Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is where Tara @ 25 Hour Books and Amanda @ On a Book Bender shamelessly plug each other, share the fantastic posts, giveaways, or whatever else we’ve found and loved by other awesome bloggers (or authors!) during the week, and talk about the books we plan on reading in the coming week. [Description and banner borrowed from On a Book Bender]
The Corner Newsstand
(This week on Creativity’s Corner)
- Monday I talked about the Super Bowl Ads. Kinda disappointing this year, unfortunately.
- Tuesday I reviewed The Last Dragonslayer – the first in a new YA series by one of my favorite authors!
- Wednesday I wanted to throw a Night Circus themed party! At midnight! (Like I’ll ever stay up that late lol)
- Thursday I reviewed A Discovery of Witches.
- Friday I responded to a lot of community chatter that’s been going around, both positive and negative.
Behind the Desk
(My life behind the scenes)
I am so frickin’ sick of winter guys. I hate the fact that it LOOKS LIKE Spring when you look at the sky out my window but it is FREEZING and there’s still snow on the ground. Also I’ve been having crazy random dreams about people pointing guns at me for various reasons. So yeah, life’s going great! *sarcasm*
Just a heads up – I’ll be out of town the 15th-18th. I plan on having posts scheduled as usual, but I may be a little slow replying to comments.
And just in case you didn’t know Kristilyn (Reading in Winter) is a lifesaver!
Around the Corner
(Blog posts I found awesome since the last post)
I didn’t see as many this week! Either I missed some or I’m not the only one getting cabin fever.
- I don’t know how I missed featuring this one a week ago, but Kristilyn (Reading in Winter) asked us HOW we read (e.g. Mood reader, genre reader etc.)
- Felicia (Geeky Blogger’s Book Blog) talked about recommending books to others.
- Jamie (Perpetual Page Turner) had 2 good ones this week: she asked us to tell her how we learned to love reading, and she admitted to a fear of reading sequels.
GoodReaders’ Digest
(Books I’ve read in the past week and books I plan to read next. Also includes stats for the Unbreaking the Shelves Challenge)
Read:
- Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor
Currently Reading:
- The Dark Unwinding by Sharon Cameron
Challenge Updates:
Bingo Squares crossed off this week:
- I2 (2 books that are part of a series):
- Iron Legends by Julie Kagawa
- Days of Blood and Starlight by Laini Taylor – Review: 2/21
Seriously Series books read:
*sigh* None. Again. But I didn’t read that much this week? I know excuses, excuses.
Days of Blood and Starlight doesn’t count toward a Seriously Series read? It should!
I guess that depends. Do we count ALL books in series’? Or do we only count the ones we declared at the beginning? Cause I have a huge long list of ones I *wanted* to read and that series wasn’t on it. If I get to count ones that AREN’T on the list then I have waaaaaaaay more than I thought I did!
You count whatever the heck you want to count. It’s flexible.
Oh. Well okay then! *runs off to make a separate category on my results page*
I hate looking outside of my bedroom window to sunshine and no snow on the branches, only to come downstairs and open the door to lots of snow on the ground and LOTS of cold. Brrr. I’m ready for spring! And summer!
And, like I said, I’m happy to help!
