Since I received this award I have to do a couple of things:
1. Thank and link back to the person who gave you this award (as I said this came from the fabulous blog, The Lady Critic's Library)
2. Share seven things about yourself (look below)
3. Pass this award along to fifteen bloggers who you have recently discovered and who you think are fantastic for whatever reason! (THIS PART WILL TAKE FOREVER!)
4. Contact the bloggers you’ve picked and let them know about the award(I'll do that as I post)
Seven random things about me!!!!:
- I am actually a swimmer, and spend about 2 hours a day 5-6 times a week in the pool!
- Other then swimming the only other sport I play is basketball because I am VERY tall for my age(5'11'')
- I have broken/ fractured my left wrist twice, my right wrist twice, and my left collar bone
- My dog, Simon, gives me these adorable puppy dog eyes, and I have one of the characters in my book use those same eyes!
- I have 2 younger siblings, both of them are girls
- I walked 24 hours for the America Cancer Society in May, and raised over $2,000 by myself(my team raised... about $5,000)
- I am a candy addict... but never get hyper!

My passion is jelly bellys. And I wish I had a swimming pool. Used to swim all the time when I was a kid.
My cousin is 5'11" and has been since she was about your age, but as far as i know of she never played basketball. On the other hand, I was a swimmer too, doing about 2.5 hours a day 5-6 times a week. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the award!
That's such an amazing achievment to raise that much money by yourself. Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the award!
ReplyDeleteOuch! My cousin fractured his collarbone in high school - not a pleasant thing...
Congratulations on your awards!

Tossing It Out
Thanks so much for this lovely award! I'm rather behind on awards posts. This coming week would be a great time to catch up.
ReplyDeleteAnd since you love YA romance, I highly recommend _The Sky Is Everywhere_ by Jandy Nelson. Beautifully written, lots of complex emotion and great romance.
Thanks so much. I`m am going to visit your blog again when I`m back from vacation to claim my prize! I hope it`s still there in a few weeks :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I love this! I am reading YA fiction and loving it! I love that you swim that much and all the fun facts! I will try to put this up tomorrow. Really you don't get hyper, it is all that swimming, right! Wow, amazing walking that many hours, are you Superwoman?! ;-D Thank you~xXx
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It took me long enough to discover you nominated me. lol I'm taking my writing blog in a new direction. I'm embracing my writer's block and going to blog about it and my journey in overcoming it instead of whining about it. This award is a great way to start that journey!
