Well, this is the last Purposeful Pages that Hannah and Amanda will be doing. I have been very happy to participate and am just a little be sad to see it go, but I totally understand.
Hannah and Amanda just launched this link-up and I’m so happy to join! I’ve never done link-up before so here it goes.Read More »
So I got tagged by Shantelle Mary Hannu to do the Infinity Dreams Award! Thanks, Shantelle!
Tell us eleven facts about yourself.
Answer the eleven questions.
How many books do you hope to read this year?
I have set my Goodreads status for 150 books this year. But who knows if I’ll get that far…
What’s your favorite song?
Ooh, that’s hard. Recently, I have loved Stressed Out by Twenty One Pilots and The Parting Glass by The High Kings.
What’s your least favorite holiday?
Halloween. Some of the history on the origins of Halloween are really just wrong. Many churches have uplifted the holiday and done some good through it, which is very nice.
Why do you blog?
To share my faith and tell people about all the wonderful books out there that people need to read! So go check out some of my book reviews and read my favorites. You won’t regret it!
Favorite dessert?
Ice cream. Mint, cookie dough, or cake batter flavored.
One movie coming out in 2016 you want to watch?
Captain America: Civil War. Oh my goodness. I’ve heard what happens to Captain America in the comics on the Civil War…I hope that the movie doesn’t follow it!
Some books set for 2016 releases you want to read?
This is all that I can think of for now. But I’m so excited for all of them!
What historical era intrigues you most?
Ancient Greek and Roman times. I love all the history behind it. The gladiators are really interesting.
Where would you love to visit?
I’ve always wanted to go to Australia and New Zealand. To go see the waterfalls, kangaroos, and koalas. Besides that, New Zealand is where The Lord of the Rings was filmed. So…win, win!
Some of your favorite blogs?
Amanda at Scattered Journal Pages
Katie at A Writer’s Faith
Hope at Stitches of Freedom
I follow a lot of other amazing blogs, but I think that these are my top three.
What things inspire you to write/blog?
I think it is just so neat to see how just letters put together can create something amazing. All my blogging friends (especially you, Amanda, who helped me start a blog in the first place) are great inspirations. Also, there all these great homeschool authors (you know who you are) that I’ve met by way of Goodreads or blogs have really given me the courage to start writing my own novel.

Some Songs That Make You Happy
~I See Fire by Ed Sheeran
This gives me all the feels from the epic (and sad) Hobbit movies!!!
~Back Home by Owl City
Such a great song. Electronic music and country together? It is perfect!
~The Parting Glass by The High Kings
So pretty. I really have started to like Celtic!
~BZRK – feat. KB by Family Force 5
So awesome! Hilarious YouTube video too!

A great Christian song. So true.

This is a really great Christian rock band. I love it.
~Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry
This is such a fun ’50s song! I love it! It makes me want to dance.
~Stayin’ Alive by Bee Gees
This is one that makes me want to dance too. It’s a really groovy ’70s song.
As you can see from above, I listen to a wide variety of music. I absolutely love music! It is so hard to choose which ones to mention. There are so many good ones. I love a lot of instrumental music and soundtracks too.
Some Books That Make You Happy
~Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan
I LOVED this whole series. It is so good and funny.
~Ilyon Chronicles by Jaye L. Knight
Oh my goodness! This is amazing! Jace!!! I love him! He is such a torn and struggling character. More of these books need to come out!

Agh!!! These books are incredible. I can’t get enough of them!

Wonderful! Such a great story.

Really awesome books. I’d never read steampunk before this. Go check out my reviews on it.
~The Hobbit & The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
Just some in depth fantasy books that will stay with you forever. Words cannot describe how great these are.
~The Underland Chronicles by Suzanne Collins
I don’t think many people know about these books, but they are so good! Maybe not as great as The Hunger Games…but still great!
There are so many more books that I could tell you about, but I don’t want to make this too long.

I haven’t seen the fourth one yet, but I think they’re pretty fun.
~STAR WARS (I-VI)
I’m excited for the new one, but worried at the same time! Yikes!
~The Last Samurai
This is an amazing movie. It’s epic, but sad and heartbreaking.

An amazing protrayal of all the characters!
~Jurassic World
So good!

~SHERLOCK

I’m a Whovian! David Tennant is my favorite actor for the Doctor.
