The Mortal Instruments: City Of Bones

Recently I finished reading the first Mortal Instruments book: City of Bones!!!  I thought the book was soooo good and made mention that I hoped the books would be made into movies.  A good friend of mine told me that it was rumored that they were being made into movies. Well I guess the rumors were true and I can't wait until this first movie comes out!!!  Yeah!!!!

Lakers Game

Last night I went to my first ever live NBA game!!!  

It was the Dallas Mavericks vs. L.A. Lakers!!  Of course I was routing for the Lakers since my fiance was routing for the Lakers and I don't want any animosity between us.  Since I don't follow sports, I feel it's only best to route for the teams of my significant others.  

Anyway, so the game was totally awesome and I'm glad that I went.  I didn't want to go at first but after awhile I decided to go and support the L.A. boys.  It was an awesome experience and luckily there are several Lakers fans living in Dallas!!  It was awesome being in the same room as this amazing man....

 Kobe Bryant!!  

Unfortunately I don't know any of the other players on the team but Gasol, but that will all change in time I'm sure.  

The Lakers totally killed it last night and made the Mavericks look ridiculous.  

The final score was 115 to 89!!

Overall it was fun to experience an event that my man loves and he promised me that we'll go to The Nutcracker Ballet next time!!

A Day Of Female Pampering

I felt like it was time for some much needed female pampering today.  So I started off my day by getting my hair done, and I decided to get a new look while I was at it.

Bangs!!!  I've done the bangs before, but I decided to do them again because I really wanted something different.  

After I got my hair done I went to get my nails done too.  I love getting my nails done, but I usually save that extravagance for the holidays since it can get expensive.  

 I chose gold tips because I thought it looked festive for the upcoming Holidays!!  

I had a great day because I got pampered and I felt beautiful all day!  I got compliments everywhere I went and what woman doesn't want that?

Samba Trio

This dance was awesome!!

Happy Halloween

Little Bookworm

I've become quite the little bookworm lately.  I never read as much as I've been doing so far this year.  Thanks to my iBooks app on my iPhone, I download books all the time and read them for free.  I'd also like to thank goodreads for helping me keep track on what I want to read and what I've already read.  I also get some great reading ideas from my friends.  Since the last time I wrote about my reads I've read 4 more books.  

Fire

 This wasn't my favorite book but I really wanted to read the whole collection.  I enjoyed Graceling much more than I enjoyed this book.  I felt like this story dragged on and on and I couldn't wait for the story to end.  I got really annoyed with the talk about Fire's monthly bleeding and I just couldn't get in to any of the characters really.  Archer really annoyed me when he got two different women pregnant around the same time....may he rest in peace.  

Bitterblue

 A much more enjoyable read than Fire.  I found it difficult to put this book down because I wanted to keep reading.  I really felt bad for Bitterblue and I found myself just as frustrated as her with her situation.  I only wish that Graceling had been as detailed as this book was.  

The Help

OMG I loved this book!!!!  I don't really know what to say other than.....I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!  I loved all the characters and I have a new appreciation for what African Americans had to go through even after slavery was abolished. It makes me sad to see how they were treated.  I absolutely love the whole poopy pie part!!!  Great book!

Tiger's Destiny

Much better than the previous 2 books in this series.  Kelsey still annoyed the crap out of me but all ended well with this book.  There was a lot of sadness in this book but much happiness as well.  I'm just glad that Kelsey FINALLY listened to her heart and chose the man of her dreams.  I'm eager to read the next and final book in the series when it comes out.  I have no idea what could possibly be in store for the next story.  

As you know I'm already reading The Hobbit and I think I should be done with that book before too long!  

An Unexpected Journey

The Hobbit

 I'm getting super excited about this movie coming out this December and so I thought it would be really cool to read the story again.  I haven't read the book in probably close to 11 or 12 years.  I haven't gotten that far into the book yet but I'm having a great time reading it again and I'm getting even more excited.  Is it December 14th yet?
