I am completely, totally, and utterly obsessed with all things books and reading (hence the “bookish”).

I am a law school graduate and (somewhat) new attorney (hence the “barrister”).

Why this blog?

To collect my thoughts and ideas about the books I have read and those I want to read in one place.

    • Haha!!! Yes, this was last year at the Supernatural Convention in Washington DC. It was one of the best days of my life :p Misha actually was really normal in person! He was super nice and we got to chat with him for a while, we asked him about his kids and he was adorable talking about them. We met Jensen first and I honestly could not breathe, he’s so beautiful. But also very nice!!! Hahaha

  15. Hi Abby,

    my name is Ivan Sivec and I am a Slovenian writer, poet and publicist. I would like to submit my first ever translated YA novel The X Factor: Confessions of a Naive Fashion Model for your review.

    The X Factor is a psychological YA novel showing the glamorous fashion world behind its less glamorous scenes. The reader is taken on a frightening journey into the world of drug addiction among teenager fashion models.

    I would be happy to send you an e-copy of my novel in return for an honest review. Please contact me at ivan.sivec.en@gmail.com

    Thank you!

    Seasonal greetings from Slovenia,
    Ivan Sivec

  19. Abby, just wanted to say that I love your About page. I’ve never seen one like it with the pictures for every point you make about yourself and your life. I really like it, though :-D.
