Blind Book Dates and Teen Read Week 2013

Hello!

I'm thinking that I should make a system for this blog like the one I have on my main blog. I don't think Thursday will be day though but who knows? 

Anyway, this week (10/13-10/19) is Teen Read Week! 
I absolutely love Teen Read Week. Also Teen Tech Week, and other fun activity weeks for teens. It's so fun! 

Yesterday I went to my library and discovered that it was Teen Read Week and I was like "Sweet!". The librarians have a bingo sheet for you to complete, programs for you to do and other fun stuff like that. Plus, get this: they had this thing called a blind book date! 

Basically what a blind book date is is that the have a book wrapped up in a brown paper cover with only a few words or ideas that relate to the book on it. You choose which one you think sounds interesting based on that and you check it out to find out what your book date is. 

Here's what I chose: 


Here's what it turned out to be: 


Sovay by Celia Rees! What's funny is that Celia Rees wrote another book called The Fool's Girl and I absolutely loved that book. However, I never even tried to see what other books she had written. Except for one: a book called Pirates, I believe. Don't hate me but I judged that book so hard by it's cover and decided I didn't even want to bother reading it. Maybe I should just give it a try anyway. 

So my date is going to wait until I finish some of the other books on by TBR list. I'm starting with a book called Taste Test. Or maybe I should read Wake because my book club on goodreads is reading that book and I haven't finished it yet. 

So, that's about it. 

Read on my friend(because reading is awesome! #teenreadweek2013),
