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:
BOOKS
Michelle Hodkin announces third Mara Dyer novel
My love of Mara Dyer (and Noah Shaw) is well known if you have read my blog. I was hoping that there would be a third Mara Dyer novel to make the series a trilogy. Well, this week Michelle announced that the third book is officially happening and it even has a title - The Retribution of Mara Dyer.
TV
Dracula update starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers
I got really excited when I heard this was in the works. VERY excited. Right up until I heard the network that it is going to be on - NBC. I don't have anything against NBC. They even have some shows I do like. My issues is that network television will tame this down. It needs to be on HBO or something similar. When I think vampires I think sexy and when that vampire happens to be as good looking as Johnny well.....I am afraid the network might not allow as much sexiness as I would like.
Jonathan is a fantastic actor and so charming in person (yes, I've met him) and I think this casting is PERFECT. I am a little apprehensive about the synopsis though (as well as the network) so I remain hesitantly optimistic about this 10 episode mini series. I believe it will be a fall 2013 addition to the network.
OTHER

Ontario Blogger Meet Up
A lovely group of Toronto blogger started this Ontario wide meet up that is going to take place in Nov this year. It is the second annual meet up and I am so excited to be going this year. I have already obtained my ticket for the event and the Ottawa bloggers are making plans to make a road trip out of it.
So what you are obsessed with this week?
A THIRD MARA DYER NOVEL. EEEEEEEEEEE!!! THE RETRIBUTION OF MARA DYER. MY SQUEE CANNOT BE CONTAINED *ridiculously excited* Now we just need The Evolution in our desperate, desperate hands *sigh*
ReplyDeleteI've never actually read Dracula and while I'm aware of Jonathan, I can't recall seeing him in anything... but I am STILL excited! And ridiculously jealous that you've met him, because hi, he's gorgeous :D
And I hope you have a fabulous time at your meet up!!
