May Rewind & Review

May 29, 2014 by brooke 3 Comments

So I’m participating in “Rewind & Review,” a blog hop hosted by Shae Has Left the Room. Basically, we’ll be glancing back at what happened on the blog during the month of May, and also take a look at what I’ve been reading.

So it’s been a pretty busy month. Grad Bash the first weekend of May, my 18th birthday the second weekend of May, the annual Tallahassee Writer’s Conference the third weekend of May, and exams and graduation in between. And somehow I managed to read and post more than I did in April. (How exactly did that happen?) I’ll be leaving for Italy this weekend and taking a two-week hiatus from the blog, but I’ll be participating in Top 10 Tuesday on the 10th and 17th. ALSO, I’ll be writing in Italy, and posting when I return.

(P.S. The Fault in Our Stars will premiere in theaters while I’m away, so please tweet at me to let me know what it’s like! Promise?)
