Hi guys!
I have a couple of things to tell you!
1) I have been a horrible blogger and for that I apologize. I promise reviews and don't deliver, I ask for recommendations and either read them and don't review or don't even read them, and my posts are so sporadic. All I can say in my defense is Year 12 happened. I never expected it to be like this, so time consuming and draining. But I can promise that once this is all over, in a few months (OMG!! A few months!!!!! That's all I have left, not sure if that's good or bad....) I will try to make up for my misdeeds:) and be a better blogger. I want to say a big thanks to everyone who follows me, despite my once in a blue moon posts and thank you to all the comments that make me want to write a new post, even when I am up at 1:00 in the morning completing a literature exam! Don't worry, I don't stay up that late anymore, its not good! A big thanks to Jess from the Tales Compendium, who first commented on my blog and inspires me to be better blogger!

2) Despite my lack of time and posts I am participating in the Foal's Bread by Gillian Mears read-along hosted by Danielle from The Book Nerd Club. This is most likely the only reading I will do besides my literature and English texts and also the thing that will keep me from going insane! I will be posting from the 8th of October about the novel, along with five other awesome bloggers! I can't wait to share my thoughts with you guys.

3) Just quickly, in August, I got the chance to meet Maria V Snyder!!! Ahhhh, she is like in my top ten authors, it was simply amazing! She talked for a bit, answered questions and then signed books. I got three books signed and told her how much I loved Ari and Janco and how much I wished they were my friends/ brothers. I was so excited!

4) Yesterday, was MY BIRTHDAY!!! I turned 18! But unfortunately, due to it being year 12 I had to go into school for two hours and a half to do math, my most hated subject. Not much fun, but luckily the week before on Sunday I went to Luna Park with my friends and we had an awesome time. I had never really been on rides or roller coasters before so that was new. We also had a wooooing battle with a guy on a viking ship, needless to say we won! So yeah, I am officially, (in the eyes of the law anyway) an adult! In the eyes of my parents... not so much:-)

5) I was one of the million to receive early entry into Pottermore. I was just wondering if anyone else had, please tell me your thoughts on it. My name is BloodMagic161 and I am a Ravenclaw, my friends joke that my name is too pure blood and that I should be in Slytherin!

6) Lastly, I just wanted to inform people that my to be read pile of books has somehow grown puppy eyes and is looking at me saying "read me!!! Why aren't you reading me?" I hid it but I am still somehow always aware of it. (No, I'm not insane..... right?)

So anyway, that has been me for the last couple of months. After the read- along I will most likely disappear until December/ January. But I shall be back!!
Bye!
