I’ve been thinking about my blog’s one-year anniversary on WordPress for a while now, and it turns out that it’s coming up on March 19! I’m still deciding everything that I want to do, but I know one piece of my celebration will be a Q&A session!

But, for that to happen, I’m hoping that someone will actually have a question for me! You can ask me about reading, blogging, my cat, or whatever you want! Feel free to leave your questions in the comments, or you can DM me on Twitter or send me a message on Goodreads if you’d prefer.

The answers will be posted on my blogging anniversary, March 19, 2019.

Thank you in advance to anyone who participates! ❤

Ultimate 2019 TBR

Between reading challenges, new releases, and ARCs, I’ve got a huge stack of books that I want to read this year. We’re already 20 days into 2019, but I figured that I would compile a list of the books I definitely want to get to this year so I can hold myself accountable!

UPCOMING RELEASES

BOOKS TO GET FROM THE LIBRARY

I’ll be checking in once in June and again at the end of the year. Hopefully I’ll make some good progress on my TBR! Have you read any of these books? Which should I read first? Let’s talk in the comments!

Giveaway: Signed copy of The Wicked King!

6 Comments

Today is a very exciting day because it’s the first of (hopefully) many collaborations I’ll be doing with my favorite blogger, Daniel, this year. Today, the two of us are bringing you another giveaway! Because he’s the best and also the coolest, Daniel went to a Holly Black event last night and picked up an extra signed copy of The Wicked King to give away to one of our followers!

I haven’t read The Wicked King yet — I’m still working my way through The Cruel Prince — but I’ve heard such great things about it and I’m so excited to be able to do this giveaway!

The rules for the giveaway are simple:

  1. You have to be following both me and Daniel!
  2. You can enter through the Rafflecopter!
  3. One follower will win a signed copy of The Wicked King by Holly Black!
  4. The giveaway is open internationally! (The winner will need to provide us with their mailing address.)
  5. The winner will be drawn on January 19, 2019!

Good luck!

Only semi-book related: I met my favorite person!

24 Comments

If you’ve been following my blog for really any length of time longer than maybe a day, you probably know that Daniel at Page to Page is my favorite person ever. Let’s see here….

What I’m getting at is that it’s no secret, he’s my favorite. I’m not sure that there are enough heart emojis or crying emojis or words in the English language to describe how happy I am that I finally met my favorite person, but it’s a thing that happened and I still can’t really believe it.

We went to Dollywood! And let me tell you something, I never do anything ever and I had not been on a rollercoaster in at least fifteen years, but I had the best day. THE BEST DAY. Like, I don’t know if there’s ever been a greater day in the history of all of my life. Maybe I’m gushing a little bit too much right now, but I can’t really lie and be like “oh, it was fine I guess” because it wasn’t fine. It was the best.

I’m glad that I have photographic evidence of this day because I’m not sure that I’m 100% convinced that it actually happened even though I was there.

Really, though, how much fun did we have. We had so much fun. I basically died on every single rollercoaster, but it was so much fun. Look at how traumatized I look. But in a fun kind of way.

We also did an escape room! And I had never done an escape room before, but it was a lot of fun! We even escaped! (Although to be fair, I would not have escaped without Daniel. And maybe also the three old women on our team, but mostly Daniel.)

Given the opportunity, I could probably go on for another 40,000 words or so. I could talk about the pancakes(!!), the spooky mine rollercoaster(!!), the Authentic Mexican Restaurant(!!), and how the entire day was the most perfect day I have ever had. Mostly, though, I just want to end this post by saying thank you to Daniel for sending the email that started all of this.

I could not possibly be happier that we met.

Have you ever met up with an online friend in person? CAN YOU EVEN BELIEVE THAT I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET MY FAVORITE PERSON? (Because I can’t.) Have you been to Dollywood and do you agree with me that it’s an amazing place? Let’s talk in the comments!
