On the Blog:

Around the Blogospere:
I am a little behind this week on other blogger's posts since it was Spring Break and I was really busy. I am trying to catch up this weekend on the blog's I follow. Here are a few posts that I did catch:
-Bloggiesta is this week. If you haven't joined in before you should. It is a lot of fun and I have met quite a few bloggers joining in!
-Have you ever checked out JC's Book Haven's sidekick series??? It's fun and there is some great artwork going on too!
-Because Reading is better then Real Life talks about the nonsense that is Facebook.. the fact that you might have 1000 likes but only 15 see the post!
- The Once Upon a Time readathon at Stainless Steel Droppings is starting!! Super fun everyone so check it out!!
-Bookish Whimsy talks about Circulating Libraries. I love this so much!
Internet:
The Maze Runner movie has been pushed back... so I was not sure about it. Then I saw the trailer and it looks decent!
Might as well put in TWO movie trailers based off books this week... The Giver trailer was also released:
Books Books Books:
I didn't get too many books this week. It has been a busy week with friends visiting for spring break so I didn't get a lot of reading done or blogging done. But I will be back strong next week. I do have a ton of comics to catch up on. While on Spring Break I visited a GINORMOUS comic book store called Mile High Comics. It's in a huge warehouse and when I say it's full I mean it's FULL!! OH and yes... that comic is $17,010.00!!!
How was your week?????
Oooh so many lovely comics. I have yet to visit an actual comic book store. I'm hoping to do so sometime in the future! I think I'd find a lot I wanted.

I love visiting them. Usually they will have geeky items throughout the store... not just comics. Tee-shirts, posters, figurines. I like too that there are a lot of people in the store who are interested in the same things as me too!
ReplyDeleteSweet stack of graphics - you're obviously a super hero fan. I never have gotten too into the super hero ones. I like SF and Fantasy ones.
ReplyDeleteyeah I'm glad The Maze Runner got pushed back it will give me time to read it cause I've been meaning to FOREVER.
The Giver - guess I better check out and see what that one is.
Someone told me tonight that the Giver was a movie before now so this is a remake of that movie. I have to look up the facts on that one though. I have all of a sudden been addicted to superhero comics lately. I am racing through them! Tomorrow = reading that huge stack all day.
ReplyDeleteI will check out your Guardians of the Galaxy review, very curious about that one. I kinda want to see where they're going with this team with the movie coming up. I haven't read any of the new stuff yet...
ReplyDeleteAnd Mile High Comics looks like a great store. I've heard of it of course but never seen pics, looks huge!
The comic store near my place looks pretty claustrophobic in comparison lol ! Hope you had a good time with your friends. Have a great week ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm not the only one who read Hamlet! Awesome. Although I didn't review it myself... :p
ReplyDeleteOh wow! Never been much of a comic reader myself. Although as a kid, I did read Scooby Doo comics! Not sure that counts though! Lol! Hope you enjoy your reads this week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS
Have a GREAT day!

I'm not into comics, but wow, what a store, I would enjoy browsing around there.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and Happy Reading.
My Sunday Post is here
I'm not really into comics, but my 9 year old daughter LOVES them, and right now they're the only books I can get her to read. She's taking AR (Accelerated Reader) tests at school with comic books right now-which drives her teacher batty, lol. But, hey they count and it's getting her to read!

You did good! May you have another great productive week!
ReplyDeleteHere is my post.
The comic books remind me of my oldest two sons, who had an obsession to collect them back in the day....
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to Bloggiesta. Hope to have fun!
Enjoy your week...and here's
MY WEEKLY SUNDAY/MONDAY UPDATES
wow that comic store is huge. There are so many movies coming out I want to see. Glad you had a good week Angela. Off to check out some of the links!
ReplyDeleteI heard about Mile High Comics when I went to San Diego Comic Con. They had a huge booth there. I didn't even know it was in my state!
ReplyDeleteHm. I wasn't blow away by the Maze Runner but I agree the trailer looks quite decent :) And wow, so many comics!
ReplyDeleteI didn't love the Maze Runner book either.. and then I saw the trailer to the movie and thought.. WOW! Though trailers can be tricks ... you go to the movie and yuck!
ReplyDeleteThe Giver trailer isn't making me want to see the movie, but I do want to read the book now!
ReplyDeleteIt is a good book. It's been many many years since I read it so I do need to re-read it.
ReplyDeleteWow! A $17K comic? That's just incredible - why can't I own something like that? And that place is huge!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoyed your spring break :)
I think that comic is Flash #1. So it's when his character is introduced and it was in really good condition. A collector would love to have that.
ReplyDeleteThat comic book store looks to be on the level of the much beloved Powell's in Portland, OR! I might have to add it to my must visit list.
ReplyDeleteI am about to google Powell's right now!
ReplyDeleteOh, it is amazing. I spent a whole day there last spring. I dream of living there.
ReplyDeleteOMG I loved The Giver, it's one of my favourite books of all time! Thanks for posting the trailer I am very excited now :D Enjoy all of your graphic novels too!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I haven't heard of this place before! I want to visit it sooo bad.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even know the trailer was going to be out and then I happened to stumble upon it.
ReplyDeleteOoOh comics! That place looks awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt was really amazing... my eyes were bulging out of my head.
