Book Blogger Love-a-Thon 2015: High Fives

For my last post for the Book Blogger Love-a-Thon 2015, I’m sharing some of my current faves – please leave me a link if you’ve done this and I’ll come check out yours! And thanks so much to Alexa from Alexa Loves Books for organizing this wonderful two-day blogging event! Book? My current fave is I Was Here by Gayle Forman – it was one of those books that was really important to me. Genre? Please. Do you even have to ask? CONTEMPORARY Author? I have two right now: Gayle Forman is my ultimate “I love everything she writes and […]

Waiting on Wednesday: Lois Lane: Fallout by Gwenda Bond

Waiting on Wednesday: Lois Lane: Fallout by Gwenda Bond

“Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that book bloggers are eagerly anticipating. Lois Lane: Fallout Author: Gwenda Bond  Publisher: Switch Press (Capstone Young Readers) Expected publication: May 1, 2015  Lois Lane is starting a new life in Metropolis. An Army brat, Lois has lived all over—and seen all kinds of things. (Some of them defy explanation, like the near-disaster she witnessed in Kansas in the middle of one night.) But now her family is putting down roots in the big city, and Lois is determined to fit in. Stay quiet. Fly straight. As soon […]

BEA Recap + Giveaway: Day 3, or Where I Lose All My Professionalism and Make A Total Arse of Myself

Hey guys, I’m back with Part 2 of my BEA recap – read on for some of my most embarrassing moments ever! BEA Day 3: Galley Drops, Signings, Authors, and Blogger Outings, Oh My! I got to Javits early (and DID NOT take the shuttle bus – see Part 1 of my recap for this experience), and headed straight for the Harper Collins booth to get a ticket for Kiera Cass‘ signing that afternoon, and for the galley drop for Amy Zhang’s Falling Into Place, which was one of my most coveted titles for the fall. The drop also included […]

BEA First-Timer: Who I Am and Where I’ll Be (also, mini blog break)!

Hey guys, this year, I’m going to BEA for the first time and I’m crazy-excited. I’m really hoping to get to meet tons of bloggers and readers (as well as authors, publishers, etc), so inspired by Alexa from Alexa Loves Books, I’m posting a couple photos, my schedule, and where you’ll find me! This is me! Please, please come say hi if you see me – I’m really nervous about going to this myself, but I’m pretty outgoing, and I will talk books, movies, music, Lizzie Bennet Diaries, whatever with you! =) Wednesday: 8:00am – 5:00pm BEA Blogger Con – […]

Recap: Word on the Street Toronto 2013 (aka I Met Elizabeth Wein!)

(c) Word on the Street Hi everyone! I attended The Word on the Street, a Canadian literary festival, here in Toronto yesterday, a cold, crisp September-y day. I didn’t stay for long because it was chilly, and I guess I wasn’t dressed as warmly as I should have! I mainly went to see Elizabeth Wein, author of Code Name Verity and Rose Under Fire. I headed straight for the Remarkable Reads tent when I got to WOTS and there were Angel from Mermaid Visions and Christa from More Than Just Magic. I also met Jessica, a former blogger, and Leonicka […]

Top Ten Tuesday #10: Things That Make Your Life As A Book Blogger Easier

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish to highlight a top ten list related to book blogging, and to get to know fellow book bloggers.

Rafflecopter They just make it so easy to promote and giveaway books! The “reuse your last giveaway” feature is phenomenal, and I love that it tracks and can export the entries so that I can look at stats […]

Friday Rants: Blogger Guilt and a Blog Manifesto

Friday Rants: Blogger Guilt and a Blog Manifesto

Disclaimer: this post is really for me. Proceed if you want something personal; do not pass go if you’re not interested in my personal thoughts. Happy Friday, everyone! So even though I’ve had my new computer for almost three weeks, it took me awhile to get myself to write again. You may have noticed that despite my “I’m back” message last week, I wasn’t REALLY back until yesterday. This is because, frankly, it’s hard to come back to blogging after over a month away. As much as I love blogging and writing, I have to admit that having the time […]

Recap: The best book blogging event ever, or the Ontario Book Bloggers Meet-Up 2012!

Recap: The best book blogging event ever, or the Ontario Book Bloggers Meet-Up 2012!

What can I say that that title doesn’t say for itself? This was hands-down the most fun event ever for a newbie book blogger. I’ve never experienced that much excitement and squealing about books. For me, the best part of the Ontario Blog Squad’s 2nd Annual Blogger Meet-Up was getting to put faces to the names of bloggers that I’ve been following for years. Yes, meeting the authors and the publishers was great, but getting to actually talk, IN PERSON with people who love YA and have read the same YAs as me? I CAN’T. EVEN. The raffle table with […]

Top Ten Tuesday REWIND: Top Ten Bookish People You Want To Meet

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish to highlight a top ten list related to book blogging, and to get to know fellow book bloggers.  October 9:  Top Ten Tuesday REWIND (pick a past topic that we’ve done that you missed or just want round 2 of!)
