Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful people over at The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic is 10 Authors I would Auto-Buy meaning if these authors were to publish anything, I would be at the bookstore that week, money in hand.  Anne Bishop: I'm currently finishing up the only series of hers I haven't read, and she's one of the few adult authors who I seriously adore. I would (and will) buy anything she writes. Jandy Nelson: Omg, I'm obsessed with   I'll Give You the Sun and I really enjoyed The Sky is Everywhere . I can't wait for her next book release! John Green: I mean, I've read almost everything he's written (still missing a couple short stories, dang it!), and I'll continue to do so. Kate DiCamillo: She won me over completely with The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane , but I've really enjoyed her other titles too. Can't wait to see what she publishes n...

Hello Lovelies! Wow! It's been a long time since I've done just a general update-y post. As you might remember, I've been swamped with school things lately, but because of Columbus Day (blech what a terrible "holiday"), I don't have class on Monday, so I had a bit of extra time this week. Also my school hosted the Boston Globe Horn Book Awards on Friday night which I was lucky enough to be able to attend, and holy oh my goodness. First of all, the winners were very gracious people. They all got to give little speeches except for a few who were unable to attend, and it was so nice hearing them speak! I love listening to writers and illustrators talk about their creative process and how they get ideas and what they do with them. I think it interests me because I so desperately want to be a writer. While it was very interesting listening to all of them speak, and I was definitely in awe of all of them, I was most excited to see Gene Luen Yang. And I was n...

Hello lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic is Favorite New Authors of 2013. I'm taking that to mean author's I've read this year which I'd never read before, so most of these people have been around for a while, I just hadn't really gotten to them before this year. Sara Shepard : She's been around for a few years now, but I just started reading her Pretty Little Liars series this year. They're so good! I just want to sit and read through all of them at once, but I'm trying to intensify the mystery by not allowing myself to do that. It's really really hard though. I'm on the 3rd one Perfect  and I can't wait to see what happens next! Rainbow Rowell : Anyone who can do this list and not put Rainbow down either read Attachments when it came out last year or has yet to read anything by her. She is a phenomenal writer, and I'm so excited to keep working my way th...
