HUGE thank you's to Octavia and Andye! <3
So what's happening in Becca Land??
So you may have realized I haven't really been around the past two weeks. No? Well, if you did or didn't, it's okay! I've still been on twitter and goodreads, but you may be wondering what the heck I've been up to! Well, I was just getting a blogging burn out. With work (two jobs) and then trying to keep up with reading and the blog and other stuff with family, well, it just stressed me out completely to where I had no desire to mess with it. I've gotten a ton of reading done though lately. Plus, I watched Frozen for the very first time, and live tweeted my reactions through #FirstTimeFrozenette. Let's just say I'm a teensy bit obsessed now! Just a little. ;) Other than that, I've been painting tons of totes for my friends. (I do have an etsy! It's Pivot Book Totes!) Also, catching up on rest and all those comments from you guys!! But I am back full force mostly now, because even though I was gone two weeks. It was overwhelming, because I missed writing posts, and interacting with each and every one of you!! Thank you for sticking around in my absence, and HOLY MOLY! I have a ton of new followers. *waves*
Also, don't forget to enter my giveaway (link below!) And is anyone headed to Irving, TX for the Fierce Reads Tour in Oct?! Still working out if I can go or not, but I'd love to know who I would be seeing if I make it! :)
PS - All you #IslaIsComing Read-a-long peeps be on the lookout on twitter this coming week, because this handpainted (by moi!) Anna & the French Kiss will be up for grabs! :)
