Finals are now upon me, so I really need to cut down the amount of time I spend online and/or reading things unrelated to school! I suppose things could be a lot worse for me. I only have to write two 20-page papers, one of which is on The Hunger Games (yes, that's right, maybe after it's over I'll tell you a little more about it), and work on a VERY rough outline/draft of my thesis, also on something I care very much about--creative writing and YA lit. It's just a matter of buckling down and getting it done at this point. I'm going to try my best to finish mediocre rough drafts of both papers by tonight. Can I do it? Let's hope so!
Best of luck with your papers, and great load of books you got there. I'm particularly excited about Wither - I've been hearing great things!
ReplyDeleteGreat books! I can't wait to read Wither and Drought. Enjoy them all! =)
ReplyDeleteGreat books! I love historical fiction, so I really want to read Vixen!
