Happy Singles Awareness Day everyone!

Today I’ll be professing my love not to a significant other, but to my most favoritest inanimate object of all times. Read Forth….

Hearts & Flowers

Big New on the Interwebs y’all.  The biggest of the big (at least for this fangirl!):

Scholastic announced the name and gave us a sneaky peeky of the last (SOBS!) book in The Hunger Games trilogy.

*drum roll*

May I introduce to you….

Mockingjay

**pets**

Isn’t it pretty?

There’s been some Twitter-sation about how well it fits in with the other two books but I really like it. In particular the lighter tone gives a feeling of optimism.  I also like that the Mockingjay is ascending kinda like a hint that The Districts will rise up from the oppression of The Capitol.  Of course this could all be a false sense of security.  Suzanne Collins is a masterful author with some serious balls so I won’t be surprised to see everyone get killed in the end!

Of course, then my fangirl dreams could kinda sorta live on with the thought that maybe, just maybe, she’d leave Prim alone and we’d get another set of books out of her plot to avenge.

**sigh** happy place.

Anywhoooo, now all I need to do is find out who I need to bribe to get me a copy of an ARC (which I know they aren’t doing but I’m still gonna hope somewhere somehow it’s gonna happen for a few people in the world).

Cybil’s Award Challenge

The first guest post on The Cybils Award Challenge blog was posted this week.  It’s an awesomely entertaining and humorous behind the scenes look by Elissa Brent Weissman on how her book Standing For Socks was crafted.  Please go over and show Elissa’s post some love!

You’ll also notice on my blog (if you click through from your reader) that I’ve now added a link to the challenge blog’s posts in my right sidebar.  I’d really love it if you all subscribed too because it’s gonna continue to have excellent content throughout the year.

Lastly, if you’re a Cybils nominated author who’d like to guest post feel free to contact me I’d love to host you.

Alrighty folks, that’s about all I’ve got for this Sunday.  I’m slowly working through my feed reader this weekend so you’ll see me poking around the blogosphere I imagine.

Have a great week ahead!
