Weekly Obsessions


The awesome Kelly at KellyVision started posting a weekly post highlighting whatever she happened to be obsessed with that week. I LOVE this idea, so much in fact that I will be doing it myself every Saturday.

Here are my obsessions this week:

BOOK

City of Heavenly Fire cover reveal


It's Clary and Sebastian on the front. I am most excited to see the inside flap that is supposed to have some other characters featured (but not Magnus, apparently. Which, I just don't understand). I feel pretty neutral about the cover, but am looking forward to reading this. I am slightly scared about who is going to die, because Cassandra Clare is pretty brutal with her characters. (Goodreads)

Cover of Dark Metropolis 


Something about this synopsis caught my attention, and it sounds like it has a lot of potential. I love the 1920's feel of the cover mixed with the creepy vibe. Can't wait to get my hands on this one.

Cover of Blood of My Blood 


Simple. Creepy.  This series has some of the best covers because they compliment the story really well. I am sure this one will be no exception (Hello, Crow King) and it'll be bittersweet to say goodbye to Jazz and Howie. I want to know how it ends, but could also read about these characters forever.

MOVIE/TV

Breaking Bad

I finished the series on Thursday night this week, and am still processing. I don't know whether to blame or thank Kelly (from KellyVision) for the state my heart was in at the end.*curls up into fetal position thinking about the last few episodes*  I spent the last 3 or 4 episodes in a state of intense anxiety but was ultimately satisfied with how the series ended. A few loose ends that I wish would have been tied up (mainly because it involves a character that I love) but it was otherwise a fantastic finale. Jesse Pinkman and Walter White are two characters that I won't soon forget. If you haven't checked out this show, do it. You're missing out on one of the best shows in recent television.

Flowers In The Attic

Pretty sure that my teenaged self, and a majority of my friends, read this book in highschool. It was almost like a right of passage for a lot of teen girls. I am not sure if this book is still being sneakily taken from bookshelves, but I predict a resurgence with this remake being shown on TV. I am incredibly excited to watch this TONIGHT since I won't be able to watch the Screen Actors Guild Awards. I am expecting trashy, over the top drama that is incredibly fun. I already have wine at the ready.

OTHER

Book Expo America

I have my pass. It's officially 2014. I want it to be BEA time! I always start to get excited/antsy around February when things start to be revealed. I can't wait to see what authors will be signing, and what titles will be getting some extra promotion during the event. I am most looking forward to sharing an apartment with some of my favourite bookish ladies! NYC with these ladies is going to AMAZING!

So what are you obsessed with this week?

I love comments. Thank you for stopping by my blog and thank you even more for leaving me a comment.

I have decided to make this an awards free blog. I appreciate the gesture, and love that you thought of my blog, however I simply can't pass them along as required.
