A couple months ago, I sent in an application to volunteer at a summer camp for a two weeks. About a month ago, I got notified that I'd be able to do so! I'm super excited to do that, but it does mean that I'll be gone for a couple of weeks. From May 31 till June 13 I won't be able to post anything. I won't have any internet access. However, on June 14 you can be sure that I'll be back, alive and kickin'! =D

While I'm gone, I do have something that I'd like you to check out, The YA Book Club. There's one book choice a month, and we discuss it in an online chatroom near the end of the month. June's pick is Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr. The Page Flipper has set up a really cool forum where everyone can chat through the entire month! You should join! I've only been apart of this for a month or so, and I'm already enjoying it! When you join, be sure to say that I, Melanie, recruited you. Here is the link to the forum.

Below are some random contests that you can check out. Hope you enjoy!
