✿ What else I've been up to this week ✿
1. Tweeting with Marie Rutkoski. I just love it when you want to compliment an author on Twitter, and when she/he actually responds back to you! It's a small act but a huge gesture to make a little bit of time in your schedule to tweet back to your fans.
2. Raiding bookstores. I actually went to the city centre twice this week and found zero books to take with me?? I did get one paperback via mail and got two other e-books, but I can't believe I was able to resist all the pretty books in the bookstore. I'm not sure whether I should be proud or worried.
3. Skyping with mom and old friends. I live in a different country than my family or my closest friends do. So it's always extra special to have a long Skype talk with them and just ramble about nothing and everything. I can't wait to see them during the summer - it will be so nice.

How was your week?
It sounds like you had an amazing reading week! Everbound is so good (I cannot wait to pick up the last book in the trilogy), and I've heard great things about The Winner's Curse. Your chat with Marie Rutkoski also looks fun - I love authors who respond to you on Twitter! The other week, I basically interviewed author Anne Blankman on Twitter about her book, Prisoner of Night and Fog. Marie's responsiveness makes me even more excited to read her novel.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a lovely week this week!
I still have to read Evertrue as well, I'm a bit sad the trilogy is approaching its end. :( And you should get the Winner's Curse - it was such a good read despite the slow start. :)
DeleteAnd yeah, it's great that the authors are responsive. Somehow it makes me like their books even more as I know that they are nice people, haha. :)
Thanks for stopping by!
Sofia, I've had at least two authors tweet me! One author is using quotes from my review in her tweets to promote her short story. It's so cool.
DeleteAnd the review I posted this week, I've gotten feedback from the author via Twitter as well.
It's motivation to find out of the author has a twitter account and use their handle in tweets!
The winner's curse has had a lot of echoes on the blogosphere. Have a great week !
ReplyDeleteThat's true, and I don't think it's for nothing. :) Thanks for stopping by
DeleteI keep hearing about The Winner's Curse, I really need to just read the thing, lol.
ReplyDeleteIf you're interested you definitely should check it out! :) It was a really enjoyable YA high fantasy novel.
DeleteThanks for visiting!
I have Fangirl and hope to get to it soon. Enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteHere's MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
I hope too that you get to it soon. It was so real and authentic portrayal of a girl with social anxiety. :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteIt's always great to have the author respond. :) I picked up The Winner's Curse a couple weeks ago, but I still haven't read it, hopefully soon. Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's Sunday Post
Yeah, it is! :) I always start to fangirl so much when an author responds back. I hope as well that you pick it up soon - it's really good!
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
Sounds like an awesome reading week for you. I want to read The Winner's curse and Half Bad so much. I haven't borrowed or purchased a copy of either one yet. I just might buy them for my Kindle. I loved Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. Did you like it?
ReplyDeleteI really recommend both TWC and HB. :) They were even better than I expected them to be. And yes, I really loved Fangirl! I didn't it expect to be sad - I cried so many times while reading. Now I really want to read other books by Rowell. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
That's amazing! I love it when the authors actually respond to your tweets and many of them do :) I'm happy when I see that :) I will have to read The Winner's Curse soon as it seems really amazing. Great post :)
ReplyDeleteIt really makes me happy as well - especially if they answer you more than once. :) And I really recommend TWC - such an amazing YA fantasy. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by!
That's one of the best things about being a book blogger - the contact with authors, especially if they value us :) Skype has completely changed the way I can keep in contact with my parents who live about 2 hours on a plane away from me, in a different country.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and Happy Reading.
My Sunday Post is here
I so agree with you there - it's good to know once in a while that the authors actually care about what we think and value us. :) I don't know what I would do without Skype! I probably couldn't stand the radio silence.
DeleteThank you and thanks for stopping by!
Always nice to interact w/ authors on Twitter. I have a hard time hitting a bookstore and not getting something too- it feels weird to walk out without a book, but sometimes that's good cause I think I spend too much on new books! :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Tell me about it! It demonstrates some real character if you're able to walk away without any books in your hands. :) I should try to resist more because I still have paperbacks at home that I haven't read yet.. I should read those before buying any new ones!
DeleteThanks for stopping by. :)
A turtle? lol Have a great week! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I cracked up at that as well. :) Thank you, you too!
DeleteI enjoy chatting with authors on Twitter and I still get excited when someone responds. I haven't used Skype much but what a great way to keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :)
That giddy feeling is the best when you see that an author has tweeted you back. :) Skype is the best, especially she your loved ones live far away from you. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteYou had a more productive week than I had! I just couldn't find the time to sit down and just read! I'm hoping for better things this week. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI have plenty of those weeks too. :) It's good to have a break from reading every now and then, because then the joy of reading is high once again! Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteI have so been meaning to read fangirl, but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower of yours

Thanks for the follow! :) And if Fangirl interests you, you should check it out. It was different and real. Thanks for stopping by. :)
DeleteI've heard a lot about Fangirl and The Winner's Curse - I just need to find the time to read it. ^_^ Oh, and snagging it from the library... lol. Sounds like you had a great week! :)
ReplyDelete~Sophia @ Bookwyrming Thoughts
It was a good reading week - I liked everything that I read. :) Haha, I'm sure you'll find time and available copy of these! ;) Thanks for stopping by!
