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.

BOOK

Covers for Queen Song (goodreads) and Steel Scars (goodreads) by Victoria Aveyard

These stunning covers are for two novellas that will expand on side characters within the series. I am really excited as both of these characters intrigued me and are some that I am eager to learn more about. Both of these come out before Glass Sword (Queen Song releases September 1st, and Steel Scars follows on January 6th) so they'll be a much needed fix of this amazing world until it's release.

TV/MOVIE

Paper Towns movie

This movie was incredibly fun and was hilarious. Way more funny than I anticipated. There is also an A+++ cameo in it that will delight a lot of fans.  I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would and if you're  fan of the book I'd bet you'll enjoy this adaptation.

OTHER

#OTSPSecretSister

This will be my first time taking part and I am so excited to do so. It sounds like such a fun way to get involved with the community and I cannot wait to see who I get paired with. I've already gone out and got some cute stationary to write letters on.

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).

I had a ridiculously busy mailbox this week. Lots to show you....

First up, the Ottawa Blogger Meet Up happened last Sunday and we had amazing gift bags.

Since my birthday was this week, I also got a birthday gift from Christy (The Reader Bee)

I had been talking about reading Paper Towns to her a day or two before receiving  this package. I've heard nothing but amazing things about Fangirl too!

Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell (goodreads)
Paper Towns by John Green (goodreads)

I purchased Second Chance Summer because all of the Ottawa Bloggettes who have read it are huge fans. I can't wait to read this one during the summer. The other is for review from Harlequin Teen (Thank you to Lisa!). I love fairytale retellings so this one is perfect for me.
