My First Award!

On the Playlist: Songs in My Pocket - Bethany Joy Galeotti

I honestly never thought I’d get a blog award because 1. I’m boring 2. It’s a writing blog, and I talk about dance half the time 3. I make typos like they’re going out of style (no, I’m not sure when they were in style) and 4. I don’t own a collection of black Santas. TEN THOUSAND AWESOME POINTS IF YOU CAN GUESS WHAT BOOK I’M READING. Yep.

But today, I came online to discover that I’d received this award:

from Caitlin Darrell, Karla Nellenbach, Ellen, and LizPage who are all fabulous people that you should follow rightnow. Really guys, I’m pretty new to the YA community, and it means a lot to receive this, so thank you. You, and everyone else in the YA community, have like a bazillion awesome points for being so kind and helpful.

So, here’s the deal with this award. There are four things you need to if you receive one, which are:
1.Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award.
2. Share 7 things about yourself:
3. Pass the award along to 15 bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason! (In no particular order...)
4. Contact the bloggers you've picked and let them know about the award

Here are seven things about me:
1. I’d rather read a novel in paperback than hardcover.
2. I’m addicted to internet radio.
3. I’m a television junkie. And, truthfully, I’m a soap opera junkie. Not daytime soaps (with the exception of As The World Turns, which I was obsessed with for about a year), but shows with soap-like storylines. Yes, I am one of the people who still watches One Tree Hill, even though they did four stalker storylines within four seasons. Oy with the poodles already (a million awesome points of you get that reference).
4. God means everything to me.
5. I live off of Diet Coke.
6. I’m a huge nerd who honestly enjoys being in class and learning. My favourite part of university is not the social aspect, but the academic one. Yep. Proud nerd.
7. I want to teach as much as I want to write.
