Blog Tour and Review | Snark and Stage Fright by Stephanie Wardrop

Snark and Stage Fright
by Stephanie Wardrop
Release Date: 03/10/15
Swoon Romance

Summary from Goodreads:

Happily-ever-after isn’t as happy or forever as Jane Austen makes it look. Just something Georgia Barrett learns when her sharp tongue costs her the only guy she’s ever really cared about: Michael Endicott.

Determined to move on, Georgia lands the lead role in the school’s fall musical. But to survive on stage, she’ll need to learn to express herself without her protective shield of snark. She soon discovers being honest with others means being honest with herself, and the truth is she’s still in love with Michael.

But from the looks of Michael’s new girlfriend, Georgia isn’t the only one who tried to move on. Apparently, some people are just better at it than others. And when Michael and his girlfriend join the cast of the fall musical, Georgia finds out that snark and stage fright are the least of her worries...

Trailer Talk | Insurgent

Clearly I am not Dauntless, because I am a little late with jumping on the Insurgent train.

I just saw the final trailer today, and I am wary of how the movie is going to play out. I enjoyed the Divergent movie. It could have been better, and it could have been worse. Since it is one of my favorite books, I was very critical of the film, and it did not live up to my expectations.

So, I am hoping that Insurgent can make up for that.

Discussion | My Thoughts on Twitter

As some of you may know, I finally succumbed to the pressure and made a Twitter for the blog, and I could not be happier with the decision!

You can find me at @Crazyfor_YA. 

I joined about a week ago. The first couple of days were pretty calm, but then the 2015 Love A Thon happened. It was chaos. I felt like a teenager who just got their license, but then was thrown into the Indy 500 (or some other major racing competition, I do not know much about them).

I had to navigate an ocean of tweets, mentions, and replies. It was confusing, but extremely fun to be in the midst of everything.

Know that I have experienced the joy (and chaos) that is Twitter, I wish I had joined sooner. Of course there are both pros and cons to being on Twitter and other social media, and that is exactly what I am going to explore today.

Last List Blog Hop | Strange Skies by Kristi Helvig

Today, I am glad to be a part of the Last List Blog Hop to get the word out about the wonderful authors who are on Egmont's Last List. 

Sadly, Egmont USA, a popular publisher, has closed its doors. This has left its authors in a bad position. They will not have a marketing team to help get the word out about their books. So, Cuddlebuggery organized this blog hop to help these wonderful authors publicize their books. 

The book I am spotlighting is Strange Skies by Kristi Helvig, the second book in the Burn Out series.
