BEA 2016: wrap-up and giveaway!

I had been ready for BEA since the day I heard of its existence. It was June 4th, 2013, and I was (most likely) sitting at home reading when I got the notification that Christine Riccio, aka polandbananasbooks, had uploaded a new video. I clicked on it eagerly, pondering the title: THE BEA 2013. What the hell was BEA? As I watched the video, I was flabbergasted that I had never heard of this before....

I'm back! Happy Monday

It's been such a weird feeling not blogging. I'm so used to checking Blogger 24/7, double-checking that my posts are ready for the next day, making sure to comment and check out other people's blog posts, and thinking of interesting posts to write-up, that I felt like, when I sat down with my laptop in Chicago, I had nothing to do. I remember staring blankly at my screen and trying to figure out what the hell I was gonna do on it. Since I completely cut myself off from blogging, it took me a couple...

Blog hiatus

Oh gosh, hello internet. I've been gone for the past couple of days digging myself an early grave, since final exams are absolutely KILLING ME. Literally, I've somehow managed to plan and procrastinate and wiggle my way into making everything due either last week, or today. The rough draft of my 6 page paper is due in 3 hours (I only have 4 pages right now), but in those three hours I also need to study for my geography final, prep for my in-class english writing assignment, study for my super important...

Happy Monday!

What I read last week I only read The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater, which seriously makes me cringe because THAT'S ONLY ONE BOOK AND I HAD 7 WHOLE  DAYS. And what makes it worse was that I was in the middle of reading TDT. I didn't just start it that Monday. No, I was at least 100 pages deep. I think I struggled so much because I got really impatient at some points. I'm rereading the whole Raven Cycle series in preparation for The Raven King, so I obviously know what happens. So...
