My Most Anticipated YA Book Releases In the First Half of 2018!

My favorite kind of book is YA, so I decided to go through some books that are being released in 2018 that I might enjoy, I'm gonna put the book and the plot in here, with the link to the Goodreads page of that book.

This is my first half of 2018 releases, I'm doing another most anticipated for the second half sometime in June.

I'm trying a different method here, I'm putting the month, and then the day of each book at the beginning of that book, and I'm saying all the one that caught my attention, but the books which plot I share with you are the books that I'm most excited to read.

My 2017 resolutions check up!

This is has been probably one of the worst, but even with the bad there was also the good, and that is what I want to show you here. I want to go back on my 2017 resolutions and see what I accomplished, I want to see what I want to add on my 2018 resolutions and I want to try my best to do it, at least most of it. So let's see what 2017 had for me.

Blog: 

• Have a header designed. - oops, kind of forgot about it...
• Work more on blog ideas. - I think I had some good posts, at least I posted more this year.
• Try new settings. - Didn't keep them, but still trying.
• Create a blog series. - Do reviews count? 

Life:

• Stay Positive.
• Be more confident.
• Never give up.
• Save money. - Kind of...
• Try yoga or body balance. - I tried this literally last month, I liked it and went for 3 weeks and got bored... sorry. It's good though
• Read more! - I made a Goodreads challenge of reading 15, then 25, then stopped at 30, and I read 46 books!
• Stop comparing myself to others.
• Focus more on University.
• Create a Spotify account.  - I did this!!
• Be more social.
• Be organized.
• Explore new places. - Nhe.
• Try Hand Lettering. - Damn it, I forgot!

Photography:

• Save money to invest in a new camera. - I kind of lost my motivation to pursue photography...
• Learn more about photography.  - I did learn more about the functions of my camera.
• Take a photography class. - I had a photography class in university but learned almost nothing, I learned more when giving a photography class for high school students!
• Find a good editing software besides photoshop. - I tried Lightroom but my teachers taught nothing!
• Try to take one photo a day, even if it's a photo of my dogs. - I started the year strong with this one but stopped because most days I wasn't feeling well.

Healthy Eating and Exercise:

• Drink more water. - kind of did it!
• Work out 4/5 days a week. - 3 days most weeks.
• Try out Smoothies. - Tried 2, one of them was awful!
• Drink tea instead of sodas or coffee. - Drank water!
• Don't eat after 9pm. - Most nights that didn't work out...
• Learn how to cook. - Still to learn...
• Plan my meals. - did not.
• Improve my flexibility. - During those 3 weeks of body balance, I feel like I improved.
• Eat more healthy. (good luck). - good luck indeed...

So that's it! I made some and other I didn't but still, I checked out more than I was expecting...

Did you accomplish your 2017 resolutions? 

2017 Book Covers I Loved most!

2017, what a year, full of ups and downs and full of new book releases.

I decided to go through the books that came out in 2017 and see which covers I loved most, and there are quite a few, so let's dive into it! 

These will not be in any specific order, I just went through the books and marked the covers I liked. I'm not saying the book is either good or bad, just talking about the covers, mostly because I've read almost none of these. I have the e-books of these ones and I was just scrolling through them and thought it would be funny to write a post like this.

One thing you need to know about me is that I like simple covers, so if you see some covers that you're like "Nah, that's too simple for me", then it's because it is, but to me, I love it.

I'm also not going to talk about each one in particular, so enjoy the covers!

My Christmas Wishlist! 2017

I just realize I haven’t posted a Christmas post since December started and I need to change that, so I decided to go and see what books I really want this Christmas even though I'm definitely not getting them all. And I feel like it's quite a big list if it were top 5 maybe it would be tolerable to buy the book but oh well.

So basically the books that I really really want are the ones that are translated because rarely I buy books in English, normally I stick for the ebooks for that one. But here are the ones that I want in a physical copy. And I'm only showing 10 of the books I most want.
