Becca Ritchie is a Georgia native studying English and Mass Media Arts at UGA. Most of her time is spent reading—pretty much anything—but most often you can catch her with a Young Adult book in hand. She's a fan of Bluebell, Alabama and vampires who live in Mystic Falls. She also runs a YA book blog called Nawanda Files (http://nawandafiles.blogspot.com)with a girl who looks far too much like her. Follow her on Twitter @Becca_Ritchie. You can email her at beccaritchie3@gmail.com After a strong premiere, striking the hearts of 4.14 million viewers, The CW has ordered a full season of “Arrow.” The show’s premiere was also the best for The CW since “The Vampire Diaries” first aired in 2009, and ”Arrow” proved to hold a dedicated audience, the second episode drawing in 3.5 million viewers.
Stephen Amell who plays Oliver Queen got a little too excited by the good news. He took to Twitter before The CW officially announced the full-season order, and later, he apologized. Here’s his twitter feed (amusing as always):
Best way to start a Monday? Getting picked up for your back nine episodes. Thwick. #Arrow
