What is MLHarper22 up to?
Hey all! So, instead of just waiting for you guys to comment, I decided to just throw together this post with what I am up to on my OTHER Wattpad account, MLHarper22.
The covers above are only a smidgen of what I have posted on MLHarper22. I shall take great care to explain each story, along with their cover. Let's get started!!!
Country and City series
Is my Little House on the Prairie fan-fictions. I use all the original characters from the TV series (and the books) but add my own characters as well. The first cover is the book I had completed two years ago, and only recently I have decided to continue the series.
The Roleplay
As the cover implies, yes, this book was a finalist in the 2013 WattyAwards! This book is a crossover-fan-fiction, and I wrote while going through my Alex Pettyfer/Justin Bieber/Nick Jonas phase of my teen years. Yes, this book is that OLD. I had written it when I was 14 years old, and had deleted it, but then re-uploaded it to enter it into the Wattys2013. Learning that this book was a finalist gave me the confident boost I needed to keep writing. I had thought I sucked at writing and was ready to give it up. Thank goodness, I didn't, and look at me now!
Genetic X
Was my first "paranormal-ish" book, and I have not gone back to recreate any more such writings. This book was written during the Twilight hype, and I was trying to be the cool girl who could create something similar, without bringing actual vampires/werewolves into play. I call my characters Shape Shifters. I made this quite clear when I posted the story, and I completed this book . . . last year. I still have the notebook I wrote it in, and I plan to make it better, when given proper time.
My Dear Emma
Sherlock Holmes Fan-Fiction/Romance
Yes, I went as far as writing a fan-fiction from one of my favorite books. Using my knowledge of the original story, and the twisted movie plot(s), I came up with a story that I quite enjoy. I have not finished it yet, but I am just waiting for the right time to get to work on it again.
My One Direction fan-fictions!! Now, all of these are complete, with the exception of It Takes Two, because I started posting that book only a few months ago. Eighteen was written for a contest, the week that Zayn Malik left the band. So, yeah, that would explain why it is quite . . . dark.
Other than that, my 1D fan-fictions are quite popular, from what I can tell. My readers on that account are very quiet, unless they leave me a ♥ comment, or something. The Mommy Direction was inspired by a few things, but I shall not elaborate on it.
My very first short stories!!!! So, yes, that would be the reason why the pen-name is different. I experimented pen-names until I found one I liked. Hadassah Harper. All remain unedited, to show my progress in writing.
Well, hope you enjoyed this post! You can click HERE if you wish to read any of them. God bless and see ya soon!

More Books!!!!!
So, I just got back from a car trip, and I have been bugging to get this post going. I received three more books in the mail!! xD One of which was The Healer's Apprentice by Melanie Dickerson. Since getting The Twelve Dancing Princesses by Jenni James, I have bugging with impatience for this book to arrive.
I also received The Kindness by Polly Samson, and the cover is beautiful! I expected it to be paperback, but its a hardback. So, a win-win situation.
The third book I received is an ARC from Harper Elixir, called Persephone Rising: Awakening the heroine within, by Carol S. Pearson, PH.D. It's for modern-day women, and it tells Greek myth and something like that.
My dad also bought me a much needed mouse for my laptop, so that is also a plus. I am expecting my Amazon package to arrive this weekend, or next week.
I just checked my email, and the SYTYCW team has replied to some of my questions. I'm pumped and set to go!
I just received an email confirming my request to read I Am Titanium by John Patrick Kennedy. . . I signed up for this review copy before learning that I won the e-book. But that's okay, I can still do the review. It does not need to be up live until . . . Oct. 10th, so I've got plenty of time to read that one.
Well, that's all for now. I am just going to finish my dinner and prepare my next review layout, because I've still got 8 books I need to finish. (I did not do any typing today, but I think that is alright, because the other time I did the 4.5k, I took a whole two days off.)
Lots of love! Ciao!

8 Books Before The End Of September? What?
"First we're in a blender, now we're saving lives? What?" (Dually quoted from the movie about two old guys who want to work at Google)
I am writing this post the night before, because there are some guests outside the window, playing a board game with some of my siblings, and I know that I am going to get to bed late. Iwill probably add more in the morning anyways.
Anyways, I did not realize how many books I had to read before a deadline in September. I thought I had four or five, not eight! I mean, I keep finding new ones in my email when I check in the morning. I am quite forgetful when it comes to what books I request to read, because half the time I expect not to be selected to read them! I had to pull off all of Jenni James' books so that I did not overwhelm my currently reading list on Goodreads. I read one, but it only goes so far. (Added later - make that 9 books)
I was right, I would be adding more to this post this morning. I am just enjoying my sandwich (runny egg and avocado. don't till you try it) and I'm tired. The game from last night lasted until around 11pm.
I've gotta get a head-start on those books. Keep an eye open for my book blog. I've got some cool posts coming up! Ciao!

Working On Other Stories
Because I am typing Scarred Hearts in my laptop, I am unable to work on it with pen and paper. So, to pass the time, leading up to now, I chose to work on a story that I have not touched in six months.
My story, Strong, is about a young woman who is falsely accused and sent to a detention center, and how she must keep her eye on God. This story is not my baby-baby, but it holds a spot in my heart. Because the topic I chose to write for the plot is based on an experience a friend of mine went through. I will go into great detail about it, as it is not something I choose to talk about, but the plot is for a more mature audience. Due to the fact that I chose to mention the use of drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, and one of the characters makes brief mentions of innuendo. I do NOT write about such topics, but I felt it was necessary for this story. I still keep my distance from going to extremes with my writing, so I don't think it would really be too mature.
I made a new cover for this story, though I do not have much plan to update it during the #SYTYCW15. I want to use the majority of my time to work on Scarred Hearts to have it finished by the deadline, in September. I'm on a roll, and I can see me finishing it in time.
I got a few more books that I have to read this month, which I had requested before entering #SYTYCW15 on Wattpad. I managed to stop reading three, one of which I was reading to give feedback to the author before it gets published, and the other that is for a book tour in September. The one for the tour I put down. I will explain more in my review, so I don't give it away too early.
I may have taken on more than I can chew, but I am determined to do it all! xD Call it self-motivation to finish the massive plate of food that is set before me,though I am a lady and I tend to have some manners. (Will-I-Am would like that metaphor LOL)
Anyways, I've got some more typing to do. I am nearing 3k words for this chapter. Count your blessing people. You don't know how lucky you are until you start losing them bit by bit. God bless you. Ciao!

TRAILER IS DONE!
Good morning special people! So, I found some really good clips, mostly of what I was looking for, and I managed to pull together a nice trailer. It will have to do for now. I am satisfied for now, and I shall continue to seek a trailer maker on Wattpad. I actually prefer to have more than one, because each trailer maker will get their work show-cased, and I like the different styles.
Anyways, I am actually writing this post the night before, because I did not know if the trailer would be uploaded before midnight. YouTube goes somewhat slow, but I am hoping the updates added speedy uploading.
The trailer will be posted below. It might not work at first. Do not fret, that is probably because it did not finish processing/uploading yet.

Good evening lovely readers!
I am just sitting at the dinner table, headphone on high, blasting my writing playlist (currently playing Tay Swiftie's Wildest Dreams), whilst coming up with bonus chapters for my book Scarred Hearts. Because this is the story I entered in to the #SYTYCW Harlequin contest on Wattpad. I just want to see how well it does in the competition. I would like to see how high it goes. If I get to the top thirty, or even the top twenty, I will be satisfied. I was a Wattys2013 finalist, so I am pretty confident about this story going pretty far.
I am trying to get Scarred Hearts up to 50-55k words. Today, alone, I was able to write 1k words, which is more than I normally do in three days. I am going to try and make the bonus chapters 3-4k words. Or even 5k words, which would be better. So, that means the story is going to go on, with more events that lead up to the epilogue. I am going to post the bonus chapters (bonus in the title and the chapter number in parenthesis) in between the last chapter I posted and the epilogue.
Guys, I have such great plans for the Rescued book. I edited it, somewhat, and I am working to get the third installment written so that you can read it before the complete book starts posting.
Guys, to be honest, I would probably only publish my books to put them on my personal bookshelf. I write what I want to read, so it would make sense. ;)
Well, that is all for today. I hope you are all in good health. God bless you, you're beautiful, and I will see you all tomorrow! Ciao!

Headache Hangover
Now I know what you are thinking, but that is not what it is.
I went to bed with a harsh headache and now I am sort of suffering the ending parts of it. Not to mention one of my brothers is blowing up the pool with this awful machine that makes a horrible, high-pitched zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz noise. So, imagine an elephant sitting on the side of your head, and that sound is creating an atomic bomb-like feeling in your head. Can envision it? Let me help.

See it now?
Well, that is all I am going to post for now. I just want to go eat and drink a bucket of water. I will see you all later. Don't forget to check out my recent post on my book blog!

My Writing Goals And Other Things You Did Not Know About Me - Prepare For A LONG Post. (Part Two)
. . . I know that I have two . . . okay, three stories that I have written, I based one of the characters after a very good friend of mine. I will not put names, but this friend knows about this. Anyways, I know that I based these character on this friend, but I did not realize I had done it until after I was finished with those stories. I only started to take notice of those characters (in particular) when I went back to read my accomplishment and I ended up saying to myself: "Wow, that sounds very much like so and so!" I later learned why I had done it without thinking, and I will not go into that, because it just will bring up some old things that should remain buried.
I often say that Wattpad is my escape. I like the feeling logging in and looking to see what's new, and I love decorating my profile (which I have not done in a while, because I am pretty happy with my current icon and header over there).
I continuously mention that I am dyslexic. Well, let me just say that it took a lot LONGER to write this second part than it did to write the first part. And I thought it would have more details. But anywho, I don't care.
I also would like to share a book trailer I just watched (Harry Styles *sigh*) The girl who did it is AMAZING! Check it out -

I am close to tears, this was so amazingly edited, and I wish I had such skills. I used to make my own book trailers, but my video editor sucks, so I had to stop. If I decided to use the program again, my laptop would die, literally. But I just added that story to my Wattpad library so that I can read it.
Well, if I have sudden urge to post a fourth time, you know I will. See you all next time. And don't forget to watch that trailer. ♥♥♥

More Books! More Carbs!
So . . . . . I am sitting at the dining table, in my usual spot, eating a HUGE bowl of pesto-pasta! xD Girl has gotta eat her calories, let me tell you. I have to eat A LOT just to get through the day. If you thought I said my dyslexia was bad, hypoglycemia is neither worse, nor better. Let me just say that I never actually believed that I had either of those things, and I still don't let myself believe it. God has been faithful to me and my family, my entire life. Why should I doubt that He will not be faithful now? Exactly.
I've got more book blitzes to post tomorrow, so keep an eye open for those. I've also got some new reviews coming up. If you would like to see my reading progress, follow my reviews on Goodreads.
I update my reading status often, and you will see how I react to EVERYTHING. I had very funny reactions to the recent book I was reading (Everealm - Everealm #1). For those of you who did not catch it, the gifs I had posted a couple days ago? The ones I was using to fantasize about certain book characters/scenes? Yeah, those were for this book. For an adult-fantasy, I quite enjoyed it.
Speaking of books I enjoy, I dare you to CLICK HERE, and I double-dare you to CLICK HERE.
*sneaky grin*
Oh! I won another book today. I will not go into detail, because I have to go mop the floors . . .
Also, CLICK HERE. I LITERALLY just stumbled onto this, and I learned something very cool
I will see you again next time! Ciao, and God bless! ♥
P.S. I just received another cool book tour-ish email for tomorrow so . .. Yeah.

A Post From My Bed? #SorryNotSorry
So, this is going to be kind of odd, but I am still in my bed. Not feeling totally 100% awesome today. I will not go into detail, because who wants to know why my stomach decided to choose today of all days to pull jokes? I'm not going into it!
I just received an email from one of my favorite bloggers, and I won a print copy of The Kindness by Polly Samson! xD (Click the Books a la mode button in the sidebar to be taken to Karielle's blog)
So that makes . . . nine . . . Yeah, I think nine giveaways I've won. Please let me know if you do not want to hear about this subject anymore. I am not trying to sound . . . . you know. It's just very exciting and I feel like sharing it with you guys, because I have run out of people to tell at home.
Which brings me to the next subject. In my house, if you say something to one person, the entire house has heard it within ten minutes. If you whisper: So and so is coming tomorrow "Who's coming tomorrow?!" is the question shouted from the other side of the house. Good luck keeping secrets in this family.
AND GUESS WHAT ELSE! I am on the run for a Barnes&Noble $25 GC, and I have a good feeling that I will be a winner. And guess what I found for cheep and in my budget on B&N!? The Books of the Infinite by R.J. Larson!!!

#SYTYCW "I HAVE TO DO THIS!!"
Okay, so I've only just learning about this! Wattpad is partnering with HarlequinPub for the anual SYTYCW (So You Think You Can Write) contest, and the grand prize is a two-book publishing contract!!!! xD
There is a category that would be perfect for one of my stories, so I will be attempting to add a few more chapters. I will not say which one, but I am at 33k+ words in this story, so I just have to work up to 50k! That's not going to be that hard . . . I think . . . BUT I HAVE TO DO THIS! I love HarlequinPub, I have read some of the books they published and I just love everything that is going on! Yes, massive freak-out happening right now, and I can barely contain it enough to type this post!
I am losing it! I have to enter this contest! I feel like I would lose my mind if I didn't! . . . . Okay, I will tell you the story I want to enter. Prepare for cover extravaganza!

Technically this story is entered in the #Wattys2015, but I am thinking that if I get to a high level in the #SYTYCW contest, I will pull out of the Wattys. I feel it in my gut to enter this, and I don't want to pass this up. Imagine this story in print or e-book format! I think I would like it in print, but e-book it cool too! *SIGH* Okay, I think I got it out of my system . . . ALMOST! I totally forgot to mention this!! If I were to win, I would ask to have the Rescued series published! I better get a move on with that! Starting with posting it in one book on Wattpad. Which I am going to go do right now. I am just going to have it in drafts and slowly make the reveal.
Okay, now I'm done. :)
Characters In My Head . . . But From What Books? #BooksFeels #Fangirling
So, I think it is alright to say that I have quite a few books that I am reviewing in the next month. I am not sure if I am allowed to share them, so I am just going to post some gifs of actors who I see playing some of the characters, in my head. I will not say who they play, nor will I say which book, I will just put the gifs.
Well, those are all I will make you look at . . . Okay, just one more because the book I am reading is flooding me with feels!
 |
| Nicholas Hoult is bae! |
 |
| Just a random first kiss in one of the books . . . |
 |
| The queen is learning that her first love remains in her heart . . . |
Well, those are all I will make you look at . . . Okay, just one more because the book I am reading is flooding me with feels!

"You Are A Winner!" Part Two
Okay, I was telling myself I would not post anymore today, but . . . . .
You probably guessed what I am about to say, but I will tell you anyway. I just won another giveaway! $15 iTunes GC. Hey, it will be nice to have a little spending $$ for iTunes, which I never had before today. :)
I got in contact with the author who wrote the blog post for the $25 Amazon GC, and the author who is supposed to get in contact with me, and I cleared my confusion about something . . . It was something dumb, and I am a little embarrassed. But anyways, he will be contacting me soon and will instruct me how to get my prizes. Which is right on time, because my cart on Amazon has come to just under $25 - $24.94 to be exact, and the total kept going down, so I was able to add another book.
I will definitely be filming an actual video when I get all these books in my hands. Here are the books I am getting from Amazon: I am purchasing these books use, but they are in great condition, and I don't mind.
You probably guessed what I am about to say, but I will tell you anyway. I just won another giveaway! $15 iTunes GC. Hey, it will be nice to have a little spending $$ for iTunes, which I never had before today. :)

The Acts of Faith ser. by Davis Bunn & Janette Oke
Now, I own The Centurion's Wife on my Kindle app, but I have not gotten to read it, because this is one of those books I would prefer to read from a print copy. So, when I saw that this book was on sale for cheap, I had to get it, and I added the rest of the books from the series so that I could move on to the next book when I finish. Each of these books are set back in the Bible days, and they all follow the time when our Lord, Jesus, walked the earth.
Between the Lines by Jodi Picoult & Samantha Van Leer
I have been hearing SO MUCH about Off the Pages, and I felt that I should read this book before getting that one. Which is at Costco. near my house.
The Well: Living Waters series by Stephanie Landsem
This is only the first book in the series, but I read up on the plot, and it is so INTRIGUING! As you can see, I love Christian/Historical Fictions, and this one is set around the time that Jesus spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well, and everything that happened after that encounter. So I am super excited to read it.
As you can see, I pretty much have a theme of the books I am getting with all my giveaway winnings(CLICK HERE to see the other books I am getting). If I get some cash from my parents, I will be getting the other books in the Living Waters series, and The Books of the Infinite series, by R.J. Larson. I was actually going to get R.J. Larson's books at the beginning, but the company on Amazon that was selling them does not ship to Puerto Rico*. Anyways, I am going to try and get my hands on those book the next time I have over fifty bucks in my hand, because even used copies of those books are a little pricey for my island.
*Puerto Rico. This little invisible island has so much bad rep to the States, and it's not very fair. We are not eligible for so many things for so long. But over the past year, I have noticed that things have changed a little bit. For instance, I did not think the Book Depository would give PR free shipping. THEY DO. Which is EPIC, because I was looking at their prices, and they are better than what I expected, especially for newer books.
I'm done babbling. Keep an eye open for more posts tomorrow. Look at my review blog. You know the drill. Lots of new content coming soon!

100 BLOG POSTS!
Well, I did it! I have made to 100 blog posts!
I could not think of anything to do for this post, so I resolved to change the theme of my blog, and "upgrade" the layout a little bit. Notice my lovely pages in the header? Is the shade of blue not the prettiest you have ever seen? Also, notice there is a page linked to the magazine blog? I think I mentioned that before . . . right? Whatever, check it out anyways.
Anyways, I added all of my links, and a few extras (and adding more as I go along). I literally spent an hour or so pulling all of it together, to fit who I am as a blogger. I felt it was necessary, instead adding all my links at the end of my blog posts, which I had stopped doing a while back.
Well, here it is. My 100th post. Not very extravagant, when you think about it. However, spicing up the theme did help me to celebrate. So that counts.
I hope you are all well, and see you all next time! Ciao!

This Day Just Took An Awesome Turn!
So, I did not think I was going to post anything else today, but this is just too cool to not to post about it.
I just found out that I am the winner of another giveaway! \o/ I literally was just checking my email, and the email notification showed up! So, I have two books that will be coming to me, within the next couple of weeks, or so. I fell out of my chair after reading it. I thought that giveaway had already ended, and the winner chosen. I haven't even checked up on that giveaway in weeks. SO, here are the books I may be getting:

The Healer's Apprentice
by Melanie Dickerson
I have heard GOOD things about this book. It has been on my wishlist since the day I heard of it. I love that it is Christian/Historical Fiction. That genre is me bae! (IDK if that is the first time I actually said that. . .) I watch the book trailer twice a week, because it is so beautiful, and its just something I want in my hands. ♥
The next book follows a similar theme, but because it is also a faerie tale re-telling.
The Twelve Dancing Princesses
by Jenni James
I actually already read a third of this book (thanks to Wattpad.com), and I have been following Jenni James forever. I read one of her first books (Beauty and the Beast) before it was even published. I was so upset when that book was taken down, because that was right when I was reaching the mid-point. I now own an E-copy of that book, and I have been wanting to get my hands on more of her books. I am getting there. I now have. . . . three (3). Four, if I start counting this one.
Well, that was another one of my brain-fart moments. I just had to get this out of my system to someone, anyone. Thank you for reading, and see you all VERY soon!
Girl Needs to WRITE!
Hey guys, its been a slow writing day for me. My laptop upgraded so everything is acting a little ka-pooky, and it has been freezing randomly when I have more than one flash-drive connected. So, I have not done anything to work on updates yet.
I will say that I have been busy reading a series for my review blog. If you are interested in knowing what those books will be, check my review blog tomorrow morning, because that is when I will be posting the first review. I have one more book to read in the series, and I am waiting to see if I can read the next one (if I can get a copy of it). The strange thing about it is that this is a book series I would have never picked up before this past week. My reading preferences has expanded slightly, and I have been keeping an open mind about it, just because the covers are what intrigued me most. The descriptions were interesting, but I did not realize exactly what it meant until I actually started to read the book(s). So, that just goes to show that I should have been a little more informed of what I was getting into. In the end, I got a set of free books. Good on all accounts. I still have my personal restrictions when it comes to reading, but now it all depends on whether I think I would like the book or now.
I don't know how many of you have been following me since the beginning, but as you guys know I have a second Wattpad account, where I post stories that are not Christian-based. That is where all of my non-Christian fan-fictions are. I do keep them to a safer degree of writing than most non-Christian stories, because I do fold in prayers and other Christian content, without adding too much. Because all the people that read those stories just . . . I won't talk about it. But that is one of my reasons for having two accounts. I do not know if I will continue with my previous plans for those other stories. I think that once I get them finished, I will jut leave them up, but not post new content.
I have big plans for the Rescued series, like I keep saying, and I mentioned on Wattpad last night a little bit about that. If you missed the message, here it is again -

OKAY! VOTE TIME! This is going to have massive impact on posting schedule I have laid out for Falling Slowly. You, my lovely readers, will have a say in this: I have more than half of the letters written, some are already typed into drafts. What I want to know is: 1) Should I wait for the rest of the letters to be in drafts before posting the first one? 2) Should I start posting and add the letters as they are typed (the way I have done with the other stories)? 3) Should I wait for all the letters to be in drafts, and post them all in one go? COMMENT below what you think I should do. I value, and appreciate, your feedback. This will be a massive help to me, so I am asking that you pause and take the time to help me with this. Thank you. :) ♥
If I can get some outside help on making this decision, I would truly appreciate it. If no one gives their opinion, I will just go forward with what I think will work best for me.
Thank you so much guys! See you all tomorrow!

YA CRAZY!
Okay, I officially l♥ve YA books! I mean, as long as the books stay revolving around where I am comfortable, I will read them! I have noticed quite a turn in my reading references, and I am slowly adjusting to it. Currently, I have been reading quite a few paranormal romances (yes, me; can you believe it?), and that is not a genre I expected to be interested in. I mean, I have been trying to expand my reading into other genres, but I am still quite picky. I try not to be picky, but it is just because of my upbringing, and I am okay with that.
Anyways, back to the YA-train. I've been really into YA reading lately, and I would like to officially thank YA Bound Book Tours for getting me hooked!
No, I was not put up to this. This is coming from the ♥ Click any one of the buttons above, and check out both blogs. YA Bound Book Tours, I have visiting their blog (first button) every other day to see if there are any new book tours in which I might be interested in participating. Yes, their blog is dedicated to YA novels, of almost every kind. I try to not join every single tour, because there is the possibility that I won't be able to make the deadline(s), so I stick to, maybe, two and three at a time. Provided they do not take place all in the same week.
Please look at my review blog, I post a new review every 2-3 days, and I sometimes post more than once a day, depending on how much content I have to share. Click the button below to visit my review blog.

"You Are A Winner!"
So, last night I was browsing around all of my Net bookmarks, when I came across a giveaway I had been entering every single day for a month. I won! Well, I am one of the several winners. Here is a screen-shot of the BIG prize list (because there were more on the list, but these were the bigger prizes). I blacked out the names of the other winners.
Now, I did not notice this until a moment ago, but I spelled my name wrong in one of the entries that is what Haddasah H. looks a little strange, LOL.
For the past twelve hours (with the exception of sleeping for nine hours), I have been pulling together a cart FULL of books to spend the $25 A. Gift Card on, for when the gift card is sent to me, which will be this week. Which means I can film an Book Unboxing/Haul video? Hmm . .
Also, to top the AWESOME day off . . . well not really. My mom and I are going to bring the "unclaimed" puppies to the mall to find homes for them. (My dad already had a home for 4 puppies, and then 8 came, which we were not expecting.) I have not spoken about them in a while, but I guess I was grieving? I love dog and puppies, and I do NOT want to give any of them away. BUT I live in a very LARGE household, and we already have the three BIGGER dogs.
Well, that is all I am going to say for now. I have to go change out of PJ's so that I can leave. Blessing to you all, and I will see you later! Ciao!
