Reader Interview: Jennila

So a while back I decided to do something a bit different.
Instead of trying to do an AUTHOR interview, I’d show the flip side and do a READER interview. So, Jennila, being the amazing blog-reader she is, agreed to give me a reader interview.
It was quite fun, and thank you, Jennila, for being so amazing [...]

Teeny Reviews of Recent Readings

Apologies for being gone so long. I had this little thing they call “two tests, two big projects, and two papers due”. You might know of it as COLLEGE, oh dear lord.
Anyway.

First the two books I [...]

Review: Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy

Cross My Heart and Hope to Spy, by Ally Carter. This is the second in the Gallagher Girls series and it should go without saying that I absolutely love these books. Why? One word: spies. I’m a fan of spies (when I was younger I played Spy instead of Teacher… which is ironic considering I [...]

Okay it occurs to me that if you don’t read my personal blog you may not know much about me.
And this must be rectified! Like, now.
So with the use of these spiffy questions from SleepyJane, I will introduce myself a little more.
