Remainders (21)

Ex Libris Remainders

Well, hello!  It’s been a while since I’ve done a remainders post!  I hope all of my US readers are having a good holiday weekend.  Things have been very busy on the reading front here at Ex Libris.  I am up to 154 books read in 2013, and I have many more to go.

The highlight of my week was getting to moderate a discussion with Sarah J. Maas at the fabulous Blue Willow Bookshop.  Sarah’s series, Throne Of Glass, is one of my favorites.  She was in Houston to talk about the second book in the Throne of Glass series, Crown Of Midnight.  She is lovely and hilarious.  We played a game where audience members had to try to correctly pronounce the names of the characters in her books.  Let me tell you it was not easy.  Bloomsbury made a great pronunciation guide and you can find the guide here.

Sarah talked about her writing roots, which included Harry Potter/Sailor Moon fanfiction and a 200,000+ word first draft of Throne of Glass!

If you aren’t lucky enough to see Sarah on one of her tour stops, you can order a signed copy from Blue Willow Bookshop!  They and very friendly and they will ship the book right to your doorstep.

I’ve had a few books come my way the past few weeks….

From NetGalley:

Thank you, Scholastic!    Thank you, Bloomsbury!

Thank you, Harlequin!     Thank you, Random House!!

From Edelweiss:

Noggin Thank you, Simon & Schuster!!

In the mail from Abrams!

Goodbye, Rebel Blue

I got a peek at the Macmillan winter catalog and there are some fabulous titles in there, including new books from Marcus Sedgwick and Elizabeth Fama!

I also saw City of Bones an I really liked it!  Was it a perfect movie?  No, but that’s ok.  I thought they did an excellent job adapting the book and the casting was fabulous.  I even brought my  husband along and he thought it was really fun.  If you haven’t seen it yet, what are you waiting for?  🙂

I think that’s it for this installment!  Thank you for stopping by and please leave me a link so I can visit you, too.  If you are a new follower, please let me know because I’d love to return the favor.  Have a great week!

  1. I saw your tweets about this on twitter. How fun! It seems like it was such a great event. I haven’t read the series before but apparently it’s awesome and I’m missing out. How did you get the lucky opportunity to moderate? That’s so neat. I love Blue Willow. I live nowhere near Texas but they’ve sent me a couple of books from author events that I had signed. I think it’s completely awesome what they do for those of us who never get to see an author event. For some reason nobody comes this way.

    I won a copy of STARRY NIGHTS that I completely forgot to add in my STS post. Thanks for reminding me for next time! I’m not sure how it’s going to be, I’ve seen some mixed reviews. It does look fun though. I can’t wait to read GOODBYE REBEL BLUE. I hope you like the new books!

  23. With havin so much content and articles do you ever run into
    any problems of plagorism or copyright violation? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve
    either created myself or outsourced but it seems a lot of it is popping it up all
    over the internet without my agreement. Do you know any
    solutions to help stop content from being ripped off? I’d certainly appreciate it.
