This was a post by Hanna, whose procrastination is coming along fabulously. She is currently reading this play because her final exam in Drama class will be on Friday. Also, she wants to sleep. But no, she has papers to write and deadlines to meet.

Dear Kubi, I cried.
This was a post by Hanna, who is still trying to sort through all of her emotions. She regrets gobbling up a Snickers before she began reading this book because now she has no chocolate bar to turn to while she’s being all weepy. She has just finished reading it and now she wants you to read it, too.

Day 12: A book you used to love but don't anymore
Hanna: Goosebumps by R.L. Stine and Are You Afraid of the Dark? (I used to love these books especially the ones where you get to choose your own ending. This particular Are You Afraid of the Dark book - I think it was Tale of the Nightly Neighbors - actually glowed in the dark and kept me awake when I was a kid. I’d rather read something else right now but I wouldn’t mind reading one...
