Please mind the freezing, it is my computer, along with every other technology failure I've had. I hope you enjoy!

Sorry for the Delay!

I am sorry for all you faithful followers out there! I am now back for as long as I can. I have been busy with school, work, and not having technology agree with me (which means, I didn't know my password here).

But, I am back, with full awareness! I have a couple for books that will be up and reviewed, including Whip It by Shauna Cross and I have ordered Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Louis Carroll with wonderful new gothic illustrations by Camille Rose Garcia. So please do keep checking in and seeing what's new, which may be my first contest... You never know, you'll have to come in and check!

Im in hastings right now. I see a lot of fantasy/scifi books in the teen section but i see no melissa walker or i wanna be your joey ramone! No offense to those books. But please reprensent all areas of the aspect. And please dont put too many copies if no one buys it. No offense but i want more copies of my books. They might be the popular ones if there is no copy so i guess i cant complain if the store doesnt order the right amount.

Sorry Guys, Long Summer

I had to work all summer and did not have access to internet on my computer. I did not realize that I had 33 followers (publically) and even had people email to advertise them on my page. I feel so proud! If I had not responded to emails that you have sent to my gmail account, I will respond as soon as I can. I will try to get more reviews up as soon as I can. I hope to get active again!

I'm Sorry, Guys

I know I haven't been on for almost a month now. It's in the end of the semester so I have had a lot of homework to do. I just wanted to let you guys know what's going on. I am so sorry I never warned anybody before.

I hope to regularly post again. I am sorry for letting all of you guys down.

Here are the books listed:

Guitar Girl by Sarra Manning (from paperbackswap)

Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles (from Elizabeth Scott's countdown. It was Day 3 or Day 2 from before her book Something, Maybe. It even came with a bookmarker/postcard)

Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Mantchev (ARC from Lisa Mantchev from a contest on Not-So-Closet-Geeks--forget it didn't have the pretty final cover)

Also Shown:

Necklace that came with Sophomore Switch last week and the Royal Mail labels that the package came with.

So what did you guys get in your mailbox this week?

Thinkin' About Thursday - April 2

Zombie Queen of Newbury High by Amanda Ashby
Summary from Amazon:

Quiet, unpopular, non-cheerleading Mia is blissfully happy. She is dating super hot football god Rob, and he actually likes her and asked her to prom! Enter Samantha—cheerleading goddess and miss popularity— who starts making a move for Rob. With prom in a few days, Mia needs to act fast. So she turns to her best friend, Candice, and decides to do a love spell on Rob. Unfortunately, she ends up inflicting a zombie virus onto her whole class, making herself their leader! At first she is flattered that everyone is treating her like a queen. But then zombie hunter hottie Chase explains they are actually fattening her up, because in a few days, Mia will be the first course in their new diet. She’s sure she and Chase can figure something out, but she suggests that no one wear white to prom, because things could get very messy.

I've wanted this one since her blog party. I found it once, but unfortunately, I could not afford it then. Sad, sad day. This book was published last month, I believe.

This book was published on March 5, 2009.

Book Signing

So as you guys saw in the 'In My Mailbox' post, I got to see Laurie Halse Anderson. There's a full story in the vlog so you gotta check it out. If you can't watch videos cuz your computer is slow, email me and I'll tell you the story.

What's even worse (on my part) is that I haven't finished Wintergirls yet. I know I should have read it on my way up there, but instead I was playing my Gameboy Advance SP (partly old-school, partly with the times). I told her that but she said that she wouldn't chatise me for it because I am a college student, so I need some time off from reading. Yea!

Here she is hugging me after she found out I was in college after writing her essay. I didn't know someone could get so excited: 

Here we are doing the "typical" book signing thing: 

And here is my favorite picture, the one with us showing off our Converse: 

Here is my signed copy of Wintergirls: 

Here is my signed copy of Speak: 

This is my hat with the Speak Up About Speak button:

I went to see Laurie Halse Anderson, as you'll see in the blog. I will post the pictures in another post. I hope you guys enjoy this! I know I did!

Books mentioned in the blog:

Beautiful Americans by Lucy Silag from Book Chic (Thank you so much James)

The Diamonds by Ted Michael from Random Buzzers (forgot what publishing company that is right now)

Sophomore Switch by Abby McDonald. I won it on with a contest on her blog. I got my first Royal Mail package. I am so excited!

Rest of books (Wintergirls and Speak, Signed. *Squee*) will be in the next blog (above me).
