Review: Beth Is Dead by Katie Bernet

Top Ten Characters Who Are Fellow Book Nerds

Top Ten Tuesday  is hosted by the fab ladies at  The Broke and the Bookish ! 1.  Of course I picked Senna from Mud Vein first, everyone's favorite author! 2.    Kat from the Lux series is awesome because she's a book blogger! 3.  Cath from Fangirl is a fan fiction extraordinaire! 4.  One of my favorite parts of Steering the Stars   was Hannah's journey to become a writer. 5.  No one is a bigger book nerd than Dora , who literally shuts out the entire world to go on multiple day-long book benders, barely pausing to do anything but read. 6.  Not only do Matt and Hannah meet as writing partners in Night Owl but it is Matt's words that eventually inspire all aspects of their relationship including Hannah becoming an editor. 7.  How could I not include the original literary couple: Georgina (book lover, book store manager and devourer of Seth's words) and Seth (the wr...
