Quickie Post: A question for you all

I've been searching the web for a really good book that I can really just curl up with and read over and over again and not get tired of. Lately there's so much stress in my life that I would just love to be able to curl up in my bed with my fuzzy socks and a good book. And yesterday I started reading the Narnia series and I was like "How have I missed these books all these years?!?" I just finished the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and I started the next one I'm kind of confused but my love for the Narnia books is growing rapidly. So basically what are your favorite books that are total must-reads? XOXO Lily

How long has it been?

Ohmygosh how long has it been since my last Favorites post? Um, too long is the answer to that. Oh and I am so so very excited since I'm finally in spring break! My school life is, like, not the best right now so its amazing to get a break from everything!

~favorites~

songs
feel so close-calvin harris
kiss-carly rae jepson
i know you have a boyfriend-carly rae jepson

books
*divergent-veronica roth
insurgent-veronica roth
**a mango shaped space-wendy mass

blog posts
complications-artsy peacock
the mysterious mysteries of writing mysteries-the totally insane writer
people on the trails-the cupcake dictionary




*ohmygosh may i just rant for a moment about divergent and insurgent. if you like plots like the hunger games, matched and the maze runner you will absolutely love divergent and insurgent. they are not thin books, they're pretty thick books and i finished the two of them in two days (one per day, obviously). they were that good!

**a mango shaped space was the first time i had ever heard about synesthesia. i once saw it and even paused to read the back and it really confused me because when it said "words and sounds have color for her" i thought it was a fantasy story, not even going to lie, and i didn't bother to get it. biggest mistake ever! that was about a year or so ago and i really don't remember why i decided to buy it on my kindle but i did and i finished that in a day too, it was so so incredible i can't even talk enough about it.

My Apologies + Wildflower cases!

Okay so first of all I'm super sorry to anyone who's tagged me for something, I can't do it now at the moment but I might be able to eventually. Also answers to my "Imagination" post probably will be up in the next week or two. I know I keep saying that, I'm sorry, just been so super busy.

And oh my gosh Wildflower Cases! I am so obsessed with them and I really want some for my iphone.
Ermagod this is the one I seriously want the most. 



I'm absolutely obsessed with this one but sadly it was only available on the 1st.

 


But sadly, these are all $35.00, pretty expensive, so I think I'll ask for a few on my birthday (April 28th!) but until then since I'm such an impatient person I found some dupes on Amazon which are much less expensive. 



Okay so my total (including my shipping and coupons and such) was about $19.00. I'm aware they're not like exactly alike but I think they're pretty awesome and I'm really happy with how they look and the price. They're supposed to arrive around April 15th (which isn't fast enough for impatient Lily, but whatever) and I cannot wait! XOXO Lily

Quickie Post: Instagram

So first off any time I do a quick post like this I'll just call it quickie post because.... I want to. Haha so yeah lets get into the point of this post.
So I'm sure most of you know what Instagram is. If you don't its an app where you post pictures, sort of like a picture posting version of twitter. I have a personal, a harry potter account (_perksofbeingapotterhead_) and an account for this blog (lilysnotebook) so basically wanted to tell you to go check it out. I know Emma has an instagrammy but do any of you?
