Clock Rewinders (12/30/12)

Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is the brain child of Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Tara @ 25 Hour Books.  I'm inviting myself to their party (as I sometimes do) because I have so damn much fun reading Amanda's posts that I couldn't help myself.

Reading the Paranormal Week in Review

• Review: A Low Down Dirty Shane by Sierra Dean - I am very excited about this spin-off series!
• Top Off Tuesday - Tied with a bow, indeed!
• Review: Savagery by Emma MacKenzie - Enjoyable, but one character was disturbing.
• Review: Hammered by Kevin Hearne - This series has unequivocally become one of my favorites.
• Review: Inside Out by Maria V. Snyder - A wonderfully dark, almost claustrophobic, dystopian.
• Review: I Hunt Killers by Barry Lyga - I don't think I have the words to tell you how much I'm looking forward to book 2.
• 2012 Year in Review - I read a lot of books.

• I've been having fun over at Reading the Paranormal's Facebook page. Links to freebies, random bookish chatter, and all manner of banter with the fabulous peeps stopping by! Go. Like it. I won't mind.
• Unbreaking the Shelves weekly update (the last one of the year!): I DID IT! I completed this challenge. I wanted to clear out my older review requests (10 books) and the signed books I had picked up over the past year (20 books). So... there you go. I HAVE CONQUERED YOU, CHALLENGE!
• Bout of Books 6.0 starts the 7th of January. Have you signed up yet? There's still time to get in on the fun of a week long read-a-thon! If the stars align, Amanda and I might try to put together some fun stuff on the Bout of Books FB page, so if you haven't liked us there, do it!
• I got a new Kindle for Christmas and I LOVE IT! The downside is that I have to reorganize all my collections and such but that's a (very) small price to pay. Seriously, my old Kindle was 3 1/2 years old and it was starting to do weird things like take a verrrrrrry long time to turn on when I toggled the power button. So, yay! Kindle!

News from around the blogosphere:

• I got nothing for you this week, guys. Well, except a Cracked article of about animals and their amazing penises. I'll save that for next week.

Have a great New Year!
