Oh and I got my first award! How cool :) It's from Jessica at Eat Sleep Dance Read (the title of her blog pretty much sums up my life as well!) Thanks so much! This is probably the first time I've ever been called creative!
I'm supposed to list 7 of my fav things and nominate 7 bloggers.

These are a few of my favorite things
1. Reading
2. Hanging out with my friends (and laughing with them)
3. Dancing
4. Sleeping in
5. Watching my fav TV shows (So You Think You Can Dance, Gilmore Girls, Greek, Bones, The Closer & Lincoln Heights)
6. Not having to drive
7. Playing field hockey, soccer or basketball.

And the nominees are (*Oscar presenter voice* in random order)...
1. Taste Life Twice
2. The epic rat
3. The HappyNappy Bookseller
4. The Dreamer Reader
5. Steph Su Reads
6. The Shady Glade
7. Stop, Drop and Read!
Yay nominees! Yay Jessica! Yay Creativity! :D

Oh and I got to be a guest blogger at authorslatino.com for author Jo Ann Hernandez!. Check out my post!

Also storycasting.com is a lot of fun to play with! It's a website where you pick a book and then select various celebrities to play various characters in the book. A Wish After Midnight is there as well as Flygirl by Sherri L. Smith and So Not the Drama by Paula Chase (I recommended Flygirl & SNTD, they are really good about finding the books/actors you request!). I highly encourage everyone to check out the site!

*Update on Black weblog Awards: I am not a finalist. I'll take down the image in the sidebar so as not to cause any conufsion. So that's why no one could vote, I didn't make it to the finals. No worries, there's always next year!
