Monday's Novel Talk (81)

Hey Chroniclers! Happy Monday! As much as we hate it, it comes around every single week and we can't do anything about it. But Monday allows me to say what I've been reading and get you guys to talk about what you've been reading!

I'm still reading A Feast For Crows by George R. R. Martin and I'm on page 100 of 684 so I still have a while to go but things are getting exciting and I can't wait to jump right back into it. Plus the show is getting super amazing and OH MY JESUS!

I'm currently reading Two Boys Kissing by David Levithan. I'm on page 32 of 196 and it is so good! So far there has been no kissing at all but there has been crying on my part because things are just too real in the book. I love it already though and I can't wait to continue after this post!

That's all I've been reading, hopefully next week I'll have read more!

What are you guys reading? Let me know down in the comments below and we can discuss!

To Be Read Pile (June 2014)

Hey Chroniclers! This post is actually on time which is super amazing because, well I've been slacking with everything. Anyway, June has begun and with the new month comes the special post, and with that I present to thee.... the To Be Read Pile of June 2014!

To Be Read Pile (June 2014)

So I'll just go out and say it in case you don't notice but I had to add the small case full of DVD's to the picture because there was no space left to add books! I couldn't stack them too high because they would topple over so as you can see, something was added. There, it's all out now. Clearly the pile has gone up, jokes aside. But I don't even care, I'm super happy!

To Be Read Pile (May 2014)

In the month of May I received 18 books and bought 3 for a grand total of 21! All the books I received was from a lovely friend who sent me more boxes, another friend who helped me celebrate the site's birthday and an ARC from an author! I was at 62 books but now I am at 82 books! Like I said earlier, I'm not mad because I'm excited for the books I did get and I can not wait to read them!

I finished reading 1 books, started reading 1 and am still reading 1. Hopefully next month it'll be better because I've been lacking!

My plan for this month is to read the majority of the smaller books and get them out of the way! We'll see how it goes...

To Be Read Pile (May 2014)

Hey Chroniclers! Again, this post is a month overdue but I have started working and some exciting things have been taking up my time, as well as a week of vacation where I had no access to a computer! But either way, I have gotten back into reading although not as normal as I would have hoped or liked! But, I present to thee... the To Be Read Pile of May 2014!

To Be Read Pile (May 2014)

Clearly I can tell that it's gone up and that there are a lot more books than usual. Lucky for me, the majority of the books aren't that big so I'm safe. Hopefully.

To Be Read Pile (April 2014)

In the month of April I received 7 books! All from a lovely friend who is also a blogger and you will definitely hear about her soon! I can't wait to read them though and I seriously do thank her for the books because she spoils me! I was at 57 books and now I'm at 62! I'm not even mad because I got some amazing books and I've come to terms that the pile will never be as low as I want it to. Which is also good because it means I'll keep getting new books to read!

I finished reading only 1 book and have started my 2nd. Like I said I started work and wasn't home for a week and been super busy with exciting things you will hear about soon!

My plan this month is to read whatever I can so we shall see how that goes.

Happy 4th Birthday!!

Hey guys! Today The Subtle Chronicler turns 4-years-old!

As much as it's time for celebration, I won't be celebrating just yet. I've started a new job today so things are back to being hectic. I will be doing some giveaways very soon but I just want to thank each and every one of you guys. I love you all and if it wasn't for you guys, I would have just given up on this site. But there's still hope!

So be on the lookout for actual posts and giveaways and here's to another year!

To Be Read Pile (April 2014)

Hey Chroniclers! So I know this post is a month overdue but trust me when I say things have just been going on. A lot of things that has taken my time and energy and just it's been horrible really. It also explains the lack of posts. I'm not going to go into detail as of yet but I even stopped reading which has been horrible. But I think there's still time so I present to thee.... the To Be Read Pile of April 2014!

To Be Read Pile (April 2014)

It looks the same as it did in the beginning of March. It hasn't gone down nor up but it's just there. I'm not even mad at this point.

To Be Read Pile (March 2014)

In the month of March I bought 1 book! It was all because of my friend but I'm proud that it was only one book. I was at 59 books but it went down to 57 books. Not bad, considering it looks the same to me! I hope it goes lower (although it actually didn't) but we shall see. I finished reading 3 books and have started my 4th! Not bad.

My plan this month is just whatever. We'll see how it all goes. I predict bad! We'll see though!

Monday's Novel Talk (80)

Hey guys! So I know it's been a while, but this time things were super serious and I backed away from everything. You can say times were dark, I was barely reading and just doing things I'm not proud of but screw that onto better times! It's like a do-over of sort. So let's begin!

The post will be shortish since I haven't been reading but hey! It's something!

I'm currently reading A Feast For Crows by George R. R. Martin and I've only read the Prologue so far but it's so good. I've missed the world, the show is back and it's definitely something to get me back on track. The story is told from the POVs of people we haven't met before or were minor characters. So, I'm pretty excited for that!

That's all I've been reading though. Like I said, reading was kind of put on hold during the "dark times" but I promise to get back on it! For sure!

What are you guys reading? Let me know down in the comments below and we can discuss!

What A Scene! (2)

Hey Chroniclers! What's up?! It's Sunday once more which means it's time for another post of What A Scene! What A Scene! is a new weekly post, hosted by yours truly, where I give you a schedule of what shows I watched during the week and my thoughts on the episode. I love to watch shows as much as I love reading and I know a lot of you do too, so this way we can discuss if you guys have watched it as well. There might be spoilers even though I try not to post them.

(SUNDAY) - 1 SHOW, 1 EPISODE

The Walking Dead 4.14 "The Grove" - Oh my god! If you guys don't watch this show than you must. Everyone seems turned off by the idea of zombies but the majority of the show is about humanity and this episode killed me. As well as some other people. The show continues to prove that the main character doesn't need to be in the show for it to be amazing. This is actually the third episode without Rick and has been focusing on only one group. The deaths were tragic and I did tear up a couple of times because just wow. Everything was so sad yet so beautifully done. This show will be my death.

(MONDAY) - 5 SHOWS, 6 EPISODES

*The Crazy Ones 1.08 "The Stan Wood Account"

*Supernatural 2.02 "Everybody Loves a Clown" | 2.03 "Bloodlust"

How I Met Your Mother 9.21 "Gary Blauman" - This episode is making the end of the show too real. With each episode, it gets clearer that the end is near and this episode is shaping the show to an amazing ending. We see Ted out on a date with the Mother and he's telling her what happened before the wedding with a character. At the end of the episode, we see what happens to a lot of not all of the side characters we meet. How their lives turned out and what they went on to do. It was such a bittersweet episode and they're finally starting their goodbyes.

2 Broke Girls 3.19 "And The Kilt Trip" - This episode was all about my favorite day, St. Patrick's Day! Green beer, green clothes, green everything. As always this show delivered some funny lines that actually made me laugh out loud. I love how the show doesn't hold anything back with its jokes and is funny if you have an open mind and don't take offense to everything. Hopefully we get more seasons.

Teen Wolf 3.23 "Insatiable" - Holy crap! Does every show want to kill me?! The time has come and so has the death and as much as I called it I still couldn't believe it. It's so crazy but it'll be interesting to see how the show and next seasons continue without this character. It's going to get good!

(TUESDAY) - 6 SHOWS, 7 EPISODES

Bates Motel 2.03 "Caleb" - I freaking love Emma! She's just so cute and I hope the weed boy treats her well. About Norma's brother, I kind of guessed his secret when we first saw him but when it was revealed my jaw still dropped because I didn't think it would actually be true. The season is picking up and getting really good and I can't wait until the next episode.

*Supernatural 2.04 "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things" | 2.05 "Simon Said"

*The Crazy Ones 1.09 "Sixteen-Inch Softball"

Pretty Little Liars 4.24 "A is for Answers" - So this was the season finale and finally Allison tells us almost everything about the night she went missing! Finally questions were answered! But, questioned were also asked and left open. What did Spencer's sister tell her dad? Who did Allison's mom see? And who the hell is A?! The season ended with a huge cliff-hanger that leaves the fate of one character on the line and we'll have to wait until June to see what happens. 

Bad Girls All Star Battle 2.10 "Winner Take All" - I knew who was going to win because of spoilers but I'm still happy. I'm also glad the challenges were definitely stepped up which only means it's going to get bigger and badder. It's mindless fun that I like to watch and I can't wait until the reunion.

Glee 5.11 "100" - The 100th episode and everyone returned! Almost everyone, where the hell is Sugar?! Anyway, the cast did remixes of songs they sang previously which is pretty cool and it's also as epic seeing everyone together. The show feels like it's gearing up to its series finale which in a way it is. Season 6 will be its last but won't feature the High School. There were some exciting things that happened and I can't wait to see where it goes from there.

(WEDNESDAY) - 3 SHOWS, 8 EPISODES

*Arrow 1.01 "Pilot" | 1.02 "Honor Thy Father" | 1.03 "Lone Gunman" | 1.04 "An Innocent Man" | 1.05 "Damaged" | 1.06 "Legacies"

The 100 1.01 "Pilot" - The show holds a lot of promise. I'm curios to see how Earth looks and what's changed and see who the hell threw that spear at the end. It's pretty cool how the storylines alternate between Earth and Space and I hope the show gets picked up for a full season and then more.

The Real World: Ex-Plosion 29.10 "Burned to Ashes" - The show is almost done but the relationships are getting crazier than ever. More hookups and breakups and fights have happened. And I'm not even ashamed to say I love this show. I just want more seasons.

(THURSDAY) 4 EPISODES, 1 SHOW

*Arrow 1.07 "Muse of Fire" | 1.08 "Vendetta" | 1.09 "Year's End" | 1.10 "Burned"

(FRIDAY) 1 SHOW, 3 EPISODE

*Arrow 1.11 "Trust but Verify" | 1.12 "Vertigo" | 1.13 "Betrayal"

(SATURDAY) 1 SHOW, 8 EPISODES

*Arrow 1.14 "The Odyssey" | 1.15 "Dodger" | 1.16 "Dead to Rights" | 1.17 "The Huntress Returns" | 1.18 "Salvation" | 1.19 "Unfinished Business" | 1.20 "Home Invasion" | 1.21 "The Undertaking"

*Supernatural - Season 2 is seeming to be better than Season 1. The tone has gotten lighter, as well as the lighting and picture. There's some jokes here and there that keeps everything from getting too serious. Haven't exactly watched that much of Season 2 but I hope to get further in the coming week.

*The Crazy Ones - This show is super hilarious. I love the actors and hope it gets picked up for a second season. I love the bloopers that give at the end of every episode. I seriously do need to catch up though and hope that I will very soon.

*Arrow - I fell in love with this show and I fell for it hard! I love everything about it, the characters, the story, everything! I love all the little hints to other DC characters that they give and hopefully I can catch up on Season 2 so I can watch it weekly. My love for this show is so strong that it leaves me speechless.
