Wow! This is my second award nomination this month!! Thank you so much Cecil! You should definitely go check her blog out its amazing! It's strange when I first started this blog, it was strictly a book blog, no outfits, advice, nothing but books. But somewhere along my blogging journey I realized that as much as I love book blogging, I should be open to doing other things. I shouldn't put a limit on myself, and I don't want to. So then I did advice posts, then came some OOTD posts, and this month I've done a lot of non book posts and it's been really fun. Its really awesome that other people like my other posts as much as my regular book posts.

Rules:

1.    Show the award on your blog.

2.    Thank the person who nominated you.

3.    Share 7 facts about yourself.

4.    Nominate 15 blogs.

5.    Link your nominees’ blogs and let them know.

Seven facts about your truly:

1. I have an unhealthy obsession with The Blacklist. I finished the entire season in less than 4 days all put together. 
2. I've met lots of authors. I've met Cassandra Clare twice, I've met Melissa De La Cruz twice, I've met John Green, I've met Stephen Chbosky, I've met Richelle Mead and a few others.
3. I'm terrified of driving. I'm 16 and i've driven a grand total of 5 times. For some reason it's scary to me. I mean what if I crash the car, hit a mailbox, or worse kill a squirrel.
4. My go to outfit is a skirt and a sweater. I can't help it. It looks so cute and it's soo comfortable!
5. I've been listening to Willamette Stone for the past 5 weeks. They're the fictional band from If i Stay, and they only have 6 songs, but I swear i'm addicted. My favorites are "Heart Like Mine" and "I Want What You Have"
6. I have one older sister, an older brother and a younger brother, making me the middle child! 
7. When it gets cold enough I love wearing scarves. Its really bad. Among my friends i'm known for my scarves and sweaters.

Blogtober: TBR Friday

I usually hate making TBR lists because I like reading what I want when I want to. But for some reason I made myself a list of things to read. I'm actually really excited about my TBR pile. Usually i'm not because it makes reading, something I love, feel more like homework. But I have a lot of awesome books waiting for me and I can't wait to read them!

1. Queen Of Someday by Sherry D Ficklin I'm actually reading this already and I'm so in love with it. I love the characters and the way the stories set up. And the Romance is on point!!

2.  The 100 by Kass Morgan. I have to say, I love the CW show. I didn't even know this book existed so I have the show to thank! I wasn't sure about reading this book because of the show, but I figured that if I love the show, i'd love the book even more!

3. Melt by Selene Castrovilla. I've been loving all the storybook retellings. What caught my eye with this one was the twist and eerie feel. I'm excited to see where this story goes and how it's executed

4. Suspicion by Alexandra Monir. It's described as "A contemporary DOWNTON ABBEY that has a dash of the supernatural, a hot and heavy romance and a deadly family mystery.". How can I not read this?! It's perfect for me! 

Well there's my TBR so far! It's pretty short. Short and sweet. Perfect for me. Enough of a list to give me some sense of organization but short enough that it doesn't feel like homework. So what are you guys planning on reading? What other books do you recommend for me? Have any TBR posts? link them in the comments.

DFTBA,

Blogtober: Mixtape Monday

Hey people of the internet! Its Monday. Probably one of the worst days of the week. Why not listen to some music, make Monday a little less suck-y. This isn't my official Fall Playlist, but it's my Try Not To Hate Monday's Playlist.

Polk-a-Dot Autumn

My dog, Ruby, photobombing this last picture :)

For the first time in a really long time, it wasn't unbelievably hot here in SoCal. I took advantage of this slightly chillier weather (at least for a California girl) and wore my knit tights. I love fall and winter. They're my seasons. I love wearing sweaters, layering, and wearing a lot beanies. Granted it wasn't a real "fall" day, but it  was enough to get me excited for sweater weather! 

So tell me, what trends are you excited for this fall? Are you a cold weather person? Let me know
