The Romance Bookie

Hello Everyone! So I'm officially 28!  Can I still be considered in my mid-twenties?!  😉 I got to do some exciting things with my husband on Tuesday for my day! I went on the Warner Brother's Studio Tour in Burbank! It was a lot of fun, and super exciting!  Last Friday WB added the set of Big Bang Theory on the tour!!  Big Bang Theory is one of my all time favorite shows! So to see the set was awesome!!! Not only that but I also got to see pieces of so many other sets from some of my favorite shows!!!  Such as Gilmore Girls !!!! Stars Hallow Gazebo!! Ms. Patty's Dance Studio!! Luke's Diner!!! And the studio where Friends  was filmed!  Currently it is the home to Fuller House!   We got to go inside, and see the current set, the show is on hiatus, but it was pretty awesome seeing the Full House  kitchen!  We were not allowed to take pictures inside though, sadly. The tour also had a couple of special...

The Summer Wrap-Up Read-a-Thon has OFFICIALLY started!! Jude along with Jen are hosting this fun shin-dig! And even though my summer doesn't end until the 27th of this month, I'm still sad that summer is coming to a close this fast! ;(. In three weeks, it's time for textbook reading, long hours on the computer doing unfun stuff, talking about politics (BLUH! I'm taking Poli-Sci this semester), and learning...okay so the learning thing isn't too bad! But anyway, here's my review for my first #SWUR book! The Tales of Beedle the Bard by JK Rowling has literally been sitting on my bookshelf since its release in 2008! I just haven't the chance to read it, until now! Honestly, that is a terrible excuse, I will admit that; because this book is SO SHORT!! Anyway, so if you haven't heard of this book, which if you're a Harry Potter fan, then I'm sure you have, then let me tell you a bit about it. The Tales of Beedle the Bard was first me...

In My Mailbox was originally started by The Story Siren and it's where anyone can participate and let everyone know what they got in books, and other book related things, throughout a given time.  Anyone with a blog can join in, and you can post once a week, once a month, or whenever you choose to. I got some SUPER amazing things this month!! Including a REALLY AWESOME early-birthday present which I will be sure to put to good use this summer!! Oh yeah, did I mention I am turning 21 on July 2nd??  Yeah, me...moi...ich...I am turning the big 2-1!!! Anyway, I'm sure it won't be the last time I'll mention my 21st, so to get on with this post, here are the FABULOUS things I got this month! :) Let me start with the paper books I got: For FREE!!!!: Tuck Everlasting by Natalie Babbitt   (the library I volunteer at was giving away a TON of great books, so I picked out a few of my favorites) (I remember reading this book in 6th grade with my class, an...

So I am taking part in The Harry Potter Reading Challenge in 2012,   Like MANY people around the world, I got into The Harry Potter fever when the books were released.  I started reading the series when I was in the 4th grade, in 2001, so about three year after the first book was officially published.   My mom and I got completely hooked on the series, and even though I hate to admit it, my mom probably got more into than me...for a while it was quite the competition on who could read the book faster... :) Every year, when that new Harry Potter book was released, my mom ran to Target the morning of the release around 6 in the morning, so she could arrive at Target when they opened at 8 (here's the funny thing, we don't actually live that far away from Target, maybe half an hour!), so she could come quickly home and start reading the newest book. That's the unfortunate part, because since my mom was the one to run out and get it, she was the one who got to rea...
