Waiting on Wednesday (21)
Today’s Waiting on Wednesday is a novel that I actually having, sitting, waiting for me, on my Kindle, that I haven’t time to read yet but I’m dying to find the time so I can finally read it already – Dealing in Dreams by Lilliam Rivera. I absolutely loved her first novel, The Education of Margot Sanchez and Lilliam is just the best! Today is also my birthday and I only felt it was appropriate to show some love for a fellow Latina badass author, like me (if I do say so myself…)
Top Ten Tuesday – Places Mentioned In Books That I’d Like to Visit
The Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly challenge post previously hosted by The Broke and Bookish and now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. You can follow along for each weekly post here. This week’s post is all about places in books you’d love to visit.

I’m not a well traveled person so its an easy task to do click this over here now!
Ontario Teen Book Fest Blog Tour – Spotlight on Abdi Nazemian
I am so excited to be kicking off the official start of the Ontario Teen Book Fest! As so many of you know, this event means the world to me and has been a staple on What A Nerd Girl Says since my first year as its official blogger in 2013. This event is unlike any other – a place to come together where YA authors, writers, fans and readers create an inclusive community, a place where everyone belongs. I look forward to this event every year and I’m honored to host the Trusted Boilers blog tour every year.
I am even more honored to be kicking off this tour with a spotlight on Abdi Nazemian. I met him at the OTBF last year and can happily call him a friend. I’ve read both of his books – The Authentics, his 2017 YA debut, and Like a Love Story, which releases this June. He’s a fantastic writer and I’m so excited to have him back at the event!
