Clock Rewinders is the brain-child of Tara from 25-Hour Books and Amanda from On A Book Bender, showcasing the past week on the blog, in the blogosphere, books, the weird and the wonderful.
I didn’t do a Clock Rewinders post last Sunday because I’ve been feeling so stressed and exhausted so this week’s will sum up the past two weeks. My incoming will be in a Showcase Sunday post as I may have bought a few recently.. Stress relief. You know. *cough*

Around The Blogosphere
- Celine has moved from Blogger to WordPress. Changed your bookmarks and plop her new blog in your readers.
- For Amanda’s birthday, she answered our questions. Sadly I didn’t get the answer I hoped for *sniff* but have fun reading.
- I’ve got two Hanna-y reviews to share with you from the past couple of weeks. Both of books I haven’t read but would really like to. First up, White Cat by Holly Black, followed by The Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin.
- Last Sunday, Ellie from Musings of a Bookshop Girl talked about Reviewer’s Block. Oh how I have felt your pain recently, m’dear.
- And last but not least, Bout of Books sign-ups are now live! Join us!
Not Quite The Blogosphere
- It was a couple of weeks ago now that the film trailer for Cloud Atlas was released but it wowed me so much that I had to make sure you guys have seen it. This is proof that you should never judge a book by its’ cover because I’ve always assumed Cloud Atlas was one of those life-changing, depressing contemporary novels but lo-and-behold it’s actually 6 different stories exploring how history is constantly repeating itself. It’s a historical, a contemporary, and a futuristic dystopian all in one and I nabbed a copy of the book as soon as I was able. And will be seeing this movie. Watch the trailer!!
- I love this ‘If You Liked The Hunger Games‘ flowchart which helps you to choose your next read.
- It has been confirmed that The Hobbit will now be a trilogy as opposed to the originally planned two movies. Geek-squee!!
My (Two) Weeks
I’ve started a personal blog which I haven’t had chance to update in the past week, and I’ve also blogged a little on my gaming blog as I am focusing a fair bit on gaming at the moment. When I’m exhausted I turn to gaming and I’ve really been playing a lot of WoW before the new expansion comes out.
Search Terms

What Am I Reading?
Finished: Grave Dance by Kalayna Price
Started: FrostFire by Zoë Marriott
What Next? I don’t know! There are so many!
I’ve been so stressed and not with it lately that I haven’t read much at all in the past couple of weeks.
*huggles you* I hope the next few weeks are less stressful for you!
PS. If the boyfriend and I don’t work out, I’m all yours.

They definitely won’t be! 5 days in work this week. Stress will go down in September. I hope. Maybe after my feature.
Hannah’s most recent post ..Clock Rewinders #14
I’m onyl just catching up from the last two weeks. It’s hard to go out and do things and keep up the reading/blogging.
Ellie’s most recent post ..Incoming! (Bumper Edition)
Well that’s good because I’ve barely been around!
Hannah’s most recent post ..Showcase Sunday #5
I can’t imagine keeping up three blogs. I can barely do the necessary for one.
Looking forward to seeing what you think f The Masque of Red Death. I was given a copy recently, so I’m curious to know if I need to bump it up my TBR pile.
Ruby’s most recent post ..Clock Rewinders On a Book Binge for 8/5
Oh I never said I keep up with the other two.
My gaming blog is the oldest of the three and I never had it in me to get rid of it, so every other month I have a small burst of posts. Haha. My personal blog is just there for when I have the overwhelming urge to post something that doesn’t fit the other two. My book blog is still my main blog and the one I want to keep up with. 
I haven’t got a copy of Masque of the Red Death just yet but I’ve heard amaazing things.
