Things to accomplish in a short period of time:

  • Shop for school supplies
  • Seriously learn how to pick a lock (this is an important skill mind you!)
  • Buy a new tube of mascara (waterproof please!)

  • Get back to reading Mein Kampf (Hitler intrigues me)
  • Go Booksale shopping (love cheap books!)
  • Blog! Blog! Blog
As you can see my list of  things to do are quite trivial, however they're not even half of what I need to finish asap.  Let's not get started with a long term goals list PLEASE!! 

A Vixen's Reads: My Booklist


If anyone would pay attention to my book collection, it would be easy to conclude that I dig World War II genres.  I find that era fascinating, heart wrenching and exciting all at the same time.  My term paper back in high school, if I remember it right, was about the cruelties of that war.  Although I get horrified in reading holocaust tales, my interest and curiosity progresses exponentially.  I even got my self a hard copy of Hitler's Mein Kampf just to pick his brain.  

Not to make this post longer than it would be, I present my minuscule but fairly filling collection written in my ghastly handwriting!
