Prompt 26: Books I'd Like to Read This Year

Amy, Justine, and I have something very big in common...we're complete bookworms! There is always a book we'd like to pick up from the bookstore/library, we're quick to recommend books we love, and Harry Potter is no stranger to our shelves :)

With that, I'm here to announce today's prompt!

List 26: Books I'd Like to Read This Year

 

It's a little hard to read, so here's my list: 

• The Maze Runner
• Dracula, The Undead
• Red Pyramid
• Boneshaker
• The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher
• Atlas Shrugged
• Deja Dead
• Hickory Dickory Dead
• Batman: Arkham Asylum
• The Grey Wolf Throne
• The Son of Neptune
• Bullet
• Hit List
• Matched
• Incarceron
• The Scorch Trails
• The Throne of Fire
• The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy

Quite the list, right? And what's worse is that most of those are already on my bookshelf! I buy books faster than I can read them *shrug* but at least I'm never alone, right? I don't know if you've seen this post about the importance of dating a girl who reads floating around the interwebs, but Justine has it on her blog, I suggest you read it :)

Here is a photo of one of our shelves...we have two bookcases...one is a three shelf, the other is six shelf unit. 

 OVERFLOWING!

Pull the books forward and you see a mess load of books behind them! Yes, you're seeing that correctly...books lined up the way they should be PLUS books laid on top of them. We're sick.

I'm looking forward to seeing what books you're 

hoping to read this month/season/year! 

Even though I shouldn't order any more books, 

I'd love some recommendations :)

List 25: Things I'd Rather be Doing Right Now

Happy Friday!

Today's list prompt is about remembering all those things you would love to be doing if you didn't have to be, you know. Responsible and stuff :)

Things I'd Rather be Doing Right Now



I'm slowly but surely crafting my "work" time around activities that I enjoy, but if I was truly honest ...... If I wasn't going to work today, or blogging for next week, I would rather be:

reading, sleeping, reading, sleeping, traveling

Not a lot to ask, right?

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants' have come up with and add your own list!

Can't wait to hear what you all would rather be doing!

List 24: I Make Lists For:

DISCLAIMER- My camera is MIA, so this photo was taken on my phone, and it's awful, I hope you forgive me!

OK, well this is a fun one! What do you like to make lists for! You know we all do, since we are doing this project :) I used to collect all my lists I made and I would staple them into a cute journal that I would turn into a planner, because I feel like I have never bought a planner that suits all my needs, so I always create my own. Do you feel me on that? Or am I crazy?

(Can I just say I cannot believe we are on list 24! I feel like it was just yesterday when Kam emailed Amy and I about this, and that was in January!)

I love being able to just make lists, everyday for something new. Have any  of you used one of the Listography books? I see them a lot, but I don't know if they are worth the money, let a girl know if you have bought one! :)

Just a reminder! These photos are coming from the Flickr group. 

Also, there's still time (10PM Pacific Time) to enter the Boygirlparty giveaway!

I don't want to give too much away, but keep listing, 

there is something exciting coming up next week!

List 23: Guilty Pleasures

I'm lucky I use such small sheets of paper...today's list could go on for...well, days!  I enjoy some pretty silly things...eating ice cream straight from the carton, changing the metric on my Google Analytics so I am shown a graph with positive movement, favoriting things on Etsy I know I'll never buy, yelling at the people on House Hunters for not choosing a home based on the dumbest things...On a rare occasion I'll be too ashamed to admit that I like something that I know most people don't like, but I am usually pretty outspoken when it comes to my guilty pleasures.

List 23: Guilty Pleasures

Guilty Pleasure: something pleasurable that induces a usually minor feeling of guilt. Something that brings pleasure but is considered taboo, unadvisable or lowbrow. First known use, 1907. (Merriam-Webster, Wiktionary)

 

Confession: That's my bathroom. I'm in my pajamas. 

If you can't read my list, here is what I wrote:

• A spoonful of nutella
• Spam (the food)
• Jersey Shore (tomorrow is Jersday!)
• RAW (as in wrestling)
• Dark chocolate anything
• Jack in the Box tacos
• McDonald's orange 'soda'
• Movie/TV show marathons (House/L&O:SVU)
• Collecting 4square badges ('checking in' in general!)
• Cussing
• IZZE drinks (written on the back of an IZZE carton)
• Leggings as pants
• EMU boots

I could go on, but that seems excessive. 

What is on your list?

P.S. Today is the last day to enter the giveaway for an octopus notepad from Boygirlparty!

 Kam runs the blog and online shop known as Campfire Chic. She specializes in making the outdoors look good, Search Engine Optimization for non-nerdy bloggers, and eating tacos while driving.

List 22: Today I saw...

Confession: This list prompt was inspired by Jill's Today I Saw blog. If you're not familiar with her work, I encourage you to check it out.

Today's prompt is about noticing the things around you - big and little.

As I mentioned when showing y'all my book of lists, I'm using a 7x9" 3 ring binder, with the half-page minimal theme from the 30 Days of Lists pdf downloads.

Image is of my drive to work. That is west-bound Wilshire Blvd, and I work in the white building on the right.

Text reads:
traffic on the 405; billboard for GLEE; Ralph's grocery store; Ralph's parking attendant vigilantly keeping non-shoppers out; our across-the-way neighbor watering her plants; Andrew getting my morning coffee (xo)

List 21: Things To Do This SPRING.

You know what I love about the blog world, but find funny? Every time a new season arrives, we all can't WAIT for it to start, its cute. We all get each other excited about everything. Talk about a great support group! I hope you all entered in the giveaway! We have some exciting things plans for the end of this month/project. I am so sad it is almost over. :(

A few things about my list: So, in a few weeks I am going camping with Cal and Kam, so I am super stoked about that. I also am going on the HCG diet next Sunday, so after the initial 3 weeks I hope to start running. THEN, I want to cut off all my hair! Yay! 

What are your biggest goals for this Spring? 

Is there anything you do every Spring? 

<3 Justine.

List 20: Celebrity Crushes

For today's list, it's OK to admit to some things you might not otherwise

Who are your celebrity crushes?

This could be actors and musicians, it could be thinkers and writers, it could even be historical figures you admire. Think of "crush" as liberally as you like....

Amy's Take

Text reads:
Adrien Brody, Montgomery Clift, Dick van Dyke, Christian Bale, Jamie Bell, Harry Connick Jr.

And, somehow I forgot Viggo Mortensen! I added him after the photo was taken, not to worry.

I tend to love crooked mouths .... I also have a lanky-nerdy-type going on :)

Justine's Take

This was so fun! It's funny how easy there were to come up with! I broke it down to actors and musicians :) But, I was lazy and didn't know two of the musicians names hahaha, so you will have to bear with me. 

Speaking of Joseph Gordon- Levitt, do any of you guys follow his tumblr? I love his work! And him!

Kam's Take

I don't know if you see the pattern here...why do the names for the men on my list all start with the letter J?? Craziness. Who knows. Yes, I broke mine down into boy-crushes and girl-crushes, because I'm not afraid to admit that these women are beautiful! I was a little cramped for time (I'm sure you understand) and wasn't able to cram all the people I would like on this list, but there is always next time, right? Edit: I just read Amy's list, and how could I forget Adrien Brody?! My mister has the same nose, so I'm quite fond of him, to say the least :) Thanks for the reminder, Amy!

Please head on over to the 30 Days of Lists Flickr group to see what other participants have come up with and add your own list!

We're looking forward to seeing some of your crushes/style icons!

30 Days of Lists is a collaboration between Kam of Campfire Chic, Amy of Lemon and Raspberry and Justine of A New Beginning.
