Summer Olympics, Reviewers Block and LGBT YA Books

Hey ya'all! Did you think I disappeared to never return? LOL I sure hope not but in case you did I'm popping in to say hello and to explain where I've been.

First off its an Olympic summer (in case you hadn't noticed). I have been watching every Olympic sport around the clock on my TV or computer since the opening ceremony last Friday. This means I have no time for blogging, LOL. Seriously I become OBSESSED with the Olympics when they're on. Can't get enough! I'm a bit like this chick...I can't contain my excitement or happiness!

 I love the Brits w/ their dry sense of humor!

I also can't stop talking about moments like this:

USA Women's Gymnastics Team Wins Gold

Love it! As you can imagine I'm very backed up on my reading and review writing. I just can't focus. Plus even before the Olympics started I had a bit of reviewers block. All my reviews were sounding very similar. I can do better, so I'm taking a pause from that. While reviewing is a huge part of why I started my book blog it wasn't the only reason. I love just promoting, sharing and talking about books so I hope you'll bare with me in regards to the lack of reviews.

Or you know Reviewers Block

In case your interested I did read 3 books fairly recently: Fathomless (liked it), Monstrous Beauty (love it so much!) and Code Name Verity (starts slow but worth sticking with. It's AMAZING!).

In other news...I'm sure most of you have heard about what's going on at Chick-Fil-A. I have stayed out of it and will continue to do so, but it did get me thinking... How do I want to show my support for the LGBT community? By highlighting a small but important genre of YA books. With lots of encouragement from fellow bloggers who said they'll jump on the chance to participate, I've decided to host a LGBT YA Book Week. I'm still working out the details. I'm not sure exactly what it will consist of or when it will be but if you're interested in taking part please let me know through a comment or email. 

Authors, Bloggers and Readers are all welcome to contact me. The more interest I get the bigger it will be!

Now its back to the Olympics for me...Are you watching? If not, what are you reading?
