Rainbow Swirlz!!

Rainbow Swirlz Screen Printing: 

(aka: My love of t-shirts and adorable animals combine) 

My favorites so far

Adorable no? Plus that name is also awesome, like a unicorn super hero or something. Do YOU know any cute t-shirt places that I can scour? Leave links in the comments or tweet it to me (@epicbooknerd). I'm serious, I want to see more cute t-shirts. :)

Reading Report:
Currently Reading: The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman (Sounds epic just on it's premise. A library that loans out 'objects' and not books. Magical objects.) and that same Doctor Who comic (theres like 12 stories in it or something which is why it's taking so long.)
Recently Finished: Mostly Good Girls by Leila Sales (average read with a great punch of 'this is what friendship is') and The Nightmare Affair by Mindee Arnett (Hex Hall meets something TOTALLY new. Just amazing!!)
On Deck: (You guessed it!) Fuse by Julianna Baggott. I keep meaning to pick this one up to read next but it never happens. So I'm also adding Mind Games by Kiersten White and Game by Barry Lyga. Maybe I'll read one of those ones at least. I'm trying not to request anymore books for right now because I already have a back stalk of books I need to read and I'll be leaving soon.

A Bird Ballet

Seriously, whatever.

So I was just you know surfing the internet last week and I found this video of a Bird Ballet. It's pretty awesome! You should watch it. Sometimes nature is so amazing.

I'm Getting a Hair Cut!

Seriously, whatever. 

This is monumental. I haven't gotten a hair cut since April of last year. The lady who does my hair lives here in Ga so when I'm in Idaho I just have to wait it out. I was going to get it cut in the summer when I was off but she was way booked up so it didn't happen. I am so freaking excited!! I'm not sure when but I've already been scouring for pictures. I wanted to show you them. 

So I am in love with these bangs!!

And I like all of her many layers here and where they begin. 

I kind of already know what I want and these pictures are just solid visuals of what it is I want. You have no idea how excited I am. :D Are you weird like me and have to have pictures to illustrate what you want? Do you get excited to get a hair cut? Do you prefer long hair, medium hair, or short hair?

Operation Valentine's Day

I'm not a huge fan of Valentines day. I think it is kind of cheesy. HOWEVER, I like to take the time to tell my family that I love them and show them some sort of appreciation on Valentine's day. Last year I made them all these really cute valentines. I drew the animals myself and everything. They were adorable. I kind of wanted to keep them all, that's how amazing they were. I have a few ideas brewing for this year and since it's right around the corner I figured I'd give you a visual representation of my ideas.

Lovely valentines (read the small print) (Etsy)

And of course Whotines for Dallin (Etsy)

Sugar Cookies (Make Bake Celebrate)

Frosted with yummy jello flavored frosting!! (How Do It)

When my creations are finished I'll put pictures up. Till then: How do you celebrate Valentine's day? Are you a fan of it or not? Please expound. Do you have a significant other to celebrate with or are you floating solo this year? (I would be in the second category sadly.)  

Reading Report:
Currently Reading: The Cavendish Home for Girls and Boys by Claire Legrand: This book is creepy in the best way! I'm not very far into it but what I've read I love!!
Recently Finished: Sea of Love by Jamie Ponti, Crank by Ellen Hopkins, and Getting Over Garret Delaney.
On Deck: Fuse by Julianna Baggot and a slew of library books.

An Old Post

Weekly Whatever is a new thing I'm going to try. Basically I post about something going on in my life or bookish things that I love or even about the way Doctor Who rocks my socks. It can be bookish or it can be a rant about the way people chew their food. Anything is game. It's just random collection of whatever. Hence the name. 

This week I'm taking a step down memory lane. I was looking through Katie's blog (Call Me Crazy Ya Reviews) and I noticed a guest post I had written up for her. It was on why I loved books, and what they are to me. I vaguely remember writing it but even as I read it, the one who wrote it, it reminded me why I love books and sometimes you just need that reminder. I thought I'd post it on my blog. Enjoy! 

To me books are:

A time machine

(The Book Thief, To Kill a Mocking Bird, and Night)

A magic show

(Harry Potter, My Fair Godmother , and City of Bones)

A portal to another world

(The Chronicles of Narnia, The Iron King, and Now You See it)

A key to the past

(Revolution, Nobody’s Princess, and A Great and Terrible Beauty)

A window to the soul

(The Mocking Birds, I am the Messenger , and By the time you read this I’ll be Dead )

A vision of what could be

(The Hunger Games, Inside Out, and The Forest of Hands and Teeth)

A non-stop Laugh

(Hex Hall, Demonglass, and Just one Wish,)

A story between a boy and a girl

(The Oracle of Dating, Love Undercover, and At first Sight)

A view through a boy’s eyes

(Infinity, Percy Jackson and the Olympians, and The Giver)

What are books to you? What do books give you? Which is your favorite category? Any suggestions to add?
