January Book Review 2019: The Becoming of Noah Shaw

My Reasons For Reading This Book I went to the library knowing that the book I wanted to check out was available, little did I know that it had been checked out earlier that day. I went to the library on a time crunch knowing that my possible new roommate was coming to meet me and my roommates and to see the place. I attempted to check out a John Green book, but sadly the were all checked out. After looking around in the pop fiction section and reading lots of book descriptions, I finally decided on The Becoming of Noah Shaw by Michelle Hodkin . I read the book description and was instantly intrigued. The fact that it was the first book in the Shaw Confessions trilogy excited me because I usually do not read series or trilogies.  Content of the Book The book follows the life of Noah Shaw after the death of his father and the freedom to do what he would like with his inheritance. This trilogy piggy backs off of Michelle Hodkin's Mara Dyer novels. Noah has a "gift&quo

National Day Weekly Bullet Journal Spread Themes

For the theme of my weekly spreads I love to include any 'National Day' that I can. I thought that since I love to do it that maybe other bullet journalers would love to do the same. This blog post will include 'National Day' theme for the month of January and the beginning of February. As I have mentioned before I plan digitally, using an iPad and the application  GoodNotes  and  Bargain Depot Stylus 2 Pack  from Amazon. If you are curious to why I plan digitally you should check out my blog post  Switching to a Digital Planner-Paperless Planning . National Pie Day Weekly Spread January 23, 2019 is National Pie Day!! Who doesn't love pie? For this weekly spread I drew a whole cherry pie and two cherries on a stem. Cherry pie is not my favorite kind of pie, but I thought it would be the cutest for this spread. The way in which I set up my weekly spreads is by having a section for each day to write activities, to do lists, and appointments. At the bottom of

December Book Review: Presumed Innocent

My Reasons For Reading This Book As I have mentioned before my mom is constantly recommend books for me to read. She knows the types of books that I liked to read and makes suggestions for what I should read. Since she knows that I like mystery or detective novels she suggested that I read Presumed Innocent by Scott Turow . She read this book around the time it was first published in the 1990s and thought it was a good novel; that is why she recommend it to me. Content of the Book Rusty Sabich the chief deputy prosecutor for Kindle County was assigned to investigate the rape and murder of Carolyn Polhemus his college and past lover. Due to the fact that Rusty's boss is in the middle of an election the murder is seen as an embarrassment to his boss Raymond Horgan, which puts the pressure on Rusty to solve the murder in order to save Horgan's political standing. Not only is Rusty struggling with the murder of Carolyn, but he is also navigating the stain that the knowle
