Quote of the Month:
My brother cleared his throat. "I wish she knew that I think she is the most hilarious person on Earth. And that whenever she's not home, I feel like I'm missing my partner in crime."
My throat tightened. Do not cry. Do not cry.
"I wish she knew that she's really Mom's favorite--"
I shook my head here.
"--the princess she always wanted. That Mom used to dress her up like a little doll and parade her around like Mara was her greatest achievement. I wish Mara knew that I never minded, because she's my favorite too.”
 -The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin ( *Tears* This part gets me every time!)
Picture of the Month:
I watched this movie three times this month. Love.

  1. Seems like everyone loves the Mara Dyer series. Not me, which is so sad. I DNFed the second book if you can believe it. And yes! I watched Perks of Being a Wallflower this month. It was so good! Logan Lerman was just so awkward and cute; I can't even ad;lfkjasdfkj. I'm starting school in September so hopefully we can both still blog sometimes :/

    1. Really? Gosh, that's too bad, I really love that series. But I think I can see why someone would DNF it. And PERKS. I was a little iffy about Logan Lerman after the whole Percy Jackson thing, But I am fully on board with him again! Good luck with school!

  2. I need to finally read Under the Never Sky! I loved the Goddess Test series. I actually never finished the last book and need to. School and work suck! I also have to slow things down on the blog because I am just too exhausted every night!

  4. Perks of Being a Wallflower just makes my heart so warm, and then it kinda breaks it towards the end. But still, so much love. Super excited that you read Evolution of Mara Dyer <3 That book is so good. I can't believe we have to wait until June for the third book though. I'm going to go insane until then!!

Everyone is raving over it and I just want it now. So many reviews has convinced me.(σ≧▽≦)σ And that quote. You are the best at picking quotes. And I'm so happy you enjoyed The Perks of Being a Wallflower movie so much! I think the only thing I loved about it was Patrick. <3 But books always beats movies, right?
