My Weekly Round Up In The Stacks (IMM #156 / STS #19)

Hello and welcome to this week's edition of my Weekly Round Up in the Stacks. This week was full of book EPICNESS! Mundie Moms turned 4!! I know, it's crazy how fast time flies. I know I keep saying this, but really and truly THANK YOU to everyone who's been apart of and in any way supported MM's over the past 4 years. I truly appreciate it. I celebrated our birthday with a giveaway! Head over to HERE to enter to win.

More of this week's YA book epicness came from Sony Pictures's #ShareMortalLove , then there was all the exciting news and cover reveals (there are ALOT, check them out HERE), and here in Austin there were two huge signings I attended. The first signing Book People hosted was on Wednesday night for Scarlet by Marissa Meyer. She is so incredibly lovely! If you ever get the chance to meet her, do so! I'll share my interview and signing recap shortly. In the mean time, here's a few pictures from the event.


The Breathless Reads tour came to Austin on Friday Night with Andrea Cremer, Marie Lu, Jessica Khoury, and Brenna Yovanoff. What a FUN, fun, event this was! Thank you to Penguin, I was their live blogger for the event, and not only tweeted during their chats (you can see what I tweeted about via #BreathlessReads), I also sat down and chatted with the authors. I'll have that interview up later this week. I LOVE, love, love these ladies!! Seriously, love. We had such a blast. Please if you can, go see these guys and all the rest of the Breathless Reads authors on tour.

This week was an exciting one book wise. You guys, there are so many fabulous YA books coming out this year and some equally amazing MG ones!

Here's some of the goodies that arrived this week.

Bought:

  • The Trap Door (The Infinity Ring #3) by Lisa McMann, not pictured
  • Reached by Ally Condie, signed
  • Cinder by Marissa Meyer, signed
  • Scarlet by Marissa Meyer, singed
  • HEREAFTER by Tara Hudson, signed, paperback
The other really exciting thing from this week was discovering I was quoted on the back of Tara Hudson's paperback copy of HEREAFTER! I was at Book People on Friday night for the Breathless Reads tour (more on that later this week), and I was looking through the books, and randomly pulled out HEREAFTER by Tara Hudson, as I hadn't seen it yet, and I was totally SURPRISED to find this on the back of the book....my quote for HEREAFTER (I'm on the bottom)! 


I had no idea I was quoted on there! I was so shocked, and excited and flattered. I adore Tara, and I feel totally honored to be quoted on her book. I fan girled more, since another favorite author/person of mine is Andrea Cremer and she's also quoted on the book. Okay, sorry, I'm still in shock and awe over this. 

Thank you to:
Simon & Schuster, Razorbill/Penguin Teen, Harper Collins, Walden Pond Press, Harper Teen, Little Brown, Scholastic, Random House, Tor Teen, and Disney for this week's awesome reads.

This week on the blog:

There were a lot of exciting things happening on the blog this week. Sony Pictures's #ShareMortalLove took precedence over everything else I had, had planned. Their clues and this week's reveals were EXCITING to say the least. Okay they were sigh worthy and perfect. This is the first time in four years that I did not have a review posted on the blog. *gasp* I know, that's a little shocking to me, but I did have a blog tours, an author chat and author signings I did attend, so there was plenty of bookish love on top of the TMI love happening on the blog. Here's a look at some of the highlights:

 #ShareMortalLove (all the posts, Cassie's thoughts on the ones she posted about, and the must see pictures in this link). Here's a few pictures just because ;) 


Reveals 1-5 Simon, Izzy, Alec, Jace and Magnus (see them in HD here)
 MAGNUS!!! FINALLY!!! 
Sony saved the best for last, Jace and Clary *sigh*
