Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is where Amanda @ On a Book Bender and I shamelessly plug each other, share the fantastic posts, giveaways, or whatever else we’ve found and loved by other awesome bloggers (or authors!) during the week, and talk about the books we plan on reading in the coming week.

The Week Ahead
I’m not sure yet. I have a list, however, I want to start encouraging myself to read whatever sounds good and not what I *should* read next.
Link Up!
With the ways that my moods switch so much when it comes to reading, I think I’m going to move more towards the books I’ve been reading rather than the ones I’m planning to read.
Did you ever get more into the Hounded audiobook?
@ Amanda @ On a Book Bender : I haven’t tried yet. I’m almost done with Hunger Games. I can’t decide if I’ll jump into Catching Fire or if I’ll try Hounded again. I’m guessing you would suggest Hounded?
You are back! Woot!
I love your read Goodreads stats. I may steal it, though my CR post is wicked long already…
YOU GOT TICKETS TO SEE FLORENCE + THE MACHINE?!?!? I am SO jealous!!! Lol. And thanks for the link love, though I’m still highly amused that my site was the one that was blocked….:)
I have a question! I have always done Week in Review posts and added IMMs to that, but I do not feel like doing IMMs anymore. So, I wondered if I could participate in this meme but still keep the name I use right now as long as I added a credit link. Is that okay?
Also. Florence and the Machine. I am dying a little on the inside. Okay. No. Make that a lot.

Congrats on your promotion!! And Flo tickets!! That’s an absolutely awesome week in any terms!!
I think I need to give Game of Thrones a read! Everyone seems to love it.
