So “Eleanor & Park” and “Fangirl” BOTH made it into the Goodreads Choice Awards final round.
Thank you so much for voting for them!
Would you mind voting one more time?
Here’s the link:

I still can’t believe they didn’t cancel each other out. Part of me feels like I should be encouraging people to vote for one or the other — but that just seems wrong.
Thank you again. And P.S. I won’t be hurt if you vote for one of these other great books!

“Shake It Out” has a special place in my heart
What do u think shadow and bone means
I have actually wondered this as well for quite sometime now. What I think (and this could be completely wrong) is that the shadow portion of the title is a metaphor for The Darkling or a metaphor for her own inner darkness or her own inner shadows within. Then the bone portion can stand for her amplifier, the stag’s antlers (because antlers are made of bone I’m pretty sure). So that is my outlook on the title. Her inner darkness/The Darkling and her amplifier helps to pretty much kick off the rest of the trilogy and we see in all three of the books her struggle with her shadow (The Darkling or her own inner darkness) and bone (her amplifiers).

BLOODY BRILLIANT BOOKS...
BLOODY BRILLIANT BOOKS CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY
It’s been a while since I hosted a giveaway and as I’ve just passed a blog milestone I felt it was time for another thank you to you guys for sticking with me. I really appreciate the support you guys give me with my reviews and writing and I feel really lucky to have you. You guys are always sending me kind words and contributing to my stuff and I’m really noticing now how thank full I am of you guys as I’ve had so much time away from my blog recently. This time around I have selected 10 of my favourite books from 2013 as it’s been such a wild year for me and these books have all given me something special. I will be giving away one paperback copy to the winner of this competition and an ebook copy to a runner up.
I have chosen these books carefully using a mix of a few different genres to hopefully satisfy every reader. I’m hoping that this list can also be used as a recommendation list for those who do not win, as they are all perfect for general reading. I have chosen 10 books and next to them I have linked both the goodreads page and a link to my review for those of you more interested.

Yay! I animated something!
My two inspirations were Shadow and Bone and The Legend of Korra Finale.
I just finished reading Shadow and Bone (and have started to read Siege and Storm). It was so amazing and awesome and full of feels!!!
I really wanted to improve my animation skills (however I did use a reference because I’m not that impressive) and created this little something-somethin’…. It’s meant to be Alina fighting the Darkling’s powers… Enjoy!
Well. This made my day. So awesome

¡Por fin mío! Míomíomíomíomíomíooooooooo. Y solo mío. Estoy tremendamente feliz de que finalmente este en mi poder, en mis estanterías. Y agradecida de que la editorial haya hecho una edición impresionante. Y de que haya mantenido el interior igual que la edición original. Y de que hayan incluido el contenido extra, esa carta preciosísima que nos han editado. Y de incluir el mapa aparte en poster para los más frikis y fans de la saga. En serio, es para babear.
The Spanish edition of Shadow and Bone! Mal’s letter is a separate pull-out and the map is a poster. Fancy!
