you guys been doing?

Because it’s Fall TV Season…Here are my Favorite TV Series!

TVS

So…it’s FALL TV Season again yay! Really excited for the returns of OUAT, How to Get Away with Murder, American Horror Story, New Girl, Keeping up with the Kardashians... and so many other shows! Plus, I’m also excited about Scream Queens, Heroes Reborn, Wicked City, Blood and Oil–the list goes on.

Well, there are just so many amazing shows right now, so i thought, why not share my top 10 Favorite TV Series with you? And ta-daaa, here they are:

1. The OC

This is my first love and always will be. Everything was perfect: the music, the drama, Seth and Summer, Ryan and Marissa…everything! Plus, most of your favorite stars came from this show as guest stars, too! (Lucy Hale, Chris Pratt, Natalie Reed, Paul Wesley, etc).

2. Gossip Girl

An episode or two of this show always, always makes me feel better. I like getting lost in the world of the Upper East Side. Sure, it’s exaggerated and crazy, but hey, that makes it amazing, doesn’t it? YOU KNOW YOU LOVE IT! 

3.  Once Upon A Time

I’m a sucker for fairytales–even the twisted ones! This show is amazing! Oh, and flawless cast is flawless.

4. Glee


Oh,  I’ve met a couple of friends because of this show!  Also, Dianna Agron is loooove.

5. How to Get Away with Murder
VIOLA DAVIS is amazing and so is this rest of the cast! Each episode is just so full of surprises!


6. Pretty Little Liars


Yeah, fine. I still like this show.  Whatever.

7. One Tree Hill

“There’s only one Tree Hill”. ❤ Also, all those quotes and the music!

8. Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23


Ahhh this was soooo good. Def cancelled way ahead of its time.

9. Jane by Design


Why does ABC cancel the good shows, really?

10. Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt


Well, just listen to this song… 

What about you? What are your favorites? What are you excited for?

What I’ve Been Doing + What I’m Looking Forward To (aka #Strangelit, #MIBF2015, and more!)

SEPT

Hello, darlings!!!

So, I haven’t blogged anything in a while (I know, I suck lol) but September’s finally here and it’s looking good so far! I know there’s been a lack of book reviews (forgive me, I’ll post more soon) but I have been reading, and I did enjoy a lot of books, and I promise to squeeze in some reviews again soon.

So, what have I been up to?

Well, there’s work, of course. And after finishing #SparkNA last June, I also joined #StrangeLit, finished my Witchy novella (which has been spending around 5 years in my files already, and which I continued when I saw the opportunity, and which you’ll soon see on Buqo yay!) You can check out the cover HERE and visit its own website HERE.

Aside from that, I am so looking forward to #MIBF2015! So excited because there are so many good releases this year, some Indie Published years ago (and which I’ve read and loved) and are now making their way to the mainstream. Some sequels. Just loads and loads of books.

Some of those I’m excited to see (and buy) are:

Cover (Story) Girl – Chris Mariano

Vintage Love – Agay Llanera

Save the Cake – Stella Torres

Janus Silang 2 – Edgar Calabia Samar

The Kitchen When it Sizzles – Chrissie Peria

Tame the Kitten – Bianca Mori

and so much more (I am ulyanin, sorry)

Also, Buqo’s cooking something up for the MIBF so do watch out for that. Will keep you posted.

Other things I’m looking forward to:

HTGAWM Season 2 – Sept 24

OUAT Season 5 – Sept 27

Blood and Oil – Sept 27 (only because Chace and India)

Wicked City – Oct 27 (ED WESTWICK DUH)

Carry On (Rainbow Rowell) – Oct 2

Career of Evil (Robert Galbraith) – Oct 22

Harry Potter Illustrated Edition

Demi’s new album
