Book trailer of the week:

Technically there are two Evolution of Mara Dyer book trailers but I like this creepy one the best.  

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!
