My dear friend Amy from Seventy Seven Broadway gave me this award! She’s such a sweetheart. <3

I am supposed to pass this award along, but I will need to revisit this post later in the week once I’m a little less busy! Thank you Amy!

I couldn’t wait until I had 50 followers for a contest – let’s do one now! I am giving away a signed copy of Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, in honor of the movie release this month. I was lucky enough to get this copy quite some time ago. However, the book is in excellent condition, and signed by author Rick Riordan.

Please fill out the form below to enter the contest. This contest is open to US residents only (sorry!) and closes on March 1st at midnight EST. I will contact the winner by email. You do not need to be a follower to enter, but I hope you do consider following and reading my blog. This will be a one entry per person contest, as it’s my first and I want to get it right! Spread the word and check back here for the winner!

PS, I’m going to see the movie tonight so look for my review later tonight or tomorrow!

We are now up to 10 subscribers–hooray! (7 on RSS and 3 on Google, not counting me on Google!). Keep ‘em coming! I hope that people enjoy this blog. I try to be fun, really! And I hope that I can provide people with the latest YA news, plus also insightful commentary on teens today.

And just a reminder, I am still looking for interviewees! I have one volunteer already, so spread the word. I’m very interested in this project as a semi-new blogger myself, and as someone that would like to work with teens in the future. I am looking for:

• Teens that blog (about books, movies, music, anything in general)
• Anyone new to blogging and wanting to share their story

I am seeking a cast of people to interview for an upcoming blog series (or two) that I’d like to have here at biblio+chic. Here’s who I’d like to find:

• Teens that blog (about books, movies, music, anything in general)
• Anyone new to blogging and wanting to share their story

Leave a comment if you’re interested in becoming a part of this! Thanks!

Hello readers! I thought it was about time for a new layout here at bibliochic.com. It’s nothing too different, just a little snazzier and updated. I’m going to begin putting more things in the sidebars as well for everyone to enjoy. Keep reading!

Reviewing Policy
If you are an author or publisher who would like to send me a YA or middle-grade book, ARC, e-book, or audiobook for review, please email me at melissa@bibliochic.com. I have extensive experience reading YA, and am currently in school to be come a teen librarian at a public library. I have worked in publishing, previously, and also as a copyeditor. I have been reviewing books on blogs for several years now. This blog has continued to grow since it’s creation, and currently receives about 500 unique hits a month (with every month adding more and more).

• I will consider primarily YA fiction for review, however I am open to reviewing YA nonfiction and adult fiction that could have crossover appeal to young adults, especially fantasy. I would also be interested in reviewing graphic novels and manga.
• I will review every book I receive, as long as it is expected. I can’t promise to review unexpected books, but as long as I can fit it into my schedule (I am a student after all) I will review.
• You can read my blog for my review style–I tend to be positive. However, I will be honest.
• I don’t make any money from this blog, it’s simply for mine and my reader’s benefit.
• I am also interested in author reviews, giveaways, and contests. I’d be happy to work with you to promote a book!

Thank you!

Hey world! This blog is due for a revitalization and updates! I will be blogging here again, with a much more purposeful focus: writing about the latest teen book releases (and the classics), plus topics that are important to teens worldwide. I’ve been a fan of teen literature ever since, well, I’ve been a teen!

I’m looking forward to putting my small mark on the world through this blog. I’ve been writing for years, on and off the Internet. My interests span far and wide, but essentially, I’m a kid at heart.

I’m also looking forward to hearing from my readers as well, so feel free to hit me back with a comment!

Watch out the rest of this week for my take on the US Supreme Court and the case of the 13-year-old that was strip searched, Melina Marchetta’s Printz-award winning novel, Jellicoe Road, and I’ll be discussing all the buzz surrounding the upcoming movie, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Till later!
