I used to play this game with my kids at work all the time, and I thought it would be fun to pop one of these up once in a while for you to vote on! I’ll try to pick two books that are similar to one another and you can join in by choosing your favorite. Lest you worry that I’m saying one is better than the other, I’m not my friends, trust me. In fact I cannot even vote on this one because I love both of these books so much! Still, it’ll be fun to see who…

My other favorite thing besides books is most definitely music! In fact, every moment I’m not reading is generally spent with some type of soundtrack going on in the background. I choose my favorites, and those are the songs that get played over and over until I hear them in my head long after they are over. The Temper Trap is amazing. Their voices, the video, the lyrics…all amazing. This song is catchy and I’m not ashamed to say that I listen to it on repeat! You go guys!

A new calendar of events will go up every Thursday. This is due to the fact that the month started on a Thursday, so that’s how we’ve broken up the month! So without further ado, let’s see what’s happening this week! This week all events are hosted at 21 Pages! This week was a little off, especially because I ran away from my responsibilities for a while (yeah I did) and also because I cannot seem to read calendars.  Calendar of Events for July 22nd – July 29th Sunday July 25th – Calendar Post and Summer Treats! Monday, July 26th – Summer Guest…

Work was getting me down. It’s the end of the year, my kids are tired and I’m feeling the effects. Long story short? I needed to escape! So, I’ve spent a lot of time away from my computer. Hanging with friends, going out, doing things that I usually don’t because I’m supposed to be doing “more important” things. I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER.

Have you ever seen a cover and had a sudden deja vu moment? You realize that you have DEFINITELY seen that same cover somewhere before, but then you just can’t remember when. You know it wasn’t on that particular book though. I had one of those moments and I’ve finally figured it out! Okay so we have all seen Bree Despain’s gorgeous The Dark Divine cover have we not? I loved those legs when I first saw this cover, and the nail polish? Gorgeous! Love love love! Then I was wandering through some different blogs and I happened upon this cover…

That makes me feel like everything in the world can be good and right again. Dear Rufus, I adore you.  This is the music I listen to when I need a pick me up :). It might be odd to some, but I’m smitten.

The reason that I haven’t done an IMM post in two weeks. I had a birthday. For said birthday I got gift cards, which are my favorite type of gift, and I went on a book clearance sale buying spree! It was really fun. Then, all those books showed up at my door in three boxes over a week span, and along the way I received prize books and swap books and books, Books, BOOKS!  I suddenly realized….I had no idea where they were going to go! So, after a lot of cleaning, a lot of rearranging, here are my…

A very short while ago, I decided that I was ready to upgrade from my Blogger space here. I’ve had a blog here in Blogger for an extremely long time, even before I decided to book blog. In all that time I’ve always been missing something. No matter what I do, I just can’t seem to make this space exactly what I want it to be. Long story short? I’m ready to move it on up. So, I purchased my own domain name and my own web host space and I’ll be moving over to WordPress software at the end…
