new blog theme, nanowrimo, & stacking the shelves

WOW, what a title! So much to talk about! Today is November 1st (well, unless you like in Australia… then it’s the 2nd. That could be confusing), and so many exciting things are happening this month.

#1: NANOWRIMO! It’s here, guys. I’m already 378 words ahead. (Which isn’t a lot, but ever word counts!) Since I’ll be in Florida for ten days out of this month, I lowered my word count to 30k instead of 50k. Which is 30,000 words in 19 days. Which is 1,578 words a day. (I KNOW! SO EXCITING, RIGHT?!)

#2: I’M GOING ON A CRUISE! Disney cruise. To the East Caribbean. SO MANY FEELS HERE, OKAY??!! It’s going to be so incredible, I just… AHH. I’m so EXCITED I JUST WANT TO TYPE THIS WHOLE POST IN CAPS!!! Of course, I won’t have wifi (and if I do, it will be so slow I probably won’t even bother to check my email), so no posts for a week or so. But I’ll be sure to share my adventure with you all when I get back.

 

#3: NEW BLOG THEME. It happened today. ‘Cause I was bored. And just look at my new header. It’s flawless. I’m so happy with it.

#4: THANKSGIVING. THE HOLIDAYS. SALES. One thing you should know about me: I’m a shopper. If I go into a store, I feel like I have to have everything in it. Thanksgiving happens this month, which brings the holidays and my absolute FAVORITE word in the whole wide world: sale. Clearance. Especially if it’s something cat-related. I’ll buy anything cat-related. Ask my mom. She rolls her eyes, but THEY’RE CATS. They’re just… perfection. I’m going to end up like the E-harmony cat lady.

I’m also linking up with Tynga’s Reviews for Stacking the Shelves, in which I talk about all the books I’ve accumulated in the past week.

I bought these two novellas in one at B&N this morning since it was only nine dollars and I couldn’t resist! I absolutely LOVELOVELOVE the Selection series by Keira Cass, and I’ve been wanting to read the novellas for a while now. I’m loving it so far!

I’ve also been reading The Secret Garden for school this past week. It’s great!

Annnd I’ve been listening to The Tale of Despereaux on audio. It’s such a SWEET book. When I finish it, I’m going to watch a movie. (I think I watched the movie a long time ago, but I don’t really remember it.)

So what exciting things are happening in November for you all? What books have you been reading?

  1. Oh my goodness. That’s so awesome you are going on a Disney cruise! Even though your blog is about Books you should make a teeny exception so you can talk about you trip!
    And,
    OH. MY. GOSH.
    Have you ever seen the cat lady SONG?! It is so funny.

    1. Oh, I definitely will! 🙂

      YES I HAVE. My sister and I walk around singing it all the time. Seriously, it makes me cry laughing every time.

    1. Thanks! Well, my dad helped me with the first theme of my blog. (He’s actually a web designer! Super awesome.) But this time I changed the theme and designed the header myself. I’m not exactly sure I’m totally in love with this theme, though. I may have to get used to it, but if I don’t, I think I’ll go back to my old theme. 🙂

      You do? I DO TOO. Well, so far, anyway!

    1. Thanks! I’m going to need it! And thanks again, haha. No, but I wish I did! I found them on Google, seperate searches, actually. Not sure if they’re by the same artist, but the two pictures look good together! 😀

  2. Congrats on your first day of NaNo!!! 😀 I wrote 3,138 yesterday and about to go get my words in for today! 🙂 I love your header!! It’s so cute!! 😀
    That cat video, though XD It’s hysterical! And the song is hilarious! xD
    Have fun on your cruise!! That sounds amazing!! The Secret Garden is one of my favorite classics. I haven’t read The Tale of Despereaux, but I love the movie. 🙂

    1. WOW that’s a lot! And thank you!

      It really is, though. My whole family’s obsessed.

      I’m sure I will! The Secret Garden is a favorite of mine, too. I can’t wait to re-watch the movie once I finish listening to the book! 🙂
