Currently (My first!)

Uncategorized

Today I’m kicking off 2015 by linking up with Farley over at Oh Boy 4th Grade for the very first time! I love reading everyone’s Currently and thought it was time I join in the fun! 
I’m currently listening to the Into the Woods soundtrack. Yes, I’m one of those people who loves listening to broadway and musical soundtracks. I actually didn’t realize that this movie was a musical until we were in the theaters and it started. Such a happy surprise! I *LOVED* this movie and the songs!

I’m loving my Emily Ley planner. I bought it back in September and it’s been patiently sitting on my desk just waiting for January 1st to arrive. I’ve always used Lilly Pulitzer planners in the past but I’ve heard such wonderful things about this one so I decided to try it out. The gorgeous cover, complete with a pineapple (!), doesn’t hurt. 🙂

I’m thinking about continuing my picture a day hashtag on Instagram. I did #laeveryday2014 all last year and it was such fun to look back throughout the photos but it was a bit of a headache at times. I can’t decide if I want to keep it up in 2015.

I’m wanting the University of Alabama to win the Sugar Bowl tonight against Ohio State in order to play for the National Championship. Roll Tide!
***
I’m needing to find inspiration to finish my newest creation for TpT. I’ve been sitting at my computer for over an hour hoping I’ll find the motivation to get it done.
***
Yes to making this year MY year! The year I eat better, finally exercise, and learn to not get so wrapped up in my job! 
Maybe I’ll tackle deep cleaning the classroom. Y’all, it certainly needs it! We need a fresh start when we go back next week so I definitely need to make this happen!
I wish I could become a stay at home blogger. I love teaching, but my dream job has always involved working from home. I love my house and am a major homebody so having the opportunity to work from it would be amazing!

    Hi Leslie! Although I am an AU fan (War Eagle!), I too, am ready to watch Alabama play. They are super talented and so deserve to be where they are! I am with you too about cleaning your classroom. My mother has graciously agreed to help me with that tomorrow… that is, if I don't change my mind. With the rain that's on the way, I can't think of anything better to do than work. Will you have kids on Monday? We have an inservice, so it's kinda like an additional day of vacation… almost. Take care!

Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become Are you a kindle lover or no? I feel like I become a kindle girlie during the winter months, but I have no clue why. I usually always prefer a physical book, but here lately I’m glued to my kindle. I remember this happened to me last winter, too. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I’m flying through my TBR though, so let’s call it a win!

November reading wrap up Yall, I’ve been so bad November reading wrap up

Yall, I’ve been so bad about posting my monthly wrap ups 🤦🏼‍♀️ That’s definitely a goal for the new year because I miss them so much!

Anyways, here’s what I read in November. It’s been a weird reading year for me, so it’s kinda all over the place. A couple of 5 ⭐️’s, but also some definite duds lol

Have y’all read any of these? I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks for the tagged publishers for the gifted copies!

Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ball Kicking off my holiday reading with Falon’s Ballard’s newest rom com, All I Want is You! I love this author, so I’m excited for this one. 🩷📖🎄

Synopsis:
All Jessica has ever wanted is her own happily ever after. But until that happens, she spends her days as a small-time romance writer, penning satisfying Happily Ever Afters to soothe the heartache left by her ex-boyfriend Nick—also a romance writer and now her biggest rival—who has found success writing love stories without happy endings. It’s what he’s good at, after all . . .

So when their professional obligations bring them to a remote inn a few days before Christmas, they’re a little more than peeved, especially when they get trapped sharing a room in a snowstorm. But what’s more fitting for two romantic writers in a slump? Realizing the friction between them might be the only cure for their writer’s block, they decide to turn their frustration into fiction . . . and the pages start flying. But will Jess’s heart soar, too? Nick is the last guy on earth she should love . . . but what if he is really all she wants for Christmas?
What I read this week 🩷📖 It took me all wee What I read this week 🩷📖

It took me all week to read The Favorites by Layne Fargo, which usually means I’m not loving a book, but I’m thrilled that’s not the case with this book! It was just a super busy week for me so I didn’t read as much every day as I wanted, but I absolutely LOVED this book! It releases January 14, so mark your calendars now! I don’t even love figure skating/ ice dancing (honestly I’ve never even heard of this) and I still was obsessed with this book. Highly highly recommend!

Thanks for my early review copy, @atrandombooks

Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. do Halfway thru this book and I can. not. put. it. down. 1000% obsessed. It releases in January, so put it on your TBRs NOW! Oh my goodness I’m loving this book!

Synopsis:

She might not have a famous name, funding, or her family’s support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and roller-coaster relationship.

Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.

As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the “real story” through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary, but she can’t stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy. So, after a decade of silence, she’s telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines
