Weekly Wrap Up (86)

-
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.


Hello lovelies! Let's see, what have I been up to? Well, my birthday was on Monday and did I receive a single book? NO! I'm so, so, bummed about that. I was however treated to a lovely steak dinner, and received a pair of awesome grey/pink Converse that I've been eyeing for awhile now. I also splurged on some new tops and skirts for fall which was super fun. I never really splurge on clothing so that was definitely a treat for me. Let's see what else....ooo now that my computer is back up and running I'm slowly getting back into blogging regularly. I only missed one day posting this week, go me. It's hard after having those what was it? Two weeks or something of downtime, bleck. Lastly, I'm so proud to say that my son has become a total Harry Potter convert. Now if only my daughter would pick it up but she's on a Warriors kick right now. I guess I shouldn't complain though since she's reading, willingly. Anywho this was longer than intended, sorry about that. Have a great week everyone!

    I feel like I knew your birthday was on the 1st... because my birthday is the 4th and I feel like that is something we would've talked about considering we share an awesome name and spelling. :P I hope you had a good birthday.

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
