October Book Haul

Dystopia, thrillers and John Green! Oh my! I have so many amazing books to share that are going to fill the coming chilly days of fall. And these books were all bought over a period of time so no, I do not have a problem....maybe...probably...

Anyways, back on topic. Lately all I have been reading have been YA dystopian. Books that deal with the apocalypse, end of the world, disaster type scenarios. I blame Suzanne Collins. Once I read the Hunger Games trilogy, those were the only type of books I wanted to read. But I eventually crashed from this "book high" and for a long time couldn't pick up any book and read more than 1 chapter, which is extremely unusual for me. Like seriously, I thought I was mentally ill or something and not in the usual way I am. So I decided to add some new genres into the mix. 

Mystery and Thrillers

My first books, like actual big kid books with chapters, that I ever read in school were mystery books. Nancy Drew, The Boxcar Children. I think you get the picture. So I found these two books to help cure my book hangover. I think everyone has heard of Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. It's being made into a movie and that so I figured I would give it a try, even though most people have said it has a disappointing ending. But being in many different fandoms, I've learned to deal with disappointment. I mean, come on. I'm a part of the Sherlock fandom for crying out loud. Don't even get me started on disappointing endings or emotional damage....off track again. 

The Cellar by Natasha Preston immediately drew me in. The name alone is creepy (fun fact: I love almost anything and everything creepy) but the ominous dark colors mixed with the bright hue of the Lilly on the cover sold me. Yes I know. Never judge a book by its cover. But presentation is everything. And the story itself also pulled me in. If you want to know more about it, Google it. I don't want to give anything up about the story. I'm almost all done with it because I just can't seem to out it down! 

John Green (He changed OTP, from one true pairing, to Oh the pain!)

Oh John Green. The amazing, yet soul ripping author who brought us the tear filled love story of Hazel Grace Lancaster and Augustus Waters. No book haul would be complete without at least one John Green book.  And this month I have two! Now I have no clue what on earth made me think this was a good idea. The first John Green book I ever read, The Fault in Our Stars, left me not only emotionally drained, but also physically drained. Why? Oh, you know, just me convulsing in a little puddle of tears in my bed at 2 in the morning. It's enough to tire anyone out. That being said, it was one of the most amazing, soul wrenching books I have ever read. It's one of those books that stays with you for a lifetime. Because John Green gave us "forever within the numbered days". (See what I did there) I am extremely excited to dive back into the world that consists of John Green books, even if it kills me in the process. 

Dystopia/Sci-fy

Yes I know what you are thinking. I just went on and on about how I was tired of reading just dystopian books. But I couldn't resist. They were just calling me from the shelves of Target (You know Target. That black hole where you lose all track of time and walk out with everything you don't really need and a seriously depleted bank account) These are two books that always keep coming back to me. I got the chance to read them in school on multiple occasions, before I became a sci-fy/dystopia nut, but always passed them up. And I was always disappointed that I hadn't picked them. So I finally gave in and bought them. Also because they were both just made into movies, and I absolutely refuse to watch a movie before I have read any and all books that said movies have been based off. Because then I can sit in the theatre or on my couch and judge those who decided to change things that really shouldn't have been changed or even thought of being changed in the first place. And I've read a lot of posts about how much The Maze Runner was changed. Extremely changed. That's right. I'll just sit here and begin my silent judgment of screenwriters. Thank you for butchering my many worlds that I escape to when reality become too much or too dull. 

That's all for my October book haul! If you made it to the end of this, thank you for listening to my ramblings about all things literary. Or maybe you just skipped to the end. In that case, thanks for at least looking at my pictures! Hopefully you enjoyed this! But to be honest, even if you didn't, I'm still going to keep posting so...yea. Ok I'm gonna go now. :) Aurora 

Why Whovians are amazing... Why Disney whovians are even better!

Hello world, Melody here! Just incase you missed our bio my bestie and I have absolutely no shame when it comes to fangirling(or general freaking out) of any kind. So this short story will kind of help you to get a sense of our crazy and if you have had any similar experiences we would love to hear them. So let's get this party started!

Back in March we visited Disneyland together for the first time and, even though we had both been there several times over our life time, I decided to walk Miss Aurora to the point of exhaustion. Before the exhaustion had set in completely we spent a day in Disneys California Adventure park. So I got everyone up an hour to early(oops, I guess i really should have read the tickets better... Or the website.... Or the print out of the schedule, but hey can you blame me its Disneyland for goodness sake!)and we made our way down to the gaits to await our glorious day of awesomeness!

Before we left we decided that one day we would wear our Doctor Who shirts into the park, and may I just say that if you ever have the opertunity to do this we highly recommend it and you will see why in a minute. We started our day off in Cars Land whith the all the new rides and such and while my mom(yes my mother) was in line to get her picture taken with Mator we met our first Whovian. He was one of the "handlers" for Mator and he came over and started talking to me about how his(awesome) TARDIS watch matched my TARDIS tee shirt and the Aurora came over and we talked about favorite doctors and favorite episodes and it was great but he did have to get back to work so we carried on with our day.

Throughout the day we met 6 other super fans such as our selfs and were feeling pretty great. Toward evening we decided to go on the Tower of Terror again so, ya know the drill, went through the line. We got to the point where you get put into rows and the guy working the ride looked at my shirt and made a quote from Doctor Who. Me and my amigo start giggling like idiots and the plastics behind us read my shirt, because for once they weren't getting attention from the cute ride operator, and make the comment *read in valley girl voice* "I don't know what that is!". At this exact moment a dude in a Stetson walks by(not even kidding!) and the RO(ride operator) says the famous quote, "Stetsons are cool" and continues with his safety speech. He went on to make reference to bow ties, the wibbly wobbly timey wimey quote as well as many others keeping this up for several minutes. Now for the best part, as the doors to the ride are closing he looks directly at the two of us and does the quote from Blink! You know the one, "most importantly don't blink, don't even blink! Blink and you're dead!". Boom! Doors close rides great we yell "Geronimo!" As we drop and our lives our complete. He even squeezed in one more quote before we got off the ride!

Needless to say we giggled for HOURS after and still talk about it to this day. I mean this guy works the Tower of Terror at California Adventure and took the time to quote 12-14 Doctor Who lines just for 2 girls. Disney Whovians are the best in my openion and this will stick with us our whole lives.

Thanks for listing to me ramble keep it nerdy- Mel👾
