Finally a winner...Sort of

I finally finished my first book of 2013! Woooo yay snaps! Okay, now that's out of the way, let's talk about my accomplishment and who made it possible. The lucky winner was My Boyfriend Wrote a Book About Me: And Other Stories I Shouldn't Share With Acquaintances, Coworkers, Taxi Drivers, Assistants, Job Interviewers, Bikini Waxers, And Ex/Current Boyfriends but Have by Hilary Winston. Good golly that is a long ass title to type out.

So, I finished Hilary's book (there's no way I'm typing any of that out again) and it was okay. I'm not going to knock it too much because obviously she's got her crap together, because I'm sitting here writing a blog and she has a job where someone pays her to write. Hilary 1, Steph BIG 0. Anyways, it was just okay. She talked about her ex-boyfriend Kyle a lot. And "Kyle" if you ever read this you're a DICK! You deserve the inquisition, well no because you weren't that bad. Someone like Chris Brown deserves the rack not you Kyle.

My girl Hilary talks about her ex-boyfriend who wrote a book about her, where he refers to her as his "fat-assed girlfriend", like I said he's a dick. Pretty much the whole book is about Kyle and a few of her past relationships, but mostly focuses on Kyle. I will admit she had me laughing when she "broke" her vagina, and then had me crying when her diabetic cat Emmett was dying. I wish I could give more of a synopsis of this book, but really those 3 sentences are all I got.

I'm going to give this book 4 stars, just because she got me to cry and I don't cry at things other than sports (don't ask) and her broken vagina was amusing. And I found out that she writes for Happy Endings (best show on Earth, besides Pretty Little Liars!) and she was also a writer for My Name is Earl,which I watch religious at the gym. You entertained me Miss. Winston and that was the main purpose of this book.

I would also like to dedicate this post to her beloved cat Emmett Otter Winston, whom passed away in 2010. You are missed Emmett!

The Selection Series by Kiera Cass

I don't think it's any surprise that I love meself some YA! I think I was introduced to a blurb about The Selection series in Newsweek ...kidding it was an issue of Seventeen I was reading at the Dentist? Whatever it doesn't matter, all you need to know is that its awesome! A Dystopian America that's now a smaller fragile absolute monarchy and has a caste system??? Uh yes please! The series (originally a trilogy) is narrated by America Singer, a 5 (there are 8 castes) who lives in post WW3 (could be WW4 I honestly don't remember) Illea province named Carolina. As Artists, 5's are 3rd from the bottom in the caste system. I would equate them to the typical American family today, not well off, but they feel the struggle of staying afloat throughout the year. As per tradition with all the Princes of Illea a selection is held, where 35 girls throughout the kingdom compete for his hand in marriage. Kinda like The Bachelor meets The Hunger Games with less bloodshe...

Dr. Scholl's Actives for Her (Brought to you by Influenster)

Time for another Influenster review! This time its a one product review box, I've only done these for Influenster. I know some people get the themed Voxboxes with all the fun goodies, but I tend to only qualify for the one brand review ones. Its all good though, I still enjoy them and love trying free stuff! Even if I do end up giving it all away like I did my Mary Kay stuff (sans the Lash Primer). For this box I qualified to receive a free pair of Dr. Scholl's Active Series Inserts for Her. They retail for $19.99 at Target and $24.99 at Walgreens.  A little pricey for just one pair of insoles, but then again if you work out a lot or are just a sneaker fan in general, you may want to invest in a pair of quality insoles; not only for comfort, but also to extend the life of your sneaks (trainers, for those across the pond). The 'Her' insoles will be for shoe sizes 5.5-8 & 8.5-11, and the 'Him' insoles will fit 7.5-10 & 10.5-13. They are easy to be shap...

Getting it done!

A Book with More Than 500 Pages: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson A Book Set in Another Country: The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson A Book That was Originally Written in a Different Language: The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson A Book Written by an Author with the Same Initials: The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson A Book You Started but Never Finished: The Girl Who Played with Fire by Stieg Larsson I know that this is probably a lot of cheating, like a lot a lot, but these two books covered everythingggg. Its most likely also cheating because I listened to both of these books on "tape". Why would I do such a thing like that? Because I found the first book ( The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo ) incredibly difficult to read. The books are translate from Swedish and I appreciate the time it must take to actually do that, but sometimes the sentence structure isn't always how I would like it to be. Any ...
