Penguin Teen's 24 Hour Read-a-Thon

Hey bookaholics!

Have you all heard about Penguin Teen's 24 hour read-a-thon this weekend? It's in honor of Gayle Forman's newest release, Just One Day. Get all the information here.

From 5:00pm today (Friday, January 11) to 5:00pm tomorrow (Saturday, January 12), readers all over the world will sit down with this book and engage with characters Allyson and Willem. Tweet your progress and talk to other readers using the hastag #JustOneDay. Then, at 7pm on Saturday, Gayle herself will be answering questions on Twitter--tweet her using the same hastag and get in on the conversation!

For those of you who have read Forman's other books, If I Stay and Where She Went, this new release is highly anticipated. If you haven't, you should. And definitely before the movie comes out! Yes, If I Stay is being made into a movie. According to Gayle, it's still in the casting stage with rumors of an up-and-coming young actress in talks to play main character Mia. Want to know more? Read Entertainment Weekly's interview with Gayle here.

You can bet I'll be getting in on this action this weekend. Check Twitter for my own updates and feel free to tweet me @thebooknookblog with your own!

Happy Reading!!

Merry Christmas, Bookaholics!

A big ho ho ho and gigantic hug to all my readers who stuck with me this past year. I know I didn't review as many books as usual and my posts were sporadic and unpredictable. Please accept my sincere apologies and honest promise that I will do better in the New Year. Truth is, I just didn't have as much free time to pleasure-read as I was previously used to. Now thirteen months into my first full-time position, I think I've finally figured out how to balance work with my extracurricular blogging. So expect bigger and better in 2013!

This is for you!! (Seriously, knowing people read this blog makes me ridiculously happy.) I hope your Christmas holidays are filled with fun, family, and cozy new reads by a warm fireplace.
