  so. funny story.
  i finished my roommate is a vampire a while ago, didn't like it that much, and had no plans to continue the series.
  but the other day, i won a big raffle with some books in it. unbeknownst to me when i entered, one of those books was the sequel, my vampire plus-one. so i guess it's fate, and i Have to liveblog it.
  not right now, because there's books i wanna finish for some articles i'm writing, but Soon. it is On The List.
  currently, i have 1 book left for the pinterest book recs piece and 2 books left for tbr 3. whether i'll liveblog any of these is up in the air; nowadays unless it's part of a poll, i usually wait until i'm a chapter or two in before i decide, to make sure i at least have Something to say about it.

  rip cohost :( eggbug will live on in our hearts
