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!

In Real Life
MY HUSBAND GRADUATED FROM MEDICAL SCHOOL YESTERDAY! Schwing! I am so wicked proud. He still has a few weeks left of rotation. Then we move to ATL where he starts his Psychiatry residency at Emory! And um, I will do something with myself, job-wise. I’ve been in contact with an LMSW in GA who is giving me some great resources. And I finished my resume.

I am now in Key Largo, enjoying a few days with the family to celebrate my husband’s success. Not a lot of internet action for me until Tuesday.
Oh. My mother is leaving with The Hunger Games trilogy, Divergent, Insurgent and The Immortal Reads. 
She has read a lot of my PNR books already, but she liked the Mortal Instruments, so I’m shoving some more YA her way. Woot!
Favorite Quotes of the Week
Instead I crawled next to him, snuggling close. “Zach, wake up.”
“Can’t. Sleeping.”
I pressed my mouth to his in a full, deep kiss.
“Second thought, not sleeping.”

OMG!!! Right?! No one wants to be my partner… Or victim! DAMNIT!
Uuuum I need a wall-sized POSTER of that YUMMY man.
Congrats to hubby!!!! So happy for you guys!!!
I’m sure you have had people come out of the word work to partner up with you, no? If only we would have met before we started the blogs. It would be EPIC to do this together!
*huggles*
I love the idea behind “Andrew Smith Saturdays”. I LOVED “Stick”. If I can find some time in my schedule I may have to join in.
Here’s my summary
Oh, I certainly hope you can join the read-along. It is going to be wicked fun!
Dang. look at those abs! Wonder how many hours a week he works out. Probably never eats pizza either.
I’m sure he carb loads like crazy sometimes, which is good when you exercise for 5 hours a day. lol
Congrats to the husband! Making it through medical school is a HUGE accomplishment! Enjoy the rest of the time with your family!
Much thanks, Natlie!
Congratulations to hubs! Oh wow, a social worker and a psychiatrist in the same family…yikes.
We need good psychiatrists so I think your hubs’ choice of specialty is excellent, and I’m sure he’ll get amazing training at Emory. I’ve been to Emory several times and that part of Atlanta is beautiful. I’ve swum in the nice, big pool near fraternity row.
Can you believe we both ended up doing careers in mental health? I do think T will be an outstanding psychiatrist. I pretty much think he was born for it, and i hope that over time, he doesn’t change.
I cannot wait to live in ATL.
I just want you to know that I am super excited about your book spine poetry challenge with Stephanie. I can’t wait to get my creativity on.
Also, congrats to your husband! That is awesome! I also wish you the best of luck with moving and everything that entails.
Thanks! ♥
I am super excited about the poetry too. I am itching to see what people will come up with.
Super Rewinders this week! Thank you for all the great info! Congrats on your husband graduating! What a wonderful accomplishment.
Love the Shine comment. I just won all 3 books in that series in a giveaway and I’m so excited to get started! Speaking of, Perks is also on my list to read, so I love your review. Also, As the World Dies is sitting on my shelf, waiting to be read and loved by me!
Thanks! I think my Rewinders can get pretty long, but as long as some finds it useful/entertaining.
I am SO excited for you to read all of those books! Squee!
Yay for your husband that is a huge accomplishment! I hope packing is going well and that you are able to get a new job in Atlanta!
Lol I’m also helping Ash pick someone for her partner in crime. Kinda wish I had the time to partner with her because it would be so much fun but alas I can’t run two blogs! Darn the whole having to sleep thing!
Have a great week!
Well, since I haven’t started packing just yet…lol
I would LOVE to partner with Ash. So many ppl I would partner with…
