Winners
Star Wars Book Month – Cindy B!
Signed Dark Triumph – January M!
Congrats to both of you! (And sorry I forgot the Star Wars Book month winner until now. Oops!)
My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.
Oh, as if I didn’t miss my home state enough already – what a great bunch of signings!
I’m so excited for Stephanie Perkins!!! I. Cannot. Wait. SO SO excited!!!
I haven’t read anything of hers! I feel so guilty. I might like Anna and the French Kiss.
