[Day 333] VidCon recap! (blog and picture version)

So you’ve probably already watched my video on this subject, because you’re probably like me and have a short attention span when it comes to blogs, so given the opportunity to watch a video instead, you jump for it. Or that’s just what I posted first. Hm. Ok, and also, I would just like to warn you/ apologize for the fact that this blog will probably take forever to load. There are a lot of pictures.

It’s been almost a DAY since my last housekeeping post!

I really can’t help myself. I love posting update blogs. I don’t know why.

So I’ve been working on a TENTATIVE but comprehensive schedule for the next month and five days. (Also, can someone other than me count how many days there will be? Because my count still says that I’ll be blogging for 368 days, which kind of ruins the name of the project) Continue reading “It’s been almost a DAY since my last housekeeping post!”

[Day 330] Books that changed my life week 6: The Thief Lord

This is another one of those books that I can read over and over and never get tired of, even though it’s aimed at twelve year olds. See, I’m not an age-ist, so I’m not ashamed to admit that Cornelia Funke’s “The Thief Lord” is one of my favorite books of all time. I’m also not ashamed to admit that it is one of the treasured seven books to change my life. Continue reading “[Day 330] Books that changed my life week 6: The Thief Lord”

[Day 329] Books that changed my life: The Stranger

My book snob readers will rejoice: my first mention of classic literature. Foreign classic literature, to boot. Albert Camus is a much more “respectable” and “well known” writer than, say, Tamora Pierce.* So I hope that this post, in part, makes up for my defense of Twilight last Wednesday.
