Sincerely, Sara | Style & Books: Watch | Read

February is looking to be a good month for movies and books! There are A TON of books I want to read that are coming out in the next few weeks. Since one of my goals is to read all of the books I already have, I only preordered one of them (The Forbidden Wish), but I'd be okay with an anonymous benefactor buying me all of them! *wink wink*
