Hello, Blogosphere! ;D
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Maeghan, otherwise known as Pandorka. I am a college student double-majoring in French and sociology. It's an unusual combination, but I am a bit of an unusual person. :) I've had a passion for languages since middle school and that passion continued to grow once I got into the university. There, I've learned to take everything in stride.
I also work part-time at a book store--I'm frequently in the children's department, which is appropriate for me because I'd like to be a children's librarian. I'm generally not too picky with what I read, but my favorite genre is, without a doubt, fantasy (although you could kinda lump that together with some science fiction and especially dystopian fiction). Anything that's a little different from real life is basically what I enjoy.
Diana Wynne Jones is one of my favorite authors, and we even share a birthday! I am also a big fan of the Harry Potter series by JK Rowling and Percy Jackson & the Olympians by Rick Riordan. I'm really just a big kid! By blogging here I hope to turn you (the readers and possible parents of young readers) onto some of the best stuff out there.
Random facts about me that may amuse you:
- I collect rubber ducks
- English is my mother tongue, but I also know French, as well as some Spanish and American Sign Language. I would like to learn German, Latin, Greek, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese... (I think you see where I'm going with this)
- I have four cats
- I love cooking and baking and frequently visit blogs that feature pictures of pretty food (and the odd stuff, too!)
I'll leave it at that for now; enjoy the blog!

Time to just... START!
Hello all!
Well... Hello to the dear few that have stumbled upon this little corner of the Internet. :) Just popping in to talk about how I really should just jump into the whole blogging thing. I'm really great at READING other people's blogs (I frequently visit my close personal friend and blogging inspiration Pirate Penguin...) but not so great at updating my own.
This is something that I really want to do. I just wish that I were more organized! Perhaps that part will have to come later. I have a little more time for myself than I usually do (I'm a college student with a double-major and I also work part-time... hehe), so this may be one of my only opportunities!
I'll use another post to sort of introduce myself, but then I want to get right into it--my first book review will be for Violet Haberdasher's Knightley Academy!
See you soon!

Pan-who?
Hello, blog world!
Just a quick update after a long period of... well, nothing: I have a few ideas swirling around my head (including, but not limited to a "new" way to blog reviews and a meme of my own creation); I just need the time to put them here and get them going. :)
In other news, I am on a quest to find Camp Half-Blood today with my partner-in-crime, Cristina. >:D This should be fun!
I went to the Teen Author Carnival yesterday in NYC--it was an amazing time. I should elaborate on it... Perhaps in a little while (I promise!). Right now I'm trying to update everything. :3
A bien-tôt!
