The Witch Hunter
By Virginia Boecker

Genre: YA, Fantasy, Paranormal, Magic

Release Date: June 2, 2015
Publisher: Little Brown Books for Young Readers

Elizabeth Grey is one of the king's best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out witchcraft and doling out justice. When she's accused of being a witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to die at the stake. Salvation comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most powerful wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will save her from execution if she can track down the person who laid a deadly curse on him.

As she's thrust into the world of witches, ghosts, pirates, and all-too-handsome healers, Elizabeth is forced to redefine her ideas of right and wrong, of friends and enemies, and of love and hate.

Chloe has one plan for the future, and one plan only: the road. She’s made a promise to herself: don’t let anyone in, and don’t let anyone love her. She’s learned the hard way what happens if she breaks her rules. So she’s focused on being invisible and waiting until she can set out on the road—her dream of freedom, at least for a little while.

Blake Hunter is a basketball star who has it all—everything about him looks perfect to those on the other side of his protective walls. He can’t let anyone see the shattered pieces behind the flawless facade or else all his hopes and dreams will disappear.

One dark night throws Chloe and Blake together, changing everything for Blake. For Chloe, nothing changes: she has the road, and she’s focused on it. But when the so-called perfect boy starts to notice the invisible girl, they discover that sometimes with love, no one knows where the road may lead.

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.
