Today is the first day of the Summer Lovin' Read-a-thon! This month is going to be packed full of read-a-thons for me [this is the first of 3 this month] so I'm hoping I'll be able to get a lot of reading done!
Day 1: Class Orientation (Introduce Yourself)
Hello everyone! For those of you who don't already know me, my name is Samantha. I'm a 20 year old student from Glasgow! I'm currently at University studying Psychology with Interactive Entertainment, which I enjoy most of the time.
I've been reading since I was extremely young. I can't for the life of me remember what it was that got me into reading, but I'm glad it happened.
Book blogging was something I actually didn't come across until last year. I had no idea it existed! I'm so happy that I came across it though because reading other people's blogs and seeing them expressing their love for books was what made me start blogging in the first place.
I read mostly YA/Childrens books & NA novels, but sometimes I'll read some Adult fiction. It really just depends on what kind of mood I'm in - but it's mostly YA/Childrens fiction.

Oh wow, Psychology! I find it really interesting and I enjoyed taking a psychology class. I tend to read up on some concepts for fun sometimes. Across the Universe is a book that I should definitely get around to finding because I've heard good things about it. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSometimes it can be interesting, but there are parts of Psychology that I just don't like or it's far too confusing!
DeleteI'm excited to read it!
i like your choices! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you! :)
DeletePsychology is really awesome ;) I'm doing my bachelor's this fall and I think I get to do child psychology at some point and I'm excited for it. Happy reading this week!
ReplyDeleteIt is! I'm enjoyed it, but I'm looking forward to when we get more in depth about the different careers for psychology. We haven't had much of that yet. Ooh, child psychology sounds really good! I hope you do get to do a bit of it!
DeleteThanks :)
