What's Happening & Stacking the Shelves April 27th

Hi guys! I hope you've all had a great week full of awesomely bookish things. Here's what's been happening around here this week:

Quicksilver by RJ Anderson {GoodReads}

The Forgotten Ones by Laura Howard {GoodReads}

 

Game. Set. Match. by Jennifer Iacopelli {GoodReads}

• I reviewed Someday, Someday, Maybe by Lauren Graham and gave it 4 stars

• I reviewed Ultraviolet by RJ Anderson and gave it 4 stars

• I'm participating in the Showers of Books Giveaway Hop and giving away a copy of Blue Sky Days and/or Waiting for the Storm. Don't forget I also have a big Waiting for the Storm swag giveaway going on!

• I reviewed The Winter Sea by Susannah Kearsley and gave it 4.5 stars

• I reviewed Quicksilver by RJ Anderson and gave it 3.5 stars

Not much to report here. It's been another quiet week. Every day I've promised myself I'll get started on my next writing project, but instead I get caught up in blog stuff. Next week I go to a heart clinic to have an electrocardiogram, echocardiogram, and get hooked up for a 48-hour heart monitor to determine why I've been having flutters in my chest. Not really looking forward to that, but I'll be glad to get it over with!

I've been watching a lot of Doctor Who lately. For those of you who don't know, I'm a newbie to the show - it seemed like half the people I know watch it, so I decided to see what it was all about. I zoomed through series one and now I'm halfway through series two. I'm so hooked! Speaking of TV...Molli and I have decided to have a Gilmore Girls rewatch marathon in June. It's one of our mutual favourite TV shows and neither of us has watched it in awhile, so we thought it was time, and that it would be a lot of fun to watch it together and discuss it. Any other Gilmore Girls fans want to join us? Tweet us and let us know! @SweetMarie83 and @courageousgrace

Around the Blogosphere:

• Molli wrote a letter to her 14-year-old self, talking about how reading saved her during a really difficult time in her life.

• White Lines by Jennifer Banash is one of my favourite books of 2013 so far. Jennifer talked about her life as a club kid and shares the playlist for the book on Forever Young Adult. This post made me want to go reread the book!

• Jamie introduced a new feature called Beyond the Pages and opened up about what she wants to do with her one wild and precious life.

• Kristilyn talks about what it takes to be a book blogger and why it’s not as easy as it looks. Blogging is hard work, you guys!

• And finally…this has absolutely nothing to do with books but I thought I’d share it because who doesn’t need a laugh by the end of the week? If you have kids/nieces/nephews or simply just like kids, this is good for a giggle: 26 Reasons Kids Are Pretty Much Just Tiny Drunk Adults
