Follow Friday (9)



 
Hey guys! It's Follow Friday time, and guess who the feature is!? ME!!! I am SO excited for this, and SO happy they decided to feature me. :D So if you're following me, I LOVE YOU! If you're not, that's cool, but I think you might like it here. ;D

Anywho...onward with the question!

Q. Do you have a favorite series that you read over and over again? Tell us a bit about it and why you keep on revisiting it?

 Okay, I obviously have more than one favourite series. So I'm going to make a LIST. Because lists are fun, and organized, and cool looking.

  • The Harry Potter Series

     I think this one is at the top of most people's lists, and it's really no wonder why. The series is so great. It was the most imaginative and unique world, (IMO), and it can be read by ALL ages! No racey subjects or anything. Yes, there's always that zealot who damns it because of witchcraft, but guess what!? Disney has "witchcraft"! Mickey Mouse is a wizard! Oh, I should stop here. I'll get all fired up and go on forever about that. Anyway, my love of this series is really hard to put into words and if I did, it would go on forever. But my main reasons are the world, Hermione, the magical air of it (see, I don't know how to say it! Don't judge me.), the plots, and the depth of characters.  I re-read this series because I enjoy it and it serves as an inspiration in more than just a writing aspect.

  • The Lord of the Rings Series

    I haven't re-read this series completely, but I refer back to it all the time! I use it as my backup for arguments, or ideas for writing...things of that sort. I'm mainly obsessive over the elves and their clothes and their living places. Like Rivendale. GAH. I just want to jump into that book and be a part of it. :D

  •  The Inheritance Cycle

    This series inspired me to write stories. I wrote a lot before, but it was Eragon that made me want to put my mind to creating stories. I found a beautiful world of writing, my best friend (Nicole @ Word for Teens), and passion that will stay with me for the rest of my life. I owe a lot to this series and it's amazing author, Christopher Paolini. II re-read this many times so I can analyze how Paolini built such a diverse and detailed world, including its creatures and plots.  It's sorta my reference book. :D

     

    So, what did you pick!?

In My Mailbox is an awesome meme hosted by Kristin at The Story Siren!


 Hey there! It's time for that amazing In My Mailbox thing again. :D I got some wonderful books again this time around. Also, I really wanted to do a vlog again, but my webcam still fails. Maybe it'll work next time! :D


Bought:
None

Arrived in the Mail:

The Inheritance Almanac by Michael Macauley (From Nicole @ WORD For Teens)
LOVE. I took a picture of this book in B&N on my phone and sent it to her and then she bought it for me. Talk about being awesome. :D
Secret Society by Tom Dolby (ARC) (From Nicole @ WORD For Teens)
I've had this on my to-read list for awhile and then I saw Nicki's mass cleaning project. Bahaha.

Digital Scrapbooking for Dummies by Jeanne Wines-Reed & Joan Wines (From Nicole @ WORD For Teens)
From Nicki's mass cleaning. Its a gift for my mom. ;D Shhh.
Speed Decorating by Jill Vegas (From Nicole @ Word For Teens)
From Nicki's mass cleaning. And it came at the right time...I'm redecorating my room right now. XD

R.A.K.
When I first opened the box! So cute!
There was this awesome little Spork presentation! <3 <3

And the book she sent me! :DDD


City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (From Amelia @ The Authoress)
This book has also been on my to-read list for the longest time so I was really excited to receive this. Even more exciting, was that this was SO unexpected, hence R.A.K. Even MORE exciting, was that she included this awesome little Spork presentation in the box. In case you're wondering, the the little note card with the Spork and plate said "This place of awesomness is reserved for: The Spork Master." I love this girl! <3 <3 <3
