Drea's Book Fetish

RIVERSIDE: 'Fault in Our Stars' author criticizes book ban

I am shamed

 

This makes me sad, more so cause it's my town, but anytime a book is banned. John Green's quote cracked me up though :))

 

Luckily my 8th grader can borrow my copy to read 

 

 

So I've lived in my neighborhood for twelve years and just found out I have a neighbor who has a "little free library" out front her house, kinda an honor system thing. How cool is this! I wanna go contribute some books to her little library. 

John Green Is the New Black

I don't really know what that means, but look what I just got! Sometimes happiness comes in a box ♡♡♡♡

12th: Favourite Austen character (Austen Festival)

 

 

I have never read an Austen book and I feel like picking a character from a movie wouldn't be the same.

 

Please don't unfollow me! We all have character flaws,  some just more severe than others. 

 

Ok, I'm glad we can move past that. So, moving on, Day 13

 

13th: Favourite Roald Dahl character (Roald Dahl Day)

 

I swear I feel like a 12 year old from some of my posts, but I'm kinda in love with my childlike imagination. Adults can be so ... old sometimes ;)

 

I love me some Dahl. I was gonna go James and the Giant Peach on you, but after further thought, I decided Grandpa Joe from

 

 

He was always the great advocate and defender of Charlie. I wouldn't mind having someone like Grandpa Joe in my corner.

6th: Favourite book of short stories

 

I cheat, this is a novella, but I count it because it is a series of short stories of events that occurred in Karina Halle's Experiment in Terror series. From Dex's POV, this is how I like my Dex btw, in short spurts.
