Happy NaNoWriMo!

On the off chance you don’t know what NaNoWriMo is yet, here’s the explanation straight from the website:
National Novel Writing Month is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to novel writing. Participants begin writing November 1. The goal is to write a 175-page (50,000-word) novel by midnight, November 30.
Yep, everything you’ve heard is true. Tons of people, [...]

Gives You Music (aka. Debs ‘09 Playlist Giveaway!)

~~It’S gIvEaWaY tImE~~
Okay, so months and months ago I asked a bunch of the ‘09 Debs to help me out with a super and secret project I was putting together and, because they are all such fabulous people, they happily obliged.
The project? The Debs ‘09 Playlist Project.
I asked many of the debut authors of this [...]

I Didn’t Finish Breaking Dawn.

So Breaking Dawn has disappointed me. No, wait, that’s not the right word. Breaking Dawn has disappointed me so much that I don’t think I’m going to finish reading it. (There, that’s better.) So far it’s been boring, disgusting, revolting, ridiculous, disturbing, and also just horrible. It’s just not a good book. At all.
And, okay, [...]

Le Soundtrack

Okay, so I just made the first (I say first because I generally make many) playlist for my nanowrimo novel. This is pretty much going to be the ’soundtrack’ to the whole thing, and I thought I’d share it with you guys.
The novel doesn’t have a title yet. I’ll be working on ideas for that [...]

Part Two: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

This post is long, sorry, guys, but I can’t help it. This is the second part of Book One (The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants), and does contain some spoilers if by some sad chance you haven’t read the book yet. GO READ THE BOOK, OMG.
Questions at the end; here’s post one (if you haven’t [...]

Discussion Part One: The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants

Okay, chickadees, it’s time for the first Traveling Pants post. These posts are going to essentially be a discussion/reader’s guide of the books. I’ll go section by section as I read the books and bring out quotes, discuss different characters, events, and topics.
It’s crazy the things I find fun.
Since these are discussion posts, there will [...]

You May Have Noticed The Lack of Reviews

I wasn’t going to mention (and thus draw attention) to it, but now I feel I must because it’s making me really sad.
There have been no reviews on the blog recently.
I should explain this.
I haven’t been reading lately. My recent fiction readings have consisted of rereading Hello, Mallory and Logan Likes Mary Anne.
This is because:
1. [...]

Fake Review: Hello, Mallory

So Kori, because she is wonderful, sent me a box of BSC books.
If you never obsessed over (or at least read) the BSC books or you have no idea what I’m talking about, you’re probably either:
too young,
too old,
or male.
However, all of you around-twenty-year-old American females (no idea if the BSC was published in other countries) [...]
