The Walking Dead – My Reaction

I have another video to share with you all! I read The Walking Dead compendium for my Graphic Novels class, and…I had feelings. So I put them into a video! (It’s all kinds of terrible, guys, but bear with me.)

E-Books and E-Readers

Another vlog! This time I’m sharing my thoughts about e-books and e-readers. I also give a quick review of the two e-readers I currently use.

Many of my viewers have shared their thoughts in the YouTube comments, but I’d like to hear from blog readers, too! Let me know your stance on the e-revolution. :)

Discussion: Villains as Love Interests

Just a little reminder that I have a YouTube channel, which I update regularly. ;)

This time I’m talking about likable villains and villains as love interests. I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments!

February Wrap-Up

When I saw Jamie’s Monthly Rewind post at the end of January, I knew I had to do something similar. So I’m taking a page from the Perpetual Page Turner and recapping my February for you (and for Future Me, too, of course)! :)

February was an eventful month for me! Here are some things that happened:

1. I turned twenty. (Ahhh!!)

(I responded to this milestone by making a video on reading outside one’s age group, which garnered quite a response!)

2. I spent an obscene amount of time helping others become certified Peer Educators through the Bacchus network.

3. I started reading graphic novels thanks to a class I’m taking, and guess what? I’m in love with them.

4. I joined a YouTube network and became part of Wonderly, a community of female content creators. (And got to spend an awesome weekend in LA to celebrate the website’s launch!)

5. I don’t have a fifth thing. Because, y’know, school (it keeps me busy!). So instead I’ll share my favorite YA book of the month: Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick.

Reading Outside the Age Group

I uploaded this video last week, and was pleasantly surprised by the response:

So many people in the comments have been “coming out” as YA readers older than 19! I knew, logically, that many YA readers were, for lack of a better word, “old.” But the comments section made it feel real.

So if anyone tells you that you’re too old for YA, send ‘em over to the comments section. :)

Just One Day 24-Hour Readathon!

Hey all, this is just a quick post to let you know that Penguin Teen is hosting a 24-hour read-a-thon for Gayle Forman’s new book, Just One Day! I’ve already read (and LOVED) the book, but I’ll be re-reading during the read-a-thon. Check out the image below for all the info you need about the event!
