  1. Haha, I have to change the clock in the truck I drive, too. No clue how to do that. I need to get my dad to do it. XD

    It's always nice to see what other people are doing and it's awesome that you've been reading a lot. I'm hoping to catch up on reading a little since I finished this round of editing. Only a little more to go before it gets real. *jumps up and down*
    As for book recommendations... Have you read The Blood Race by K.A Emmons? It's awesome!

  2. Fun post, Julia! I'm so jealous of the snow....we got three inches max this entire winter. *sobs* Switzerland! *heart eyes* I would love to go there, but sadly, I'm a broke high school student. :P
    Book/movie recommendations: I just read "Unbroken"--which is such a powerful, moving story. I'm also reading "A Time to Die" by Nadine Brandes--I LOVE it so much. :)) Movies, uh, idk. :)) I'm waiting till "The Greatest Showman" comes out on Redbox--it looks SO GOOD!!! (and the trailer for "The Crimes of Grindelwald" dropped yesterday and yes, I'm still geeking out over it #notsorry)
    I love reading your posts, Julia! They're the highlight of my Wednesdays. :))

  8. Haha, sounds pretty busy there! We're preparing for little cow bebes here *squeals*, and I'm pretty excited about that.
    I'm reading Munich Signature by Bodie Theone, and it's really good... but sad... and I'm ready to jump in and kill some mucky mucks in the governments... but I will control myself. It's hard to read because it's on WWII and it deals a lot with the Jewish situation in Germany/Germany takeovers and the whole Aryan philosophy (basically one of the characters is a 5yo German boy with a cleft palate and everybody seems to be chasing him, Germany especially because they can't have that little secret get out that they have imperfections in their race), and it's like does nobody care at all? Makes me mad and sad at the same time.
    Books? I LOVE the Ilyon Chronicles by Jaye L. Knight, the Blades of Acktar by Tricia Mingerink,Shadows Over England and Ladies of the Manor by Roseanna M. White. SOOOO good!
    Have you ever seen Friendly Persuasion? That one is hilarious.
    What's your favorite kind of music? I really like movie soundtracks (I believe my last count was like 10 albums...O.O) and some poppy stuff. It depends.
    And the car clocks? I hear it's best to just wait 6 months.

  9. I really need to make peace with the fact that my wanderlust will never be equal to my checkbook. *sighs*

    books / movies - uhm.
    Between Shades of Grey - ruta sepetys // the writing is pure poetry
    Denial // great film + true story


    hope your day is lovely,
    k.
