Hi, readers! After a very, very long hiatus, I have decided to return to book blogging!
I've gone through some major life changes since my last post - I met a boy, moved to another state, started a new full-time job, and moved into my first big-girl apartment. I could not have imagined any of this, but I wouldn't change it for the world. I've never been happier.
Bonus: my new apartment has a lovely balcony and a gorgeous pool area, both of which I've adopted as my new reading spots!
I couldn't be more excited to be back and share my bookish life with you all! Thank you for coming back!

October TBR
October is my favorite month! The true beginning of fall, color-changing leaves, hoodies and leggings, an excuse to buy more boots... Oh, and my birthday! :D
I wanted to put up my TBR list for October before I forget about it! You'll find it after the jump!

It's Gilmore Girls Day!
Happy October! Happy Hump Day! But most importantly... Happy Gilmore Girls Day! All 7 seasons of the epic show were released on Netflix today, so I will be starting my binge-watching as soon as possible!
In addition to reliving the memories, I wanted to find out how many books I have read from the "Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge" list! It consists of 339 titles. Rory Gilmore is the ultimate bookworm!
You can find the full list after the jump!

Upcoming Film Adaptations!
Welcome to the start of a new week! I hope everyone had a great weekend!
If you're like most bookworms, you either get very excited or very worried when you find out one of your favorite books is being made into a movie! It can be perfect (The Silver Linings Playbook), terrible (The Time Traveler's Wife) or "eh" (The Last Song). We've been seeing a lot of book to movie adaptations lately, so I got together a list of nine films that will be released before the end of 2014. Check it out after the jump!

Book Buying!
Hi everyone! Sorry for the absence for the past few days, I've had a bit going on, and honestly... sort of forgot I started the blog! Ooops! But that's okay because today we're going to talk about one of my favorite things to do: BUY BOOKS!

My Very Magical Day!
Happy Hump Day! First of all, I apologize if this page takes a while to load - TONS of pictures to follow!
As I mentioned in my first post, last month I got to cross something off my bucket list - visit the Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios Resort in Orlando! Most of you probably know all about it, but for those who don't, I'll give a little back story! It originally opened in 2010 at Islands of Adventure, which is one of the two theme parks at the resort. This section features the village of Hogsmeade and the Hogwarts castle. In July of this year they opened a new area in Universal Studios, which highlights Diagon Alley and London. The two parks are "connected" by the Hogwarts Express train!
