Look at what I got today!!!

I got something SUPER exciting in the mail today!!

It was waiting for me when I got home after taking my Math test, which was an absolute pleasant surprise!!

I have been waiting for this!!

So I got an email a few weeks from one of my favorite authors telling me some exciting news!!!  That I had won an Advanced Copy of her newest book!!! 

Some of you may have heard of the book The DUFF? Well it's one of my all time favorite books!  Just the title!!  DUFF stands for Designated Ugly Fat Friend.  I just loved that title, the moment I set eyes on it. 

I've been a fan of Kody's for a little over a year now, and so when I saw this in my mailbox today:

I couldn't help but jump up and scream with excitement!!

I just love Kody's novels! Plus she has this great Blog, where she writes about everything on her mind, and a lot of it is really empowering, especially to women.

What's even more exciting is that this is my FIRST ever Advanced Paper copy of a book!!! What a double bonus!! Not only is the book by one of my favorite authors but it's also my first ever paper ARC!!!

What's EVEN cooler is that she signed it!!
SOOO EXCITED!!!!

Not only are Kody's stories amazing, she is also an inspiring person!  She is about a month younger than me, so 20 years old, and this is her THIRD book!! Three books!!! The DUFF was released when Kody was 18, Shut Out was released last year, and her newest novel (the one I got in the mail today!!!) is going to be released in June, A Midsummer's Nightmare!!


I just hope I get the chance to read it very soon!! I am itching to pick it up already, but I know I can't just yet, I have to read some of my other books right now ;(, but they are luckily good books too...hopefully...

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
