Welcome to my NEW blog! We're going to have a great time over here: starting with some monthly features that I'm excited to do and YOU should be excited to take part in.
First, we'll be having a fortnightly Monday Marathon feature, where I'll talk about one of those reasons why I have such a backlog of things to read and review. I blame it all on authors I've loved in the past (especially you, Tamora Pierce). With these authors, one reading was not enough, and every so often I find myself re-visiting their worlds. Re-visiting old friends, as it were. This feature will focus on authors who have written entire series (although there will be some who fall into that category of authors whose stand alone novels I pre-order as soon as they appear on Amazon- looking at you, John Green).
And would you look at that? It's Monday...
On those Mondays where we don't have our Monday Marathon, I'll be doing a flash giveaway. 24 hours in which you can win a SMALL Amazon gift card, or an ebook of my choice if I'm in an OMG EVERYONE MUST READ THIS BOOK kind of mood. These will be extensively promoted on Twitter as well, so make sure you follow me there!
On the last Friday of every month, we'll have our Friday Focus. This is where I give myself a headache, trying to choose my favourite of the Young Adult books I've read that month.
Expect cheating.
I'll be joining a few blog tours this year- with giveaways!- so keep your eyes peeled for that. Follow me on Twitter or subscribe for emailed updates with every post. In between, of course, there'll be reviews of books I've gotten my greedy little hands on, so you can stay tuned for those as well. You can browse my past reviews, of course, from the bar at the top of the page (I'm still transferring them from my old blog).
But this isn't just about book reviews. I also want to use this to talk about my second love: technology in education. Don't worry, these aren't going to be too often: one every Wednesday (Tech Tuesday/ Thursday are just too easy.. and also happen to be kind of busy for me). So keep an eye out for that.
See you online!
