Armchair BEA 2014 Introduction

One of these years I plan on going to BEA. Perhaps in 2016 when the event moves to Chicago? That’s a lot closer to this Midwestern gal. Until that fine day comes about I’m delighted to participate in the Armchair BEA!  The organizers of this event are awesome and tireless and I have to say THANKS right off the bat.

Please tell us a little bit about yourself: Who are you? How long have you been blogging? Why did you get into blogging? Where in the world are you blogging from?

I’m Jennifer…or Jen, maybe even Jenni if you’re a 7th grade classmate of mine. 

I’ve been blogging for just under 2 years. I started because no one in my real life wanted to nerd out over books with me. I had to go find my people. 

I’m blogging from the glorious state of Wisconsin. I’m way up in the northern part of the state…or “practically Canada” as we call it.


Describe your blog in just one sentence. Then, list your social details — Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc. — so we can connect more online.

Describe my blog in one sentence? It’s just another book blog. Ha, no. That’s boring. 

My blog represents my lovely, eclectic, literary lifestyle! (That’s a little better.)

You can find me all over the place, if you so desire:

Facebook
Twitter
Pinterest
Google+
Instagram
Goodreads

I hope we can hook up at all, or some of, the above places!

What is your favorite blogging resource?

My fellow bloggers. I don’t know what I’d do without them. Everyone is always so helpful and full of information. There’s no substitute. (I love you guys!)

Share your favorite book or reading related quote. 


This. Without a doubt.

See you around, fellow Armchair BEAers. Have a fab week!

The Relentless Weekly Wrap-Up 05/04/14

On The Blog:
This week I put together mini-reviews of the books I read during Dewey’s 24-Hour Readathon and I shared my monthly wrap-up.
Read:
More of The Walking Dead comic series but that’s it. I don’t know what my deal is. 
Currently Reading:

There are a couple of books on my bedside table…that I’m totally not reading. 
Upcoming:

The best guess for my immediate future? Continued Parenthood Netflix binge sessions!

Around the Blogosphere:
Thankfully there are other bloggers out there who aren’t slacking up a storm. Check out the applause-worthy greatness:
Katie, from Words for Worms, helped put together a Bookish Baby Shower. You have to see the photos! So. Cute.
A nonprofit charity bookstore in Pensacola, FL. lost nearly 3,000 books during recent flooding. Monika, from A Lovely Bookshelf on the Wall, details how you can help.
Well, gang. I really don’t know what’s up with my lack of reading. Apathy is reigning! I’ll snap out of it. I always do.
I hope you’re having better luck and that you’ve had a bitchin’ bookish week! What’s up with you? Let me know in the comments.
