Waiting On Wednesday

I realize that it isn't wednesday but I'm posting this anyways because I liked the idea! So this is a weekly event at breaking the spine where you post the book you are most eagerly waiting to read and mine would have to be "Mockingjay" by Suzanne Collins which is set to come out later this month. I've been waiting for this, the third installment of the Hunger Games trilogy since february..so stoked for it to finally come out!! It's set for august 24th, one of the many things I'm looking forward to at the end of the month :D

Here's a pic of the cover:

Blogger Book Hop!

Hey everyone! So I found out about this really cool weekly thing they do on crazy-for-books.com called the blogger book hop! There's this huge list of book review blogs to browse and its super cool! So every week you answer the Book Hop question. This week its:

How many books do you have on your 'to be read shelf’?

I actually have a to-be-read shelf on shelfari, you can see the first page of it on the side bar. There are exactly 53 books on my plan-to-read shelf at the moment, which is a ridiculously small amount I know, but I try to be realistic since I can rarely find these books where I am..plus once i find the book it doesn't stay on my TBR shelf for long ;P

Ramadans here!

Hey everyone!

So the holy month of Ramadan is here and I'm fasting...feels really weird with my retainer in..very very icky feeling.

Not that I'm complaining or anything, I love Ramadan..its kinda fun to be doing something with the entire country :) also its really fun for two main reasons: A) the food is always way better (and who would complain about awesome food for a month?) and B) I feel really really proud of myself all month long because I tend to slim down a bit..if I don't splurge on the pasta :P

Other than that..yeah just another month of boring summer I have to endure before starting university (I've gotten my schedule and the first day is officially 19th of september, can't wait!!) Five subjects first semester and four subs for second. I'm secretly really happy that I'm gonna be the youngest one there (still 16..), I should be used to it by now but I really enjoy the moment I tell someone new about it..yeah..I'm snobby/selfish/narcissistic sometimes..I figure I've earned it since my mom and I went through hell and back moving from school to school. Plus I still managed a 4.0 so I don't dwell on the mean-ness of it. Its kinda fun when people think of me as the child genius (exaggeration) makes up for the years of hell being a new student.

I digress..

So I'm attempting to make pies for dessert during ramadan but I've discovered that nobody in my family like pie 0_0 yeah..shocked me. I made three pies (in retrospect I'm guessing that was a bit much for a family of six) and it was just me and my dad who were eating any of them..apple pie (a la mode mmmm..), pumpkin (which I hated), and apple peach pie (basically tastes the same as plain apple) but most of it ended up in the trash in the end...oh, well.

So the 7 days competition came to a grinding halt about five days after it started..I read the first three potter books on schedule but when it was time to crack open Goblet of Fire I just couldn't...too much reading too little time..plus the actual people who started the competition seemed to drop off the face of the earth..absolutely no tweets after the sixth day and no one seems to have started Order of the Phoenix..I guess it wasnt meant to be..It was taking up way too much of my time and I have a huge to-be-read book list on which i haven't been making much progress...going to get started on that ASAP :)

Hope you all enjoy this last month of summer as much as I plan to!

Ever yours~

Heroes and other Summer Activities

Hey guys! I've spent the last three or four days watching the show Heroes like a maniac..finished seasons one and two now..just waiting for season three to finish downloading so that I can continue my Heroes marathon. Its such an awesome show don't you think? I had never heard of half of the actors and actresses in it but they're all amazing! I'm really into shows like House and CSI and Numbers..where there's some sort of mystery that they figure out at the end of each episode but Heroes mashes them all together and adds super powers to the mix! Plus there's a background story going on and it takes them longer to figure out each mystery. The Ultimate show in my opinion, especially with Peter Petrelli in it (Milo Ventimiglia) he is HOT! Some character just make the show, you know, I think the main characters that do that here are Claire Bennet (Hayden Pantierre) and Peter Petrelli. He's her uncle in the show but apparently they dated for two years in real life..not sure whether thats kinda weird or not especially since he's about 10 years older than her..Gonna keep watching..I heard the show got cancelled but its halfway through season four right now so I still have alot of episodes to look forward to.

Also about the HP 7 days challenge..I kinda put that on hold. I finished the first three books on time but then I just could not pick up the fourth one..I would never have thought this possible, but it does get pretty boring reading non-stop..

Anyways, i have started reading Hush, Hush which seems pretty cool so far..gonna review that soon. Going to get my Uni schedule on wednesday, which is coincidentally the first day of Ramadan, kinda looking forward to losing weight from that, esp. just before starting school. Great timing I think :)

Ever Yours~
