In My Mailbox – Vlog the Second
Are you ready for more? I got so many great responses last week to my vlog (thank you by the way!) that I decided to do it again. Early morning light makes anyones face look awful. However I adore you, so here you go! As always, this is hosted by the fabulous blog The Story Siren! If you are the first one to see this, could you kindly go and post a link for me on the IMM page on The Story Siren’s blog? I would, but I’m lost in the mountains :).

Mental Sanity Weekend
This is a quick note to let you all know that I’m off to the mountains for the weekend! I won’t be posting tomorrow (unless trees suddenly develop wireless capabilities) however I DID record a vlog that I’ve scheduled to go up on Sunday! Yup, now you won’t miss me as much ;). There was a post that was supposed to fill this spot, but I know that the author has been ill and likely hasn’t had the time to answer my interview questions. As a person who just got better, I feel that. Therefore I will simply post it…

Book Review: Angus, Thongs and Full-Frontal Snogging: Confessions of Georgia Nicolson
She has a precocious 3-year-old sister who tends to leave wet nappies at the foot of her bed, an insane cat who is prone to leg-shredding “Call of the Wild” episodes, and embarrassing parents who make her want to escape to Stonehenge and dance with the Druids. No wonder 14-year-old Georgia Nicolson laments, “Honestly, what is the point?” A Bridget Jones for the younger set, Georgia records the momentous events of her life–and they are all momentous–in her diary, which serves as a truly hilarious account of what it means to be a modern girl on the cusp of womanhood.…

Movie Review: Machete
Every once in a while I find a movie that I want to chat about with others, but unfortunately there’s no one around. SO you, my dear reader friends, get to hear my commentary? Aren’t you the lucky ones? *** Am I the only one who thought this movie was a joke when it was a trailer in the Grindhouse double feature? Not that I’m angry it’s real! In fact I was pretty excited. Yes friends, side note on me, I’m a teenage guy at heart. I love TWSS jokes, I think death by decapitation is pretty darn cool and…

In My Mailbox – First ever vlog & a GIVEAWAY!
Yup, you win my friends. I did a vlog! I debated, I hemmed, I hawed, then I told myself to stop being ridiculous and just do it already. I’m kind of sick, so I hope I don’t look ridiculous. I also apologize for the plethora of obnoxious things I may or may not do :). This is the first take. It’s a bit gritty because, unlike all you cool people, I don’t have a camera on my computer. So this is taken on my small video camera. It’s 100%, raw, uncut me. You love me right? Books Mentioned For Review:…

Random Books: The Love Edition
Welcome to another edition of Random Books! This is a feature where I type a chosen word into the Goodreads search bar, and choose three books that catch my eye. You then get the random thoughts that go through my head as I learn about the book. It’s a fun way to discover new books! *** The Gallagher Academy for Exceptional Young Women is a fairly typical all-girls school—that is, if every school teaches advanced martial arts in PE, chemistry always consists of the latest in chemical warfare, and everyone breaks CIA codes for extra credit in computer class. So…

Time to do some hopping and following!
Today’s question is: When you read a book that you just can’t get into, do you stick it out and keep reading or move to your next title? I subscribe to the rule that if I’m not smitten with a book within 100 pages, I put it aside in favor of another book! Why? There are way too many books out there that I want to read to slog through a book that I’m really not feeling. Don’t judge me….I see that look. Of course there have been exceptions for me, especially with ARC tours. If I’m given a book for…
