Paper Breathers 
Those “food diaries” are the best! My favorite is the Hemingway one 😀
Thank you for the link love!
I agree! The Dan Brown one cracked me up, haha 😛
As an American teen, I can say that I DEFINITELY read WAY more than that! haha
Ahahaha, here on the blogosphere the results may be skewed a bit towards the hours rather than minutes side. 😉
BUYING PEANUT BUTTER = A WEEK WELL-SPENT! Haha, I love the retitled Harry Potter books. THE REJECTED HANDSHAKE– DUN DUN DUN! And I am so excited to read about The Girl With ALL the Gifts 🙂 I want to read your review so badly, but… I want to be kept in the dark as much as possible– I mean, I *think* I might have accidentally spoiled myself already but… just in case.
YEAH! Except I’m not a fan of this new peanut butter, sigh… Twitter review to come, haha.
OMG YES DO NOT READ MY REVIEW JUST READ THE BOOK! Let me know what you think!! 😀
Please tag me so I can see the PB review immediately 😀
