Super Secret Project Update :) Prize!

Leave a comment

Sooo many of you have been superkind and generous and have sent birthday e-mails (and a few other notes) to me to give to the fab Editor K on her birthday.

And . . .

I decided to give something back.

If you’ve already sent me a birthday note

OR

You send me one via e-mail (jess_burkhart AT hotmail DOT com (this is the easiest for me to print :))

then you’re entered into a random drawing to win one of two *signed* copies of SCANDALS, RUMORS, LIES, when I get them. Yaaay!

Deadline: November 7th

Thank you, Team Canterwood, it has meant so much to read all of your birthday notes and I can’t wait to pass them on. 😀

Shhh . . . secret and I need Team Canterwood’s help!

Okay, so . . .

Editor K’s birthday is November 10th. As you know, she’s the one who made Canterwood possible. She has worked on every book to make it as fun, fast, and horsey as can be and she’s the reason why there are going to be 16 books.
I want her birthday to be a big deal.
So, guys, I’m asking for a favor–a really, really important one.
If you could, whenever you like, e-mail me (long, short, whatever you like!) a happy birthday note to Kate, I’ll save them all, print them and give them to her on her birthday.
If you don’t want to send an email, then maybe you could Tweet at her–she’s @EditorK on Twitter on 11/10.
This would mean SO much to me and I really want to give something back to the amazing person who has done so much for our favorite books. We owe her a ton of thanks and I want this to be a supersparkly birthday.
And guess what else? You can also send cards to:
Kate Angelella
c/0 Simon & Schuster
1230 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10020
Thank you all. Much love! ❤

Bubbly girls’ nite

Busy day today. Two appointments then back home to prep for champagne celebration girl-date with BFF. (Cross your fingers that I don’t trip in my new heels. They are pretty and sparkly!)

Nothing like a low-key night at a gorge Manhattan hot-spot to relieve a some stress. 🙂 Pics to come!

The Mystery of Kate Angelella

Leave a comment

Kate and I have recently become addicted to My Little Pony snacks. This came after a long convo about how we both had MLP collections as kids. They’re just so cute and fun and pretty! Kate, however, reveal a deep dark secret! Yes, she used to bite the legs of her ponies! Totally admit–they had a certain scent that was . . . intriguing as a kid. (I, um, went through a cherry chapstick eating phase, so . . .) But it makes me heart her more!

But sooo cute! And nostalgic!


Yay, Friday!

Happy Friday, everyone!

What’s everyone up to this weekend? I’ll be working on the latest Canterwood book and reading. I just finished watching PRETTY LITTLE LIARS and OMG. So. Good! I’ve read every book except for the latest two and am re-reading the series with Kate. It’s really, really fun to read books with a friend and have the same !!! reactions to certain parts.

Hope you all have a superfun weekend! 🙂

TGIF!

Thoughts about Eclipse

Leave a comment

Last night, I went to see ECLIPSE with Kate and Ross. We got to the theater around 11:50ish and it was already packed. We were almost about to leave because we didn’t want to split up in the theater and three seats together were sooo not happening. Then, in a supersparkly way, three seats opened up in the front row. *freaks*

We grabbed the seats and the energy from the crowd was INTENSE. Screaming girls were all around and everyone was losing it. The majority of the midnight crowd at our theater? They were, without a doubt, Team Jacob. !!! Gotta admit, though, I was/am Team Edward, but ECLIPSE is my favorite book and it got me to a place of being torn between Jacob and Edward. It also was so well written as a possibility for a person (Bella) to be in love with two people.

The action in ECLIPSE was intense, the CGI was flawless (Edward’s sparkle was fab), and I liked Bryce Dallas Howard as Victoria. More romance and Jacob/Bella time was definitely lacking for me as were more talking/intimate moments between Edward and Bella since they were going back and forth about being engaged. This is an instance where I felt the book was better than the movie. But I still enjoyed it greatly and can’t wait for it to come out on DVD. It actually made me want to reread ECLIPSE while the movie is fresh in my brain.

I hope everyone who wanted to see it last night made it to theaters! 🙂 Major hearts to K for going out with me and R for being awesome about seeing another Twilight Saga flick.

I Tweeted pics about everything yesterday AND as if ECLIPSE coming out wasn’t enough, Barnes & Noble has released CITY SECRETS!! Yaaay for Canterwood Crest #9!

Eclipse at midnight!!! :)

Just got back from the theater where I picked up three tickets for tonight’s midnight showing of ECLIPSE. As long as the BFF is feeling up for a couple hours out, we’re planning on hitting the show. I. Am. So. Freaking. Excited.

I’ve got my light blue “Team Edward” T-Shirt and Kate’s wearing her “Team Jacob” shirt.


This is a superfun dream catcher keychain that came with my NEW MOON DVD. I offered it to Kate to match her shirt, but she just shook her head. I knew better than to ask if she’d like to use it, but I tried. 😀 Instead, I clipped it to my purse.

The theater is going to be CRAZY. It was superintense last time with guys and girls both getting into the vampires vs werewolves drama. There’s lots of action in this movie, so I’m betting the girls will be dragging their secretly not-so-reluctant boyfriend along.
,
Will take pics of the insanity if possible . . . Happy ECLIPSE release and I hope that everyone who’s going tonight has so much fun!

I. Am. So. Ready. For. Eclipse.

Anyone else getting *ridicuously* excited about ECLIPSE? I am about to fangirl out. Seriously. It’s my fave book of the four and I’m soooo ready for the movie! I’ll be going in my Team Edward t-shirt with the BFF in her Team Jacob shirt. Yep, we’re besties who agree to disagree on teams. 🙂

Stealing this photo from @JRAngelella’s Twitter. It’s the *first* pic of @KateAngelella’s Nancy Drew! It’s called Nancy Drew (Secret Sabotage: Book One of the Sabotage Mystery Trilogy.) I watched Carolyn Keene aka Kate write this book and it’s soo exciting to have an official pic of it out in the wild! 🙂 Yaaay! I’ve got my copy, now I just need her to autograph it . . .

PS–Check out the purple nails. Sally Hansen in HD purple. So. Pretty. K painted mine in a superfun black that I heart.

PPS–I highly encourage Team Canterwood to check it out since Editor K penned it.

xoxo and happy weekend!

Summer vlogs–yay!

Leave a comment

Hi, Team Canterwood!

I hope everyone’s out of school by now (yaaay, summer!) or at least very close to getting out.

Summer seems like the perfect time to share things that I love, so I’m going to be doing a series of fun summer vlogs!

I’ll be doing vlogs with summer book recommendations of my fave reads, a view of my sparkly lipgloss collection and lots of *very* fun things. Plus, as a superawesome bonus BFF/Editor K will be filming some of these so I’m able to move the camera better and be more active in the vlogs. Yay!

Happy summer! 😀

PS–The Canterwood Website will be getting a MAJOR makeover this summer and I’ll be sure to post when the changes are up.
