Weekly Wrap Up (85)

-
Welcome to my Weekly Wrap Up!! Each week I share My Weekly Wrap Up of everything Book related (reviews,books purchased,won etc..). Each picture is linked for your convenience. All you need do is click on the cover and it will take you to the appropriate page! I'll also be linking my post up to Stacking The Shelves & The Sunday Post.


Hey all, it's Labor Day Weekend in the United States and if you don't know what that is it basically breaks down to the last hurrah of Summer, although, technically, it is supposed to be about celebrating the creation of the labor movement and its dedication to the social and economic achievements of American workers. Also tomorrow is my Birthday woot woot so things have been a bit busy around here. I'm not going to do a traditional format wrap up this week but if you stopped by this week you might have seen my Mini Review of Feral by Holly Schindler. I'm sad to say that was a disappointing read. I also shared my thoughts on the one book that I will gladly never read again as part of this weeks Booking Through Thursday where we were asked the question: What books do you Hate?

On the bookish side of things I received a copy of The Last Policeman by Ben H. Winters in the mail from Quercus Books, I also received a copy of Z-Plan: Blood on the Sand from Mikhail Lerma .  I guess that is about it this week. My computer is fixed so I should hopefully be back to regular blogging *yippee*. Hope you all enjoy the rest of the weekend!!!

Stine Genre: Horror, Young Adult Series: Fear Street Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin Publication: September 30, 2014 Her friends warn her not to go to Brendan Fear's birthday party at his family's estate on mysterious Fear Island. But Rachel Martin has a crush on Brendan and is excited to be invited. Brendan has a lot of party games planned. But one game no one planned intrudes on his party—the game of murder. As the guests start dying one by one, Rachel realizes to her horror that she and the other teenagers are trapped on the tiny island with someone who may want to kill them all. How to escape this deadly game? Rachel doesn't know whom she can trust. She should have realized that nothing is as it seems… on Fear Island. R.L. Stine makes his triumphant return to Shadyside, a town of nightmares, shadows, and genuine terror, and to the bestselling series that began his career writing horror for the juvenile market, in the new Fear Street book Party

Welcome to my stop on the Books To Movies Giveaway Hop hosted by Mary from Bookhounds & I Am A Reader, Not A Writer If you didn't know by now I'm a huge fan of Books turned movies. I read as if I'm watching a movie as it is and so whenever I see a book turned into a film I get super excited. While I have many favorites I've decided to limit my choices to my Top 5. Trust me I can talk about Book to Movie adaptations all day if you'll let me :)  From this list you can choose either the book or film as your prize! In no particular order here are my favorite books turned into films! .The Lord Of The Rings is a series that can only be described as epic. I love the books and suggest everyone read the series at least once. When Peter Jackson turned the trilogy into a film and I heard of some of the changes I was skeptical. Fortunately as soon as I saw the first film all doubts were erased from my mind. I just can't get enough and have rewatched t

Giveaway: Vamps vs. Zombies Blog Hop!!

Welcome to my stop on the Vamps vs. Zombies Blog Hop hosted by April @ My Shelf Confessions . Up for Grabs is a $5 Amazon Giftcard and a Vampire or Zombie book of choice (up to $10).  Since I'm #TeamZombie all the way I figured it'd be fun to list my reasons for why Zombies are clearly superior to Vampires. Zombies Vampires Early Warning System. If you hear a moan you have time to run away before they eat you.                                       Climb through the window while you're sleeping to suck blood. That's just rude! Helpful in decreasing the surplus population. Sure their numbers might increase but it's the thought that counts. Due to "secrecy" Vampires try very hard to not increase numbers. They'd rather suck and move on. More fun to kill!  From traditional weapons to household supplies the possibilities for proper Zombie slayage are endless. Holy water, sunlight or stakes= yawn.   Zombies are equal opportunity hu
