Hello Internet!

I'm sorry I've been MIA lately.  I've been a bit busy in my post-college summer and there simply aren't enough hours in the day.  But this book review has been a long time coming and I'm so excited.  A couple weeks ago I read a book by one of my favorite Youtubers, Grace Helbig, titled, The Art Of Pretending To Be a Grownup.  In this helpful guide for millennials, Grace gives her readers tips, advice, and how-to's on a number of topics ranging from dating to work/career stuff and more.  Some favorites include How To Heal From a Breakup, How To Prepare For a Job Interview, and How To Make Friends as an Adult.

Hello Internet!

A couple days ago I officially finished reading Playlist For the Dead by Michelle Falkoff.  So naturally, a book review is in order.
I first saw this book while perusing the bookstore in the town near my college.  It was the title and appealing cover that made me linger, but it was reading the description, which reminded me all too much of 13 Reasons Why - a personal YA favorite of mine - that immediately put this novel on my to-read list.

As you may or may not know, last week I brought home quite a haul of books from the library, thus launching what I deem this summer to be The Summer of Reading.  I've been going through book after book, all the while trying to gain the motivation to write a book review in between.  Now, my first review (of many this summer!) is on the YA novel, 13 Little Blue Envelopes by Maureen Johnson.

It's been exactly a week since my last post, but I feel like so much has happened since then!

This year has been a lifechanging one, being my first year away at college.  I've had to focus all my attention on my classes - on papers, exams, writing responses, and tons of reading.  Between all of that, it's been a bit of a challenge this past year to squeeze in reading for pleasure.  I did manage to get a few books in, and I was thankful to read some incredible books that are actually the kinds of books I enjoy reading when I took Young Adult Literature this past Spring quarter.
