Also thanks for pointing out that I seem amazing. Because... I am! ;)"

Say it loud, say it proud. We're all awesome ^_^. Yay for talking bookish stuff! I'm getting ready to read my first graphic novel (set in the Ender's Game universe). Should be awesome XD

Hey Jess! Thanks for the friend vite. I like hardcopies too. You made a good point of saying that those never run out of battery xD

Also thanks for pointing out that I seem amazing. Because... I am!;)
(You may feel free to want to punch me in the face for being so cocky, although I assure you I'm actually realy humble). Plus, don't take me too seriously hahaha

Anyway, I cannot wait to discuss bookish stuffs with you!<3
