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.

A small Weekly Obsessions post again this week. Not to much new to report.

TV/MOVIES

Widows Trailer

Widows is one of the movies I have my eye on this Oscar season. The second trailer was recently released. I love that Gillian Flynn wrote this screenplay and I think you can kind of tell.

The cast looks great. Still very into whatever Daniel Kaluuya is doing in this movie. It's sure to be one that does well at the box office and we'll see how it does come awards season.

Happy Hello bookmarks for The Hating Game (link)

My favourite Etsy bookmark shop has made adorable bookmarks for The Hating Game by Sally Thorne. They're perfect and I love them so much!

I highly recommend this shop. It's popped up a few times on this site but the bookmarks are cute, the service is great, and she even offers custom bookmarks.

New To My Book Closet

It's that time of the week again. Time to show you what bookish goodies made their way into my home and book closet (to be saved from the evil book eating cat monster named Aria). This is inspired by the various "mailbox" posts out there (eg. In My Mailbox by The Story Siren, and Stacking the Shelves by Tynga's Reviews)

I had a lot of fun arrivals into my mailbox this week. First up, I manged to get the Billy and Mrs Wheeler (Karen) Pop 2 pack that was a San Diego Comic Con exclusive. I love them!

The cookie! Her nightgown! The hair on Mrs Wheeler! They're adorable. Looking forward to seeing what season three is going to bring for both these characters.

My Happy Hello! bookmark addiction continues. I saw this adorable Peter Parker one and had to snag it. I love it so much! I am going to have to find a way to display these in my house.

SO cute right? I love her shop. Be sure to visit and snag some for yourself.

Lastly are some books I purchased recently. Idecided to grab some of these during Chapters free shipping offer. I wanted Any Man for the signing I was going to (and because it sounds amazing) and I could not pass up getting Carry On after finishing up Fangirl.

Carry On by Rainbow Rowell (goodreads)

I had a lot of amazing arrivals this week! First up are two bookmarks that I love from HappyHello (Etsy shop link). They are adorable and I am happy to add them to my collection.

They are obviously Elio and Oliver from Call Me By Your Name. I've fangirled about this shop before, but you should check it out if you love cute bookmarks. A ton of different fandoms are offered and they make great gifts.

Next up was my Indigo Book Box which featured War Storm by Victoria Aveyard. The box contained a signed copy of the book, a candle, a note from Victoria, and a Scarlet Guard pin.

War Storm by Victoria Aveyard (goodreads)

The pin is so amazing that I had to include a close up of it! It's a perfect addition to my pin collection and a wonderful bit of swag to celebrate the end of the series with.

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.

A few fun things to share this week! I am also excited about spring finally being here. It's been nice to go out with a sweater instead of a winter jacket and the sunshine has been really nice!

BOOKS

American Royals by Katharine McGee (goodreads)

I was immediately intrigued by this book just from the deal announcement. It sounds like a perfect fit for anyone who is obsessed with royalty and the idea of 'what if'.

The deal announcement describes it as

A reimagining of modern-day America as a monarchy, the book tells the tale of the American royal family: the most famous family in the world, who play out their dramas on the greatest stage of all.

I look forward to hearing more about this as the fall 2019 release date gets closer.

HappyHello Bookmarks (link)

I have raved about the bookmarks from this Etsy shop a bunch of times. I was so excited when I saw that some new ones had been added and immediately purchased the Call Me By Your Name set!

How cute are these?! They are perfect. I am (im)patiently waiting for my set to arrive in the mail.

Quelque Chose Ice Cream With Macarons (link)

I stumbled across this new ice cream offering in downtown Ottawa. The place is called Quelque Chose and they are mainly a macaron place, but have added these delicious looking ice cream treats to their menu for the summer.

The S'more and Cotton Candy ones are a must try for me, but the rest of them look just as amazing. Check out their website, and if you live in the Ottawa area be sure to check them out this summer.

BOOKS

Cover Of All Of This Is True by Lygia Day Penaflor (goodreads)

Not only does the premise of this one sound AMAZING but the cover is just as incredible. I love that it has almost a true crime feel to it. 

The crossing out of the word true also immediately makes a statement about what this book is. I am in love witht eh vivid red that was use as it's going to be eye catching on shelves. I am even more excited to dive into this one! 

TV/Movie

Zac Efron As Ted Bundy

Zac shared another photo on his Twitter account that offers up a clearer look at his Ted Bundy. The makeup artists on this film are incredible because Zac looks so strikingly similar to Ted Bundy in this photo. It's more than a little eerie.

Copyright belongs to Zac Efron (from his Twitter)

This photo, obviously, caused me and my friends to freak out and completely lose all chill. We're all looking forward to a movie poster and trailer. I am encouraged by the fact that this is going to be focused more on Ted's girlfriend at the time than Ted himself as I think that has the potential to offer up something new to say about this much talked about case.

HappyHello Bookmarks (link)

I am sure I have mentioned these bookmarks before. They are super cute and I have quite the addiction to them. I love that a wide varitety of fandoms are offered so there is something for everyone. She even offers amazing customs so you can request your favourite characters.

I am currently obsessed with the above Steve and Dustin set from Stranger Things. You should check out her Etsy shop and get a few for yourself!

This adorable addition to my mailbox made me very happy. I saw these and had to purchase them immediately. I love Stephanie Perkins' books and her characters.

How cute, right?! I especially love the Anna and Etienne. Something about their love story is still my favourite. Now I want to do a re-read of this series.

I have had some amazing goodies make their way into my mailbox this week!

First up is my Christmas gift from the lovely Christy (The Reader Bee)

My Cousin Rachel by Daphne Du Maurier (goodreads)
The Start Of Me And You by Emery Lord (goodreads)

I love Emery Lord's books and did not have this one in hardcover so I was thrilled to get it. She also sent me one of our Sisterhood of the Travelling Bookclub selection - My Cousin Rachel. We totally selected My Cousin Rachel because Sam Claflin is set to star in the movie adaptation.

I had received the next item quite a bit ago but since I was giving Christy a set for her Christmas gift I had to wait until she had gotten and opened her package. She has, and so I can share these amazing bookmarks!

They are Lou and Will from Me Before You and were made by the talented Nickysea at Magicbookmarks over on Etsy. She was a pleasure to deal with and really quick to complete a custom order. I love that Lou is wearing the bumblebee tights!
