Operation TBD

Taking a quick moment to highlight something for you all, in case you hadn't heard.

Today is Operation TBD! Since I'm totally rushing, just click the link for info! All you need to do is print out one of the small flyers, put it in a book, and leave it in a public place.

I dropped two books at my community college campus early this morning, and when I checked out the spots (a table and a bench) later at 10:00am, they were both gone from their spots! Hopefully they both managed to find their way into great hands :)

Hope you all can check out the link, and drop your own book somewhere before the day is up!!

One Week Hiatus

Hello everyone!

As you may have noticed, I've been a bit absent in the blogging world (both posts and comment-wise). I've been getting so slammed with school work, and this week is going to be even crazier with a last minute essay assignment, and a few more projects. So, I've decided to take a week off blogging in order to catch back up in schoolwork. :(

EDIT (4/10/10): My school work load seems to have multiplied (that's what happens when there's only five weeks left! Every instructor seems to be assigning all these final projects/essays!!), so I'm taking another week off from blogging. I'm so sorry! I'll be back on either Saturday the 17th or Sunday 18th. You can all definitely expect plenty of reviews and interviews when I'm back! :)

On a related note, I'm also not checking my email account (yabookqueen@yahoo.com) as much while I'm on hiatus, so please be patient and realize that I will get back to you when I have spare time to go through all the emails I've received.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend,

-Lea
