Bookish (and not-so-bookish) Happenings:
- I revealed to a a friend (*waves*) that I have a blog. She's now talking about starting a blog since she's thought about it before.
- I was accepted into my dream school!
- On Friday, I visited colleges. In one city, it rained so hard that the "puddles" in the street had currents. In another city (about 2 hours away from my house), it rained and our car broke down on a major road during rush hour. Awesome. After 5+ hours, we finally left and I didn't fall asleep in my own bed until 3am. THEN I travelled back up with my dad to get the piece of junk (our van). Fun stuff this weekend, you guys.
- Emma offered to send me a signed copy of Better Off Friends after she goes to a signing!
- Lost my basketball game by 1 point, making us play a playoff game before State Championships. Oy vey.

Ooh, $4 is an awesome price for a hd, have you read The 5th Wave yet?
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting accepted into your dream school! :D
No I haven't! I'm hoping to soon though since the author will be at the local reading festival! Fingers crossed that I'll like it :)
DeleteI really love Kasie West! Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI ADORE her. And her latest one :)
DeleteThe Chapel Wars displays all of Lindsey Leavitt's signature awesomeness, and I hope you love it! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you told your friend about your blog. It can be scary (I feel like in-person friends wouldn't understand), but I'm also slowly merging my blog life with my personal life. Is this friend's potential blog going to be a book blog? I definitely want to visit it either way.
That is VERY relieving to hear :)
DeleteIt was definitely scary. I still haven't told my coaches, who are actually some of my closest friends. I always get nervous that they won't understand or if they think it's weird or whatnot. It is! She actually just commented below, but I don't think she's started it yet! I'll keep you posted :)
Not RIGHT below, but she's the other Emily :)
DeleteCongratulations on getting accepted to your dream school! I have no idea what school it is, but I'm seriously happy for you. I can relate to that feeling since, many moons ago (lol, that makes me sound old), I got accepted into my dream school (in the Philippines) as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Alexa <3 Haha, I feel like "many moons ago" is taking me to some Indian campfire or something. You did? That's great! I'm guessing you didn't go? What happened?
DeleteAll three of the review books you got are ones I'm looking forward to! I hope you enjoy them all and have fun reading them! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry that your weekend has been horrible, but this week is going to be better! :) And congratulations again on getting into your dream school! Have a wonderful week, Summer! :)
Thanks, Jessica! Read 2 out of 3 and they were successes!

I'm still waiting to be approved for On the Fence and The Chapel Wars. *crosses fingers*
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to tell you all about the signing! Here's the link to my Rewind & Review. :) http://bookworm716.blogspot.com/2014/02/rewind-review-7.html
Ah, I hope you do! OtF was so cute, I enjoyed it. Haven't read TCW yet though!
DeleteI can't wait to hear all about it!
Congratulations on getting accepted into your dream school! That's super exciting!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Melissa! Now's the time if I should go for it or go for another school I've been looking at *panics*
Delete*waves back* ;)
ReplyDelete:D
DeleteWow, that does sound like an eventful weekend. Congrats on getting accepted to your dream school! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteThe Chapel Wars looks so good. Hope you love it. And I just read a very positive review of Better Off Friends so I'm eager to check that one out.
Have a great week!
Eeep, thanks, Lucy! BOF was REALLY good. I can't stop thinking about it actually :) I hope you get to read it!

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed it! I hope you do too :)
DeleteCongrats on your dream school! That's so awesome! Sorry your college trip didn't go as planned, though! It does sound like you had a WEEKEND. :D I absolutely adored Better Off Friends...can't wait to see your thoughts on that one, and yay for a signed copy! Also, eep to the $4 HC of The 5th Wave...I loved that one, too...aliens have never been so scary or so sexy! ;0)
