Everyone who entered to win the bookmarks will get one monster!!!!

Congrats everyone!!!

That is a LOT of monsters to make so just keep in mind that it may be a while before you get yours. I will try to get you the monster you want but I can't guarantee it because of the quantity I will be making.

To Meme or Not To Meme

I've been thinking about starting a weekly meme and was hoping all of my lovely readers would be willing to vote for which you would rather see. Click on the blog names to see an example.

Option A - Shelf Candy Saturday, created by Five Alarm Book Reviews


Option B - Fun Friday, created by Wall-to-Wall Books


Option C - Wordless Wednesday, I don't have a specific example of this but I've seen these posts randomly on other blogs. Instead of a normal post, I would be posting a picture...most likely it will be pics that I've taken over the years.

Option D - TGIF at GReads, created by GReads <== I'm not sure if I would do this every week, I guess it depended on the question...and how busy I am since this one cannot be scheduled ahead of time.

If you have a preference, just comment and let me know which option! Thanks much!

**Update - Shelf Candy Saturday had the most votes and I've officially started the meme. My first and second Shelf Candy posts are linked at the end of the post.

Feel free to continue to vote as I may add another meme at some point

Shelf Candy #1 - Luminosity by Stephanie Thomas & When the Sea is Rising Red by Cat Hellisen
Shelf Candy #2 - Burn Bright & Angel Arias by Marianne de Pierres

Patricia Briggs Book Signing

I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to meet Patricia Briggs at a book signing in Exton, PA last night! The signing was at Barnes & Nobles. It's a gorgeous BN so if you ever find yourself in Exton be sure check it out! It was a bit of a hike for us to get there after work but hubs and I managed to make it there early to get our wrist bands then grab a bite to eat before the signing.

My hubby voluntarily went with me to the signing which worked out nicely because I was able to get more books signed that way :). He's not a reader so I'm pretty sure he regretted going but oh well, he survived! Haha!



Patricia is very nice and funny! She read the first chapter of Fair Game and answered a few questions. Did you know that Fair Game is not the last Alpha & Omega book?! Woo hoo!

<== Sorry for the fuzzy pic!





She then signed books for everyone. She was great about allowing everyone to go through the signing line twice if they had more than the two book limit. Thanks to that and to my hubby, I was able to get 8 books signed! I was so excited!







7 of those 8 books will be an awesome addition to my signed books collection.










The last signed book is a second copy of Fair Game which I will be giving away on here. I haven't decided when or how I will give it away so make sure you check back every so often so you don't miss it!

It was a long evening, but it was definitely worth the trip! And with any luck I'll be able to catch another Patricia Briggs signing in the future!
