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

Marie Antoinette: Serial Killer by Katie Alender

I know NOTHING about this book or what it's about, but I want to. I am quite excited to find out more as I am already intrigued. It's a Fall 2013 release from Scholastic so I will be on the look out for more information in the new year. If you are curious, you can add it to Goodreads already.

MOVIE

The City of Bones teaser trailer



Words can not describe how much I LOVE everything about this trailer. Robert Sheehan is going to be fantastic as Simon. I am already looking forward to having my heart broken by him when certain events happen in books two and three (no spoilers!). The line at the end "Welcome to the City of Bones".... SHIVERS. Everything about it gives me chills. The book fangirl in me is reacting to a series I love being turned into a movie, and the way Jamie Campbell Bower says that line... ARGH! It's perfect.

Everything I see in the this teaser gives me hope that the movie is going to be amazing.

Mortal Instruments movie posters

I am in awe of these posters. They suit the feel of the novel so well. Everything they have been releasing so far has made me quite happy. Can it just be August already? A warning...expect this movie to show up in this post A LOT between now and August.

TV

Once Upon A Time

This should maybe be titled "obsessing about Once Upon A Time with Brodie from Eleusinian Mysteries". Brodie and I get really into this show. REALLY into it. We spent much time last season discussing who August was. This year it's all about Neal Cassady and who he might be. We send epically long emails back and forth and dissect everything. I couldn't ask for a more awesome person to do this with. If you haven't checked out the this show yet, you are missing out! Tons of hotties, and a great storyline.

OTHER

City of Bones Read Along

In the new year I will be putting together a fun read along for anyone who want to read this (or read it again) before the movie comes out in August. I am hoping to have everything up sometime in January. Looking forward to hopefully having a fantastic conversation with the Ottawa Blogettes about the book, too.

Magic Mike trading cards

Apparently in Target stores in the USA the DVD of Magic Mike comes with collector trading cards. My first reaction was to freak out and, of course, immediately want them. Christy from The Reader Bee is trying to hook me up by visiting her local Targets for me. I pretty much adore her!

BOOKS

Glitter and Doom by Bethany Griffin

I stumbled upon this whlie looking at the Harper Collins summer catalog. A e-novella coming between Masque of the Red Death and Dance of the Red Death. Super excited to read it and find out who it's about. Does it feature someone else's point of view other than Araby?

Cover of Josephine Angelini's Goddess

These covers are rather striking, and I think I like this one the most out of all of them. I am curious to find out how Helen's story ends (and if she ends up with Orion).

Cover for Belladonna by Fiona Paul

I really enjoyed Venom and can't wait to read the follow up. This cover is just as pretty as the first in the series.

Cover for Towering by Alex Flinn

I didn't know this was even being released. I LOVE fairytale re-tellings and this one about Rapunzel sounds awesome.

TV

Once Upon A Time's Killian Jones (AKA Hook)

Yup...totally smitten. Devilish charm, a stunning accent and the guyliner. It all worked, and I hope he stays forever.

OTHER

Ontario Blogger Meet Up 

This event takes place TODAY! I am beyond excited to meet so many people that I talk to over twitter. It is going to be an amazing afternoon filled with books and book chat. I am also really looking forward to the Cassandra Clare signing right after that we are all heading to. It is going to be a incredible but busy day.

BOOKS

Just One Day by Gayle Forman

My pining for this novel is reaching unreasonable levels. I want to read it right away. Sigh...

The Evolution of Mara Dyer trailer.



OMG SEXY! Noah! Mara!  This trailer PERFECTLY fits the sequel and I can't wait for you all to read it on TUESDAY!

Reboot by Amy Tintera cover

If you haven't read the Goodreads synopsis for this, head there immediately. It sounds awesome and I like the simplistic look this cover has. Quite excited to read this one when it's released.

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke cover

Eerie, gothic and really stunning this cover conveys the mood of the novel perfectly. This is high on my "pine for list" for the fall season. I can't wait to get my hands on it. If you haven't checked out the Goodreads synopsis do so immediately and let's pine together.

TV

Once Upon A Time

*Minor spoilers in the video*

Captain Hook debuts THIS Sunday. All I ask is that we can keep him.



Swoon! In case you missed his name (too busy drooling) it's Cillian Jones (or Killian Jones). I am a little afraid that they are going to make Rumpelstiltskin the person who cuts off his hand. That will just make me not happy. I want them to introduce Peter, and Tink and Wendy. That said, I am hooked by this dangerously sexy swashbuckler already. Can someone please write a YA novel involving sexy pirates now?!

American Horror Story : Asylum 

The first episode was creepy, and such an homage to the classic insane asylum stories we are used to. Amazing performance by Evan Peters who was SO different from his season one character. The scene where we meet him? Dancing around and singing to old 50's/60's music? And when he goes home to his wife? Yup...swoon. The accents some of the cast uses are impressive too. Looking forward to the second episode.

Mara Dyer Week

It's here! Mara Week starts this Monday! There will be guest posts, review, giveaways and a bunch of other really awesome stuff happening. I can't wait to share my excitement about this series with you. I am already plotting and scheming for the (most likely) final Mara Week next year when The Retribution of Mara Dyer comes out and I am already excited. Be sure to stop by all week long next week!

Vacation Week and Ontario Blogger Meet Up

I am on vacation from work starting the 29th! I am getting so anxious for a break I can't wait. The end of that week myself, and some other Ottawa bloggers (the awesome Meghan, Emilie, Ciara, and Katie) are heading to Toronto for the annual Ontario Blogger Meet Up! I can't wait to meet everyone.

So what you are obsessed with this week?
