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
Nothing much to update. I’ve started packing. We booked a trip to Atlanta on Memorial Day weekend (May 25 is our ANNIVERSARY!) and I’m praying we find something then. Our realtor has been sending us a lot of places to view. We are definitely running out of time here! Our fridge is dying in our current place, too. Booo!

Joe is in Magic Mike?!?!? My mind is now blank of everything else you wrote… I’m sure you had a great post this week
LOL. It makes me laugh about how many ppl do NOT know he is in this movie! JOE M IS IN MAGIC MIKE! We must scream it from the roof tops!
I didn’t know this at first either. I was too busy staring at Channing. LOL
Don’t you love the Goodreads Stats section? There are so many different ways people can present their info. I love it!

You did a fantastic job on collecting posts from the blogosphere. BoB sucked up all my time and I limped in with a few.

Happy early Anniversary
I’m glad you were able to find time to read! Good luck finding a house. I hope it goes well!
Thank you! I’m nervous as hell…
Five books? Good for you! My reading has been virtually non-existent (except for audiobooks) lately because of school, but now that I’m officially out for the summer, hopefully I’ll be able to get some books in!
Also…love that Entertainment Weekly cover.
Well, you GRADUATED and all, so that’s something.
Loving that Entertainment Weekly Cover! Thanks for sharing, I hadn’t seen it yet!
You should check out the photos inside!
Also, the outtakes, which can be found on EW’s website. Woot!
Yay on reading 5 books!! My reading’s been a bit slow lately. Gotta fix that.
I hope you find a place to live soon. Must be exciting, moving to a new place
Happy Anniversary!!
