The Weekly Review: Week Ending June 28

This is a little late this week, all apologies!

What You Might Have Missed Here
I launched a book drive co-sponsored by Lenore for Nothing But Ghosts by Beth Kephart. I also announced there will be a virtual book party here on Tuesday for Nothing But Ghosts including a chat with Beth! I hope you come. I reviewed Shepherd's Fall by Wanda Dyson, Nothing But Ghosts by Beth Kephart, Talking to the Dead by Bonnie Grove, and The Body of Christopher Creed Carol Plum-Ucci.

Other Important Posts about the Book Drive
I have been blown away by the support of the book blogging community in getting the word about Nothing But Ghosts book drive. I think it's sparked some interesting discussion on the importance of buying books. Here are some of the posts I've seen, please, if I've missed yours, leave it in comments and I'll add it.

So...that should hopefully be enough to push you over the edge, right? We're getting awfully close to being able to give out that prize for the 50 milestone. Also, an anonymous donor has upped the final prize to 100 dollar gift certificate if we sell 200 books. So what are you waiting for??? Buy Nothing But Ghosts at Amazon or Indiebound and forward me your receipt! Please note if you purchase the book at any place besides Amazon you must forward the receipt for it to be counted towards the total. If you want to be entered for the prizes, you must forward the receipt period.

A Few other Links of Interest this Week

Love this post on McMommy in defense of procrastinators. LOVE.

Michael Jackson passed away this week and I was never really a big fan so I can't say as though I have any real feelings about it. Farrah Fawcett also passed away and Betty and Boo's Mommy wrote this nice post that helped me to appreciate her life's work.

Raych reviewed the Hunger Games making me laugh. Is that girl on Twitter yet?

And that's all for this week!

Except: Did anyone watch Virtuality? I am seriously sad that won't be a series!!
