My Fall TBR List

As always, there are many books out there that I'm waiting to read. So here's a little taste of my latest book wish list. :)

~ The Last Present by Wendy Mass ~

Gahh! I was SO excited when I heard about Wendy Mass's latest book in this awesome series! I can't wait to read it! :)

~ Home for Christmas by Jessica Burkhart ~

Finally! It's here! I've waited so long for this to come out, but I'm also sad that the series is ending. :( It's been a favorite of mine since, like, sixth grade!

~ The Fault In Our Stars by John Green ~

I see this book everywhere and everyone seems to love it! And I'm excited that there is going to be a movie starring Shailene Woodley! :)

~ Wonder by R. J. Palacio ~

I've been hearing a lot about this one and it sounds like a great read!

~ Flutter by Erin E. Moulton ~

I first saw this at Barnes and Nobles about a year ago and I've been wanting to read it since! It's definitely my kind of book.

~ Keeping Safe the Stars by Sheila O'Conner ~

I love her Sheila's first book, so I can't wait to read her second!

~ When the Butterflies Came by Kimberley Griffiths Little ~

Oh, my goodness, I LOVE this author! Her books are amazing and I was so excited to hear about her latest book.

~ The Missing: Risked by Margaret Peterson Haddix ~

Ahhh! This author is amazing and I have read most of her books, including the first five in this awesome series! :)

~ Eight Keys by Suzanne LaFleur ~

I LOVED her first book, so I can't wait to read her second.

~ Uprising by Margaret Peterson Haddix ~

Another from the lovely Ms. Haddix. :) And this one is a historical fiction <3

Have a great day! :)

Being 16

Yesterday, I turned 16. :) And it was probably one of the best birthdays ever!

First, on Saturday, I was going shopping with my mom... and I got my ears pierced!

It hurt a little at first, but the pain quickly went away.

After, she said we should stop by Yogurtland after. Well, I was in for the surprise of my life because when I walked in, my friends were there waiting for me! It was a surprise party! I couldn't stop smiling! :)

All of us together: my sisters, my cousin, and friends from choir. It was awesome! :)

Sunday, I woke up late, watched TV, and ate my favorite breakfast: Dutch Babies and sausage! Yum! :)

Then, before we left for my party, my sis snapped a few picks of me in my new flower crown she gave me. :) I love it!

<3

Onto the party! We went over to my grandparents house with the rest of my dad's family and swam, had a BBQ, and lot's of fun!

Here is my cousin Anna modeling the awesome mustache glasses we got! :)

Jackie the cat!

Anna made me a special birthday chair! :)

Haha! :D

<3 It's my new screen saver on my phone :)

Nailed it! :D

More pretty photos...

Then, my most of my cousins and sisters lined up so I could throw water balloons at them!

I think they enjoyed it. :)

"Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday to me!"

Make a wish...

The cake was so good!

And that about wraps it up! I had a very special day and feel so loved by all my wonderful friends and family. They are the best! :)

Have a great day!
