Why I'm waiting on The Afterlife of Holly Chase this Wednesday: This book sounds so interesting and like the perfect holiday read! While it comes out soon (next week!!) I'll probably save it until around Christmas time when the story seems to take place. Also, the cover is GORGEOUS! I'm really enjoying this book cover trend where they have the black background with minimalist design.

What are you waiting on this Wednesday? Are you looking forward to this book? Do you think you'll read it when it comes out or wait for the holidays? Let me know in the comments below and leave me a link to your posts!

My Christmas Book List

Oh my goodness, it has been a while. Let me tell you, I have been SO busy this past month, I'm still in recovery from it.

As many of you probably know, I started my first year of college this past September. I was totally terrified and super excited and I'm happy to report back that I survived! I actually love college a lot. It was a fun and unique experience, made all the better by the fact that I moved to a completely different state. While that might not seem like it would make it better (and trust me, there was many homesick nights in the beginning), it forced me to stand on my own a bit and grab a bit of independence.

Needless to say, it was awesome.

However, this past month, I have been dealing with .... finals.

Yes, I know. It's almost too horrible a word to post online. But they are the reason for my absence. While I love my blog and love being able to talk about all these amazing books with you guys, school comes first.

Happily, finals are over, grades are in, and I am enjoying a well deserved break with my family. With that lovely piece of news, I'm excited to also report that blogging will begin to pick back up again. I have more free time to be online and to read now (thank goodness) and I'm excited to jump back into this!

I figured the best way to do that would be to share with you my Christmas list! Which should honestly just be called my book list because that's basically all it is :) I'm sure you guys can relate!
