My Cameras Country Expedition

Hello everybody! It has been a few days since I've seen the face of the internet. This week has been busy.... from getting everything arranged for uni to technicians replacing our old internet to being out of town for the majority of this week.

Remember how I was telling you guys in my last post about buying my new camera? Well I did!
I bought my new camera literally yesterday and I'm still trying to work on it and figure out all the new features on it, but all day today I was just messing with my camera around my house and took some pictures.

 Basically these photos are just testers because I was trying to figure out my new lenses and such, but I couldn't do much more than nature shots because it was raining and I live in the country.... and there's not much along the lines of exciting when it comes to the dull country life.

I've decided that each week I will post all the pictures I have taken throughout the week and stick them on my blog every Sunday (The end of the week). I can already tell this is going to be cool :D

(Little side note: It was icky outside today... rain, grey skies, and all, so the lighting on the photos were not all that great... still don't know how to fix the lighting in my setting just yet)

What's On The Bookshelf: Spaceships And Plagues... Say What...?

Every week I have a new list of books that I need to read, and this week I've only got two.

The first book on my list this week to read is called Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin.

 

"Everything is in ruins.

A devastating plague has decimated the population. And those who are left live in fear of catching it as the city crumbles to pieces around them.
So what does Araby Worth have to live for?
Nights in the Debauchery Club, beautiful dresses, glittery make-up . . . and tantalizing ways to forget it all.
But in the depths of the club—in the depths of her own despair—Araby will find more than oblivion. She will find Will, the terribly handsome proprietor of the club. And Elliott, the wickedly smart aristocrat. Neither boy is what he seems. Both have secrets. Everyone does.

And Araby may find something not just to live for, but to fight for—no matter what it costs her."

I am almost finished with this book, I was so excited to read it cause this books seemed right down my alley. It contains a bunch of weirdness... like people bleeding from their eyes because of the plague to people getting poisoned. Its has that Steampunk vibe to it which I love. I love this books for its horrificness, but I'm still not positive if I like it more than that. After I finish this book I will do another post on telling you how I feel about this book and so on.

NOW! This next book I have heard crazy talk about and all of it is good.

After I read Masque of the Red Death I am switching lanes real fast to a Syfy type book called Across the Universe by Beth Revis.

 

WHAT IS LIFE?! WHAT IS THIS COVER?! IT'S BEAUTIFUL IS WHAT IT IS!

This is book cover envy right here!

So generally I'm not a Syfy type of person alot of the time, but this book may have me change my mind. 

Here is the summary:

" Amy is a cryogenically frozen passenger aboard the vast spaceship Godspeed. She expects to wake up on a new planet, 300 years in the future. But fifty years before Godspeed's scheduled landing, Amy's cryo chamber is unplugged, and she is nearly killed.

Now, Amy is caught inside an enclosed world where nothing makes sense. Godspeed's passengers have forfeited all control to Eldest, a tyrannical and frightening leader, and Elder, his rebellious and brilliant teenage heir.
Amy desperately wants to trust Elder. But should she? All she knows is that she must race to unlock Godspeed's hidden secrets before whoever woke her tries to kill again."

This just sounds cool to me...
I am a little behind on this series because there are three books already.
If you look on Beth Revis website for Across the Universe, SHE LITERALLY HAS PICTUREs OF THE SPACESHIP AND PLACES INSIDE OF IT! Like I said.... awesome.

Also, people have been asking me when I am going to do a vlog, and what is it going to be about. This week I'm going out to buy a new camera because my last one had a meltdown and broke, RIP little buddy. I was waiting to do a vlog until after I had gotten my camera because my laptop doesn't have the greatest camera and neither does any other technology I own.
What am I going to be vlogging first?
I am not even sure. On my vlog I'm doing everything from fashion and beauty to adventures and books. I feel for my first vlog though its either going to be a beauty or a book review. I am leaning more toward book review. If I do a book review it is going to go over these books I talked about today.

Sorry for such the long post!

Sexy Sirens And Dark Spell Casters

Okay, I am super excited for this post because it is not only a book talk post, but also a fashion post.... say whaaa?!

 

Yeah, that's what I said.

 

Today I watched Beautiful Creatures, which was inspired by the book Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl. I have not read any part of the Beautiful Creatures series yet, but I did buy the book long before there was even discussion of a movie. I have no clue why I haven't read this series yet and I am a complete idiot for not doing so, but when I bought it, it made its way right into the stack of books that hang out on my coffee table (Is there a name for that?), which I refer to as "decorations".

 

The movie was quite amazing, but I have heard that the movie does not correlate with the book a lot, which kinda makes me sad, but that makes me all the more excited to read the book and get more insight on the actual storyline.

 

Here is the book with the original cover, which is beautiful I might add and looks better than the movie cover in my opinion. Its got this eerie look to it, which I believe really shows off the book.

 

 





Now here's the part where I get really excited. During this movie I could not take my eyes off Emmy Rossum, who played Ridley in the movie. She plays a Siren with hands down the best outfits!

Here are a couple photos to show you her gorgeous wardrobe during this film.

 

Now here is my most favorite dress by far that she rocked in the movie

 

 

 

I can't explain how gorgeous this dress is, and I think it's because it is such a dark look, but its ultra feminine and sexy with the lace work.

 

Another thing I loved about Emmy Rossum in this movie is her hair! It was this beautiful shade of red and at first it was this sleek super short cut then at other times it was beautifully long with luscious curls.

 

I think the reason I liked the movie so much was because of Emmy... 100% serious.
