I am back! With an award!

Okay so I am back from all that hectic school stuff! For now. But I am still not done reading Mockingjay, I really don't wanna! I always get this sad feeling when reading the last book to a series so I am taking my time. But I now have some time to blog since I am done with my book report and got through the first day of school alive!

So first thing is first, a couple of days ago I received my first blogger award from Elaine over at I Live In A Fictional World. Fellow blogger and an amazing person! Thanks Elaine you are awesome! *hugs*


Here are the rules for this award:

1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself.
3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason! (In no particular order...)
4. Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award.

So 7 things about me:
  1. I broke my elbow about two years ago while roller-skating. Ouch. Never doing that again! And the pain is still there to remind me about my clumsiness
  2. I can speak Spanish. Not very well, but I try!
  3. I have this obsession with Michigan. Yeah, the state. I don't know why, I have never visited but I wanna!
  4. My favorite music is rock and classical.
  5. I play the piano
  6. I had a pet chicken for a while, his name was Mumble. And during those 3 months that I had him as a pet, I was a vegetarian (for obvious reasons). Didn't go so well.
  7. I am terrified of bees, I am sort of allergic If I am stung. But it is embarrassing when I run and scream when there is one near. But oh well. Same with cockroaches. *shudders*
I am passing this award to:

  1. Reads, Reviews, Recommends
  2. Good Golly Miss Holly
  3. Loud Words & Sounds
  4. The Bookish Type
  5. Ashley's Bookshelf
  6. Princess Bookie
  7. /-LA FEMME READERS-/
  8. Fantasy Fanatic
  9. An Addicted Book Reader
  10. A Reader's Review
  11. Larissa's Bookish Life
  12. Book by Book Summer
  13. Chick Loves Lit
  14. Penultimate Page
  15. Reading the Best Of the Best
There are many blogs I would like to give this review to. Every single book blogger new or experienced deserves one. But here are the book blogs I know and love and I will e-mail them shortly!

Happy Readings!

Excuses and a Book!

You see the picture of that book there? The pretty blue one with the bird? Yeah that one. Okay well I just bought a lovely copy of it and I cannot wait to read it. Though I am really anxious and sad that this is the last book of these wonderful series, I am determined to give it my undivided attention. So maybe or maybe not, I will hold on blogging for a while now. Maybe the rest of the week.

Think of it as a vacation, from two(or is it three?) exhausting(not really) months as a blogger. But note that I am very, very likely to change my mind, because that is how I am so I may post after all. I just don't know. But in case I don't, well I am already prepared! So while I am "gone" feel free to look around my new blog designed by the lovely Andrea over at Loud Words & Sounds.
Thank you so much Andrea! So feel free to look around and tell me what you think over at the chat box. The last two pages? INTERVIEWS and TBR are a work in progress so you probably wont get anything.

Also to keep in mind in the near future: on weekdays I will have late posts since I just started school. I will be constantly bombarded with Homework so I will sometimes take a while to post things. But fear not! I am thinking of doing a weekly wrap-up with all the book news on Fridays and Saturdays. I will figure something out.

To look forward for the next two weeks:

  • In Stuffed Bookshelf(2) post
  • Interview with 2 authors- not gonna tell! But you can guess and I will let you and only YOU if you are right if you do indeed answer with the correct answer!
  • Book reviews
  • Guess who received a blog award? ME! Not trying to brag or anything I just CANNOT believe it! So I will pass it to 15 fellow bloggers, I decided who already(mostly) so I gotta just e-mail them.
  • I got a few affiliates and I will announce who they are (*dun dun dun*) soon. As soon as I can!
So bear with me since I just started school and I already have homework to do, and it is not easy. But I also have a lot of books to read so YAY!

People(the whole world) reading Mockingjay:

When I am done with it[Mockingjay] I will like to share mt thoughts and feelings about the book with all of you guys! Well the ones who have read it anyway.So I will think of something to do so we can talk about it! No spoilers to the ones who have not read it! This is a spoiler free book! I have pledged to it on Twitter. =D

Love you guys! And have a great week! Students who have recently returned to school: the best of luck! And I am sorry summer is over.
