The Swinter Of Winter

The Swinter Of Winter- Jan. 2015

I don’t care if Swinter is not a word to the dictionary, it is a word to me and it sounds funny as shit.

It is a new year. And let's talk books, bitches.

We have got to get these books finished. If you are like me, you have over thirty book ideas and thirty Word Documents to prove it. In fact I just got another one.

We have to find a book  that we are writing and focus on that.  I know it is hard, trust me I know, but  one book needs to be finished by the time next winter comes back around.

With the new year we have the book  challenge we all put on ourselves. Trying to read thirty books throughout the year. And we have a lot of new releases coming up.

The book I will be mentioning are my personal favorite’s

Cruel Crown By: Victoria Aveyard- a prologue to Red Queen. That was released on January 5.

Glass Sword By: Victoria Aveyard- the sequel to Red Queen will be released on Feb. 9th. I would give you more, but I haven’t reviewed Red Queen, I am reading it now though. I will definately be getting this book.

The Shadow Queen By: C. J. Redwine- I honestly am so hyped about this book. And this cover though!  This twist on snow white will have you begging for more. I personally do not like the story of snow white, but I am so excited about getting my hands on this book. Feb. 16

Reign of Shadows By:  Sophia Jordan- This cover has me crying. I really want this book. I found it wayyyy back when QOS (if you don’t know what this means, leave my page) came out. This book just says Rapunzel to me. Feb. 9.

Why are all these books about corrupted kingdoms…?

Anyways! Sarah J Maas update her next releases are in May and September.

Now we get to the fun stuff. We all want to know what basic ass tumblr drink to get on the snowy days.

From panera I would suggest their hot chocolate.  They put cookie dough and caramel in it to give give you warmth and a sugar rush.

I also recommend the Gingerbread Latte from starbucks, along with the Gingerbread Frap. They both scream the holiday!

The next is the Caramel brulee Latte and iced Coffee. This one of my favorites. The Iced coffee taste smack like Cocoa Puffs!

To bring back the holiday cheer try the Peppermint Mocha. The minty flavor will make you filled like Christmas.  

Now that we have drinks to sweeten our taste buds let's talk books again. Guys and girls we need to finish these books. Here are my tips to finish writing and reading:

• Read right after school or work, give yourself thirty minutes to relax. If not right after, right before bed. In my case that keeps me up (she types with bags under eyes)
• Read during the week and write on the weekend. Or maybe switch it around. I get my best ideas when I am supposed to be working, but my body wants to procrastinate.
• Promise to write a chapter or page a day.
• Make the Date! Set up date for when you want certain parts of your book done. That can go with reading too. Set up when you want to read.
• Mark the books you plan on reading. Know what books you want to be main and finished, and what will be a between book
• Read when you want to, not when you feel like you have to.
• Read in a comfortable and warm environment

Try these. i am trying to reach a goal of thirty books this year, and these are the steps I plan on using.

Let’s see how many places we get to go this year.

The Fall Of It All

Fall Has Begun

I know you think Halloween  and Turkey,

but  fall is about so much more.

Specifically the booking of it all.

These are fall teas, books, and more, that are just perfect for the season

Reading in the fall is amazing. It gets to be so cozy. I mean it’s sweater weather, the best time of the years. I mean wearing the  stupidest/ cutest sweaters in the world, what could go wrong?

Not only that, but sweaters, books, tea, and a tree with falling leaves… calling all tumblr girls, this is  THE picture season.

I want to start with Teas

My favorite brand is Bigelow.

The teas I am listing have their own  big natural flavor, so you don’t need a lost of sugar, unless you have a huge sweet tooth.

Lemon Lift: This one is lemon and spice. It’s not sour. The mixtures have a unique flavor.

English Tea Time: It is so relaxing, it says on the package: “perfect for anytime of day”. They were not lying

“Constant Comment”:  this has an Orange and spice flavor.  Any bold floors are good, and this is blod.

Plantation Mint: It has such a strong flavor, it is to die for *please don’t kill yourselfs*

Strong flavors go great with this season. Big changes, big taste, as I said… only once, this being the once.

NOW BOOKS!

The Queen Of Shadows: written by bae- I mean Sarah J Maas. First ,this just came out. There is never a dull moment with this women.  The feels are un-reals...lol...no...okay.  This is me and Taylor’ current read. I am so legit about this book, I haven't been in tumblr in a month, so I won't get spoiled.

The Young Elites(1)& The Rose Society(2):  Written by Marie Lu. I plan on reading  these. Both covers have an appeal. And strong female lead. The Young Elites is out .The Rose Society comes out Oct. 13  and I know there are feels in these books… from my sources.

Snow like  Ashes(1) & Ice like Fire(2):  Written by Sara Raasch. These are beautiful covers, and poetic names. The second book comes out  Oct. 13

Legacy of Kings: Written by Eleanor Herman. I have been avoiding this book in Barnes and Noble, because well I’m broke, but my mind is screaming “Gimme!”

A Thousand Nights: Written by E.K.  Johnston. This is such a trip back in the past, and magic… dark magic. And evil kings. I mean… yes.

The Shadow Society: Written by Marie Rutkoski. abandoned child, shadow world. Betrayal. I mean there are only seven left on Amazon, the bitch must be good.

The Jewel: Written by Amy Ewing. A girl. This dystopia involves love and pain, And a little affair with the rich and the poor.

Of Beast and Beauty: Written by Stacey Jay.  Literally screams: What is inside does matters what's outside shouldn’t.  It a Beauty and the Beast retelling,  I can’t wait to read.

Stitching  Snow: Written by R.C. Lewis. Another little retelling of  Snow white. I mean she’s not my favorite princess, but she is about to be one of my favorite badasses.

I promise I will make sure to write my thoughts on these books when  I  finish!

This seasons  bonus:  best places to read is

>Barnes & Nobles

>Starbucks

>Library

>Under a tree

>On the Couch: with a blankie

That is the Fall of it All...
