The Romance Bookie

Hey Everyone!! So it's been a busy, yet super exciting year so far, so I thought, because it's been a while since I've done a video, that I'd do one to update you all! :) For those you not too interested in watching a boring video, I just discuss some of the events that have happened this year, both book related and on a personal level. On the personal level, I'm right now in my second month of summer break.  I've got about a month left now, it's going by so ridiculously fast!  Come end of August, I'll be starting my last year at city college and hopefully applying to transfer next year to the university I really hope to go to.  I've also been a relationship for a little over a year now with an amazing guy.  We celebrated a year together in June :). What with work, school, and fun times with friends and loved ones, it's been a crazy busy year, that's why my reading goal has dropped tremendously.  Something, I'm a...

Hey Everyone!! So here's Part 2 at The Los Angeles Times Festival of Book 2014!! Today I'm covering the second day, Sunday April 13th!  In case you missed last week's post, HERE is the link!  BTW sorry for saying it would be up the next day, things have just been crazy busy as always, and the uploading of these videos took a lot longer than expected! So Day 2 began bright and early! We left a little later, because it actually hadn't taken as long as we anticipated, so YAY for an extra half hour of sleep!! Anyway Sunday was probably the funnest day! It started with a visit to meet Marissa Meyer (AGAIN!)! Marissa Meyer is the author of The Lunar Chronicles  ( Cinder , Scarlet , Cress , and next years release Winter ).  I met Marissa back in 2012 at  Passion and Prose , shortly after Cinder , her debut novel, was released (less than a month after). Flashback to 2012... Check out my long hair! Well, this time around Marissa signed my copies of Scarl...
