The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily (Dash & Lily #2) by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan (Audiobook)

Image
 Hey! Another review coming your way! This was a quick holiday read that I listened to on Audiobook over the last few days.   I had the opportunity back in the day to read an ARC of the first book in this series, and absolutely loved it!  Since then  Dash & Lily's Book of Dares  has been released as Netflix movie (which is also super cute), and two more books have been added to the story; something I didn't learn about until last year, when I watched the movie.  Since then, I've wanted to read the next books, because I truly loved the first book.  It was such a fun read, that took you through the streets of my favorite setting in a book, New York City.  It was a story of finding oneself, finding love, friendship, family, and so much more.   When I found out that my local library had an online audiobook library I ended up finding, The Twelve Days of Dash & Lily , and since it's the holiday season, I thought what a great time to finally...

Dash & Lily Netflix Review

Image
 Hey Everyone! Being a new mom my schedule is super sporadic!  I never know how my day is going to go, because it all depends on how my baby feels.   When I do have "free time" it consists of holding him, or having him sleep next to me, while I watch TV.  We've been working on his sleep schedule, but since he is still so very young (7 weeks old), there isn't too much we can do.  One thing that has been a slight problem, but is slowly getting better, is that he doesn't like being alone when he is sleeping.  He somehow always knows when we have left his side, and he freaks out almost immediately and starts crying.  It can be a bit difficult when you're trying to do something (like go to the bathroom! 😂), but I'm enjoying my time so much with him.  And who am I to argue that he is letting me catch up on shows and movies! So yesterday a new show was released on Netflix... Dash & Lily .   It's based on the book by David Levithan and Rachel Co...

Meg-A Readers Week! Day 4: The Princess Present (#6.5 in The Princess Diaries Series) by Meg Cabot (Novella Review) (Giveaway!)

Image
Hey Everyone! :) Happy Meg-A Readers Day!! From Goodreads : Mia would give all the jewels in Genovia for the perfect present Every year, Princess Mia spends the holidays in Genovia with Grandmère. This year, she's looking forward to the most perfect Christmas ever: her boyfriend, Michael, and her best friend, Lilly, are coming to Genovia, too. But even a princess's plans can go awry. Lilly has a lot to learn about palace protocol, and with all the state holiday functions Mia must attend, there's no time to linger under the mistletoe with Michael. Worst of all, Mia hasn't been able to find him the perfect gift. Can Mia stop her (bah-hum)bugging long enough to see that the perfect present has nothing to do with international express courier -- and everything to do with real love? (Though some shiny silver ribbon never hurts ...) My Thoughts: I love that Meg made these little novella's inbetween!  They are so adorable, and fun to read, especially ...
