ONE WEEK-AVERSARY! Celebration aside, today was pretty great. I woke up bright and early to see my sister off to West Virginia. I'm lonely for a week now. More time to blog?
On the way there, on the way home, on the way to church, on the way to lunch, AND on the way home from lunch, I found myself reading! I was given a short stack of books from Melissa, who's now a celebrity because of this blog. Two of the three are galleys, extreme reader jargon for a book that's not yet been released for sale, but is available for reviews. You can see a huge convention where tons of these galleys are given out on this VlogBrothers video.

Reading a book before it's hit makes you feel like an extreme insider. Even though it's from a friend who has a friend who gets the galleys. The book is by David Levithan and some other woman, and so far it's enticing. So enticing that I read it in the car, and have surprisingly gotten over my car sickness, which has plagued me my whole life long. Either that, or I'm just entranced by this "obvious teen fiction," a partial quote from this blog's own celebrity, Melissa.
I also made a checkerboard cake today. It got burnt and the icing was goopy. It was not one of my better moments. The day is now done, and it's time to go to bed.
