Tour De ARC: Across the Universe

The Tour De ARC is chugging along all breakneck speed, so hold on to your wi coms because Across the Universe by Beth Revis is on it's way to Kim Franklin! 

The lovely Cinnamon at Cinnamon: On Writing Books and Being Toast started the tour by graceously lending her own ARC (advanced review copy) of Across the Universe to Colene at The Journey.  Then, because Colene loves me uber lots, she sent it on to me.  And now I am finished and have sent it on to Kim.  Make sure to check on Kim's blog to find out who the ARC will go to next!  It may be YOU!

So, I normally don't do reviews on here, I just didn't want to add one more thing to my plate.  Besides, I've got the hookups with the lovely greenbeanteenqueen.  She's got ARCs-a-plenty and has actually just loaned me the brand spanking new ARC of Blood Magic by Tessa Gratton.  It was part of her gigantic amount of books she acquired at ALA.  Ah the perks of working at a library with a famous book reviewer and teen librarian.

Okay totally went off topic.  So, I read Across the Universe.  Long story short: LOVED it.  Go read it.  Like, now.  Seriously, I'll wait right here while you go buy it/check it out....

Dum dee do dee dum...

Okay, so now that you're back from buying it or putting it on hold at your local library, I'll go ahead and leave you to your reading pleasure.

OOH ooh, hop on over to my good friend Donea Lee's blog to read some interviews of me and two of my blogging besties!  She's calling it AbCoJen.  It's really cool to see our three different answers to the same questions!

Sci Fi Lovin

So, I've been on a Sci Fi kick recently.  I've discovered that I need me some rough and tumble Science Fiction every once in a while.  You know, to balance out the princesses and unicorns.

I'm reading two Sci Fi books right now:

Across the Universe  by Beth Revis, which came out yesterday by-the-by.  You should really go pick it up, I'm halfway through and loving it!

And Cassastar by Alex J Cavanaugh, who is one spectacular blogger and all around awesome guy.  It's an adult novel so if you want something that's not a YA, but reads a little like one, I suggest this one!

Also, Hubs and I are watching the Family Guy Star Wars spoof, which is quite hilarious considering we watched the 1st and 2nd Star Wars (in which I mean 4 and 5 I guess...) on Christmas.  We don't watch Family Guy, but a friend loaned it to us and I have to say there are some really funny bits.

And then, of course, I had to watch the Back to the Future Marathon that was on every day on AMC during the week after Christmas, even though I own two copies of each movie.

PLUS the movie Serenity (made from the tv show Firefly which was also on tv recently) by Joss Whedon.  Brilliant show with wonderful acting.  They're space cowboys...'nuff said.  If you haven't picked them up, you should really watch them.





Anyway, so that's what I've been into lately.  How about you?  What kick have you been on recently?
