Noteworthy blog posts/articles:
Kelly over at Radiant Shadows posted an awesome debate (with herself) about Blogger and WordPress. I’m one of the bloggers who is a little scared to switch so I loved getting some more insight about both Blogger and WordPress. If you are like me and want some more info, definitely check out Kelly’s post here!
Kirthi over at Pages talked about a great topic this week: sad books or happy books. I love them both but my friends don’t always understand why I adore sad books. Kirthi explains it wonderfully in her post so check it out here.
Erika over at Rescue Reads posted an awesome discussion on Happily Ever After. While I do love my happy endings I have to agree that she makes some fabulous points regarding the chances of these happy endings actually happening in real life. Check out her post here and leave your thoughts in the comments!

Cover reveals:
Great post.
I’ve added Girl Parts on to my Wish List – so thank you for another book suggestion. (My Kindle Wish List is starting to creak under the strain).
As for the Cover Reveals, I’ve already see the one for Unbreakable and I like the look of it. If I had a choice, I would have preferred the US covers for the Unraveling series, but we had a different cover in the UK which reminds me of the poster for Source Code.
Best wishes.
News for nerds is such a brilliant idea and post. I always learn something new, thanks for posting 😀
The cover reveals were ridiculous this week! WOW! So many pretties! I think Goddess is my favorite! There is also something I really like about Parallel. And of course Sweet Peril.
Super stoked about Diana Peterfreund’s new book too! 🙂
Thanks for sharing all this news! And thank you for sharing a giveaway on my blog! 🙂
Anyone who hasn’t read North of Beautiful should definitely take advantage of the ebook deal. It’s such an amazing book!
I always love this post!! I get informed on everything in just one post! so many awesome new covers I missed on this past week and I’m so glad Awkward got picked up!! its going to be great!

So. Many. Cover reveals this week. Some of them are so pretty:)
The Registry sounds like it has potential to be really good, and I cannot wait for more information about it.
Thanks for all the information!
Thanks for the news! It seems like I’m always so busy I miss most of it. Posts like this are awesome!
Wow, there are SO many cover reveals this week. I see some really pretty covers there 🙂
It looks like shades of purple is the new cover trend! Thanks so much for the shout-out to my post 😀
Wow, there were a crap ton of cover reveals last week, I could barely keep up. Looks like I still missed a couple so thanks for sharing. And the cover reveals keep coming this week! So excited for Unraveling!
Have you read Icons by Margaret Stohl? I found it really different. Beautifully written but I didn’t love the characters. The world and aliens was interesting.
