Hey guys new book for you! This one is about a very serious topic, but it was a great novel! It is "It's Kind of a Funny Story" by Ned Vizzini. I have had this book on my radar for a long time. Its been one ive been anticipating to read and i was right. This book was so easy to get into by day 1 i was already 100 or so pages in.

This book is about a depressed boy named Craig and he decides he wants to die. Therefore, he decides to call a suicide hotline and they tell him to enter himself in a hospital. So he does. Thats where the rest of the story takes place.

Its a very touching story with good characters and good lessons about life. It honestly opened my eyes to that depressed situation and how hard it must be. Especially for the main character, Craig. He is 15 and just entered high school, which i can tell you from experience, is very stressful and can easily lead into depression.

However, no matter what this story is about i recommend again and again. Its a great story about overcoming and accepting your hardships and living your life on your own terms and not anyone elses.

FAV CHARACTER: Honestly this book had so many. I loved Noelle, she didnt care what people thought and talked to others without judgement and i admired that.

Fav Quotes: "Its so hard to talk when you want to kill yourself"

"The stuff adults tell you not to do is the easiest."

"I'm young, but im already screwing up my life."

"I'm done with those; regrets are an excuse for people who have failed."

"Everybody has problems. Some people just hide their crap better than others."

"Because i wasnt capable of dealing with the real world."

Hey guys a new book review is coming right now and this one guys is a good one, trust me. It is "Me Before You" by Jojo Moyes. I first heard of this book through the movie trailer actually. It was playing on tv and i instantly was drawn in because it has the actor who plays Finnick in the hunger games and he is attractive, if i do say so myself. ANYWAY, to the actual book.

I saw that the movie is coming out June 3 soooo i OF COURSE had to read the book before i see the movie so i swung by my local barnes and noble and picked it up! It is so good let me just state that fact. However, it is a very emotional book as well, it makes you feel different things throughout the whole story.

It basically is about a boy named Will Traynor who has been paralyzed arms down and is in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. Therefore, he needs 24/7 care so Lousia, who losses her job, finds this and becomes his caregiver. At first Will is sassy and quiet and a tad rude and Lou is just trying to make money and be nice and as respectful as possible. However, the story obviously gets better and their relationship just blossoms into something special and beautiful.

I recommend this book to literally all of you. Even though it may at times become sad and tough subjects may pop up it doesnt make it any less enjoyable, its what makes it a good story.

FAVORITE CHARACTER: IM SO TORN. I love Will cause he reminds me with his attitude which i love cause sarcasm is my favorite and i enjoy using it a lot. Also i can feel his pain throughout the book and i root for him. However, i also love Lousia. She is just so cute and nice and the way the book describes her style is just so adorable. I love how she never gives up ever, its admirable.

Favorite Quote: " I always think this is the kind of place that people come back to. When they've become tired of everything else."

" Its quite hard to stay calm and understanding when you see the same faces, the same mistakes made again and again."

" I needed to tell him, silently, that things might change, grow, or fail, but life did go on."

" Clark, every single place i go to now people look at me like i dont belong."

" You only get one life. Its actually your duty to live it as fully as possible."

" I was pretty reluctant as first but it does help to know youre not alone out there."

" Sometimes, Clark, you are pretty much the only thing that makes me want to get up in the morning."

" I dont want you to miss out on all the things someone else could give to you."

Hey everyone i have another book for you! This one is a funny, light-hearted, amazing book from one of my favorite youtubers, Grace Helbig. It is her second novel called "Grace and Style: The Art of Pretending You Have It." The title oozes hilarity.

The book is a style guide or what grace thinks style is, which in my opinion is better than what it actually is. Grace is one of my favorite people in the world. She is hilarious, beautiful, and amazing. I honestly could watch her videos over and over again without getting sick of them.

Grace is so creative in this book. I thought her diary entries in the perspective of sweatpants was PURE GENIUS. Also i loved the story that sweatpants was in it was so clever and funny. And i appreciate all the clever puns she included in that story as well.

Grace is just a brilliant writer in whatever she writes. Both of her books give me a laugh and thats all a girl could ask for. This book wasnt very quotable so i dont have any favorite quotes but you NEED this book in your life. Itll make you smile and it may teach you a thing or two about fashion.

Thanks Grace for your wonderful novel and instilling your intelligence of style on us.
By the way i reacted to this book on youtube heres the link: CLICK HERE
AND SHE FAVED A PIC OF ME ON TWITTER WITH THE BOOK... IM COOL.

Hello fellow bookies! I finished a book a couple of weeks ago actually I just haven't had a lot of time to sit down and write a post about it. However, now I have time to sit down and explain to you how good this book was!

It was the sequel to "Girl Online" by Zoey Sugg. The title is "Girl Online: On Tour" and it was really good! It tied up loose ends that the first novel leaves. However, the ending was mediocre. It kinda left me hangin in exactly how the relationship continues. Although, it does that to me and pierces my heart it was a really good book. Also its super easy to read and quick too!

I would suggest, however, for you to read the first book before this one or you may be very confused. You wouldnt know anything about the story and that may be confusing. Actually very confusing.

Sorry this post was so short i promise to try to go into more detail next book. Anyway heres my fav quotes and character!

FAVORITE CHARACTER: I still love the best friend they call wiki. He knows whats up and he is super sweet, someone i totally would be friends with in real life.

Favorite quotes: " --but i dont think you should let your choices worry too much. Youre allowed to not know what you want to do yet."

" You need to aim higher than you think youre capable of."

" I dont think i like to imagine my love as a lock. Instead, i prefer to think of it as being like the bridge were standing on-- something that connects two hearts together that otherwise would never meet."

Why Ive Been Missing..

Hey guys its me. I know i havent been writing as frequently as i used to, but my life has kinda taken a turn in the last couple of months. I dont really know how to say it to you but here goes nothing:

I have Hodgkins Cancer. That my friends is the reason i have not had time to update you on my favorites or share the wonder of a new book. I have been as you can maybe guess a little busy. I was diagnosed on January 28th so ive known for awhile and am currently in the 3rd cycle of 5 treatments.

Im not going to go into details on everything because its like rehashing harsh memories, which is incredibly depressing. Because i would say im on the ride up now rather than a spiral of misery like back in February. However, if you are interested in 'my story' then you can go to this website where my family is constantly updating on what is happening :) http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/teamhaley

Anyway, to make this post less sad and make it happy i will say everyday im getting stronger and HEY IM KILLING CANCER! I think that is something to stay positive about for sure. I believe everything will be okay in the end and if its not okay then its not the end :)
So now that you know why ive been missing i will say i still dont know how often ill be able to post on my blog with all my appointments and such. I promise i will not forget about you guys and i will try my hardest to blog every now and again but for now this is it :) I will be back dont fret my little amigos i will never forget yall.

Now enjoy these lovely pics of me with no hair xoxo - idontknow

February favorites

IM SO SORRY I HAVENT POSTED IN A MONTH. I FEEL LIKE A TERRIBLE BLOGGER!!!! I hope every single one of you can forgive this poor gal! Even though March has already been a few days I still want to tell you what I loved last month.

Favorite book: I haven't had much time to read. I've been too busy focusing on other things. So far the first half of the book I've been reading is pretty darn good. So as I continue to read the book and finish it up, I will update you all on how it turned out.

Favorite event: This month I haven't done much. But friends have visited my home and made me feel like im still human. I appreciate them with all my heart and soul. Thanks everyone!

Favorite song: SPOTIFY YOU GUYS. Check mine out that's where all my music is coming from. I have no specific song or artist this month just a cool music website that everyone should check out. its free come on guys.

Favorite Clothing item: I've been into hats recently. My favorite one this month has been "love your melon" hat. Its orange and big and so comfortable. It def wins my heart this month. 

Favorite scent: no new scents have traveled up my nose recently. So sorry on this one guys no new candles to let you in on. My blogging skills are lacking hard core this month.

Favorite random item: My family. I know they aren't technically items but they are a favorite. They have just been such a great support this past month that I have to give them credit where credit is due. Love you all you goofy goobers. 

Favorite movies/TV shows: CINDERELLA REMAKE. It was so good you guys. it honestly was very good and such a classic. I loved it and I think you should all take the time to sit down and watch it. ALSO the new Netflix original Fuller House. So lighthearted and funny. Makes me miss the old show just as much.

Favorite writing piece:
I refuse to say the word. 
The word that caused my life to come crashing down. 
The word that flipped my world upside down. 
The word that gives me nightmares and the word that seems to always be in the back of my mind. 
I refuse to say the word. 
Because I know if I do, the word becomes reality. 

Sorry this months favorites were slacking, hopefully march is better. I love you all and hope march is going swell so far. Happy almost spring! - idontknow

January Favorites!

Hey guys sorry this favorites post is so late a lot has happened in my life... Im not sure im not ready to tell my full story to the internet but im not gonna quit blogging so i am here to do my favorites!
Cant believe its already the second month of 2016 aint that just a crazy thang?! Anyway heres my monthly favorites:

Favorite Event: January was kinda boring. However, my school has this senior retreat that the seniors go on during the year. I got to go this month and i connected to so many new people. It was such an amazing experience that made me grow closer to people and have my eyes open to new perspectives on people.

Favorite Clothing Item: My new flannel that I bought. I bought it in the mens section because why not. Its so comfy and so big and adorable even if it was made for a 18 year old male.

Favorite Scent: Honestly, this month I haven't had much time to burn any candles. However, my friend just bought me a vanilla bean candle which I already know Is a fav just by sticking my nose in it. It smells like complete heaven, its my all time favorite smell.

Favorite Song: SPOTIFY IS THE SHIT END OF STORY. Therefore, it is hard to pick one song so if you are curious as to what im listening to my Spotify is haleyisfearless. I have been loving the song stone cold by demi though, It has so much passion and I love love love the lyrics.

Favorite Book: GUYs I suck. I only read one book this entire month which is dumb since this blog is a book nerds dream. However, just because I only finished one doesn't mean it wasn't a fav. "Dear Killer" was a fantastic book that I still recommend if you are in the market for a good read.

Favorite random item: I HAVE N0 CLUE. I usually have this category picked out and ready to express my love for but I don't this month. If anything im picking my family cause they rock my socks and are so supportive of me in everyway.

Favorite Movie/tv show: no new movies this month, but I began to watch the new season (#4) of New Girl and im obsessed. That show is everything, it is funny, happy, amazing and even more. Also it is so easy to get addicted to and binge watch because episodes are only like 20 minutes long. Sad I am almost finished and ill have to wait again for season 5 but the awesome thing about New Girl is it never gets old. Ill rewatch it 80 more times.

Favorite Writing piece: I haven't had much time to write at all and I know I keep saying this about everything but its true. However, I dug around some and I decided on this one, enjoy:

"Nostalgia is defined as a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past.
It comes to me every so often.
However, without a thought of you.
It brings me joy that maybe ive begun to forget the things we shared together.
And enjoy the things I experience as if you were never there."

HEY NOW HAPPY FEBUARAY AND WHO GIVES TWO HOOTS ABOUT VDAY. I LOVE YOU AND THATS SOMETHING. Have a beautiful February my lovely ladies and generous gents. Eat lots of chocolate andhave lots of fun. 2016 is the best year remember? MAKE THAT HAPPEN! I love you all xoxoxo - idontknow
