Tech Tuesday - Leviathan

Hey guys, this is your lame edition of Tech Tuesday!

I have nooo time right now - I have to leave in five minutes for work so I can't exactly pull something miraculous out for you guys, but I've got (another) book trailer. I'm reading Leviathan right now by Scott Westerfield, so here's a trailer for it - it's pretty good so far.

Let me know what you thought of the book if you've read it, or just what your thoughts in general are! Until next week :)

Tech Tuesday - Maggie Stiefvater Edition

Hey guys! Today's Tech Tuesday is going to be featuring one of my favorite authors, Maggie Stiefvater. She's the author of Shiver, Ballad, Lament and the upcoming Linger. What I love about her trailers & videos is that she does it all herself! All the music, artistic stuff etc, and I love that she's such a diverse author with not just one focus :)

So here are a couple of her book trailers along with another really cute promo thing for Shiver using Play-Doh.












I'm going to be honest here - the song she wrote for her Ballad trailer is actual the most played song on my ipod right now :p Oh! That's right - she has all of her written music up for free downloading on her site, which you can find right here. Yeah, I really like Irish music... :)

See you guys next week!

Oh, and I'm super sorry if the reviews slow down in the near future - I've started reading Anna Karenina as a little personal challenge, and it's taking a while :p

Tech Tuesday (4)

Welcome to the fourth installment of Tech Tuesday! Our first video may be familiar to some, I dunno. It's become a bit of an internet phenomenon. This is the first part of A Very Potter Musical. Personally, I find it... interesting. Some love it, some hate it. It's up to you, but I figured I'd share it.



Our second video, once again, is going to be a book trailer. This weeks book trailer is for Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles. I loved the book, but be warned: It is a HUGE bowl of cheesiness. If that's not what you're looking for, you've been warned. The casting in this video makes me laugh too :) So enjoy!



Hope you all had a great Tuesday!
