Can’t Wait Wednesday | Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice for Murderers – Jesse Q. Sutanto
We wanted to do another bookish meme on Wednesday and after doing Can’t Wait Wednesday a few times we decided that would be a fun one to bring around more often! About twice a month you’ll see this meme on our blog.
Can’t Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we’re excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they’re books that have yet to be released.

Show Sunday | Teen Wolf the Movie
I’ve been a fan of Teen Wolf since it first aired on MTV and have watched it all rigorously. Since the show ended I have rewatched all seasons multiple times, especially season 3 as it is the very best season. Of course I was super hyped when the movie was announced!

Was it as good as I hoped it would be? Let’s take a look!
