So I’m curious, have any of you actually read the Vampire Diaries book series. because I’m kind of curious about it. I know it’s completely different from the show, but I think that’s what makes me want to read it even more. So yes or no, should I take a stab at reading the series?

The Book that Can’t Wait

Buenos Aires, Argentina
The first book of the series The Book that Can’t Wait is called The Future isn’t Ours: New Latin American Narrative. 
It arrives in a white sealed plastic bag and, as soon as you open it, a message escapes from it: “Warning: The contents of this book will disappear in two months”
This book from Eterna Cadencia is unique: its words will disappear. Written with a special purple ink, a little while after opening it, the sides begin to vanish and some pages are almost unreadable.
“Books wait for us for months, even years, on dusty shelfs. But the new literary promises need to be read and known in order to get a second book published. This is why the aim of this first volume is to disappear: so new authors don’t”, Eterna Cadencia’s publishers say. (x)

So my sister kept talking about this awesome birthday gift she had for me. Well seeing as my birthday was almost a month ago I started thinking that it didn’t exist.
So I asked my mother about it when I was home this past weekend, and apparently it does exist!
So here are some things you need to know about my sister!

  1. She’s a procrastinator!
  2. She works at Penguin Publishing!
  3. And I love her to death!

From what my mom tells me, my present is a box of about eight or so books (some may be advance readers copies) and something handmade!!!

To say I’m excited about this gift would be an understatement! :D

I wants it nowsss!
