About Me

Hello! 

My name is Elle and I live in Washington state. I am someone that found my love for reading young adult books since I was 11 years old. The first book that I can remember loving was The Lightning Thief  by Rick Riordan. I used to read so many books a month, but eventually I stopped. Now, I'm trying my best to read once more and I am using this blog as my motivation. I don't think my love of reading has died, but has simply taken a step back. 

Although I may not be the fastest reader or upload every week, I'll try my best to provide as many posts as I can. Some days there will be book blogs and other days there will be a random blog! Welcome to anyone that stumbles upon my page and I hope you enjoy your visit here. I am going to try and Keep on Reading and so should you! 

Random Tidbits About Me 

Every year that this blog is up, I will add 5 more random facts about me.

1. I love baking, but I am not a huge fan of eating sweets. Anything that I bake I always give away to my friends or other family members. Apple pie though, is the exception. I love apple pie.

2. My spirit animal would have to be a dove. I love how elegant, simple, and beautiful they are. It's not my spirit animal because I am all those things, but it represents all the characteristics that I want to have. Or I can be an elk. I want to be a male elk though. Gotta have those massive antlers ;)

3. I don't have any pets :( I really want some, but I can't at this moment. I have many many plants in replace as pets though!

4. My favorite dumplings are Ha Cao Tom dumplings. SOOOOOOO GOOOOOD!
