I'm grateful for. .

What book am I grateful for? Pride and Prejudice. Seems like a strange book to be grateful for. . .right? Well I don't think so. I'm grateful for this book because (1) it's a great book, (2) it was the starting point for female writers. All of these books written by female authors would most likely not be here without Jane Austen. Right?

I love the movie (old BBC Colin Firth version) too, but not as much as the book. If you've ever read the book and hated it, I suggest you read it again. :) It's better the second time around and you actually start to understand them more.

This post was for Beth Revis's contest, check it out!

A little note for ya'll.

I unfortunatly will not be blogging as much this November due to NANOWRIMO. I'll probably post once a week, and maybe a live blogging post here and there. I'm sorry that I haven't been blogging as much. I've been sick, writing, and really busy finishing up my book report. Right now my mom is actually threatening me to get of the computer and take a nap or something, so I guess I'll have to get off. XD
Oh yeah, and if you check at the top of the screen, you can see a little progress bar! If you click on 'My Nano' page at the top of the screen, you can also see my current novel and more progress updates!! Cool right?
I have to go now, I will most likely post on Tuesday or maybe even tomorrow. Guess what? Tomorrow is Halloween! I have no clue what I'm going to be since I couldn't find a wig for my Barbie costume, I guess I'll be a nurse or something. . .but that isn't very creative. :(

Toodles,

Button baby.

I was inspired to make that button because of an author's tweets about an ARC of her new book sold for $100 on Ebay. That's unacceptable.



"Guys, if you see ARCs on eBay, please don't bid on them. It's not a way to support the author at all (in fact, it hurts us); it only helps scalpers who drive up the cost of things that should be free. I saw an ARC of Fever that had a bid of $45, and it sorta breaks my heartstrings a little. There was a very small quantity of Fever ARCs printed up, and many legitimate reviewers weren't able to get one, so to see that an "unread" ARC is being sold tells me that someone out there abused their position in order to turn a profit, and really, that just messes things up for me, my publisher, and other reviewers." -- Lauren Destefano




Bloggers, post this on your blogs and post your blog link in the comments. :) It doesn't have to have a permanent place on your sidebar, just post a post about this and make sure to spread the word about illegal ARCS selling on ebay. 

Book Trailer WHAT?

PLEASE VIEW IN 480p!
Yeah, I know it's not the best quality and I did this when I was sick.
Please comment.
