2013 was good. 2013 was okay.

what will 2014 be like?

first of all, I want to;

+ become a better blogger.
+ write more. 
+ be happier.
+ write... write... write.
+ post pictures of my drawings.
+ maybe even take an art class???

I hope to write a complete book this year, even if it's not edited. I just want to accomplish something with writing.

now, since the new year is here... I'm hoping to get another new blog design. maybe learn a few designing tricks myself? and also; that means I have to remove the "2013 reading list off my sidebar". *sniffles* I'll miss that list. I read some amazing books this year. 

I read "Crewel" and "Altered" by Gennifer Albin. Now I gotta wait for the third book to come out. >.<

 I read "The Host" by Stephenie Meyer. <-- ugh, I loved that book. <3


I read The "Matched" trilogy, and the Beautiful Creatures series. 


I read "The Selection" and "The Elite" by Kiera Cass. Ah, I can't wait for "The One". 

 I read "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green. <-- one of my all time favorites. 


I reread "Insurgent" and read "Allegiant". 


I read "Eleanor & Park" by Rainbow Rowell. 
I got it for Christmas and finished it in less than 48 hours... that's how good it was. O-O


And last but not least, I just finished reading "My Life Next Door" by Huntley Fitzpatrick. 

So I've read about 17 books this year. Not including Rosie's. ;)

Now in 2014 I will be reading...


"Mortal Instruments: City of Bones" and "Looking For Alaska". 


What are your 2014 plans?

what did you like most about 2013?

Comment some book recommendations for me. :)

Hope you all have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!


^^ thought my blog could use some fireworks. ;)

May the new year be ever in your favor.

        Thank you Molly! I know, it's going to be weird writing the date now. O.o
        WOOOOHOOO, way to go Molly! I sorta had a goal this year to read 50 books, but I'm rather a slow reader so I'm pretty proud of what I did read. :)
