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).

Some amazing books made their way into my mailbox this week! 

The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (goodreads)

Me Before You by Jo Moyes (goodreads)

The Kiss of Deception by  Mary E. Pearson (goodreads)

The Young Elites by Marie Lu (goodreads)

I also got the Frozen soundtrack thanks to a Twitter contest, and my Lindor chocolate countdown to Christmas calendar! 

Thanks to Jessica for lending me The Kiss of Deception and The Young Elites.

What books made their way into your mailbox this week?

Happy weekend, and happy reading!

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 smaller obsessions post this week! Here are my obsessions this week:

BOOK

We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

My flailing about this one is because of Jamie at The Broke and the Bookish. She has made me NEED to read this one. Katie at Bookishly Yours brought it to my attention and after reading Jamie's Goodreads review I am obsessed. Have I mentioned that 2014 is going to be the year of awesome books? Because it totally is.

MOVIE/TV

Catching Fire

I was late to the party but I FINALLY got to see Catching Fire. AMAZING, right? I totally adore Finnick. Sam Claflin impressed me. I was nervous about how Finnick would be portrayed, but he did a fantastic job. Jennifer Lawrence is, as always, perfection. Josh Hutcherson is perfect as Peeta. I don't know how you couldn't be a little in love with Peeta after this movie. The message and tone of the book came through perfectly. Some of the marketing of the movie hurts my heart, because it totally goes against the message of the entire series, but the movie showed exactly what made me fall in love with this series. Oh, and I would totally tell Finnick all my secrets.

Reign

Still totally loving this show. It's surprised me, and I am fully hooked. Doesn't hurt that Francis is pretty swoon worthy (most of the time). A strong Queen, a dashing Prince, and some fun twists make this deliciously fun TV! Check it out if you're not already hooked.

OTHER

Lindor Chocolate Calendar

Tomorrow is December 1st! That means I get to start my countdown to Christmas with my yearly chocolate calendar. Every year I get one, and Lindor is my FAVOURITE chocolate so this calendar is basically perfect for me.

So what are you obsessed with this week?

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).

One book for me this week, but some other goodies I wanted to include as well.

The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (goodreads)

Simon and Schuster Canada was lovely to send me a copy of this. I have already read an eARC of this so I will letting a fellow blogger take it off my hands so that it gets reviewed by them.

I have been obsessed with tea recently and have discovered David's Tea. They have awesome flavours and their teas are amazing. I have just fallen in love with Toasted Marshmallow! It's a perfect fall tea. I can't wait to try more flavours.

I love Christmas. It's my favourite holiday. I always get a Christmas countdown chocolate calendar. Now that I am an adult (at least in age) I still get a calendar, but the chocolate is higher quality. I love these countdowns and am pouting over the fact that I can't touch this until December. My defense for buying this now? They sell out by the end of September every year.

I was BEYOND excited to find a copy of The Craft on DVD. I have been looking for this everywhere. Can not wait to watch it.

Happy Sunday and Happy Reading!
