Books reserved for 2015

New Year is on it's way!!! Two more days and we will officially be in 2015 :) As I said previously every year I make a list of my decisions, I usually write them on New Year's eve, but I thought this year I could share them whit you.  Which means, I had to write them earlier.
I will post the entire list on New Year's or day after. But, there is one decision I would like to write about today, and that is to read all the books I didn't have time for in 2014. Long story short - here's a list!

♥ Lord of the rings

I've read Hobbit about two years ago and since then I keep telling myself I have to read LotR but I just never actually do it :/

♥ The maze runner

My friend won't shut up about this for weeks... I guess is time I read it too.

♥ Finish the Divergent trilogy

I've read Divergent but I just can't force myself to read the rest of the trilogy (mostly because my friend told me what happens at the end  and that kinda killed my wish to read it but I have to force myself because I hate leaving a book unfinished )

♥ The chronicles of Narnia

Honestly I have no idea why I still haven't read that....

♥ Percy Jackson and the Olympians 

I've read the first two parts few days ago and now I will read the rest :D

So, that would be it, I hope I will read more books during the year but these I just really, really, really want to read.  If you know any other good books that you think I should include on the list, feel free to leave it in the comments :)

See ya soon and I love you all ♥♥♥

I'm finally on my winter break!!!!!

Hello everybody :D 

Is been a few weeks since my last post, mostly because I had my finals and I was studying like crazy, but, guess what? Now I'm officially on my winter break and I can spent more time doing what I love, blogging included. 

There are three things I wanted to tell you before I start posting my random posts again.

1. I  wanted to wish you a merry Christmas just in case I won't be able to do it tomorrow

2. I would really like to make new friends over this winter break so if anybody wants to talk or something email me on pink.owls17@gmail.com or sent me a tweet (my username on twitter is miaisbored17) 

3. If you want me to blog about anything particular just tell me in the comments :)

Happy Holidays and I love you all ♥♥♥

Winter is coming....

Hello December! It feels like it has been just a few days since I was writing the "Finally autumn" post and now I'm writing the winter one..... The thing is, I don't really like winter as much as all the other seasons so I decided to collect all the little things I love about cold weather and short days and maybe after I won't think winter is so bad :)

so, here we go....

♥ Ice skating.

♥  Candles

♥ Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

♥ Christmas songs, lights and well, everything Christmas related

♥ Hot tea 

♥ Fireworks 

♥ New year's eve

Well It took me long enough just to came up with these and also, there is another thing I would like to talk to you about. We all made some decisions last New year (don't even try to deny it...) Some of these decisions we completed but some are still waiting for us to try to do them, even if we failed the first time now is the perfect time to try again. So, who's with me? Let's make the last chapter of 2014 book perfect!

Online reading

hello everybody, today I'm back with some more book stuff ;)

If you live in a small country and love reading then you will understand my problem here... I live in Croatia, where English is not the main language.... When a book comes out I have to wait for at least two years just for book to be translated. I know English enough to understand the books that are not in Croatian, but then I would have to buy every book I want to read ( I usually just borrow them at the library and like this I would have to buy them from Amazon or Ebay because you can't find English books here ). Let's take Percy Jackson for example, In America and England seven parts came out. In Croatia? Three. And the thing is, if the book is not selling the way that publishers wan,t they will not translate the whole series. At this point we come to online reading. I personally don't like it as much as the feel of holding a real book in your hands and I find it a bit harder to read, but that really just depends on you. Of course, for most online books you have to pay, and then we are back at the beginning, but since I really wanted to read the Percy Jackson series till the end and some other books I spent some time looking for a free version of online books and I found this. It might not be the best website, but is the first I found that has a nice amount of not just most popular, but also the less known books and you can easily read them. I don't really like the font (is very thin so it makes it harder to read) but apart from that I would say is quite good. If anyone knows a better one you can leave it in the comment :)) And if this helped someone and you want me to write about more stuff like this feel free to say it ♥

Work hard // Favorite Quote Thursday

So, I'm beginning to think I should stop calling this Favorite Quote _______, and rename it to something more accurate since I'm not really talking about quotes... Anyways is you have any ideas feel free to leave them in comments :) Off to today's favorite "quote" we have......

First of all, let's just appreciate how cute is this bunny right here... doesn't he just make you want to go study? But that is not the important thing here so let's get to the point ...

The reason I picked this is because this kinda adds up on the last "favorite quote". The thing I changed the most last week (little more than a week, but that is not the point here) is my studying... Now, I was always the smart but lazy kid...I could learn a lot in a short amount of time so I would regularly leave my studying to last moment.... The thing is, I might have gotten a good grade, but I would forget what I "learned" after a month of two. Of course I couldn't do that forever, my grades started to get lower and I had to stop that. This week I will continue studying on time, and hopefully some of you will decide to do the same thing.
I love you all ♥♥ 

Blogging from school and my lame excuses...

So, It has been more then a week since my last blog post.... I'm sorry I haven't  blogged more but

1. I have been sick half of the week 
2. The other half was filled with exams and other school stuff 

I'm sorry and I promise I'll make it up to you, by posting more the following month :) Since I'm blogging this from school (The teacher got out of class and I'm usingt the moment, because when I get home I have to study, again) and I'm not able to get my photos I will post something halloween related when I catch a moment. 

 I love you all ♥♥♥

Favorite Quote Tuesday // Make a change

So, today I want to talk about making a change.

I'm usually the type of person to play it safe, I never really get out of my comfort zone... This month I'm going  to change that, I'm going to do something different even if is something small like putting my hair into braid and not the usual ponytail.  Every time I get out of my comfort zone I'm going to take a picture, After a month I'll post all of them here. So, we'll see how that turns out :D

The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer

As I said in my previous blog post, this summer I visited my cousins in Canada, while I was there, as a true book worm, I went to a book store and I was amazed by how many books haven't come out in Croatia ( the joy of living in a small country). Anyways, my cousin suggested me to read The Lunar Chronicles. While I was there I read the first two parts, few days ago the third part came by mail (sent by my beloved cousin Gabriela), and I was soooooo happy. Today I finished reading it and I wanted to share my opinion with you :D This book has everything a good book should have- action, spaceships, fairy tale and a hint of love story. A lot of people probably wouldn't read it because it has a lot of SF elements and then there are people who don't like fairy tales, but once you start reading it you realize how amazing is Marissa Meyer's writing and how amazing she combined everything together without getting boring... Is a futuristic dystopian series, a mash up between The Terminator, Star wars and, well, a fairy tale. The thing that makes a book even more interesting is the fact that the writer didn't made up a new fairy tale, but is using four well known ones. Cinder, the first book of the series, is based on Cinderella. Scarlet, the second book, is based on The Little Red Riding Hood. Cress, the third one, is based on Rapunzel, and Winter the last one, that didn't came out yet will be based on Snow White. Now I'm not going to spoil it for you by writing about what happens in book, to find that out you will have to read them yourselves. But the book is on my top five list and I have enjoyed reading it. I also can't wait to winter to came out which is in November 2015, for more details go on Marissa Meyer's page here.

What's in my backpack?

As we all know school started about month ago... While looking at other blogs I started stumbling across the "what's in my backpack" posts and I thought I'd make my own.. Now before we start I just wanted to say that my backpack usually has a lot more books in it and that is mostly full of trash that I put in it, I cleaned it up a little bit just so it wouldn't look that bad :/

♥ my bottle

 ♥ TicTacs

 ♥ my "not at all tangled" earphones

The second section is bigger and more boring...

Few photos...

So, I take all of my photos with my phone, and I usually don't move them from my SD card until is full and I can't take not even one more photo. That happened two days ago, So I then moved all my photos from my phone to my laptop... I really liked the recent ones from our family trip to Ljubljana in Slovenia and I thought I would share them with you :)

 This was taken in the zoo, those are red pandas and they are so cute and cuddly I just wanted to hug them....

 An old street full of graffiti. Not really nice, but I just liked the photo :/

 This was the most adorable little shop and I just wanted to buy everything from it... But I didn't....  *starts crying*

 A dragon, again, not important but I love dragons

 A picture taken from the boat...

And best for least.... Pizzeria Foculus is a little pizza place, and is amazing. First of all, my pizza was done in less then ten minutes, and we all know how important it is to get your food quickly... But that is not the best part- the pizza was soooooo delicious.... It tasted like haven and <i mean it. best pizza I have ever eaten.

Anyways, that would be it... Not much but I like those photos and I just wanted to share them with you guys.... I love you all ♥
