Hey guys it's Rashika. I've been so lazy all week, basking in the afterglow of winning the NaNo. I got some reading done though and will hopefully get time to do more :D

I also joined up with Faye from The Social Potato and will be co-blogging there as well so drop by and say hi if you have the time :)

Hi it's Paulina! I'm boring and I've been catching up on tv shows and movies as well as college work so it means I wasn't reading much :( Butttt!! I did get a free book from college so that's a nice thing :P 

This isn't related to us but The Hybrid Chronicles fans should know that the title for the third book was revealed and.. I likes. It's going to be called. Wait for it.

I (Rashika) have officially won the NaNoWriMo! I managed to write 50,000 words! WOOT And I feel like a free bird. After so long of getting up every day and typing out my 'daily' words I don't have to do that anymore. It's just such an amazing feeling. I still cannot believe I actually managed to complete it. Anyway now I'll have more free time to write reviews and read so I am really happy for that and vacations are just around the corner so woot!

Hey guys it's Paulina. I went to see Catching Fire yesterday (finally!) and it was amazing! I will do a little review soon so keep a look out for that. Seriously the movie was amazing. 

I'm in love with this show! It's a spin off The Pretty Little Liars where we get to see beautiful Caleb a lot more! But it has a supernatural twist to it which makes no sense :/ Anyway if you guys haven't already checked out the tv show and are a fan of PLL then you really need to. 

We hope everyone had a great thanksgiving and ate tons of food. It is, after all, the only holiday where you can stuff yourself without feeling guilty (no I tell lies, I never feel guilty about eating.. okay I am lying again, maybe I am just a liar) (waddup book reference).

I've survived the first 3 weeks of NaNoWriMo. ONE MORE TO GO. I can see a smidge of light coming from the end of the tunnel. Freedom. Here I come. 

On another note, I actually am having fun with NaNoWriMo, more than I thought I would. And I really didn't think I'd make it this far but I did and I am glad. Although I do have to admit, I don't think 50,000 words is enough :P I think I'll need to work on the story next year as well. But I do have a name so YAY!

I also took part in a blogger interview over at The Attic Reviews.

I only found one cover reveal this week. Which is kind of sad. There could be more but I am too lazy to hunt.

Out of Control by Sarah Alderson

There were however two trailers that came out this week. The first one for the Vampire Academy movie (which again, I refuse to watch because I want to preserve the magic of the book in my mind). I know that loads of people were disappointed by it though.

And the trailer for Bitten (TV series) also came out. I was actually pretty excited for it and then I saw the trailer. All I wanted to do was scream and shout because that wasn't how I imagined the characters at all. I know. I know. It's an adaption but I honestly cannot stand it when things like that happen. Anyway here is the trailer.

This week was pretty exciting for us! We reached 10,000 views and 500 comments! Our second milestone (the first being 100 followers). Thanks you for helping us reach our second milestone! We'd have a giveaway to celebrate except that none of us have the money right now :P

Friday also marked the start of NaNoWriMo in which I'll (Rashika) be participating. I am kind of excited but it's a lot of work. So far I am on schedule but you never know. But it's cutting back on my reading time and that's making me sad! Anyway if any of you guys are taking part leave your username thingos so that I can buddy you and see if you're doing any better than I am ;) 

Moving on to the cover reveals for the week, although there weren't that many that caught my eye this week so this 'section' will be pretty sparse. 

Isn't the cover gorgeous? Honestly I wished we wouldn't have to wait until next summer for this to come out. With the way the last book ended, I don't have much patience. AND I WANT GABE TO GET BACK HER DAMN MEMORIES!

Shimmer by Paula Weston

The Chance You Won't Return by Annie Cardi

The trailer for Champion was also revealed. I haven't seen it and probably won't until I am sure the book won't shatter my already fragile heart into pieces. All I ask is that Champion not pull another Allegiant. For ONCE can someone listen to what I WANT? There is too much heartbreak in real life, can we not for once just have a good ending. It doesn't have to be an HEA, it could be bittersweet, just not CRUEL.

I resisted the temptation to request books this week! I am finally catching up on my reviews so as soon as that's done I can start requesting again.

So this week has not been any less busy for me, I am drowning in upcoming assignments and reviews I am supposed to write before the end of next week (3). Which is why I've been so slow lately. I am so sorry it takes me so long to reply to comments..but I do have Paulina covering my back :P

Plus all shit hit the fan the day Allegiant came out. It was one of my most awaited books for this year and I didn't even read it. You know why?  Because I read the spoilers. And I am SO glad I did because I really did not want to waste money on something that would disappoint me so much. In fact even though I haven't read the book, I was ENRAGED by the ending and have been ranting about it for the last couple of days.  I even wrote a rant on goodreads which resulted in me getting my first trolls and it was a good feeling because it felt like I had passed some sort of ritual. Now I get to hang out with the cool kids.

Except I've got people like JOHN GREEN telling me that I don't actually know how to read, or I am not 'reading it' right. How depressing. I don't know how I even made it so far into life without knowing how to read right. According to him we should be reading generously. What does that EVEN MEAN??? Oh I know, it means that John Green is officially on my shit list. YAY FOR HIM! 

If you don't know what I am talking about, here is a link to the article.

Anyway, with halloween coming up this week, we are hoping to review books that have more of a 'horrory' feel to them, you know, to keep up with the theme.

Now moving on to the cover reveals for the week. I missed some last week, so I'll be posting those too, but they are pretty so it'll be worth it :D Of course these aren't all of them, there are plenty more but yeah.

This week was somewhat exciting when it came to the haul because it turns out I am now on HarperCollins Auto Approval list :D So I basically have access to a whole lot of books and I cannot even use this privilege until I am almost done with everything I have right now and post reviews for that, so that won't be until mid november sadly. But since there were 2 books I already requested before that happened I do get to include those in the haul.
