More Weekly Geeks fun and this time, but this time I’m not really in any specific mood…

Kids who don’t eavesdrop on adult conversations are doomed to a childhood of ignorance. – Men of the Otherworld by Kelley Armstrong

No, I would not want to live in a world without dragons, as I would not want to live in a world without magic, for that is a world without mystery, and that is a world without faith. – Streams of Silver by R.A. Salvatore

When life offers you a dream so far beyond any of your expectations, is it not reasonable to grieve when it comes to an end? – Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

If anyone is going to be in the Princeton, NJ area this weekend,  Jackie Kessler and a bunch of other authors are going to be getting together for a rousing book signing.  They are going to be at Chicklet Books in the Princeton Shopping Center at 5pm to 9pm this Saturday.

Terry Spear is guest blogging over at Sam’s Book Blog and this time she’s talking about Ticking Time Bombs.  Don’t forget, Terry was here at Literary Escapism on Tuesday and we’re giving away a copy of Destiny of the Wolf.  The contest ends at midnight on March 17th.

Have you heard?  The fourth Accidental Friends novel by Dakota Cassidy is going to be Accidentally Demonic and it’s slated to be released February 2010.

CONTEST ALERTS

  1. Jaci Burton is having a massive contest in celebration of her April 7th release of Riding on Instinct.  The grand prize…a $100 Harley Davidson purse with a second prize of a $100 Amazon gift card.  Sound good?  All you have to do is click here to enter the Riding on Instinct contest.  I should also mention, there are going to be daily prizes as well.
  2. Have you wanted to try Meljean Brook’s Guardian series but like me, haven’t been able to get your hands on a copy of Demon Angel, the first full length novel?  Now is your chance.  She’s giving away 5 copies of Demon Angel and 5 copies of Demon Night.  The contest will end sometime next week.  Meljean doesn’t know when it’ll end, so I would get over there while you can.
  3. Lauren Dane is  celebrating the end of Read an E-book Week and is giving away any ebook from her backlist.  The contest ends tomorrow at 12p PST….that’s 3pm EST.

I know my husband is interested in the new movie Watchman, but after watching the opening credits, it now has my undivided attention as well. It looked good during the trailers, but the opening credits make it look freaking amazing.  I was going to put the trailer along with this, but after watching the opening credit, it didn’t hold up. This is much better. Talk about kick-ass heroines.

About Jackie 3282 Articles
I am a 30-something SAHM with two adorable boys and a supportive husband who is very tolerant of my reading addiction. I love to read and easily go through about a dozen books a month – well I did before I had kids. Now, not so much. After my first son was born, I began to take my hobby of reviewing a little more serious and started Literary Escapism to help with my sanity. I love to discuss the fabulous novels I’ve read and meeting all the wonderful people in the book blogging community has been amazing.

  1. Love the quotes :) I watched Watchmen last night and it was a good movie. A bit depressing and graphic at times but still an pretty amazing movie nontheless.

    Thank you so much for sending White Witch, Black Curse! It arrived this morning.

  4. I have completed the New Author Challenge. It was fun. I will still stip by and visit your blog as you always talk about great books

  6. I love that first quote! My sister and I were just discussing this today, the kids come out of the woodwork when we’re on the phone.
    I wanted to thank you for hosting the new author challenge. I’ve been reading favorites for so long I didn’t realize what a rut I was in. I’ve read 17 New Authors and each one makes me excited to try more of their other works. But I am waiting until I finish the challenge!
    Hope your’s is going well, too!
