500 Follower Giveaway!

I recently surpassed a goal that, for me, is mind blowing. I hit 500 followers on this blog. When I started it just over a year ago I never expected to have this many followers. It's awesome and I want to thank each and every one of you.

This means it's time for a giveaway! Two prizes are up for grabs. The first one is a mystery ARC. I thought this might be fun. All I will say is it's an ARC that will be releasing in the fall and the cover is quite pretty.

The second prize prize is any book from my Top Ten of 2012 (so far) list.

To enter simply fill out the Rafflecopter form below. The contest is open internationally as long as Book Depository ships to your country.

Thanks again everyone for making this a wonderful, crazy, awesome experience.

My 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:

BOOKS

Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn

I am now obessed with reading this novel. I can't wait to get my hands on it. My library has a waiting list that is approx 200 people long so it might be awhile but it sounds so good!

Books that stay with you

I have recently read two books that really stuck with me. I don't mean life changing reads or anything, just something about them resonated with me.

We Need To Talk About Kevin haunted me long after I finished it. The ending packed a punch I wasn't expecting and it made me think back and examine things that happened previous in the novel. It makes you think about a horrific event from a perspective I never thought much about before.

The Meryl Streep Movie Club made me want to grab a bunch of my friends and start our own movie club. It is on this list for that reason alone.

MOVIES

The Dark Knight Rises poster

I hadn't seen this one until the other day. OMG! The high heel spike on the Batman symbol! I love it. The lipstick and the XX signature is so Catwoman. It mixes the gothic feel of Chris Nolan's world with the sexiness you would expect from the character. I can not wait to see this movie!

OTHER

500 Followers

Excuse me while I freak out. So, yesterday I surpassed a goal I never expected to hit - I have over 500 followers. I am in awe that anyone is following this little blog. A giveaway will be going up next week (most likely Tuesday) as a thank you to everyone that is following me. Thank you for making this a crazy awesome adventure.
