The 2015 Post

I can't really believe that it's 2015. Maybe time is speeding up or something. Wasn't it 2013 a few weeks ago? But, whether I believe it or not, today is actually the first day of 2015. Soon I am going to be 16 years old. 16 YEARS OLD. If I were not blind, I would be able to get my driver's license.

2014 was a pretty good year for me. I read tons of great books and discovered TV shows for the first time. I can't believe I didn't watch any TV shows before 2014. Hopefully I will discover even more awesome fictional worlds in 2015. This post is dedicated to everything that I am looking forward to in the coming year organized by month.

NOTE: This post has been update since I first posted it.

January:
  • How to Get Away with Murder series 1 part 2: With the amazing ending of the first part of series one, I can't wait to see more episodes.
  • The 100 series 2 part 2: The 100 is a great TV show. The ending of the last episode was heart breaking and I need more episodes right now. I don't know when in 2015 they'll be coming.
  • Fairest: I am almost more excited about the prequel to the Lunar Chronicles series than I am excited about the last book in the series, Winter. Queen Levana is one of my favourite villains.
  • The Darkest Part of the Forest: I'm super excited to read Holly Black's new fantasy standalone.
February:
  • Red Queen: This is that first book in a fantasy trilogy by a debut and it sounds promising.
  • City of Savages: This is a science fiction book by a debut author and it sounds fascinating.
March:
  • Insurgent (movie): I enjoyed the first Divergent movie, and I hope the second one will be good as well.
  • Shadow Scale: I am eagerly awaiting the sequel to the awesome book Seraphina.
  • The Winner's Crime: The Winner's Curse, the first book in a trilogy, came out last year and it was great. I can't wait to read the sequel.
April:
  • Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda: This is a book by a debut author. I usually don't read realistic fiction, but this book sounds adorable.
  • The Girl at Midnight: This is another book by a debut author and it sounds interesting.
  • An Ember in the Ashes: This debut is getting so much hype that I obviously have to read it.
May:
  • PS. I Still Love You: This is the sequel to one of the only realistic fiction books I read last year, To All the Boys I've Loved Before.
  • A Court of Thorns and Roses: This is the first book in a brand new series by Sarah J. Maas. It's by Sarah J. Maas. Of course I'm going to read it.
June:
  • Paper Towns (movie): I enjoyed The Fault in our Stars movie, and I'm excited to see Paper Towns, especially because it's my favourite John Green book. 
  • The Witch Hunter: This is yet another fantasy debut book coming out this year.
  • The Book of Spirits and Thieves: This is the first book in a companion series to the Falling Kingdoms series and I can't wait to read it.
August:
  • The Fate of Ten: The fifth book of the Lorien Legacies was better than I expected. I am awaiting the sixth and (possibly) final book in the series.
September:
  • Queen of Shadows: The third book in the Throne of Glass series was amazing and I need the fourth book right now.
  • The Copper Gauntlet: The first book in the Magisterium series was better than I expected and had a surprising ending. I want to read the second book to find out what happens next.
  • Walk on Earth a Stranger: This is the first book in a new series by Rae Carson. I love Rae Carson, so I'm definitely going to read it.
  • The Last Star: The 5th Wave is one of my favourite series ever and I can not wait for the last book.
October:
  • The Sword of Summer: While The Blood of Olympus wasn't as good as I hoped it would be, I'm still excited to read the first book in Rick Riordan's new series.
  • The Rose Society: The Young Elites was one of my favourite books of 2014, and after an interesting epilogue, I can't wait for the next book.
  • The Immortal Heights: The Burning Sky and The Perilous Sea were both fantastic. I can't wait to read the third book in the Elemental trilogy.
  • Six of Crows: This is the first book in a new series set in the world of the Grisha Trilogy.
November:
  • Mockinjay Part 2: The Hunger Games movies are some of my favourite book to movie adaptations. I am really looking forward to the final movie.
  • Winter: The fourth and final book in the Lunar Chronicles series is highly anticipated by many people, including me.
  • Soundless: I'm honestly not a huge fan of the Vampire Academy series (it's not my genre), but I am going to read this because it sounds fascinating.
December
  • Frozen Tides: I love the Falling Kingdoms series and I am excited to read the fourth book.
Things Without a Specific Date (Yet):
  • Doctor Who series 9: After an awesome Christmas special, I'm dying to see more Doctor Who. Unfortunately I'll probably have to wait a while.
CHANGES TO THIS BLOG IN 2015:

I am planning on making several changes to this blog in the coming year. First, I will be posting one post at the end of each month summarizing all the books I read and the movies and TV shows I watched in that month. I'm tired of making random "updates" posts. These new monthly updates posts will not include a few select books/movies/TV shows that I want to write individual reviews for.

Second, I will probably be posting less often (though I hope to post at least once a week). To make up for posting less often, most of my posts will probably be long.

Third, I am currently working on cleaning up this blog. When I started it, I never expected to keep going with it for this long and I also never suspected that anyone would actually read what I write. Surprisingly, this blog actually gets more than 100 views a day. I'm not sure how that happened. Anyway, I figured that if people are actually reading my blog, maybe I should try to make it interesting. Many of the things I posted when I first began this blog are either uninteresting or unrelated to the topic of this blog. Some of my old posts are honestly so embarrassing that I don't want anyone to ever see them again. I've been looking back at my old posts and deleting the worst ones. I'm also editing some of the better ones (I made so many spelling mistakes). As well as cleaning up my old posts, I'm attempting to create better and more interesting posts now.

Thank you so much to anyone who actually reads this blog. You mean a lot to me. You are also welcome to comment on my posts because I love talking to people who have similar interests.

  1. You're blind? I had no idea! Wow that's, I don't know like I'm sorry, that's probably not the right thing to say. Sorry if this came off as rude. I just never would have guessed!

    1. Don't worry, you're totally not being rude. I am legally blind. The term "blind" tends to confuse people. I can see, but not very well. I can read books and I can use the computer, but I won't be able to drive. Basically, I'm really, really near-sighted, and it can't be corrected with glasses. Many people who know me in real life often forget that I am technically blind, since I can function pretty normally indoors. I have more difficulty seeing outdoors, because, as well as having very bad distance vision, my eyes are extremely sensitive to light. This means that if I'm in a setting that has very bright light, it's quite difficult to see. Because of this, I always wear sun glasses outdoors.

    2. Wow that's crazy! Glad you're not 100% blind though!

  2. Also I'm sad you won't be updating as much this year! And I totally get what you mean! It still feels like 2012.
