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 few fun things were announced this week.

OTHER


Funko's San Diego Comic Con exclusive Pops

Pretty sure everyone is aware of my Funko addiction. This time of year is especially exciting as the San Diego Comic Con exclusives are announced. Plenty of them are shared with retailers such as EB Games and Hot Topic and will be obtainable for those not attending the convention.

Funko has announced a few waves at this point, and their television wave was the first that had a few Pops I was interested in pick up.

First up, in order to complete my Stranger Things collection ...

Steve! I love that they captured his hair perfectly. haha. If you've seen Stranger Things you'll recognize the scene this Pop is modeled after and I cannot wait to add him to my collection.

Next is probably the Mr Robot Pop I am MOST excited for ... 

It has the iconic mask, and Elliott's trademark black hoodie. This is a must get for my collection.

Funko will continue to announce exclusives for the rest of June (every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday) and  into early July. I am sure there will be others I want as well, especially when the Disney wave is announced.

My Favorite Murder bracelets from ilove2stamp's Etsy Shop (link)

I have be binge listening to the My Favorite Murder podcast. I have mentioned it before as part of my weekly roundup, but I have become so obsessed that I now want merchandise. I discovered this bracelet and I NEED it.

SSDGM (Stay Sexy Don't Get Murdered) is a motto and sign off that the hosts use and is something fans of the podcast have really embraced. This bracelet also has 'f*@k politeness' written on the inside which is another saying fans have embraced. I seriously LOVE this bracelet. It's something I would actually wear as well as it being a great piece of fandom swag.

Anna and the French Kiss inspired tea from The Tea Spot (link)

I discovered this tea at Book Expo and now really want to try some! The people behind Owlcrate were at Book Expo with a wheel full of prizes. One of the prizes on the wheel was this tea. I, sadly, did not win the tea but I did Google it as soon as I left and discovered that it is for sale on The Tea Spot's website. I have heard it is delicious and tastes like chocolate cherry goodness. Hoping to be able to try some in the near future and will report back.

Lots to be excited about this week and I predict lots of people will be excited about this week's inclusions.

BOOK

Cover of Mackenzi Lee's The Gentleman's Guide To Vice and Virtue (goodreads)

This cover will immediately turn you into a swoony mess. Don't say I didn't warn you.

This is Monty and I am already very excited to 'meet' him in this book! I cannot wait to get my hands on this one. Just read the synopsis and prepare to wait in agony with me for this to release.

OTHER

Chocolate Raspberry Truffle Tea

I stumbled across this tea on the Adagio Tea website. It sound entirely delicious and I am going to be ordering myself some immediately. I hope it is as delicious as it sounds because it could easily become my newest obsession.

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).

Lots of awesome made it's way into my mailbox this week! I feel rather spoiled!

First up, my first #otspsecretsister package for this new round.

Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour (goodreads)
Werewolves by Kelley Armstrong (goodreads)

I basically fangirled over the entire package but the tea, you guys! THE TEA! It's a set of Peter Pan inspired teas. It includes the following ...

How pretty are these tins? Seriously, I am in love. I am currently trying them all but have so far tried the Tink blend, and the Neverland inspired one. I am curious about the rest, and will report back on which was my favourite.

Oh and to my #otspsecretsister.... reply is coming soon! Writing it this weekend and will mail on Monday! Thanks again, Tink!

I also received this lovely for review. I am part of the blog tour and my stop is tomorrow! I am settling in to write my review but this is pretty much Outlander meets Romeo and Juliet and it was REALLY FUN!

Into The Dim by Janet B Taylor (goodreads)

Thank you to Raincoast Books for the chance to review and be part of the blog tour. Visit tomorrow to read all my thoughts, and to hear where Janet would like to travel to if she could!

Lastly, one of the books I had pre-ordered came in a little early. This will be on shelves on Tuesday and I've been hyping this one on Twitter with teasers all this week.

Kill The Boy Band by Goldy Moldavsky (goodreads)

How insane is this design? Seriously. It's eye catching and pops. The end papers?! Amazing. It fits the inside of the book perfectly. This is a darkly funny story of what happens when 4 fangirls kidnap their least favourite member of their favourite boy band! Be sure to pick it up!

What bookish items made their way into your mailbox this week?

Happy Weekend and Happy Reading!

Here are my obsessions this week:

BOOKS

Sisterhood of the Traveling Bookclub

If you missed the announcement this week some fellow bloggers and I have started an 'online' bookclub of sorts. I can't wait to get started with our first book which is Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Expect some fun discussions, hopefully some author input and perhaps movie watching.

MOVIE

Gone Girl Movie news

 According to Deadline Ben Affleck is in talks to play Nick in the movie adaptation of Gone Girl. I loved Gone Girl. It's twisty, dark, and intense. The movie is going to depend on the casting. I am withholding judgement until I see who they cast as Amy. Is Ben my first choice? NOT AT ALL. Do I think he'll do any okay job? We'll see. Either way I am excited that casting is happening and that the movie is moving forward.

OTHER

Once Upon A Time Tea

If you've visited the blog before you are aware of my Once Upon A Time obsession. I stumbled across a website that offers Once Upon A Time inspired teas. These teas are inspired by the characters and all of them sound amazing. Henry's hot coco blend sounds especially awesome. The cute tins are making me want to buy ALL THE TEA. I may have to include some of these on my Christmas wishlist.

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!
