Book of the Week-Winger

15 Comments

Hey guys! How is everyone doing today? I hope you are all doing awesome.

I know that I am doing particularly fantastic this week. Last week was kind of a downer week but this week has been such a dramatic improvement that I want to run around,singing at the top of my lung,under a rainbow that rains ice cream. I mean, seriously, that’s how I feel right now.

In the last couple weeks, I’ve been really able to put in a lot of effort and work into my blog, and into my new blog (I started an official fansite for Leigh Bardugo‘s Grisha trilogy called The Grisha Army) and I am really excited about it.

But the BEST part about finally having all this time that I didn’t have before is that I’m finally starting to catch on my GoodReads goal. I set a goal of 200 books this year. Which is MORE than doable, but I’ve been busy with school, and life, and the boyfriend, and running this blog! So I haven’t been reading as much; I haven’t had the time to.

But I’m finally catching up! Instead of being 11 books behind, I am now 6 books behind, which is good :) I feel a lot better now. Now I am ready to talk about book #82 for this week’s Book of the Week.

Cinda Williams Chima: An Author You Should Be Reading!

14 Comments

I am surrounded by book lovers. Seriously. Most of my friends, my acquaintances, and you, my followers, are book lovers. It makes me incredibly happy to be around so many people who love books because its just awesome. I am able to talk about them all day long, and I have people available whenever to recommend me books :) Fantastic.

But in all this time, all these people that I’ve met, all these book lovers in my life, and I have not met anyone who has read the Seven Realms series by Cinda Williams Chima (or her Heir Chronicles as well).

Book of the Week Part Two-Seige and Storm

1 Comment

Oh you read that right, I’m doing TWO Book of the Week reviews in ONE week.

I know, crazy, right? Its totally outside the box, breaking the rules. I’m such a rebel, you can’t handle how off the charts awesome I am right now.

So basically the plan had been to do the Book of the Week post on Siege and Storm and then do an episode of Sara’s Quick Picks on The Moon and More, and a couple other books I had read. However, I did not finish Siege and Storm in time for the Book of the Week, which is always (mostly) posted on Thursdays, therefore I did a review on The  Moon and More.

Well I stayed up til 2 am to finish Siege and Storm tonight (yeah, its nearly 4 am while I’m writing this. Yay, insomnia!) and it was absolutely positively brilliant and I’m still kind of recovering from it and I decided I would write a review for it while it was fresh in my mind.

First Still of Theo James as Four!

Leave a comment

I just want to let it be known that I loathe waking up early. Like, anytime before 11 am is painful for me.

So when they announced that the first still of Theo James as Four in the film adaptation of Veronica Roth‘s Divergent was going to be released as noon eastern time, which is 9 am pacific time…I was not stoked.

But I woke up about fifteen minutes ago so I wouldn’t miss out on this.

And let me tell you:

I was NOT disappointed.

Book of the Week-The Moon and More

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! Welcome to the Book of the Week :)

So, I had planned on doing the Book of the Week post on Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo, and then do the third episode of Sara’s Quick Picks on The Moon and More but I finished The Moon and More and I’ve barely started Siege and Storm soooooo there goes that idea.

But I’ll have a review for Siege and Storm VERY soon, I promise!

For now, let’s talk about one of my absolute favorite authors in the world, Sarah Dessen and her brand new book, which I finished in about a day.

Enjoy this week’s Book of the Week!

Veronica Roth’s Allegiant Tour Announced…Sort Of…

Leave a comment

Hey guys! Happy Wednesday!

So today it was announced that Veronica Roth is DEFINITELY going on a US tour for the release of the third and final book in the Divergent trilogy, seek Allegiant!

Yay!

Except, you know, the US is HUGE so she could really go anywhere, and not necessarily come anywhere near where you are.

So here’s a brilliant idea they had! They are having all the fans vote for the state that you would like Veronica Roth to visit while on tour!

Currently, as I’m writing this, Texas is in first, followed closely by California (yay!) and then Illinois and Ohio right after.

You only get ONE vote (which kind of sucks, because I just wanna keep voting for California), and when you vote, you get entered to win a trip to see her on tour :)

So get out there and vote!

Here is the link!

VOTE FOR YOUR STATE!

And I’m appealing to all my international WhatANerdGirlSays fans :) Click above and vote for California! Because you know if she comes here, and I get to meet her, I’m going to have a WICKED contest for it!

And you all know you want that!

Happy Voting!
