Meeting Penguin Teen On Tour!

Hello Everyone,

It's been awhile since we last posted, it just so happened that we got super caught up with life and took an unplanned vacation from blogging. However, today's post is sort of like an update on what bookish activities we've been up to. 

Not that long ago, the TwoGirlsThatRead Team went to our local bookstore eagerly anticipating a rare significance: an author event!

A lot of the time decent author events either never happen or are just a long drive away. However, that was not the case with this one and we were able to meet Penguin Teen On Tour!



That's a wondrous picture of the posters they handed out and my (Ashvini's) shelf-in-progress! Anyways, Penguin Teen is a very famous publisher of many New York Times Bestselling books including "An Ember in the Ashes" by Sabaa Tahir (more on that to come). Recently, they announced tour dates where a few of their authors would come in, answer questions, and do some book signing. 

This year, on tour were: Alison Goodman (Dark Days Club), Sabaa Tahir (An Ember In The Ashes), Rachel Hawkins (Rebel Belle), April Genevieve Tucholke (Wink, Poppy, Midnight), and Alwyn Hamilton (Rebel of the Sands).  



5 THINGS WE LEARNED!

1. Sabaa Tahir's brother orders very fancy things at Starbucks
2. V. E. Schwab doesn't like Earl Gray Tea. 
3. Rachel Hawkins is from Southern-ish America.
4. Helene from An Ember In The Ashes would be pretty good friends with Amani from Rebel of the Sands if their worlds collided.
5. When a mic starts squeaking like crazy, put it down and use your teacher voice.




Waiting is a timely process... Sometimes it's so timely that it makes you start giving your Chocolate Chip Frappuccinos a photo shoot...


FAVOURITE!!

Anyways once we got to the front of the line we met the authors, who were all very kind. (Poor Sabaa Tahir had an awful cold though!) Unfortunately we're not vloggers and do not have a way of combining all our video footage to share with you (we didn't take anymore pictures). 
Sooo... that's all we have at this point. We honestly made this post to just let you guys know that we're alive!

Oh and by the way, I (Emma) got Rebel Belle, An Ember In The Ashes, and Rebel of the Sands signed while Ashvini just got An Ember In The Ashes signed because she's a little more controlled with her book buying.

Emma has a birthday soon and the Book Fair's at our school so I'm sure we'll be able to pull together a Spring Book Haul post, and DEFINITELY create a review soon.

                          

More reviews coming to a computer near you soon (no joke)!

Yours Truly,
Emma and Ashvini

The Dogs - Allan Stratton.

OMG guys! We've missed you! We've literally been drowning in homework these past few months and just had to give the reviewing and blogging a break. We are sincerely sorry for our sudden absence. However, it's summer now, so you can expect tons of new posts in the next little while... :) Photo Source Link: Emma: I had a great time reading The Dogs. First, I have to say that I loved the cover and how it showed the books scary qualities. I just love the look of that blood splattered title. I think that it drew me to the book more than the summary which did not captivate my attention nearly as much as I think it could have. If you are not a fan of scary books this book might not be your forté, but if you do enjoy scary books you are in for a treat. The book was also sprinkled with a little mystery throughout that really made you theorize all of the possible directions that the story could go in. I loved how Cameron (the main character) had to piece together w...

Wrapping Up Summer TBR.

Hello Everyone, As we bask in the last month of summer and all it’s glory, as the season comes to a close actually; we’re still holding onto some really amazing and “summery” novels in our TBR. So, as, booklovers it is our faithful duty to...READ THEM ASAP! Like, now. Before summer ends (or attempt to). So, the following novels, as requested by a wonderful reader, are 5 reads that are most definitely to be gobbled up by us before the end of the season. We have each selected two books that we would love to indulge in, regardless of whether or not the other has ANY interest for us to read it, and one that we both mutually MUST agree on. A total of five "summery" books shall be read. An updated post with mini reviews on each of the books shall come soon...wink, wink!                        Ashvini’s Pick: Until Friday Night - Abby Glines. Photo Source: Goodreads Maybe I’m pushing it here with ...

The Bookmark Debate - #SheSaysSheSays

Hello Everyone,  Welcome to another very interesting edition of SheSaysSheSays...our little opinionated series where we input on all things bookish! Last segment, reviewers, Emma and Ashvini, both dished their two cents on the subject of ratings and their validity in the book-review-o-sphere! (We were incredibly delighted at your positive response and feedback, by the way, thank you for it all.) So this week were back at it again with some...bookmarks! Whoop-whoop! Today we're taking a slightly more comical approach on the series, by discussing the use of bookmarks and our personal responses and preferences with regards to them So, let's get on into it! Photo Source Link Ashvin i: Right off the bat, I’ve ought to admit; I don’t use bookmarks…or any sort of page marker, really with physical reads. Aside from being entranced by the allure of their cute paper patterns at bookstores, none of my page markers have ever been put to good use. Few have been ta...
