Goals:
I hope to read at least 6 books this week! And hopefully I will have time to read the entire week - even though I have some papers to finish before I start school again.
TBR:
I have quite a large TBR for this week, but its totally fine since I am almost done with one of them, halfway through 2 others, and 2 others I have made quite a dent in!
The books I hope to read are:
Amanda's Wedding by Jenny Colgan
Fahrenheit 541 by Ray Bradbury
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling
Girl, Interrupted by Susanna Kaysen
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
Zombies vs. Unicorns
The Preacher (Fjällbacka / Patrik Hedström #2) by Camilla Läckberg
Shatter Me (Shatter Me #1) by Taherah Mafi
and Eleanor by S.F. Burgess
I also hope to finish at least 1 book from Netgalley, hopefully 2.
If I read all those books, I will have read over 3000 pages - which would be amazing!

Dear Augustus Waters
I have done but I have not had the cell to tell you, When I first drowned your story, I climbed in edge. I hope you and I will someday be uglies. I would love to give you a heart-shaped hero for Valentine's Day.

That was fun!
Book Title poetry
I have decided to share 2 since I couldn't choose between the ones I made - but bear in mind that it is a bit more storylike than poetry.
At breaking dawn, the dawn of the dreadfuls
The hero of ages pray
to the angels and demons
for him to get his empire in black and gold
looking for.... it
The Final Testament..
In the lost library
at the edge of never
It was actually really difficult, but it was still fun!
