THIS WEEK IN BOOKS
Currently Reading So slightly funny and mostly devastating story--I was in the middle of reading Paullina Simons's The Bronze Horseman (and I was enjoying it, mind you!), when I had to return it! *shakes fist and curses library's name* Anyhoo, I consoled myself by picking up (and becoming obsessed with)...

LIST OF THE WEEK
Things To Do In An Emergency
(Note: I may have come up with these ideas after watching a ton of TV and reading a few comics...)
1. Break out the ninja moves
2. Grab the samurai sword and pull off some sweet moves while singing The Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Heads Will Roll"
3. Hack your enemy and turn over their files to the government. Wait for the charges to be pressed while munching on yummy snacks.
4. Be the emergency (a.k.a. the "zen approach")
5. Or, if you are untrained and/or ill-equipped to do any of the above, just shout "I'M THE FLASH!" and run away.

PERSONAL AND BLOGGING NEWS
So you may be asking, "Why is she posting the Sunday Post on a Wednesday?" and to that I say, "I'VE BEEN READING, OKAY?!?!!! I GOT A LITTLE PREOCCUPIED!!!" Anyhow, I'm here with a very late Sunday Post and better late than never, right? Here's what's been up.
Oh, boy. So I wrote my first letter to an audiobook publishing house to request review copies. It was so nerve wracking! But, in the end, I'm happy with my letter template. Here's to hoping I get approved! In other news, I listened to Hamilton for the first time ever and it was life changing. That's saying something because I'm not the hugest fan of Broadway, lol!
In blogging news, I celebrated my 6 month blogaversary, as well as gaining over 400 followers! I also posted a discussion about the differences between YA and adult literature, which got many great and thoughtful responses. In addition, over on Book Conversion, Claire and I sorted the characters of the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas into Hogwarts houses and it was a blast!
That's pretty much it. How have y'all been? Got any summer plans? How are you keeping cool? Or maybe it's turning to fall where you are? Tell me all in the comments!
Over And Out!
