Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge 5/6/12
Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is the weekly recap feature created byAmanda @ On a Book Bender and Tara @ 25 Hour Books, where they shamelessly plug each other, share the fantastic posts, giveaways, books they’ve received 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.
What’s Happening
Other than that, in my real life job, I was promoted to manager (squeeeeee!!!!) so I was giddy all week from that. It was something my boss and I had talked about before but I just didn’t expect it to go through so quickly.
Needless to say, this was a great week.
JJ iReads Post Recap
- I interviewed Kailin Gow and reviewed her new book “Saving You Saving Me“
- For Top Ten Tuesday I discuss the top ten books I’d like to see made into movies.

- For TGIF/Follow Friday I discuss my dream literary vacation and the things I say to my favorite authors.
- In honor of Jen Calonita’s Belles tour of the south, Jen is giving away through this blog a finished copy of Belles and a special lipgloss.
Books I Started This Week
Books I’ll Be Starting Next Week
Epicness Found In Blogs I Love
- The Apocalypsies posted a cool article featuring different authors’ work spaces. It was interesting to see what an author’s work space looks like and how they all differ from each other.
- For Zombie book lovers, Rachel at Parajunkee posted her audiobook review of Patient Zero by Jonathan Maberry. I haven’t read this book yet and I’m so glad Rachel liked the audiobook so much, because I trust her reviews, and my TBR pile is out of control, so an audiobook purchase might be in order.
- Book Soulmates is celebrating 3 amazing years of blogging awesomeness. Happy Blogoversary girls!
- Parajunkee and Alison Can Read are changing the rules a bit when it comes to Follow Friday. Check the link for the new rules to become a FF feature.

Thanks for visiting JJiReads and commenting. I just recently uninstalled the IntenseDebate commenting system since it was causing problems with the blog's load time. Any comments previously made using that platform will not be visible but are definitely not gone. Comments made as entries to giveaways will be counted whether they were made in either IntenseDebate or the Blogger commenting system.
I loved Insurgent and Grave Mercy. Enjoy all your books!

Nice set of books you picked up this week. I opened up Pretty When She Dies on my Kindle and I think I might be reading that very very soon based on just the first page.
