Review: November 9  by Colleen Hoover Format (That I Read It): Ebook Summary: Fallon meets Ben, an aspiring novelist, the day before her scheduled cross-country move. Their untimely attraction leads them to spend Fallon’s last day in L.A. together, and her eventful life becomes the creative inspiration Ben has always sought for his novel. Over time and amidst the various relationships and tribulations of their own separate lives, they continue to meet on the same date every year. Until one day Fallon becomes unsure if Ben has been telling her the truth or fabricating a perfect reality for the sake of the ultimate plot twist. Initial Thoughts: I remember being so excited when I heard this book was coming out. I've only read one Colleen Hoover book and that was Ugly Love.  I was most excited and only knew it was about two people meeting on the same day every year. One of them is writing a book.

Writing: A New Spark While on vacation recently I was suddenly hit with a ton of inspiration. It seems like a lot of Booktubers lately have been writing and it's really pushed me to start writing again! My writing, much like my reading, really started when I was in middle school/early high school. It was during the times when a little boy band by the name of The Jonas Brothers were popular and Miley Cyrus was just Hannah Montana. I was in my room writing random stories and LOTS of fanfiction. That was really how I started to develop my style and improve my writing. I've completed one whole fanfiction story and I've participated in Nanowrimo once (I didn't win). I haven't ever stopped writing. Though for the last years, I have been in this weird place. My writing has slowed down considerably. I keep the notes app on my phone open for any ideas I might have and I write a few times a week at least but it seems that I can't find a solid enough ide...

My Most Anticipated Summer Shows (June/July) Sunday June 5th: Outcast (Cinemax) Series Premiere   I didn't know this was going to be a show or anything about it until I saw an interview with Robert Kirkman (the creator of The Walking Dead). He was talking about starting this new show called Outlast and I had no idea what he was talking about. I'm a HUGE fan of The Walking Dead so I checked out the trailer and I instantly fell in love! I'm a sucker for horror and creepy demonic possession sort of stories so this is gonna right up my alley.  Sunday June 12th: Ride With Norman Reedus (AMC) Series Premiere I've been excited for the show since I heard it be announced. Norman Reedus is one of my favorite actors, from The Walking Dead to Boondock Saints (even though his accent was quite bad). I'm also really happy to see it's about motorcycles too. I have a fascination with them so putting both Norman and motorcycles together is going to be rea...
