The Breathless Reads tour came to Austin on Friday Night with Andrea Cremer, Marie Lu, Jessica Khoury, and Brenna Yovanoff. What a FUN, fun, event this was! Thank you to Penguin, I was their live blogger for the event, and not only tweeted during their chats (you can see what I tweeted about via #BreathlessReads), I also sat down and chatted with the authors. I'll have that interview up later this week. I LOVE, love, love these ladies!! Seriously, love. We had such a blast. Please if you can, go see these guys and all the rest of the Breathless Reads authors on tour.

The other really exciting thing from this week was discovering I was quoted on the back of Tara Hudson's paperback copy of HEREAFTER! I was at Book People on Friday night for the Breathless Reads tour (more on that later this week), and I was looking through the books, and randomly pulled out HEREAFTER by Tara Hudson, as I hadn't seen it yet, and I was totally SURPRISED to find this on the back of the book....my quote for HEREAFTER (I'm on the bottom)!
I had no idea I was quoted on there! I was so shocked, and excited and flattered. I adore Tara, and I feel totally honored to be quoted on her book. I fan girled more, since another favorite author/person of mine is Andrea Cremer and she's also quoted on the book. Okay, sorry, I'm still in shock and awe over this.
Thank you to:
Simon & Schuster, Razorbill/Penguin Teen, Harper Collins, Walden Pond Press, Harper Teen, Little Brown, Scholastic, Random House, Tor Teen, and Disney for this week's awesome reads.

This week on the blog:
There were a lot of exciting things happening on the blog this week. Sony Pictures's #ShareMortalLove took precedence over everything else I had, had planned. Their clues and this week's reveals were EXCITING to say the least. Okay they were sigh worthy and perfect. This is the first time in four years that I did not have a review posted on the blog. *gasp* I know, that's a little shocking to me, but I did have a blog tours, an author chat and author signings I did attend, so there was plenty of bookish love on top of the TMI love happening on the blog. Here's a look at some of the highlights:
#ShareMortalLove (all the posts, Cassie's thoughts on the ones she posted about, and the must see pictures in this link). Here's a few pictures just because ;)
