Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is the weekly recap feature created by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Tara @ 25 Hour Books, where they shamelessly plug each other, share the fantastic posts, giveaways, or whatever else they’ve found and loved by other awesome bloggers (or authors!) during the week, and talk about the books they plan on reading in the coming week. Other people have been joining the party, and now I’ve got my dancing shoes on, too!

Holy hotcakes! I cannot express in words how much this book…THIS BOOK…is beyond epic. A favorite YA read, for sure! I need to get to reading the Iron Fey series!

I am obsessed with owls! I think I saw the framed owl picture on Etsy at some point? Love the dress! And good luck with the resignation. Leaving is always hard.
Owls = Win! And yes, leaving is difficult, but I need it.
Good luck with the end of your job.
Also, soon it will be time for a joint review of Stolen!
@Amanda. Are you finally reading Armstrong’s Women of the Otherworld? If so, awesome. Best Naked Werewolves around.
Actually, it’s not the Otherworld series, but the book by Lucy Christopher. I’ve read the first few of Armstrong’s series and it is really good!
You are a book blogging collator of awesomeness as usual.
Thank you. Do you actually visit the links that interest you? Just wondering.
OMG Smash!! I LOVE your weekly wrap up post!! And the Search Terms are EPIC!!! What a fun thing to add!!
So are you moving? Is that why you quit your job and are gonna miss Isa so much? I wish you the best chick! ♥
You were able to reply! Woot! And yay for Search terms! That was started by Amanda from On a Book Bender. It’s wicked fun and insightful.
Yes, I am moving to Hotlanta in June. Hubs is graduating from med school in May and his psychiatry residency is at Emory in ATL.
If you’re moving to Atlanta, you have to read the Kate Daniels books. That’s where they take place. Well, it’s an alternate Atlanta, but still…
I’m glad you loved The Immortal Rules because I have high hopes for it…and I’m really, really counting on not being disappointed.
I have the books just need to freaking read them already.
I hope you love The Immortal Rules! I was pretty impressed.
I lurved The Immortal Rules something fierce!
You and Isa are so cute! *huggles you both*
Something fierce! Woot!
*huggles you back*
OMG ~ how do you come up with your search terms?? Did YOU go looking for these
You have the most hilarious posts!! And thanks for sharing pics! You guys are too cute! (psst. and your “big boned” cat on Instagram is quite adorable, too!! I just started following you when I remembered I had the app and I was checking out everyone’s RT pics).
I’m so glad I won Immortal Rules and it’ll be on it’s way to my house!! I’ll pick it up as soon as it gets home!
Have a great last 2 weeks, take lots of pics, especially around Miami so you don’t forget (I always tried to do that everytime I moved) and good luck on the move!!!
LOL! No, I use StatCounter, which collects keywords searches that lead to your site. Some of them baffle me.
I won’t be moving until June. but I am ready for this job to be over. Then it is time to look for housing and a new job in ATL, and deal with all the shit that goes with that. *le sigh*
THANK YOU, and ENJOY The Immortal Rules!!
I adore that picture of us!! We are fabulous and I am really going to miss you…like whoa! Thanks to you and T for making it out that night. I had a GREAT birthday
