The Almost Boyfriend | Spoiler-Free Review

Hey guys, this is the first post I've done in awhile. I have a post going up soon detailing all the crazy stuff I've been doing, but here is a review to quench your thirst, since you all have (hopefully) missed me!

***DISCLAIMER***

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Seraphina's Awakening AND Seraphina's Initiation | Spoiler-Free Review

“This is it. All her training and preparation has come to this. This is her graduation, her initiation into being an Angel.”

—Seraphina's Initiation

Hey everyone! Today I will be reviewing two books I have been posting about for months—Seraphina's Awakening and Seraphina's Initiation by Sheena Hurchinson! Let me just start off by saying that, just because it took me awhile to read each book, it was in no way because of the books' content or plot. My life has been absolutely crazy with work, my relationship, and getting ready for school.

I received the first book from the author as an Advanced Reader Copy and the second book for free in exchange for an honest review over both of them.

LAST SUNDAY UPDATE!

Hey guys! I'm going to take you all through my past week pretty quickly since I'm currently getting ready for my first day of school tomorrow!

Monday—I went to the Shawn Mendes/Charlie Puth concert with some of my friends. 

Tuesday—I had my first marching band performance of the season. 

Wednesday—I spent the evening with my boyfriend enoing at a local park. 

Thursday—I got a minor haircut, got my eyebrows waxed (finally!), and had my first clarinet lesson since May. 

Friday—I swam with my 'brother' and had lunch with him at Red Robin. 

Other than that, my week was filled with work, haha!

I will have my review over the first two books in the Seraphina Series up within the next few days!

Have a great next week guys! I love you all!

Sunday Update #8

Hey guys!

So I haven't finished my current read, but I have a few updates for you guys as to how my week went!

My boyfriend's and my one month anniversary was last Thursday! Also, I spent this last week at band camp, where we learned the first two movements of our show!

Below is my planner spread from last week, featuring a mini kit from Minted Paperie on Etsy (sorry for the low picture quality, my phone's camera sucks). 

That's it for this week! Have a spectacular first week of August you guys!

Love,

Sunday Update #7

Hey guys. 

Not really much to update on. I'm still working on Your Inner Fish by Neil Shubin for my AP Biology class. I found out this week that College Board has named me an AP Scholar, so that's cool. I toured Vanderbilt University on Monday and was kind of disappointed since it's been my dream school since I was little, but oh well. 

Here's a look at my planner spread from this past week!

As I'm typing this, I'm suffering from incapacitating head pain. It feels as if someone is stabbing me in the temple repeatedly, but I guess c'est la vie. 

That's all for this week. Wish me luck at band camp. 

Love, Catheryn

Sunday Update #6

GUYS. 

You all are going to be so proud of me... I finally finished Seraphina's Initiation and it BLEW. ME. AWAY. My review for it will be up sometime in the next few days!

Today I started on Your Inner Fish by Neil Shuman, for my AP Biology class this year. 

I realized that I never posted a picture of my planner spread from the week of Fourth of July, so here it is. 

And my spread from this past week is below. 

Tomorrow I am going to tour Vanderbilt University, and Tuesday I'm starting workouts to prepare me for my Marine Scholarship Fitness test, but other than that, next week will mostly involve working at the pool. 

Have a fantastic week, book cubs!

Much love❤️

Sunday Update #5

Hey guys.

So, I still haven't finished Seraphina's Initiation. I only have 50 pages or so left though, so I'm almost there!

The only thing to update you on is that I received my AP scores, and they are as follows:

Chemistry—4

English Language & Composition—4

United States History—5

That's all for now, book cubs. Love y'all!
