Fun Weekly Findings

This is a new feature I'm going to be doing where I am going to share one new thing I discovered this past week- it can be absolutely anything, from a new word I learned, to a new cover release I found, to a new book blog I discovered, or anything else. It's going to be a fun way for me to share cool new stuff- bookish or non-bookish! I will share only one thing or many, whatever I feel like.

1. I only have one thing to share this week but it's awesome news if you haven't heard it yet. They have officially chosen the actress to play Clary in an upcoming City of Bones movie! Cassandra Clare posted about it on her blog here.

Clary will be played by Lily Collins (she was in The Blind Side). I can see her as Clary, I think she's a great choice! (With red hair, of course). I can't wait for the movie to come out, though I'm nervous at the same time because I think it would be very easy to screw it up like some other movie adaptions of novels I've seen.

What do you think of the casting choice?

In My Mailbox VLOG (13)

In My Mailbox is a super cool meme hosted by The Story Siren, to give book bloggers opportunities to share books they've recieved.

This week I have a VLOG... I will be covering I've gotten in the past 3 weeks since it's been a while since I've done one of these posts! I apologize it's a little long because of that, and I cut out a few parts where I felt like I was rambling to make it shorter.

Fun Weekly Findings

This is a new feature I'm most likely going to be posting on it's own, but for today it's sharing a post with In My Mailbox. I am going to share one new thing I discovered this past week- it can be absolutely anything, from a new word I learned, to a new cover release I found, to a new book blog I discovered, or anything else. It's going to be a fun way for me to share cool new stuff- bookish or non-bookish! I will share only one thing or many, whatever I feel like.

I'll start the first post of Fun Weekly Findings by sharing a variety of things.

1. New Book Blogs I've Discovered!

Though I didn't join the Blogger Hop, I visited a couple of blogs from the list at Crazy For Books anyway.
Here are a few blogs I've recently started following:

Scribing Shadows

Books by their Story

Words and Whispers

Swords for Fighting

They all have great book blogs that should be checked out! I'm glad I discovered them.


2. Beautiful Days by Anna Godbersen

I still haven't read Bright Young Things but I hope I can soon! I saw the cover for the second one- it looks great, as they usually do.







3. Starbucks Peppermint White Mocha
Oh my gosh if you haven't had it it's amazing. That's all I need to say. (Oh yes, and their red Christmas cups!)



I'm not making this a meme or anything... just something I'm doing for myself, but if you would like to join in leave a link to your post in the comments!

In My Mailbox (10)

Welcome to In My Mailbox! IMM is a meme hosted at The Story Siren with some inspiration from Alea of Pop Culture Junkie.

The idea behind IMM was not only to put new books on your radar but to also encourage blogger interaction. IMM explores the weekly contents of my mailbox & books bought. And sometimes other fun goodies.

Anyone can participate in IMM and you are not limited to only sharing books that arrive via your mailbox. You can also share books that you've bought or books that you've gotten at the library.

Video this week! Yay!

In My Mailbox (8)/Week In Review

After a couple of dull weeks, I finally got a lot of awesome stuff this week! Yay! So I figured that deserved a video. :)



I hate watching myself in videos... oh well, I'll try not to watch this one (*especially the first 8 seconds, just ignore those, it's awful!). I know I tend to say "um" a lot, but hey, it's my first video!

Upcoming Reads For This Week:
Impossible by Nancy Werlin

Second week in a row where I didn't recieve anything... It's a bit depressing! The past week has been insanely busy though, and I haven't had any time to sit down and read either! This coming week I'll be a lot less busy, so expect more reviews. :)

Week In Review

No In My Mailbox this week, because I haven't gotten anything! It's a bit sad, actually. But it's been another busy week.
