A New Thing I'm Trying Out + Some Thoughts + New Graphics
A New Thing I’m Trying Out + Some Thoughts + New Graphics
I cannot even explain to you guys how excited I am to be done with basically all of my classes.  I still have to show up but now that AP testing is over I’m basically free to watch movies, read, and do whatever I want for the last month of school.  With that in mind, I’m hoping (praying) that I’ll be able to catch up on blog posts and get way way way more content on the way for you all.

May Flowers, a TBR, New Releases, and More!
As the saying goes, April showers bring May flowers.  Well, in New England it has been raining for the past week, and so I’m hoping that it will eventually get sunny and warm.  If not, enjoy this virtual flower to make up for it :) 
Anyways, April went really well for me (aside from failing tragically at Camp NaNoWriMo) and so I’m hoping that May will be equally as exciting.  I have a lot of…

April Wrapup: A lot of Reading and the book blogger awards
April is over, and that means that I’m starting to look forward on the very end of the school year.  Because April was CRAZY I wasn’t able to keep up on blogging as much as I would have liked, and so I’m sorry to you guys for that, but I’m worried that the next few months will get even worse, considering summer and finals and everything combined.  Anyways… there was actually quite a bit that got…

Discussion: Is It Bad To Read Too Far Above Your Grade Level?
Discussion: Is It Bad To Read Too Far Above Your Grade Level?
Today, I wanted to bring up a topic which has directly influenced me in my own life and, I’m sure, has affected a lot of you guys, being the voracious readers which you are.  Many kids (of all grade levels) read above their grade level, because the books that are marketed for them are “too easy”.  I was one of these kids.  In 6th grade, I was reading The Cliche (one of the best series of all…

Book Haul: Romance, Thrills, Issues and More
My local library always has a book sale rack, where people can leave books which they have finished reading, and then other people can come and buy them for $1.  I absolutely love this, because it’s a super cheap way to get a ton of books, and plus it’s uber profitable for the library, which basically makes it a win win.  Last week, I happened to stop in at the library, and I came back with 5…
