Now that the laziest month of summer is over, it's really time to get back on track. The back-to-school sales are happening (so intimidating) and I still have to finish my fiendish summer homework. Nevertheless, I'm really quite excited for school to start. Hopefully, I'm not the only one who feels like that, because it would be terribly awkward...

June 2017 Wrap-Up
Hello! I hope you all had a wonderful June of 2017! It wasn't necessarily a super successful month as far as how many books I planned to read and July is going to pretty lazy as far as book-reading goes...

Oh well, let’s watch it then!” To which she replied with something like “I thought that would convince you.” She knows me too well...
Beauty and the Beast
For my first ever movie review, I have chosen one of the best movies (to me) ever made. Many people have, of course, seen the original Beauty and the Beast animated Disney movie, but today I am reviewing the newest version. One reason this movie is very special to me is because Emma Watson is my idol. Also, the movie was so emotional and I am still amazed at the beautiful singing in it (the cast album is also rockin’)…
