In other awesome news, I woke up to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer being delivered to my front door! Can you say "OMG"? Because that was my reaction. Plus, Lindsey threw in the cutest little cupcake card, which was the second best surprise of my morning. I know I've already said it a zillion times, but thank you, Lindsey! (Check out her blog here.)

 

Also, I am now out of my reading slump. Hip hip hooray! I hate reading slumps. And I hate reading slumps that last longer than one week. It wastes very valuable reading time. Thankfully I've had some great people keep me company while I whined and sat on Twitter all day. Don't know what I'd have done without them. Stare at a wall, maybe? Gone into a coffee coma? We'll never know.

 

In less stellar news, I am still awaiting my email that will permit me early access to Pottermore. It's been... what? Maybe three days since they started letting people in? And my patience is already gone and my anticipation is through the roof. It's killing me, people! I am living vicariously through those on Twitter that update me about its wonders.

 

In even less stellar news, school starts up again in roughly one and a half weeks. I am not thrilled to be going back to gross food and work. But, this summer was eventful and awesome, so I can't complain. I hope all of your summers were amazing, too.
