Fangirl

If You Could Be Mine

If You Could Be Mine

This book features not only a LGBT relationship but adds an extra element of forbiddeness as its set in Iran with its strict laws around same sex relationships.

Chosen Pokemon


So I hard a very hard time choosing a Pokemon, I literally spent days contemplating it (I obviously have WAY too much time on my hands this weekend). Points wise I was going to choose a 3 stage evolution Pokemon. But in reality it's unlikely I will get enough points to evolve twice, so I went with my favorite Pokemon which is Vulpix. Of course being the nerd I am I decided to go with the Alolan Vulpix, which has Ice ability instead of Fire.

April-July Wrap Up


So this one's going to be a big one. Blogging (and reading too for that matter) have been put on the back burner recently, with my focus being on work. However, I've been able to read a little bit over the last couple months, even if it's not as much as I would like. So here's what I've got....


Finished


Paper Girls, Vol. 1 Tell Me Three Things Emmy & Oliver

Btooom!, Vol. 9 (Btooom!, #9) Btooom!, Vol. 10 (Btooom!, #10) BTOOOM! 11巻 (Japanese Edition)

The Shadow Queen (Ravenspire, #1) Crimson Bound Gilded Ashes (Cruel Beauty Universe, #1.5)

The Improbable Theory of Ana and ZakDefending TaylorV is for Virgin (V is for Virgin, #1) The Libby Garrett Intervention (Science Squad, #2)

  

Up Next In August


ReadThemAllThon
Well for August my plan is to catch up on some of my Netgalley ARC's, but mainly and most importantly I intend on participating in Read at Midnight's Pokemon Indigo League #ReadThemAllThon.
I anticipate that will take up much of my months reading, and I'll have a Sign-up post coming up soon. But if you guys are interested in some Pokemon themed reading fun, definitely go check it out :) 


   


Other Favorites

I've been devouring Suits over the last couple months, and while Harvey Specter is pretty damn fine (I mean those cheek bones and jaw line God Damn!), but I have to say that Louis is my favorite character by far. If you have not watched Suits, I highly suggest it if your into law, finance or anything with good witty banter. 

Of course Pokemon Go was also released this past month, and I can't do a wrap-up without mentioning its awesomeness. I must say I've become slightly addicted but for the most part it means my dog has been getting walked much more regularly haha


Are you playing Pokemon Go?  What's your best catch so far?
