Book Tag [1]

This tag was originally created by The Artsy Reader Girl.
I was tagged by the lovely Sweet Book Reviews

The Rules

1. You must post the rules.
2. Answer the questions the tagger set for you in their post and then create 10 new questions to ask the people that you have tagged.
3. Tag 11 people and link to them on your post.
4. Let them know you've tagged them!

 Lets get on with the good stuff- The Questions:

1. Why did you decide to start a blogging channel? 
          Simply for the fact that if I didn't feel up to making a video or I didn't have much to say about a specific book, I could just write up a post about it and get what I need to say out!

2. What post are you most proud of? 
          The post I'm most proud of has to be my Post-Apocalyptic TV Show post because it took me FOREVER to write up and get it just how I want it.  

3. Since you've created your blog, has anything new happened in your life because of it? Eg. More friends, you get sent books for free ect. 
          Meeting some new and interesting people. And finding out about some awesome new books.

4. Did you ever feel like giving up on your blog at one stage?
           No, not exactly "giving up", but more so, just taking a break. There are times when blogging was just something that I put to the side for a bit. I don't think that I could ever give this up, but taking a break now and then is good for me.

5. Do you prefer to vlog or blog about books?
           It depends on the book and the type of mood that I'm in. Sometimes if don't feel up to making a video about a book, but I still want to talk about it, then a post will be written. If it was a book that I absolutely loved then I will make a video for it, and also a blog post. If it was a book that I liked enough, but don't really have that much to say about the book then I might just write up a post about it. So as I said before, it pretty much depends on these things. 

6. Which character from a book would be your best friend?  
          Ah!! This is a tough one. I think I would choose Clary from The Mortal Instruments because I can just see us getting along. Although some of the things that she does annoys me, I could just yell at her in person then. Also Kat from the Heist Society novels. She is just an awesome character and I definitely could see us being friends.

7. Which character from a book would be your perfect boyfriend? ;)
          Ah!! Another tough question. But I do have a list. Emmett Cullen from The Twilight Saga because he is unbelievably amazing. Four/Tobias from Divergent Trilogy, because again he is amazing, and a strong character and honest. Last but not least, Will from The Infernal Devices, do I really need to say anything else!! 

8. If you were to write a novel, which other blogger would you want to review it? 
          I'm not entirely sure who I would have review it. 

9. Do your friends and family know about your blogging life?
          No, my friends and family don't know about my blogging life. I didn't tell them, and honestly, I don't think they would be to interested in it anyways.

10. What's one piece of advice you would give to bloggers who are just starting out?
          One piece of advice would be definitely stick with it. Try to update regularly as well. That's something I have trouble with but am trying to improve on. Most importantly, just have fun with it, because if you're not having fun, you won't want to stick with it.

I tag everyone who is reading this and wants to do it. Usually for tags, I do tag specific people, but for this one I'm just tagging everyone! Have fun!! 

My Questions:
1) Who is your favorite blogger?
2) What type of posts do you like the most?
3) What type of books do you generally go for?
4) Who are your 3 favorite authors?
5) Do you write your blog alone or with other people?
6) Do you have another social website?
7) *Completely Random* What is your favorite season?
8) Who are your fictional crushes?
9) What is your favorite post you have written?
10) If you could write a blog with other people, would you?

Book Review: Ocean's 11

Title- Ocean's 11
Author- Dewey Gram
Pages- 256 pages
Rating- 3.8 out of 5 
Companion/Sequels Books- Stand Alone

Goodreads Synopsis- ONE EXPLOSIVE PLAN:
Ex-con Danny Ocean has hatched a plot to rip off three of Vegas's biggest casinos...

ONE EXPERT TEAM:
He's counting on the greatest team of con men in the world...

ONE INCREDIBLE HEIST:
If they pull it off, they can take in over 150 million dollars...

ONE SMALL PROBLEM:
Danny's shady former wife, his biggest-and sexiest-gamble...

Based on a screenplay by Steve Carpenter and Ted Griffin.

Steven Soderbergh directs George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Don Cheadle in a blockbuster remake of the classic Rat Pack heist film.

Personal Thoughts- The main reason I bought this book is because I'm a HUGE fan of the movie. It's one of mt favorites. I got this book from my local thrift store and so when I saw it there, for very cheap, I couldn't pass it up. So I bought this book and got to reading it. I enjoyed this book for the storyline. I mean who doesn't love a book about a group of highly skilled thieves? I love the characters in this book and the storyline. The reason I gave this book a 3.8 was because it was a good book, but just didn't blow my mind. Reading about it, and seeing it are two completely different experiences and for me, watching the movie was a better experience than reading about it. However if you love the movie, and pretty much want the same thing, just in a different way, (contradicting much!!), then check out this book. For me this would be a borrow it. Unless you're like me and find it for a very cheap price!!

***This review is extremely short, but I just wanted to get this up because it has been awhile since I posted a review on here. Most of the times I just make videos. Another thing is that I honestly don't have much to say about this book. It's just your average type of book. Thanks for checking it out!!***

Update

Decided to just give an update with what has been going on. Nothing to interesting, but just wanted to share anyways.

Pretty much I've been focusing on school. I just have to finish one lab and then I'm finished for the summer. Lately I've been spending a lot of time working on getting things finished for school and also watching some TV. Mainly I've been watching the show Supernatural. I just started watching it last week and I'm hooked. Almost finished with the entire show. There's a recommendation if you don't already watch it.

I took a break from writing for a bit, but I'm definitely going to get back into it. I got stuck at a certain part and wasn't sure where I wanted to take the story, but I'm going to get back into it, and figure out where I want to go with it.

Also I've been hanging out with my friends a lot more. So pretty much my social life kind of took over for awhile. I went bowling a lot, and no matter how many times I bowl, I don't seem to get any better. So it's pretty much a guarantee that if we went bowling together, you would definitely win.

That's pretty much it. My life really hasn't been too thrilling, just time consuming. What have you guys been up to lately? Any plans for the summer?

Reading

Lately I just haven't felt much like reading. 
I don't know why. They're so many great books on my self that I need to read but I just haven't felt the urge to read them. Books like: Delirium by Lauren Oliver, Fearless by Francine Pascal, Eon by Alison Goodman and so many others. Hopefully I can get out of this "mood".
Have you guys ever felt like this? Because I'm positive I'm not the only one.
Let me know what you do when this sort of "mood" happens to you.

Late Night/Early Morning

I can't sleep so I decided to just write. 
About what...I'm not really sure, but we will find out when this post is finished. 
Right now, I'm watching The Vampire Diaries. A show that I'm obsessed with. It is probably my favorite show. That along with GLEE. Is anyone else obsessed with The Vampire Diaries or GLEE. Or any other favorite show?

I've been interested in a lot of supernatural/paranormal type of shows lately. It's just been that kind of mood for me. Plus how can you not love the characters. Paul Wesley who plays Stefan, Ian Somerhalder who plays Damon, Joseph Morgan who plays Klaus. How can you not fall in love with them? Or the stars from GLEE?

I've always secretly wanted my life to be like a musical. Just burst out into song and dance. How amazing would that be? I wonder what my theme song would be? Probably something up-beat and fun. I wouldn't want a slow song, but then again, those are good for the sad, disappointing, depressing moments of peoples life. But for a theme song, no.

I would enjoy it if my life was a musical. Just to have me and my friends burst out into song and dance in the parking lot. Who knows right.

While we're on the topic of song, why not talk about music. I really haven't been listening to much music, so what is everyone listening to nowadays?

Some of my favorites that I've been listening too are Superbass, kinda old but a favorite. I can never get enough of LMFAO. They're songs are just too much fun.

By the way I need to start working out again. I feel so lazy not working out. I just need the motivation. Motivation is key!! But yes, I really don't know what else to say. I don't even know if this makes sense. It is really late or really early in the morning. Whatever you want to say. But if this doesn't make any sense then I apologize, but thanks for reading anyways. So to make me feel better, you should leave a completely random comment, about anything.

My Story- Preview

Hey guys. I wanted to post a bit from the story I'm writing. This story is just for fun, but I'm really liking it so far and thought I would share a bit with you. Here is just a tiny bit from it. If you would like to see more in the future, let me know. Please leave feedback!! 

“Run” I scream. “Run and don’t stop!”
I keep running. I won’t stop. I can’t stop. Behind me I can hear the others. If they don’t move faster, they’re not going to make it. We’re not going to make it. Going back without the others is not an option. We’re going back together."

My Story

So I was in the car with my family, heading to my sisters for her birthday, and I brought my laptop. I couldn't get on the internet, so I decided to write. I was just planning on writing about my day, and just some random things. Well that didn't really work out so well. Five minutes later, I was writing my story. I'm not going to give a synopsis or anything, mainly because, I only have a few pages so far. But as of right now, I'm loving it, and I think it's one that I will definitely be dedicated too!
