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

Cover of Permanent Record by Mary H.K. Choi (goodreads)

The synopsis of this makes it sound like the main character has a lot in common with Britney Spears. She was a Disney Mouseketeer, a famous pop star at a young age, and a world wide sensation before she's twenty. It also sounds like an interesting love story that deals with fame and social media.

The cover reveal has only increased my desire to read this book. It's stunning.

The design fits the author's previous book which I am sure will please fans. I just love how simple it is while still being increadibly eye catching.

MOVIES/TV

Trailer for Yesterday

What would you do if you woke up one day and were the only person who remembered the Beatles? That is the question that the movie Yesterday asks. The first trailer released and it looks like it is going to be funny, sweet, and filled with some great music.

Himesh Patel seems to have the perfect amount of bashfulness mixed with charisma (based on the trailer) to pull off this type of role. This trailer makes the movie look like it'll be a ton of fun and I cannot wait to go see it this summer.

Yesterday Movie Poster

Along with the amazing trailer the official movie poster was released as well. It's perfect and matches the tone of the movie perfectly. It also includes an iconic reference to the Beatles. 

This movie just looks like a lot of fun and the poster (and trailer) telegraph that really well. 

Trailer for The Sun Is Also A Star

I have not read the novel that this movie is adapted from but the trailer charmed me so I've bumped it up my reading list.

The use of the song Crimson and Clover in the trailer is perfection and the two leads have amazing chemistry. 

Super cute, right? I love everything about this trailer and cannot wait to buy my ticket to go see the movie!

What are you obsessed with this week? Let me know in the comments.

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 lots of fun things arrive into my mailbox this week!

First up is a new addition to my Funko Pop collection. It is Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's.

She's adorable and I love the detail they put into her hair.

A huge thank you to Penguin Random House Canada and Hachette Canada for the next batch of arrivals.

Born A Crime by Trevor Noah (Goodreads)

The Sun Is Also A Star by Nicola Yoon (Goodreads)

The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer (Goodreads)

I am very excited to read all three of these for different reasons. Hoping to review them early in the new year.

Lastly, Simon and Schuster Canada made my week by having this next book arrive in my mailbox.

When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon (Goodreads)

Thank to you them for the chance to read and review this. So excited to start it as I have a feeling it is going to be the rom-com young adult novel I am craving.

Happy Weekend and Happy Reading!
