Kindle love!

Today is the day I had originally dedicated for the National Mall, with intentions of hitting up some serious shopping.

But. You know. It's not an actual mall or anything. As I found out the other day, to my roommates' amusement. IT IS A GIANT PATCH OF GREEN SPACE. WUT? WHY WOULD YOU CALL IT A MALL THEN? Way to confuse the tourists.

So I haven't done any real shopping yet, which is sad :( But there is always New York!

So instead, I spent today reading. Finished a book I've been reading since I left, and then started a new Meg Cabot I'd bought especially for Emerica. Had to hide up in my room about halfway through the book because MC books do things to me. I just sit there, grinning, like I'm related to Norman Bates or something.



Because, depending on how well you know me, you'll know that my two favourite authors have remained so since I discovered them literally half my life ago. I've been a Meg Cabot fan since year 3, and an Alicia Blade fan since year 6. And when I read both, I get a very sore face and usually have to retreat from public.

So today was a happy and to-me-productive kind of day. My feet and legs feel like they've recovered from the walking that I've made them to, alá Journey to the Centre of the Earth and back. And we're only two weeks in. SIX TO GO

    Great anolgoy to Norman there baby because I know what it is like when you read one of your favourite author's book. Should you explain to the greater blog world, or atleast to my friends who Alicia Blade is.
    And should it be Centre of the Earth and back, not Earch, hahaha got you, grammar and spello queen.

      Seriously? You're going to nitpick over my one error compared to your several in that comment?

      To simplify the adoration I have for Alicia Blade to your friends;

      Alicia Blade = the Hannah Montana of writing. Wrote under AB for Sailor Moon fanfiction, revealed real name Marissa Meyer when published first YA novel, which is equally fantastic. Tell them to all go out and buy Cinder

      You forgot to mention that she is a top 10 YA with Amazon.
