Monday Must Reads: THE DEVIL DRINKS COFFEE!

Not familiar with this little feature? It's simple, really. Monday Must Reads! is a feature I created to showcase books that I think you, well, Must Read (ha!).

I haven't read this week's selection yet, but I've read others by this author (under her other name) so I know that when I do, I'll be in for a treat! If you haven't already, you simply Must Read...

This week: 


TOP TEN BOOKS
I'D RECOMMEND TO
MY FRIENDS



1. The Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer -- I know this series gets a bad wrap from a lot of people, but, writing ability aside, Ms. Meyer can tell a story. And that's why I'd recommend it.








2. The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins -- This one is truly one of my faves in...

Monday Must Reads:

Not familiar with this little feature? It's simple, really. Monday Must Reads! is a feature I created to showcase books that I think you, well, Must Read (ha!).

This week's selection is a good one, and one I can't believe has taken me so long to read. I'm sure most of you already have, but for those of you who've put it off like me, you simply Must Read...

The Replacement

Mackie Doyle is not one of us. Though he lives in the small town of Gentry, he comes from a world of...

HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE Trailer!

I didn't have any posts scheduled for today, so I thought I'd share the trailer for THE HUNGER GAMES: CATCHING FIRE, which hits theaters in a week! Yay!!

Waiting on Wednesday: ETERNAL ECHOES by Angela Corbett!

The lovely Jill (a fellow Alabamian!) over at Breaking the Spine created the Waiting on Wednesday meme for us bloggers to showcase books we're waiting on. 

The first book in this series was great, so I know the second installment will be, too. My WoW this week is...

Top Ten Tuesday: Cover Redesigns!

I'm super excited to join in the Top Ten Tuesday weekly feature meme created by the fabulous  The Broke and the Bookish ! It looks to be a fun time on Tuesdays now!

This week: 

TOP TEN COVERS
I WISH I COULD REDESIGN

1. PANDEMONIUM by Lauren Oliver -- This cover is beautiful, don't get me wrong, but it's missing the uniqueness of the DELIRIUM cover that I just loved. This one just doesn't seem to fit IMO, though I do actually like it. Weird, huh? 







2. BEFORE I FALL by Lauren Oliver -- I...

It's been a while...so here's a review!

Yes, it has. Been a while since I've blogged, I mean. That gnarly little thing we call life gets in the way of all our fun sometimes, and things have to be put off and put off until we can come back around to them. My blog, unfortunately, has been one of those things. But fret no more, for I intend to get things moving again. And I'm gonna start with a review of a book coming December 3rd from a superbly talented author that you need to get to know if you haven't already.
