Giveaway!! Still not mine though :(

Hey guys! Been a while since I've posted, but I'm just here to tweet about this giveaway of epicness. Over at Victoria Schwab's blog you can enter to win either a signed copy of her story "The Near Witch" (which I hope I win!!), DVD of Hocus Pocus (great movie by the way), ARC of A Touch Morbid by Leah Clifford (pretty cover!), query critique of your first pages (awesome prize for new authors), or CANDY!!! No wonder the giveaway is a "giveaway of witchy epicness". You can enter here.

Now, I know I blog about giveaways, yet I've never had one myself. I promise y'all, I WILL have a giveaway sometime. I've been having some great ideas about what to do, and suggestions are always welcome.

Booking Through Thursday (2)

Booking Through Thursday is a weekly meme hosted HERE. Check it out and join in!

This weeks question is: If you could get a sequel for any boo, what would it be?

My answer to that is: Hades by Alexandra Adornetto.

This is the sequel to her novel, Halo. It came out August 30, but at the time I didn't have any money so I didn't get it. Of course, now I can't find it anywhere. What really makes this all great is the fact that I can't shop online, so... I guess I'll have to wait until the library gets it.

Waiting On Wednesday (3)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine where bloggers can discuss which books they are most anxious to read. Plus, this awesome button was created by Lindsay at The Violet Hour.

I know it’s only Tuesday but I really, really, really want to share this with you guys!

Most of you have probably already read the House of Night series. I’ve re-read those books, like, so many times. I’m excited for the newest book, Destined, to come out on October 25 (I think that will be my WoW next week…), but what I really can’t wait for is the HoN comic book.

I love comic books/graphic novels. They’re really great if you’ve read the actual book first, because then whenever you want to re-read it, all you have to do is get the shortened version from the comic book.

I’m confused though. I saw the preview for volume #1 ( Click here ) and it apparently starts out at the beginning of Betrayed, which is the second book in the series. I don’t know why they don’t start with Marked.

Anyways, this comic comes out November 9, and Volume #2 comes out December 14. They’re both super cheap. As in, less than $5. This makes me happy.

You can pre-order here.

To e-read, Or not to e-read. That is the question.



Guys! I am on the edge right now. Should I get an e-reader? (Or rather, ask for one for Christmas?) I love having the actual book in my hand, but e-readers seem so convenient! I just don't know what to do! Help me decide please!! Comment with why I should(or shouldn't) get one.

Monthly Wrap Up -- September 2011

W.W.W. Wednesdays (5)

To play along just answer the following three (3) questions and leave your link at Should Be Reading:

1. What are you currently reading?

(Again.)

2. What did you recently finish reading?

3. What do you think you'll read next?

What's on *your* reading list for this week?

How I will rate from now on:

I’ve decided on a new way to rate books. For a possible total of 5 stars, each book is rated by:

Originality

Characters

Plot

Setting

Enjoyment

If one of these is missing in a book, a star will be lost.

Example: Let’s say a book was original, had a good plot line, a well-developed setting, and I enjoyed it, yet the characters were underdeveloped, the book would only get a 4-star rating. See where I’m going here?

IMM (3)

In My Mailbox is a meme created by The Story Siren where bloggers can talk about which books they have received over the week.

This week I received: Summer on Fire by Kevin Craig

Goodreads description: Zach Carson is a loyal friend. But is loyalty enough to keep best friends together when one of them sets fire to the rural barn they use as the local hangout? Zach, Jeff Barsell and Arnie Wilson struggle to pick up the pieces when news spreads that a body was discovered in the burnt out shell of the neighbouring home. When the word murder is used by the local police, the stakes grow even higher. When the police start searching for their most likely suspect-none other than Jeff's older brother, and nemesis, Marty Barsell-the boys decide to join forces and come up with a way to prove his innocence. But just how innocent is Marty Barsell? When Marty admits to being at the scene of the crime, the three friends enlist the help of Zach's annoying sister, Sherry, as well as the sympathetic town eccentric, Ms. Halverton. But can they keep it together long enough to save Marty, and themselves, from imminent catastrophe? Summer on Fire is the story of friendships, and the lines we are asked to cross in order to keep them.
