Blogging Update:
I’m a teacher (I don’t talk about it much on my blog because I do this for fun and try to keep it separate from work), and today marked the last day of school, which means a bunch of wonderful things!
- I’ll have more time to read.
- I’ll have more time to write reviews.
- I’ll have more time for my own writing.
- And I begin graduate classes (a class in YA Dystopian and a Writing Tutorial)
You’ll see me posting with much more frequency, about 5 times a week instead of the pathetic once a week I’ve been doing lately. I’m hoping to be a more regular commenter on other blogs as well.
I revamped my blog in January as both a book blog and writing blog, and it’s been so fun to see my blog grow and to meet new people. I still don’t have a huge readership, but I contribute it to the fact that I don’t post as regularly and do giveaways and memes.
You’ll definitely see me posting more regularly over the next few months.
I won’t be promising any giveaways. I give most of my spare books away to students and already spend a ton of money on my students at school. So I really have a hard time justifying spending any of my meager teacher’s salary on blog giveaways. And I don’t really enter giveaways myself because I’m not blogging to win free stuff.
And we’ll see on the memes. It has to be something that I still think is meaningful and interesting, not just I’m doing this meme so I have something I can post every Tuesday or whatever. If you have any suggestions of memes that you think are interesting/quirky/cool that I might like, feel free to recommend.
So in summary, you’ll be seeing much more of me! And hopefully I’ll see much more of your blogs! And maybe I’ll gain a few more friends and readers in Summer 2012 as I devote more time to blogging, reading, and writing ^_^

Happy summer to you, my friend!
Yay summer! 😀
YAY! I'm so excited to hear about your grad classes. Personally, I LOVE Top Ten Tuesday and Waiting on Wednesday. Top Ten Tuesday, because it lets me think about books after I've read and reviewed them (plus I love lists) and Waiting on Wednesday, because I love being excited for a new book almost as much as I love reading a new book. Plus, WoW keeps me up to date on what is coming out and what other people are looking forward to.I've got some swag (bookmarks, etc) that I can give you if you want to do a giveaway. 🙂
I'm glad that we're going to be getting more frequent posts from you! But I enjoy them, no matter how frequent! And don't worry about doing the giveaways and memes – to each his own and I personally pick blogs to follow based on the content of their reviews and other posts, not by how many giveaways they have or memes they participate in! Although memes are a great way to find new friends and readers! 🙂 I'm looking forward to hearing about that cool YA Dystopian class, too!
Yes, thank goodness for summer vacation! Your once a week schedule puts me to shame; it had been a month since my last post. My plan is to do Marvelous Middle Grade Mondays regularly, at least for the summer.
I always read your Top Ten Tuesday posts! It's fun to see what you list, and sometimes I see a book that you loved, but I may have missed your review because it was before I started reading your blog. I'd have to do a better job on educating myself on when books are coming out to do WoW, but that meme is a worthwhile one too.And you're so sweet! I'm not gonna steal your swag! But thanks for offering 🙂
Awww thanks ^_^I'm super excited for my class, but I'm also just as happy I can leisurely read all my favorite blogs in the morning over a cup of coffee instead of squeezing in time in the evening when I'm tired already. I'm a happy girl in the summer!
I'll definitely read you Middle Grade Monday posts! I feel like the bulk of my reading lately has been YA, and I'd love some recommendations for great MG reads :)Hope you're doing well, and I hope you have a relaxing summer!
Aw yay! I second Top Ten Tuesday. I started doing it recently and I love it, I wish I did them sooner. Happy summer! 🙂
