Book Drive for Yara

Many/most bloggers by now have heard about Yara, but I wanted to add my voice to the group. Yara from Once Upon a Twilight, and one of the bloggers featured in this round of Blogger Confidential, lost her home to two devastating house fires.

Yara and I met at BEA last May when we stayed in the House of Madness Casa De Blogger. And, Yara probably doesn't know this, but I was really hesitant about meeting her. She does love Twilight after all. And Robert Pattinson. (Yes, I know, that's hugely judgmental of me to feel that way. I don't feel that way anymore). But, almost immediately after meeting her, I really felt a connection. Yara was one of the highlights of BEA for me. We had long chats at the kitchen table about blogging, books, and K-Middy. She was funny, extremely nice, and down to earth.

So, when I heard the news about her house, I was shocked. And immediately wanted to be involved in any effort to help her and her family.

If you'd like to help out, there are a few efforts coordinated by other bloggers to help out.

Book Drive: There is an effort by Mundie Moms (among others) to replace the books in Yara's library.
