O ma glob you guys! I haven't written a blog post in ages!! And I'm rlly sorry for that. I just have loads of things to do *cough* *cough* stewpid school work. And goodness gracious me. I hate school. Like legit H-A-T-E school. Anywho, let's stop rambling about hell aka school, and jump right into this blog post.

Sooooo,  basically, I was registered to a book club in school, and it was... meh. I mean, we're not talking about YA books, and I'm so not down for that. I mean, they're still books, buuuut it's not as good as YA books, I mean.. right? Anyway, we had to stay there for an hour or so, and it was kinda enjoyable, but we lack of food. So I always ended up eating at home. Alone.

Then I came up with an idea to actually make snacks and bring them for book club. Just to make the whole process a bit more fun. But I didn't actually do it since I'm too shy to tell my fellow booknerds. So yeah. I just kept it to myself and will probably use these recipes for my book club in the future.

A bit f disclaimer here, I am by no means saying that I'm a professional cook, but I just wanna tell the world about this awesome recipe that's good for book clubs.



Ingredients:
- 4 cups of macaroni
- 1 cup of milk
- 4 eggs
- 3 tsp of salt
- 3 tsp of pepper
- 4 tsp of garlic powder
- 2 tsp of dried basil leaves
- 4 tbsp of chilli sauce (optional)
- Margarine (I forgot to include it in the pic, whoopsies)


Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F
2. Boil the macaroni in a pot until it turns soft
3. Whisk together the milk, eggs, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried basil leaves and chilli sauce
4. Mix in the boiled macaroni to the mixture
5. Brush the cupcake tray with margarine
6. Scoop two tablespoonfuls (depends on the size of cupcake tray you own) of macaroni into the cupcake tray
7. Bake it for 15 minutes


Thanks for reading this blog post you guys! And I hope I'll see you guys soon with another bookish blog post. It'll most likely be an autumn book haul post... but idk. We'll see.

XOXO,
Jen

Hey Guyss, what's up?? I'm vvvvv sad cuz guess what? Tomorrow's school, and I'm so not for that kinda life. All the homework, tests, quizzes and mean teachers?! Heck no! Take me back to June where summer break is just gonna start. Obviously we can't do that cuz time travel ain't real yeat. But imagine if it were real. I meannnn, it'd be awesome matee.


Step one: Get a luggage
Duh. It's pretty self-explanatory right? I mean, if u wanna pack as much books as you want, just be sure to purchase a luggage that's rectangular or close to that kinda shape.



Step two: Gather all your books
In order for you to pack your luggage, you must be sure of which books you wanna carry and which to leave behind. It seriously is the hardest task in the whole wide world. At least, in my point of view. I mean, you're gonna leave your babies behind. Like... who could ever pull that off? That's why I always carry all of my books back to my hometown, and travel with a bit of books from home.

Hey guys!! Welcome back to my blog!!! Know why I'm so excited for this boody post? Well, it's mainly because I'mma show you guys the books I bought throughout this whole summer break. This post is gonna be kinda different, but it's gonna be as enjoyable to read nonetheless.


Book set one AKA my baes:
- The Crown by Kiera Cass (Barnes and Noble)
- The Siren by Kiera Cass (Barnes and Noble)
I know I know, I've bought them before, buuut it was ruined in a water accident by my parents *cries an ocean of tears*, but it was all okay when they bought me these two babies. Thanks guyss

Hey Guyss! Reading is the best thing a person could ever do right? I mean... if you read then you get to live a thousand lives right? #cliché jen. Anywhooo, when it comes to reading in coffee shops, there'll be pros and cons to it right? So, let's get started with the blog post!

A bit of disclaimer right here... I didn't just snap random shots in this coffee shop for no reason. I've earned my permission from the barista that was in charge, sooo technically I'm all good. hahah. Also, I'm not working with Starbucks or anything, but it's my fave coffee shop, so might s well snap loads of pics from there right?? hahah shoutout to you Starbucks!!






The Pros are as follows:
1. The #1 essential for a great read is obviously a great book, but in addition to the great book, comfy seats are dang crucial to make the great book even greater! hahaha

2. You can't just sit in a coffee shop without buying anything right? I mean... it's the law man! hahah just kidding. I mean... the beverages there are great! You won't even believe it!!

3. Admit it. If you're reading at home, you'd be super starved and would go to the fridge every now and then. But, being in a coffee shop will eliminate that distractions. No distractions created by mr. fridge.

4. If your parents are anything like mine, they'll call you every second of your life, and that ain't doing any good to no one. Your reading life will be miserable! hahaha no offense you guys. Not saying that I hate my parents, as a matter of fact, I loooove them. But, they can sometimes annoy you right? Calling you for the dishes and stuff. Being in a coffee shop will help you not get interrupted by your parents' call every now and then.


Although being in a coffee shop is advantageous, there are some disadvantages aka Cons to them, and they are as follows:
1. If you're lucky, you'll find a coffee shop that's not filled with a gazillion people. It's usually pretty impossible to get peace and quiet in a Starbucks coffee shop back at home. They're just too famous not to exist.

2. .Coffee shops that specialise in drive thrus may not have comfy seats. Soooo you can't totally enjoy your book to its full potential. Sure, you can enjoy it, buuuut it just won't be as good without feeling comfy. At least, that's what I think.


All of those things mentioned above are just my opinion. You guys may feel kinda differently for different things, and that's totally up to you. I'm just typing out my opinions into my blog, sooooo yea. Thanks so much for reading my blog post!! ILYSM, and see you laterrrr

XOXO,
Jen

Hey guysss! Some of you might wonder... what the hell is on the 4th of July? Well... it's suuuuper different from any other day (duh jen), it's the American independence day!! Wooooot! The 4th of July is when freedom was born to the United States of America. I mean, freedom's nice right??

A lil' bit of disclaimer right here. I wrote this whole thing as a draft in my notes before transferring it here for all you guys to see. It was written on this Thursday, but I've just uploaded this thing today cuz I've just got the wi-fi now. hahah. Anddddd I'm not an American, sooooooo I don't exactly know the details of the inedpendence day, hence, I won't be able to tell you much, except for the fact that I'mma do something awesome, and super dooper insane.

Read 4 books in 4 days.

I know it's dang crazy, but, it won't hurt to try right? Anywhooooo, let's get on to the point of this blog post-- to tell you guys what I'mma read for the following days. Check it out!

Heyy guys!! It's summer y'all!! I'm so dang excited!!!!! Like, there'll be no school for a whole month plus a few weeks, and bloody heck! I can't freaking wait right here right now, so let's get on the point of this blogpost.



I just wanna announce to you guys that I'll be posting suuuuuuper frequently for the summer break, and there'll be no excuse for me to not post in this blog for the whole summer time! I swear, there'll be at least a post a week, and you can mark my words on that!

So yeah! Stay tuned for more posts this summer, cuz I srsly can't wait!!

XOXO,

I know I know, I didn't buy Perfect (the third book). It's mainly because I can't find it! So, I just bought myself the 4th one since it's the last piece, and I'm afraid that it might get sold out sooner or later.


Throne of Glass peeps? *Ahem* Sasha Alsberg *Ahem*. I mean, she kept on talking about the Throne of Glass series, and like... it's impossible not to notice her love for the Throne of Glass series by Sara J. Maas. Anyways... the books that I bought are as follows:
- Throne of Glass
- Crown of Midnight
- Heir of Fire
- Queen of Shadows
- The Assassin's blade

Following my birthday book haul is my most anticipated reads of the year (so far). hahaha I mean, these two books are my baes. Srsly!! I even made a book review for one of the books listed below, but I sadly couldn't make a review for the other one which is my #1 bae, cuzzzzz spoilers are everywhere. Even in the 1st sentence! Anywaysss, the books I bought are:
- The Crown by Kiera Cass
- Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare


Random boooooooooooooks! WTH!! I'm so dang expressive. I think it's because I have a thought in my head that I'm gonna go to the US in a week and fygwufgkuasg I can't people I can't! Hahaha. Anywhoooo, the random bookies that I don't have a specific category for are as follows:
- Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige
- Off the Page by Jodi Picoult and Samantha Van Leer
- Magnus Chase and the Sword of Summer by Rick Riordan
- Invaded by Melissa Landers
- Mila 2.0 Renegade by Debra Driza
- The Wicked will Rise by Danielle Paige.

Huh. Now that I've written everything down, I've just realized that Dorothy Must Die and The Wicked will Rise could be partnered together and be in a picture. Stupid me. Hahahah.

Thanks soooo much for reading today's blogpost! I know that it's so dang late, butttt it's kinda worth it. Right? I mean, I've given this post a huuuuuge effort. Well, it's so huge cuz I need to get outta bed and drive all the way to PX Pavillion just to go to a cake shop and take a few shots. Anywhooo, I love you guys and see you all soon!!

XOXO,
Jen

Hey guysss! So sorry that I haven't been posting. Anywayssss I need to tell you guys something. Something very important. Something very bfjsdhbfhaisdlf

Sooooo, for my IGCSE English course, we need to pick a career that we're dreaming and dreading to be. Annnnd guess what? I wanted to be a book blogger but being a blogger isn't a legitimate profession. So, I tweaked my career a bit and chose to be a book reviewer. Cool riiiight? Mundane? Maybe, but it certainly is compelling, am I right?

After picking the career, we must create a descriptive passage, informative recount, personal recount, TED talk and the most grand thing of all-- a booth. It was actually something very amusing and fun. No stress was added to the pile, yet I got a lot of things done. It's really surprising yet miraculous in some way. I don't know... when's the first time you've ever enjoyed a school project or task? NEVER!

This is such a creative way of revising for the whole course, cuz we get to cover descriptive writing, informative recount and personal recount the fun way. No stress. No tears. Sounds like a win-win solution to me. I wish every single course I take at school does this.


Thanks for reading today's blogpost. See you guys soon!! Byeeee

XOXO,
Jen

Hey guyss!! This is it. Time for the book review. Don't worry, there won't be any spoilers. Lemme reapeat NO SPOILERS!!!! Woot woot!! Ain't that nice? Anyways, let's get on to the book review!!

So... As you all know, this is my first ever book review. And the book that I'm gonna review is Lady Midnight. fhsbfsegr Soooo excited mannn! I can't guarantee that this book review will be awesome, but I'll try my best.  Anyways, to me, Cassie-- the author of this book writes so beautifully. When she writes it, reading her book feels like you're watching a movie. I'm not kidding. It's legit the thing. Like... she switches scenes every now and then, to make it more interesting, and not changing the scenes too much to the point that it becomes very confusing. I just luuuuuv the way she writes. I literally couldn't put the book down to the point that I sacrificed my sleeping time. And once my sleeping time is skipped, you'll know that something big is rlly happening.

Furthermore, the 2 main characters. (I guess they're the main characters... but I'm not so sure) fjgseu Julian and Emma... OMG!! They're parabatai right... meaning to say that they are bound to be together. Forever. AKA Best Friends. And, they're just #Friendshipgoals matess. They were there for each other, heal each other, take care of each other and keep each other's secrets. I mean... what else is there to ask if you have a bestie like Julian and Emma. They only have a bit in common, yet they're together. arghhh I wish I had someone like Emma or Julian by my side. Don't get me wrong, I luv luv luv my besties, and nothing's wrong with them, but having someone like Emma or Julian by my side is just gonna be another thing accomplished from my bucket list.

I also really like this book because it feels so real. Like... people from the past (AKA from the past series-- TID and TMI) are mentioned. Tessa and Jem from TID are mentioned in the book, along with Clary and Jace. They're like the older brothers and sisters in Emma's eyes. But, unlike TID and TMI, this series is a lot more modern, it mentions the presence of telephones and laptops (used by Ty and Livvy-- 2 of Julian's siblings). Making it way more modern, hence making us relate to it more easily.

Anywayssss, the plot guys!! The plot! bjfgwukfe I can't!! There are some plot turns in the book, yet betrayal. OMG. The betrayal. Bloody heck! It's so despicable. Likee akgfweuyfgwiu. You know what... if I keep talking about this book and explain about this despicable yet loathsome act. I think... I'm gonna be put to jail and be stoned to death by all of those people who haven't read the book.

The betrayal is the reason why this book is the best compared to the other books she's ever written. Arghhhh I can't. The second book of this series-- The Dark Artifices is called the Lord of Shadows. And guess what guess what!! It's gonna be released in April 2017. Hey! It's my birth month hahahah I wish I could get it earlier than the others, but... I guess I won't get ARCs cuz you need to be such a famous book-related person to get one. Like Sasha Alsberg or something. :(

So sorry that I went off track, and this book review probably isn't even qualified to be called that, but it won't hurt to give it a try right? Thanks for reading this book review, and may you all live in peace.

XOXO,
Jen

Hey guysss!! Welcome back to my blog. You all know that I read books as a hobby right? I mean, why bother dedicating a blog about books when reading is a burden? So that doesn't make any sense. This tells you guys that I am a bibliophile, and books are the closest you can get as friends. I mean, don't get me wrong, I luv my friendzos and nothing's gonna change that. ahahahah Anyways, let's get on to the point of this blogpost-- to tell you the places where I read!!


Numero Uno (dat even a word? I dunno ahahah) So, the first spot where I read is on my roof, and it's very fun to be up there. I could stay there from 3.00pm, (which is the time I'm outta hell AKA school) till 8.00pm and not realise that it's getting dark, that tells me how good the book really is. Not joking guys. hahaha



Da next one is on my bed. Well duh Jen. hahaha I mean, that's where normal people do their reading right? It's common sense dudets, but I'm still posting it cuz it looks great and I luvvv it!! My bed ftw matess.




Finally, the reading spot you've all been waiting for (not rlly) is daaaaaaaa sofa that's beside my garden. I swear, the garden looks waaay fresher and cooler in the picture than in real life. I wish i could jump into it and live in that place and be F-R-E-E! Literally.

Hey guysss! I know I know. I'm so darn late for this post, buuuuut at least I'm posting it right? Plussss this book haul includes the christmas book haul too mainly because christmas is in winter and you technically have to include it soooo yea. Let's get on to the blogpost.


Books for Harry Potter fans only, or should I say for wizards and witches. Get it get it? Anyways, the books I purchased are from Abebooks.com and it was introduced to me by a fellow Instagram user (So sorry to forget your name). They're the first edition of the Harry Potter book series, and they look soooooo gorgeous, although they seem to be kinda worn out, but it doesn't matter cuz it looks epic and just jbdusfhbeo.
