Top Ten Book To Movie Adaptations I'm Looking Forward To

- - - Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme, hosted by The Broke and The Bookish, where a new topic is given for a top ten list - - -

About half of this list have only been optioned for film that I really really hope go into production. *fingers crossed 24/7*
These are in a specific order from 'I NEED THIS TODAY' to 'Ooh sounds good, give it to me'.
[* = optioned]

1. Under the Never Sky*
With how popular CGI has gotten in films, I can imagine how amazing the Aether storms and virtual worlds would look like. And [more importantly,] I can imagine my drooling over the two actors that get cast as Perry and Roar ;)

2. Daughter of Smoke and Bone*
So I finished reading this book a few months back and loved it!
I feel like DoS&B could have LotR-potential cinematography (aka epicness).

3. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
J.K. Rowling, magical monsters and Eddie Redmayne.
Needless to say I'm really looking forward to being back in the wizarding world!

What I'll Be Doing During The Holidays

Hii everyone!

I am happy to announce that my winter break has officially started.

I haven't been very active in the blogging world lately but I'll be using this time to catch up on a lot of stuff, blog-related things included! Thought I'd make this random post to share with you what I have planned for this winter break :D

1. Catch up on book reviews

Upcoming reviews on the blog:

Now that I look at it, I don't have much to catch up here haha. 

But I always seems to take forever figuring out what to say in a review *sigh*

I also read the first book of a novella series but I think I'll do a series review rather than individual ones.

2. Make a [tiny] dent in my tbr list

It was incredibly hard to decided which books on my tbr to dive into during the winter break.

Here are four that I will for sure read (in this exact order too):

And if I have the time...

Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire

Finding Dandelion by Lex Martin

3. Catch up on tv shows

I have A LOT of catching up to do when it comes to tv shows. But there's always that dilemma of having to choose between watching my shows or reading books, and reading has trumped watching tv more often than not.

Here are the shows I'm actively working on getting caught up with:

I'm also thinking of starting/trying...

Scandal

Grimm

The Flash

Elementary

4. Work on some graphic edits

I have no doubt that I'll be making Amour Amour edits after I finish but here are sneaks at what 

I'm working on (both are Addicted series related):

I'm looking to start my Character Spotlights again (so much for doing two a month lol)!

I just need to figure out who and make the quote graphics :)

5. Do a little holiday baking

DON'T THESE LOOK DELICIOUS? (Click the image for the recipe)

My dad is allergic to cocoa so we'll probably switch out the chocolate for graham crackers in the cheesecake dessert,

 or make him something else entirely (he's not much of a sweets guy though).

6. Catch up on anime shows

I really need to try and catch up on these anime shows because the winter season is starting soon. 

I'm so behind on these *cries*:

I'll focus more energy with Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (2nd image) since that one centers around musicians and I loveee. 

Also, I only JUST started season one of Kuroko no Basket (1st image). 

There's no hope in catching up any time soon since I think season three starts this season.

7. Get a head start in next term's classes

I am determined to start the new year with my a-game on!

Here are the courses I have for the next school term:

Human Physiology

Environmental Plant Physiology

Cell Biology Seminar

Psychology: The Maladjusted Mind

Psychology: Child Development

The Roman Emperors: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

I WILL SURVIVE *sobs*

You'll be seeing this "On Repeat" business here and there in my future Jae Talk (aka randomness) posts! It's just so I can post the latest YouTube video that I can't stop watching hehe. Most of the time, it will be music-related :)

If you're not familiar with Us: The Duo, THEY ARE AMAZING. 

The fact that they're married and all heart eyes at each other makes my heart warm.

I'm so in love with them.
