Guess what today is? (As if the post title alone isn’t obvious enough.)
It’s my birthday!
I (sadly) turned 19 today, aka one more year until I turn into the big two-zero. This is also the last year I am a teenager, which is plain sad. (I’ll get even more funny/weird looks when people see me playing Pokemon on the train.)
Since I hardly blog about my personal non-bookish life on Effortlessly Reading, I decided that hey, why not tell you guys a little bit more about myself on my birthday?
I’m a bit embarrassed to admit that I took longer than a hour to come up with this list. :P
1. I’m obsessed with Criminal Minds, Supernatural, Big Brother, Survivor, and Supernatural. Unlike my friends, I don’t really like watching K-dramas because they are so long in length (they are usually one hour without any commercials guys) and I have a short attention span. My current addiction is watching my childhood obsession, Sailor Moon (dude, how can I not notice all those inconsistencies in the anime when I was a kid?) because of the Lunar Chronicles, and Pokemon.
2. I’m currently in love with eating Lacey’s dark chocolate and almond cookies. They are only available in Trader Joe’s (in New York City, I don’t know if they are also available in other stores in other states) and they are delicious. I highly recommend it.
3. I currently have a job working with kids. I don’t really like it (but the kids love me for some strange reason), but I want the pocket money and the experience. My resume is perfect for becoming a teacher or some other job working with kids, but I don’t want to work with kids.
4. I’m in love with Charmanders (from Pokemon). Just look at the adorableness below!
5. Writing essays and book reviews comes naturally to me; it comes extremely easy to me. I had a 7 to 8 page essay to write and in two hours, I came up with ten pages of material, edited it all by myself, and got an A on it. Writing essay type things just comes effortlessly to me.
6. I don’t wear any makeup, unless lip gloss counts as makeup. In fact, I don’t know how to apply any type of makeup, unless it’s lip gloss. I don’t have any sort of makeup at all either.
7. I don’t know what major I want to major in, which is HORRIBLE, especially since I need to tell my college what I’m planning to major in in less than a year. Eep!
8. I’m not a forgiving person once someone really hurts me. I can hold a grudge for a very long, long time.
9. I do not know my own cell phone number. Yes, I’m serious. Every time someone asks me for my number, I take out my cell phone, where there is a sticker on the back that has my phone number written on it and show it to that person. They always end up laughing or looking at me in disbelief.
10. I have a short memory, so every time I need to remember something, I jot it down (which is the main reason why I take notes while I read). I normally jot it down on the palm of my hand using a pen because I don’t check the scraps of paper I write my notes on. I have a feeling I may get ink poisoning one day.
And that’s all for now!
Now time for the giveaway!
To celebrate my birthday, I’m giving away these five books below:
- A book with one of my favorite covers released in November: a SIGNED hardback of Champion by Marie Lu
- One of my favorite books written by an author I met in November: a SIGNED ARC of Smoke by Ellen Hopkins
- My most anticipated book released in November: an ARC of Crash Into You by Katie McGarry
- My favorite November-released book that I’ve read: a hardback edition of Pawn by Aimee Carter from The Book Depository.
- A book I’m looking forward to reading in November: a SIGNED ARC of White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Terms & Conditions:
- This contest is open INTERNATIONALLY.
- The giveaway will run until December 31, 2013.
- You must be 18 years or older, or have parents’ permission to enter.
- All your entries will be disqualified if you pickup entries for something you haven’t done. (I had to do this for so many of my last giveaways, please don’t make me do this again.)
- If you only use ONE account to do all these tasks and enter under different names, they will still only constitute as ONE entry.
- If the winner does not respond to my e-mail within 48 hours, I will have to choose another winner.
- I am not responsible for any items lost in the mail.
Happy birthday Kelly! Turning 19 may just be the best thing ever! Cheers!
I wish I can be 19 again. ;)
Hoping to win a copy of Pawn.
Ha ha, for some reason, I highly doubt it. :P
I wish I can be, uh, 16 again. :D
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Bookish Things I Am Thankful For
Haha! I hope you already beat the birthday blues. :)
OMGSH HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :D
And HUSH, you are not old. Don’t say that! Makes me feel even older :p
There is nothing wrong with playing Pokemon! I’m 25 and I have an obsession with Hello Kitty (actually I’m currently wearing fluffy Hello Kitty pajamas and I am not ashamed) and I still like cartoons. You’re never too old for that stuff! Sailor Moon! Ahhh, I miss that show so much! I tried to watch the series again earlier in the year, but I only made it into the teens and I just didn’t have time. Plus there’s like, a million episodes lmao.
Those cookies look so good! I admire you for working with kids. I volunteered in my gym’s child care facility once…I actually loved it because I got to play with them, but they’re very exhausting and I only have a certain amount of tolerance for them. I’m certainly not ready to have my own! I like when I can play with them and give them back lol! Charmander IS totally adorable, but my favorite was always Vulpix! Cubone was really cute, too.
Writing essays is easy?! I hate you right now. I totally SUCK at writing papers. :( I like to wear makeup because I like the way my eyes look, but I’m too lazy to put it on so I rarely ever use it. I don’t have a major either, in fact, I haven’t even finished college and I’m not currently attending. So don’t stress about that! I can’t remember anything either! My memory is absolutely awful. If I don’t write it down, it’s gone.
Thanks for sharing these facts, I enjoyed learning more about you! (*ahem* You know, you should participate in Life of a Blogger so I can learn more ;D)
Side note, I totally just saw your button. How have I not seen it before?! *grabs button*
Jessi @ Novel Heartbeat recently posted…Life of a Blogger: Favorite Bands
Thank you Jessi! :D<3
I am old according to my standards. In a year, I'll be TWENTY. TWENTY. THE BIG 2-0. -flails-
Awww, that's so cute Jessi! I know what I'm getting you when you come over to NYC. ;D
Ha ha, I only got to season 3 of Sailor Moon and kind of gave up. It was too tedious; I watched 55 cheesy episodes in a week. :P
They are SO good. You have to try some! If you still haven't tried any when you come to NYC, I'll make you eat one. You'll love it too. :D
Oh yes, the kids are VERY exhausting. They all love me for some weird reason (okay, not weird, I totally talk Pokemon with them :P) and they always bug me to do things for them and ignore the other teacher's assistant. And having my own kids? Uhh.... -shudders- SO not ready for that either.
Ha ha, I'll show you a Vulpix in the game, but Pokemon X nor Y doesn't have it. I think I MIGHT have caught a Cubone or the evolution of it...
Essays come so easily to me. That's why I love writing book reviews. :D
It's sad that I don't know how to put on makeup; I feel like I'm missing a girl skill, if you know what I mean.
You never finished college, yet you have a full-time job? Amazing! I want to be like that, but knowing my parents, they will KILL me.
I will totally participate; it's just that I don't have any favorite bands. :P
-hides before I see your rage LOL-

I haven’t read any of these books but I am definitely excited for Smoke- I’ve heard some good things about it.. Ok, that’s a lie- I’m excited for all of the books… I love books… I probably should just rename myself Bookmonster :S
Yay for some Smoke love! <3
That book is AMAZING.
And don't worry, I totally get you. ;D
If I haven't read them all (except for White Hot Kiss), I'll feel the same way you do.
Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Bookish Things I Am Thankful For
First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
And the books I’m looking most forward to is Pawn. It sounds so good!
Thank you Kelley! :D
Pawn is SO good. I’m sure you’ll love it Kelley! (:

Kelly recently posted…Top Ten Bookish Things I Am Thankful For
As a 29 year old just months away from turning 30, I completely know how you are feeling. But I will say, the twenties are SO much better than the teens. You are making choices about your life you never got to before. And no high school. I mean that alone is just the best thing ever.
Happy Birthday dear and I hope this last teen year is the best ever!

OMG you’re so young hehe! I am 26, turning old 27 in just 4 months….I can’t believe it. I remember when I was 19 and without worries….
Don’t worry, you still have to play with Charmanders, he’s too cute to let him go. (I still can’t let go Pluto). Happy Birthday! Have fun ;)
Gaby recently posted…Book Review: A Very Scandalous Holiday
I have not read any of them so I want them all!!! But the one I’m most excited about is White Hot Kiss. I just love Jennifer Armentrout!! ^^
Thank you for the giveaway and Happy Birthday!! :D
Happy Birthday! I know a little bit how you feel, I turned 18 a month or so ago and I feel old already, but there’s nothing else to do than accept it and enjoy the perks of being older n.n
Nicol recently posted…Reseña: NAOMI AND ELY’S NO KISS LIST de David Levithan y Rachel Cohn
Well, thanks for making me feel SUPER OLD, Kelly! ;P
I think Charmanders are adorable, too! ^_^ I’ve seen those Lacey’s cookies around, and wondered about them, but never tried them! Now I think I’m going to pick some up next time I see them. I don’t wear makeup either, aside from chapstick. Although sometimes I will apply some eyeliner (and the only reason I know anything about makeup is because my mom was an Avon lady when I was a teenager!).
Don’t let choosing a college major stress you out too much. It’s not like it will be set in stone, so just choose something you find interesting and know that you can modify it later if/when you decide you need to. Even I, who knew *exactly* what I wanted to major in? I ended up changing mine within the first year because I learned about so much more cool stuff!
Gosh, your memory sounds a lot like time! Yeah, if I don’t write something down, chances are good that I will forget it a few minutes later. >_< I guess that's why I'm also an excellent note-taker, at least in work/school!
Anyway, happy birthday, Kelly! I hope you have a fabulous day. :)

19 is not old. 23 is. Ha ha kidding. I sometimes like to think that I’m 20 ’cause 23 seems daunting but then 24 is less than 6 months away so eeep.
Also, you must really like Supernatural ’cause you mentioned it twice. =P
I’ve no idea what Pokemon is all about but I do want to start reading mangas soon (either Fruits Basket or Naruto) and I watch RWBY by RoosterTeeth which is just ah-mazing.
Here’s to rockin’ 19! =D

Hahaha, like I don’t feel old enough already ;) Happy birthday!
It took me such a long time to memorize my phone number too! But I finally know it, that’s why I never want to switch again, haha. I’m not a forgiving person either.. I still hold a grudge against people who hurt me years ago. I also feel like book reviews come natural to me. It doesn’t take me much time and I think most of the effort is the language thing. No make-up, great! i like it when girls are all natural, although I’m not on of them. I like to have at least a couple of things on my face :p

I love Charmanders and Squirtle =D
I haven’t read any of the books yet and I’m most excited for Pawn.
Thank you for the giveaway ^^
Happy Birthday! ♥ I love Criminal Minds, too! And I feel you on watching K-Dramas. Not only are they ridiculously long, they have more repetitive cliches than a typical YA book!
Happy Birthday to you! I hope you have the most awesome, fantastic birthday yet. You really deserve it. Thank you for sharing little things about yourself. I haven’t read any of these books yet. I own Crash Into You but haven’t gotten to read it yet. I’m looking forward to reading White Hot Kiss and Pawn. They both sound incredible. Once again thank you for the giveaways. We should be the ones giving you presents not the other way around. ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KELLY.
You make me feel old. (Even though I’m not that much older than you.) SAILOR MOON, ALWAYS.
I am totally sideeying you because you find essays easy to write. I am the opposite. It is hard for me to write an 8 page essay in two hours. I am a horrible procrastinator so I applaud your greatness. ;D My eyes are popping out because you don’t know your own cellphone number? o_O I won’t be surprised if you forget your own name and have to wear a name tag. ;DDDDD I HAVE A SHORT TERM MEMORY TOO. I always think I’ll remember it, but nope. I never remember if I’ve locked my door when I actually have. It’s completely annoying to be paranoid that I hadn’t done it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KELLY! I hope you have a wonderful day with books :p I remember I felt exactly like you last year when I turned 19. Now I’m going to be 20 in a week and let me tell you, I feel so sad for losing my teen years so quickly. I wish I could go back, even for just a little bit. So, cherish you’re last year as a teen remember, no regrets :D
I’m really excited for Champion and Pawn. I wouldn’t mind reading either though Pawn would be better because I haven’t started the series for Champion. I would have to buy the first two books and binge read the series. Which would actually be awesome. Or I could just start new with Aimee Carter’s Pawn :D Thanks for the giveaway! ^_^
I really enjoyed Crash Into You! I’m most excited for Champion!!! And Smoke for sure :)
I’m excited for Champion and Crash Into You!! Thanks for celebrating with us. Happy Birthday! :)
Len D. recently posted…When Google Reader is Dying.
Happy birthday. :) I completely understand how you feel. I’m turning 18 in two months and it just seems… weird. And I feel old too.
First, Happy Birthday! Those zero birthdays really hit hard, though I don’t think 20 was so bad for me, but I’ve never hit 30. Never. I don’t plan to do so, either. Ever.
As for the books – I want to read all of them. They are all on my TBR list, but I haven’t been able to get them yet. I really want to read Pawn, and Champion, and Smoke, of course. OK – all of them. But Pawn is at the top of my list. You are amazing, giving such a gift for your birthday. And thanks for sharing information about yourself, too.
Happy Birthday, Kelly! 19 is not old, try being on the other end of 20! Hope you have a fantastic birthday. Thanks for the giveaway. I haven’t read any of these books yet but I am really looking forward to all of them, especially Crash into You, White Hot Kiss and Pawn..

I have only read Smoke(: and I’m most looking forward to Champion and Pawn. I recently bought Legend, but I haven’t had time to read it yet (too many library books to finish first!). I’ve been seeing some mixed reviews about it, but that’s to be expected with a series :o
As for Pawn, I keep hearing some great stuff, so yay(:
You are not old! Although I admit I might get a little sad when I turn 19, too. It’s coming too quickly! Haha

I’m kind of facing it myself…but I will remain strong. And keep all the cool stuff that people think 20 yrs olds don’t do. :)
I’ve read PAWN and loved it! I’m looking forward to Champion. :)

I'm a bit shocked that you haven't found your major yet. I think you'd be a great writer. I love how you blog that's why its one of my fave blogs ever. But that's my opinion. Just choose what you love to do. That way you wouldn't feel like you're working ;)
Good luck to you Kelly and to your blog and future too :D

I haven’t read any of these books but Pawn by Aimee Carter and White Hot Kiss by Jennifer L. Armentrout sound great!
Thanks so much for the giveaway :)
(As for your concern about ageing: you’re only as old as you want to be. Never forget that) :)
Those books look SO great! I’m a huge Jennifer L Armentrout, so that’s probably the one I’m most looking forward to, but I can’t wait for Crash Into You and Pawn, and just started the Legend series!

Writing book reviews comes effortlessly to me too, but dude can I have your amazing essay writing skills? I am SUPER jealous that you can write a 10 page essay in 2 housr and get an A on it! It takes me weeks to even do a 2 page essay. xD Ugh. I envy you lol. I am also a big fan of Supernatural. I love the Winchester boys especially Dean. :) Lol my best friend doesn’t know her own cell phone number too. I’m like HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW? Happy birthday!

I have to say the one I am most excited about now is Crash Into Me. I have been devouring Ms. McGarry’s books this past week and have LOVED them so I am looking forward to Isiah’s story now. I read Championalready and loved it. Pawn is also on my TBR list and have been reading great things about it. :)
Happy (belated) Birthdaaay! You’re making me feel old ;)
I also never can remember my cell phone number, I don’t know why people think I should, it’s not like I call myself haha. Also, good luck with decided a major! I know it can be frustrating, it took me a little before I could decide what I wanted to do. Anyway, hope you had an awesome one!

I’m soooo excited for champion! I love the trilogy and can’t wait to read the last book and see how it all ends. YAY champion :D
I really want to read Pawn! I’ve wanted to read it ever since I saw your review about it!
I also really want to read Champion!
P.S. Happy Birthday! :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I wish I was still a teenager! I just turned 22 and it’s scary how grown up I have to be. I have bills to pay!! :(

Have also read Pushing the Limits & Dare You To by Katie McGarry and have been waiting for Crash Into You for AGES!
Have also been trying to get an ARC copy of Pawn for a while but was unable, so this giveaway would be the BEST THING EVER to win.

I haven’t read any of those books YET and I really want to win the signed hardback copy of Champion because I’ve started reading legend, the first book of the series. Thanks for the awesome giveaway! :D
Happy Belated Birthday! I love Supernatural, that series is so much fun! It’s great that writing essays comes naturally to you, that’s an awesome skill to have. LOL It took me two years to memorize my number, I saved it on my contact list so I’d show people it when they asked me for my number. I’m not sure which I’m more excited for Crash Into You or Champion. Thank you for the giveaway! :)
I finished CRASH INTO YOU last week and dear God, I loved Isaiah and Logan. Their bromance was probably my favourite part fo the whole thing haha! I’m really anxious for CHAMPION’s conclusion, so I’m more excited for WHITE HOT KISS and gargoyles. I grew up with that TV show, so Armentrout’s spin on it should be interesting :D
I’m definitely most excited about White Hot Kiss, I love Jennifer’s books!!
Definitely all about that White Hot Kiss by JLA!
I’m so excited about CRASH INTO YOU!!! Thanks for the giveaway

I want to read White Hot Kiss, and I have not read any of these yet.
Happy birthday Kelly
I had to laugh because sometimes when I go to post something on my 21 year old son’s Facebook wall, I will see a discussion between him and some of his college Science and Engineering friends about Pokemon. :)
I really want to read Champion by Marie Lu!! :D
All these sound and look like very good reads! Looking forward to getting my hands on Champion and the other books! :)
Hi Kelly! :)
Belated Happy Birthday! :) There’s nothing wrong being 19. I am 19 myself and will be turning 20 next month! *the big 2.0*
I think 19’s fun, well for me. I graduated last April in college ;) So don’t worry about your course, you can shift courses! <3 Uni life was so fun (again, for me) — the balancing of independence, studies and of course, overjoyed crowds ;) No one's there to judge you :D
I've just read Pawn yesterday, it didn't captivate me that much but it was good. I had too much questions bugging me! But the thing was: I like KNOX <3
A HUGE Happy Birthday to you !!! I I haven’t read any of those books and I’m really looking forward to reading them, especially Champion
Happy Birthday! x I love Sailor Moon too, so don’t worry, you’re not alone :D

I haven’t had the chance to read any of these but I can’t wait to get my hands on White Hot Kiss and Crash Into You.
Happy Birthday! I know what you feel about this being your last TEEN year… I turned 19 in March but I still haven’t gotten used to it and I don’t want to let go of being a teenager…
Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

aww I love your facts! I also LOVE pokemon and Charmander as well as Squirtle are my favorite! I’m 23 and still play Pokemon on my Nintendo. Oh as for K-dramas, kinda sad you don’t like them but I would recommend Reply 1997 since it is only around 45 minutes an episode (so almost like a normal american show).. OH! Have you checked out The Mentalist or The Good Wife? I have a feeling those are american shows you might like.. anyways HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! :)

Happy Birthday!!! I think I arrive a little late, but better late than never, right?
Okay, I’m fangirling right now after seeing White Hot Kiss on that pile of books.
I’ve read Crash Into You and it was also my most expected book of that month too. I’ve also read White Hot Kiss and I loved it sooo much that I want to have it *O* Btw, I’m team Roth. Just saying…. hahaha
And the other two books, Smoke and Champion, I haven’t had the chance to read it, but I would love to.
Great giveaway. Thank you so much for hosting it! :D

I’ve read Champion and I thought it was a great ending to the Legend series! Really looking forward to reading Pawn as well, it sounds very good from what I’ve heard. Happy new year and holidays!
Yay, Happy birthday!

Happy birthday!!!!!
I haven’t read any of those but I want to read Champion in the future.
I’ve read and loved Crash Into You, super excited for Champion and Pawn. Thanks for a giveaway! :)
I cannot wait for Champion by Marie Lu.
Your ten random facts are amazing and I can relate to all of them. I turned 20 in January (and now it’s less than 4 months before I turn 21 *cries*) and I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that I should be a mature adult.
The phone number thing? I’ve had the same number for 6 years and I still don’t know it off by heart, haha! For a while, I had a wallpaper with my number on it, but all the icons got in the way so I had to change it. Now it’s more of a “how about you give me YOUR number” thing.
Same thing with the notes. I write stories and always get good ideas at the most awkward times. One time, I was in the queue to go to the bathroom at a club and asked a girl if I could borrow her eyeliner. Needless to say, the next morning my arm was all smudged and I could barely make out the awesome idea that had come to me… which sucks, because I STILL don’t remember what it was.
(Yes, I might be stalking your blog. It’s too pretty to leave)
