Armchair BEA

Hi everyone!  This year I am excited to be participating in Armchair BEA, which is a virtual version of BEA (Book Expo America), designed for book bloggers who, for some reason or another, are unable to attend the actual BEA.  

Anyway, today is the introduction day, so here goes nothing! :)

Who am I?  Wow, that is certainly a big question.  I would have to say that I am a teenage insomniac who loves words with a passion, feels music in her fingers, and has art stained into her soul.  

That sounded a little poetic, no?  But yeah, I guess that's who I am.

I've been blogging for roughly 3 and a half years!  *Yay*  I got into blogging because I was like, why not?  Haha, the real story is that my family had been listening to my ramblings for my entire life and the internet was this big large thing that I was excited to be a part of.  I'm blogging from my bed, in my room with my cats and my books in a little town by the ocean.

"I always wonder about raindrops.  I wonder about how they're always falling down, tripping over their own feet, breaking their legs and forgetting their parachutes as they tumble right out of the sky toward an uncertain end.  It's like someone is emptying their pockets over the earth and doesn't seem to care where the contents fall, doesn't seem to care that the raindrops burst when they hit the ground, that they shatter when they fall to the floor, that people curse the days that the drops dare to tap on their doors.  I am a raindrop.  My parents emptied their pockets of me and left to evaporate on a concrete slab." Shatter Me by Tajerej Mafi (Pg. 5)

    

I would bring The Murder of Bindy Mackenzie by Jacyln Moriarty because Bindy Mackenzie is my favorite character of all time, (besides Sirius Black) and I would love her company.  I would bring The Book Thief by Markus Zusak because it is beautiful and would remind me of my humanity when I'm alone.  Lastly, I would bring Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire by J. K. Rowling because it is my favorite Harry Potter book and I would give me the most comfort.

My three non-bookish items would be my journal + writing utensil (I think that this can count as one) because I would want to record my island adventures, fooooooooooooood because duh, and my glasses so that I won't be blind.

My blog is a glimpse into my head through books, writing, pictures, and poetry.
