I'M BACK! Let's talk some books.

I chose my top 7 favorite and least favorite books of 2017.

FAVES
1. Les Miserables by Victor Hugo
2. A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
3. A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini
4. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
5. A Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket (I grouped all 13 books as one)
6. Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
7. The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

I go into more depth in this video.

WORST BOOKS
1. Too Far by Rich Shapero
2. The Leopard by Giuseppe di Lampedusa
3. Savage Sam by Fred Gipson
4. The Moro Affair by Leonardo Sciascia
5. Dracula by Bram Stoker
6. Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
7. Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson

I go into more depth in this video.. I go pretty hard on Thirteen Reasons Why and Too Far so click with caution, I guess.

I officially leave for New Zealand February 16! This freaks me out but in a good way. I leave 10:30 AM in Chicago, have a 5 hour layover in LA, and then arrive in Auckland, New Zealand Feb 18 at 7:30. I can't sign into my dorm until 2:30 PM so I don't know what I'll do during that time. I started applying for my student visa today but SO MUCH GOES INTO IT AND I'M SO STRESSED. But everything's fine lol.

Yeah yeah I mentioned GoFundMe in the title. A lot of recent funds were kind of just piled on top of me at the last possible minute. I'll link my GoFundMe and if you can, please, pleeeeeease donate. If not, please share with anyone you know! Your money won't go towards tuition. That's all covered. It'll just go towards my housing, meal plan, books, and other school related items. Personal expenditures will be paid by myself.

Also, does anyone know if I can get an easy online job while I'm away? I'm not allowed to work in New Zealand and the fact I won't have a biweekly paycheck kind of freaks me out. I can still work with my dad since my job with his company is just research but those paychecks are only $30 a week. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

That's all for now.

Ciao a tutti!
