Hello there!
My name is Danielle and I am a twenty year old senior in college at UC San Diego. Why don't we start with a little bit about me? I love cats, coffee, popcorn, fuzzy socks, writing, and of course (as the title of this blog suggests) BOOKS!
I have always been an avid reader and enjoyed writing, so I thought, why not start a blog to review and talk about all of the amazing books that I have read? So that is exactly what I am going to do right here on this blog :) This will consist of current reads, all-time favorites, and everything in-between!
I have just spent the past two months studying abroad in England, and while the majority of my time was taken up by traveling and attending classes, I did find myself with quite a bit of down time. What better way to spend that time than laying on a beach or sitting up on a hill reading?
During my stay here at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England, I was asked (to my shock and amazement) to model for the cover of the Sussex International Summer School brochure for next year. I happily agreed, and as a thank you, I received two gift cards, totaling 25 pounds, to spend at the bookstore! Naturally, I was thrilled. While visiting Cardiff, Wales with my sister (to see the fabulous Doctor Who Experience), we popped into a Waterstones bookstore, and I used one of my gift cards to purchase Fangirl and Landline, both written by Rainbow Rowell.
This leads me to the next topic of this post: Rainbow Rowell. Now, I knew absolutely nothing about this author beforehand, other than the title of one of her other (very popular) books, Eleanor & Park. However, from reading the descriptions of her other books, they sounded lovely, and I picked them up. Well, I completely devoured them both in two days flat each, and I absolutely LOVED them both! So a few days later when a friend and I were wandering around downtown Brighton, we passed a Waterstones, and I couldn't resist going in and picking up Eleanor & Park!
I have not finished Eleanor & Park yet (I stupidly lent it to a friend before I had finished it, thinking I could wait to finish it on the plane home; now I am just itching to get it back!), but I am on a Rainbow Rowell kick right now (her other book, Attachments, is #1 on my Goodreads "To Read" list!), so my next few posts will be reviewing Fangirl and Landline.
I hope you enjoy the ride, and maybe find your new favorite book along the way. And if you have any book suggestions for me, feel free to leave them in the comments :)
Until next time,
Danielle
