I actually got to watch it with Gazelle and some of our other friends. The entire squad all got together, which was the first time for two years. We saw it on Black Friday, and I'd taken notes during the movie and planned to pump out my review at the end of NaNoWriMo. That obviously didn't happen.
So Mockingjay came out...about a month ago.

First off, I want to thank Michael Weekly for giving me an ARC of his book in exchange for an honest review.
Mystical is a fantasy novel about witches, specifically a novice witch named Eliza Rose who is learning more about the world of mystics (non humans). She knows that she is a witch and has a broomstick (which is not for flying) but absolutely no idea about anything else in her life as a witch. That is, until, mystics just begin popping up around her and trying to kill her since she’s going through the equivalent of witch puberty, which allows her to gain skill and try and learn to harness them. The mystical world includes witches, mermaids, elves and shifters as well as corrupt versus innocent types of each species. Hi guys,
So, this month hasn't exactly been the most productive reading month. I read a grand total of two books (one of them was for school), but I do have a reason. If you take a look to the sidebar, I actually participated in NaNoWriMo this month and WON! I wrote 50,000 words (which took up my reading and blogging time) which still amazes me. A million late nights and baggy eyes were totally worth it in the end for this huge accomplishment. Anyways, here are the books that I read in the month of November: Hi guys,
So, if you didn't already know, this month is NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month)! I decided that enough is enough, and I'm going to get my book written and maybe even out into the world someday. I'm going to try and do my best do write weekly updates about my journey writing this, because the fact that I'm finally writing this (especially about something so close to home) really means a lot to me. I've gone done it.
Not only have I managed to start and finish a book in the midst of a huge reading slump, I managed to read a 550 page book in a weekend. Take that reading slump! So this probably shouldn't have been the book I chose to binge read considering the fact that some of my most anticipated releases came out this month, but at least it got me reading Hey guys,
So if you haven't noticed, I've been in this back-to-school reading slump. I've been loaded with extracurriculars and homework, and I took 4 tests this week. I'm trying to set aside time for reading, but I'm barely getting by with sleep. Hey guys,
So I went to the book sale yesterday and I didn't scour all the baskets like I normally do, looking for any books. I went, and I only looked at YA (except I did end up getting non-YA books that I happened upon). I'm not really sure HOW, but all the books I got, minus one, are hardcover. So you can't go very far in life saying that you love books without people asking you what classics you've read. I don't read classics too often, having tried to pick up Pride and Prejudice and only gotten about 50 pages in. Now, my mom didn't grow up in America, so she never had to read all the American classics my dad did. So, knowing that I was planning to read To Kill A Mockingbird over the summer, she picked it up from the library and read it in July. Or, at least tried to. Because after about 100 pages, she deserted it, claiming that nothing was happening. And that was the end of that.
Hi guys, today I have my September TBR for you. I'm trying to finish up some series, and also start one that is going to be a movie very soon. There aren't as many books as usual just because I have NO IDEA how much time I'm going to have to read this month, but I still do want to reach my goal of reading 100 books this year! So here are the books I'm going to be reading this month:
Hi guys, today I have my August Wrap-Up. I can't believe summer is already over, and I'm going back to class soon. I will do my best to post at least once a week once classes start up again. With the PJO challenge, I read A TON of books this month, so without further ado, here are the books that I've read this month.

Goodreads Book of the Month
5 members The reviewers of http://www.onceuponsomefangirls.weebly.com We have monthly books, feel free to ... ButterI TOTALLY DIDN'T JUST MAKE THIS SKETCHY PICTURE OF MYSELF ON POWERPOINT PLEASE NOTE: MY NAME IS NOT BUTTER FOR NO REASON (DEM DOUBLE NEGATIVES DOH). I WILL BE SALTY AND MUSHY AND GROSS AND I AM NOT AFRAID TO USE PROFANITY SO READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION. 'Sup people... It's Butter. Please don't think I sound angsty and dead-ish because that's just me after reading until two in the morning. I guess I like reading YA books because they're quite easy to get what's going on and they allow the sluices in my brain to open for all that rush of fangirling. However, I'm kind of being peer pressured into reading classics because "they're better for my reading comprehension" which is a-ok awesome but I'm still a child who dreams of random awesomeness... Not historical fiction. I'm sorry for being "that one kid" and I'm trying to transition, please love meeeee. Also my grammar sucks so please don't judge (Can you tell I'm half dead while writing this?). CaramelHi! I'm Caramel, the mastermind behind all of this. I've been reading forever. Seriously, my family calls me Hermione. My first memorable book that got me on the path of fangirling is the Harry Potter series, that I read in kindergarten. It was the spark for my bonfire of reading. I'll read just about any genre, or anything, truthfully. I'd probably read a bibliography if you gave me that too.
GazelleHey! Gazelle here! I'm the resident PJO fangirl. The first book series I got into was the PJO series, then I read the Harry Potter books. I LOVED them all. I'm also a huge Lunar Chronicles fan. I actually love a lot of books, I don't think I can name them all. To be honest, I'm really not sure what to say next, Caramel just kind of shoved this in front of me and said, "Here, write something about yourself." I don't know what else to say, so if you could just pretend you're reading the most heart-felt thing in the world, laugh, smile, hold this to your heart, and maybe even shed a few tears, then that would be great. Thanks, I owe you one. Bottom line: I like books. A lot.
