Blog Watch Wednesday!

Hey all. Hope your week is going as well (and QUICKLY!) as mine! I've got a review of The Wild Rose almost ready to go up on here, possibly later tonight. Here are the next couple books I am most likely to read this week:

The Mephisto Covenant by Trinity Faegan (netgalley)

Ultraviolet by R.J. Anderson (netgalley)

Room by Emma Donoghue (purchased)

Becoming Marie Antoinette by Juliet Grey (won)

and with that, onto the Watch!

One of my favorite bloggers, Libby over at her eponymous blog Libby Heily, has put together some AWESOME videos. I watched each one of those (and the commercial multiple times). Hers is definitely a blog I spend waaay too much time perusing in order to procrastinate.

If you're a fantasy fan, you've probably heard of a little book/show called A Game of Thrones. For those who haven't seen this blog, Pat's Fantasy Hotlist has a ton of fun links and posts about the show. We've got a teaser trailer for season two, the fantastic soundtrack listing (available for pre-order on iTunes now), and even some pretty amusing video parodies.

Over in the tech world, for the first time the Nook has surpassed Amazon's Kindle in Consumer Report's ratings. That is, of course, for the next few months until Amazon re-tools and relaunches their new Kindle. But for now, Nook reigns supreme.

Another one of my required daily blog visits: Unabridged Chick. The lovely Audra just reviewed the upcoming release Mr. Bishop and the Actress, a "fun and sexy" Regency novel. Her short and sweet interview with the author Janet Mullany is here. Audra's also running a giveaway for this novel, so read her review and don't forget to enter!

Like zombies? Or are you more of a vampire person? Well, if you're the former, The Bookish Brunette has typed up a nice list (with summaries) of the year's most anticipated zombie releases for her Waiting on Wednesday meme. Nice list, probably none that I will personally read. Not a zombie fan, me.

Lastly, this talented fellow has an amazing post up of his most recent artwork. The one I am linking has Superman, and a few friends of his. The earlier ones have Hermione (as Emma Watson), burlesque dancers.. you can't go wrong. Check it out. If you follow me on twitter, you'll recognize the style from my avatar picture.

Have a great day!
