2011 Beach Reads Summer Challenge!
It’s that time of year again….SUMMER! The time in which we all worship the sun god, and read copious amounts of books, hopefully at the beach. This means it’s also time for the 2011 Beach Reads Summer Challenge! I hosted this last year with a few other awesome bloggers. They were busy this year, so it’s all me. However I have been working hard and I’m hoping that you’ll enjoy the lineup of games, prizes and awesome guest posts I have scheduled for the next two months! ********** Now, down to the details. Timeline: The challenge will run from July…

Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop!
Tweet Hi everyone hopping and following! Welcome! If you happen to follow my humble little blog here, please leave a comment so I can follow you back! What is the most scene in a book that you have read lately? Oh man. Hands down, the book Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz wins for emotional scenes! I can’t spoil, but let’s just say that the family in that book just can’t catch a break and near the end something happens that just…AH! Breaks your heart in two. I think I sobbed through the last 150 pages of that book. Get a box…

The Fanatic Report – Week of 2/28 to 3/6
I really need to make a new button for this, but since I haven’t had time to do this feature in…well months…I just never got around to it. However it’s coming back! I’ll have a new button next week. The Fanatic Report is a collection of all things happening on the blog from the week before and the week to come. It’s also a bevy of random things I’ve found, things I think are cool, and the like. In other words, it’s utter chaos. ENJOY! *** In case you missed it: 2/28 – I reviewed The Midnight Tunnel: A Suzanna Snow Mystery by…

Random Books: The Storm Edition
I haven’t done this in a while, but I finally have a day to myself and I missed this feature :). Basically this is a feature where I pick 3 books that fit a theme, and then share them with you. *** Today’s theme is storms! (Since one just passed over us with a vengeance.) *** Orokos is a city of chaos, lashed by probability storms that re-order the world wherever they strike. It covers every inch of the rocky island that it dominates. It has stood for so long that history has forgotten it, and its citizens no longer question…

Random Books: The Waiting 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! *** This week my theme is “waiting”. I’m currently waiting for a lot of things. Winter break. A better job. Thanksgiving turkey! NOM NOM NOM. So away we go! *** Twelve-year-old Addie tries to cope with her mother’s erratic behavior and being separated from her beloved…

In my Mailbox – Delicious Bookishness
I know I’d said I’d post a vlog today, but I woke up in a foul mood and I haven’t been able to shake it. Trust me, you wouldn’t want me to vlog today. LOL.

As always, many thanks to Kristi at The Story Siren for hosting! For Review: The Healing Spell by Kimberley Griffiths Little Broken Birds, The Story of My Momila by…
