HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

And here we are again, HALLOWEEN! COMMENT what you are going as or what your plans are! (I am going as a goth and I'm heading to a part-ay with my friends!)

So I read 10 books this month. That's not too shabby but I still want to try to read more next month. On my Goodreads schedule, I'm still 5 books behind so I do need to up my game. I went to Barnes and Noble and LITERALLY EVERYTHING in there is now on my to-read so I have a pretty able list.

What have I been doing? Musical theatre (our school is hosting SPAMALOT YOUNG @ PART, which is the musical theatre version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail), MATHCOUNTS (which is this math club where you can get scholarships if you win), DEF JAM POETRY SLAM (which is a lunch club where you share your poetry, short story, inspirational video, or art with the rest), and SCHOOL (sadly.)

I also have started to be VERY active on Wattpad and I have published one FanFiction and... wait for it... ONE ORIGINAL STORY (YAYAYAYAYAY). PLEASE go check that out! My username is @malaynamonkey2004 and the FF story link is Sophitz Forever and the ORIGINAL STORY LINK is My Best Friend's Lover! GO CHECK IT OUT!

I also have a BOOKSTAGRAM which is @a_reader_gurl! GO FOLLOW ME! I WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW YOU BACK NO MATTER WHAT!

I also have started a FictionPress which is basically just the exact same story from Wattpad but you're free to check that out if you DO NOT have a Wattpad (YOU DO NOT NEED A FICTIONPRESS OR FANFICTION ACCOUNT TO READ STORIES OR COMMENT) Here is my FP STORY IT IS ACTUALLY A LOT MORE POPULAR THERE

Okay, so that's it. PLEASE go check out all of the links and thanks!
