First Blog Ever

Hi! My name is Ellie and yes, I am a YA book obsessor! This blog as you guys can see at the title, is my first blog ever. Yes, I'm a newbie and yes, I'm learning how to keep up a book blog from my mentors: Ensconced In YA and Celestial Reviews. (Yes, yes, yes! They are AWESOME book bloggers. And plus, they give away AWESOME books! Gotta go check 'em out! Link is below...) Anyways, I know my blog will definitely not be half or even one-eight as good as theirs, but hey, why not give it a try? I've wanted to make a blog for like... two years now, and now that I'm fifteen, why not? Well, anywho, my blog will probably burst with reviews. THAT would probably be the only thing shown... oh! And stories. Yes, I LOOOOOOOOOVE stories! Even though I'm more of a reader than a writer... well, ahem. Where was I? Yes, I was talking about my crappy blog that I'm about to make. Wait- no. Ah. Yeah, my blog doesn't really host any giveaways... sadly, but it's gonna be the one to babble about some of my stories and bring you up-to-date with some other book blogs. Okay, so to start my blog off, why don't I tell the the story of Ellie becoming a big bookworm, hmm? Sound good? Alright!

So... once upon a time, there was a girl named Ella who decided to call herself Ellie as her pen name. When she was only in fourth grade, her mother forced her to read the book "Little Woman" and "Anne of Green Gables". Although, the books were of high praise, Ellie read only a word from each, threw them down and declared in her high-pitched voice: "I ABSOLUTELY HATE HATE HATE READING!!!" Her mother, siblings, and father were devastated to see such a hater of books in their family. Later on, when Ellie was busy thinking about what to do in the summer of fifth grade, an idea snapped into her mind. What if, she thought, I tried to read "The Brothers Grimm"? Ellie loved to read fairy tales, and her mother had already recommended that book to her various times, but still, Ellie had waved away the book, threatening to rip it to shreds if her mother had shown her the book again. Starting from the beginning to the summer, all the way to the start of sixth grade, Ellie drank up the wondrous stories of  "The Brothers Grimm". That, was when her blind brown eyes opened up to the real world of wonderful and awesome books. And she never stopped reading for that day on. She still is reading.

Wow. What a brat I was, right? But, no worries, guys, I ABSOLUTELY LOVE AND ADORE reading now!  (No wonder  my eyes have gotten so bad...) Well, you know, *small, nervous laugh* that's kinda how a lot of people got to know the wonders of reading... Uh. Ahem. Sorry. As I was saying eairlier... there aren't going to be a lot of giveaways, but you'll be following along on some of my favorite blogs and they'll be tons of review of tons of books! (: ... I hope...

My Fav Blogs that are AWESOME!!!
