Wibbly Wobbly Wednesdays is a new feature on this blog where we talk about any book that has something to do with the concept of time. The book may be about time travel, set in the past or future, or just has a bizarre timeline. If you are a Whovian, you know what we're talking about! :)

Forever Layla by Melissa Turner Lee


Title: Forever Layla
Author: Melissa Turner Lee
Publisher: AltWit Press
Publication Date: May 27, 2014
Hardcopy: 170 pages

What if the woman you envied most is the person you are destined to become?

In 1994, high school senior David Foster was the lackey and soundboard geek for his best friend's grunge band. During spring break, the band lands a dream gig playing at a motel in Myrtle Beach, SC. David expected all the girls to ogle the guys on stage, but when a beautiful blond "Bond Girl" approaches him and calls him by name, he's shocked to find out she knows more about him than a stranger should.

She even knows about his notebooks and his visions of time travel.

What she thought was a quick time-travel-sightseeing trip takes a surprising turn when she meets the young adult version of the man she'd heard stories about as a child. His fairy-tale romance with the woman he'd loved, Layla, inspired her to accept nothing less than a love just as strong...but hopefully not as tragic. When she won't tell the younger version of him her name, he calls her Layla--and the world as she knows it changes forever. 

We decided to pick Forever Layla for our Wibbly Wobbly Wednesdays because Beryl is reading it right now and so far, she really likes it. Also, the plot, aside from the time travel, seems very unique. We decided to share this book with you guys so you can love this book as much as we do.

So, that's our Wibbly Wobbly Wednesdays! What did you think about it? Leave a comment!

What We Normally Do on a Random Saturday (Beryl & Audrey)

activities
As you all know we're sisters, which means we live together, sleep together, get to annoy each other, dance together and all that jazz. That also means that  we can easily document whatever the other is doing. And we definitely have a routine. In this post, we will be showing you guys what we do on a normal Saturday. Basically, it's a day in our lives blog post. 

Let's start with when we wake up.
9:30 to 9:45- Obviously this is when we wake up. Since it's our summer vacation, we sleep past midnight, and wake up late. We wouldn't be up by this time if we weren't going out. Yes, we are lazy creatures. There is no denying this fact.

9:45 to 10:00- Beryl allots this time checking out notifications, instagram, twitter, pageviews and comments. Meanwhile, Audrey spends this time lying down, wrapped in the blankets like a burritto, wishing that it was night again.

10:00 to 10:30- It's breakfast time!!! YAY. We eat whatever's on the table, providing it's edible.

10:30 to 11:00-  Beryl usually uses half of this time to lie down again and the other half picking out her clothes for the day. Audrey uses this time to read on her iPad and wait impatiently until Beryl is finished picking out her clothes so that she can pick out her own.

11:00 to 11:45: Beryl takes a bath for around 15 minutes. After taking a bath, she does whatever her weird mind directs her to. Audrey takes a 30-minute bath because she prides herself on being clean and smelling good not because she's just slow and wants to irritate people. Obviously, Audrey wrote this part. And she does not regret anything.

11:45 to 12:00- Um, we lie down again? I don't really know what we do at this time. Seriously no idea. Maybe a wizard is robbing us of our memories or something. Why would they be robbing us of our memories, you ask? Well, maybe, they're taking us to their secret world and showing us their magic way. But then why would they take our memories if they take the time to show us their ways, you wonder? Well, we haven't gotten that far yet.

12:00 to 12:45- Food time again!! We LOOOVVEEEEE food. 

12:45 to 5:00- It's either we watch tv series all day, lie down all day, sleep all day, go the grocery or mall. We don't know if it's just us, but we love going to groceries because we get to buy food. HAHA. Who doesn't love food? 

5:00 to 6:00- Watching YouTube videos. Recently we've been addicted to YouTube. There are a lot of great YouTubers. ( Tyler Oakley, Troye Sivan, Zoella, Caspar Lee, Joe Sugg, Alfie, Joey Graceffa, etc...) Basically, their gang. I wish there was a vidcon in Manila. Comment down below your favorite YouTubers! =) 

6:00 to 7:00: DINNERRR. WEEEEEE. They say that you should eat a lot during breakfast, but we're the complete opposite. We love dinner time, and that's the time we eat a LOT. Which will probably lead to us getting fat, but whatever.

7:00 to 8:00- We shower. Again. Because we are addicted to being clean and also because this is what people normally do. We bloggers are not so different. We eat and sleep and go grocery shopping. Just like you guys.

8:00 to 10:00- This is the time when we start panicking about what we'll post today (well, Beryl panics and Audrey watches her tv series). This is also the time when we start thinking to ourselves: If only we'd done this earlier, we wouldn't have to do it now when all we wanna do is watch our tv shows/read our favorite books. Usually, Beryl figures out what we need to do and tells Audrey to do it while Audrey glares at her for making her stop watching her show.

10:00 to 10:30- We'll publish the blog post around this time and share it so that people know we exist. We then wonder what we will post tomorrow but won't really think of anything because by this time, our brains will be useless jelly.

10:30 to11:00- We reply to emails and see if there are any comments awaiting moderation. That's like a fancy way if saying: "Do you approve of this statement, master?" We're not making sense, are we?

11:00 to 12:00- Audrey resumes watching her tv series. Beryl continues watching youtube videos and laughing to herself like a crazy lady. 

12:00 to Whatever- Well, we sleep again and dream about bunnies and marshmallows and chocolate and stuff. Although, Audrey hasn't dreamt of anything in a long while. Is that an indication that something bad's gonna happen? I hope not.

So that's our day! We think we left out the toothbrush-ing and... other things. We definitely do that but we're pretty sure that no one wants to know about that so be grateful that we have spared you from this horrible fate.

What did you think about our totally normal day? Anything you wanna say? Just leave a comment!

ALSO, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR OVER A HUNDRED FOLLOWERS. THANK YOU.

Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine's Peculiar Children, # 1)Title: Miss Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children
Author: Ransom Riggs
Publisher:Quirk
Hardcover: 348 pages
Synopsis (via Goodreads):
A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs.

It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.

A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.

We read this a while back and just remembered that this book actually had time travel in it. We decided that it would be perfect if we used this book for the Wibbly Wobbly Wednesdays feature this week. Not only was it creepy, it also had cool time travel portions. We admit that it was quite awkward to realize that the love interest in this story was also the love interest of the grandfather but we just try to ignore that as much as possible. Anyway, we really enjoyed the parts about time travel and how the past was shown.

The Real Reasons Why I Don't Like Wearing Watches

annoying tick tock sound

Okay, I know you're wondering "Kimi, how can you NOT LIKE WEARING WATCHES??? Is this for real???" Well, this is for real, and I really don't like wearing watches, and I have my reasons - and you can find them further into this post.

So I have a friend who just hates the fact that I don't wear a watch. She just thinks it isn't normal for me to not wear a watch, and it annoys her how I have to open my phone just to check the time. And so, I feel like it is imperative for me to justify why I do not like wearing watches, and why I think it's best for me to not wear a watch. I'm not saying I don't like WATCHES, I actually like them, I just don't like WEARING them.

Oh and I'm not convincing anyone that wearing watches is not good, I'm just explaining my own preference of not wanting to wear watches. So without further ado, the reasons:

1. Wrist suffocation
