In My Mailbox 10
In My Mailbox is a weekly post created by The Story Siren and inspired by Alea of Pop Culture Junkie. IMM explores the weekly contents of our mailboxes, as well as books we might have bought this week! Wow….apparently it’s been two months since I’ve done one of these! Although that does make a bit of sense, since I was hosting my reading challenge :). So without further ado, here are two weeks of books for your viewing pleasure! These are all kind of mixed together since there were so many so let me list them out! For Review: Shadow of the Sun…

Let’s do some hopping!
I’ve kind of fallen of the meme wagon, which makes me sad because I DO like participating in them! Sometimes in my quest for “original” content I forget how much memes help you interact with others. So in that spirit, let’s do some hopping shall we? This week’s question is: Do you judge a book by its cover? I’ll admit it! Yes, I totally do! That isn’t to say that I won’t read a book without a lovely cover, but if I’ve never heard of the book before I’m more likely to read it if the cover is stunning! I…

The Fanatic Report 4
Read, watch, and listen! A weekly roundup of interesting things across the web! Yup, you know we always start here. Let’s see what’s going on around A Fanatic’s Book Blog first shall we? * I read TWO books this week that I gave a 5 Keys to My Heart rating too. Yup, two! That doesn’t happen very often. One was of course Paranormalcy by Kiersten White, and the other was The Absolute Value of -1 by Steve Brezenoff. * Due to a mistake on my part, I have an extra copy of Catching Fire (Hunger Games #2) *sigh*. I’m selling it for only…

Teaser Tuesdays (7)
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following: Grab your current read. Open to a random page. Share two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! My Teaser: “Dallin knew he was the captain from what Ethan…

Book Blogger Hop & Follow Friday! August 13th
This week’s question is: How many books do you have on your ‘TBR shelf’? Ummm….well….I have NO idea! It’s more like a TBR bookcase really. If I had to make a guess I’d wager it’s probably over 100! I know that’s actually pretty good compared to most people, but I’ve been doing my best not to buy books anymore so that I can start reading my own books. I can’t help it really. Books call my name, I answer. You know the drill ya’ll! If you stop by to come say hi, please do me a favor and leave me…

“Waiting on” Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine where we share upcoming releases that we just cannot wait for! Sam leads a pretty normal life.

Turns out Douglas is a necromancer who raises the dead for cash and sees potential in Sam. Then Sam discovers he’s a necromancer too, but with strangely latent powers. And his worst nightmare wants to join forces .…
