What We Are Thankful For
This Thanksgiving we want to give thanks to all the book bloggers that have inspired us during our blogging journey. As new book bloggers we are always looking to learn and be innovative, I don’t think we would be here today without them.

First you have to understand that when we started this blog we had no idea there was a book blogging community.
Just days after Books and Sensibility was created, Iloveradingandwriting had a contest where the first fifteen posters who responded would get buzzed on her site. No only did this help us gain interest, but we were introduced to the world of book blogging, without it we would be alone out here.
The Story Siren and Breaking The Spine
How do you get to meet hundreds of book bloggers in a matter of seconds ? The memes created by Story Siren and Breaking The Spine. A few months ago I could have only named maybe 2 new books, now I can names hundreds (okay, maybe just tens)
Katie’s Book Blog, Sash and Em, Dianne Salerni, What’s Your Story YA and Creative Reads
They were kind enough to host giveaways in which we won some amazing books we would not have thought to read on our own !
A Cupcake and A Latteand The Girl Who Reads A Lot for adding us to your blogrolls and spreading the love !
Most importantly thank you to all the readers and followers for taking time from your day to read a piece of our minds.
Happy Thanksgiving !

Waiting On Wednesday Vol. 8
Dead To You By Lisa McMann
Ethan was abducted from his front yard when he was just seven years old. Now, at sixteen, he has returned to his family. It’s a miracle… at first. Then the tensions start to build. His reintroduction to his old life isn’t going smoothly, and his family is tearing apart all over again. If only Ethan could remember something, anything, about his life before, he’d be able to put the pieces back together. But there’s something that’s keeping his memory blocked. Something unspeakable…
This reminds me of theFace On The Milk Cartonseries. Some of the early reviews say it has a twist ending. . . wonder what it could be.

Clockwork Prince by Cassandra Clare
As their dangerous search for the Magister and the truth leads the friends into peril, Tessa learns that when love and lies are mixed, they can corrupt even the purest heart.
Bet you guys haven’t ever seen this book before ever ? After feeling lukewarm about The Mortal Instruments, the Infernal Devices has peaked my interest. I enjoyed Clockwork Angel and can’t wait for the next installation.
So, what are you all waiting on ?

Cover Wars : US Vs. The World Vol. 4
Inspired by I Want To Read That and Not Enough Bookshelves as well as my own love of pretty book covers, Books and Sensibility presents: Cover Wars.

If These Books Were Judged By Their Covers : Twilight
They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but ever so often Books and Sensibility contributors take a stroll around the local bookstore (okay, the internet) to see what we can find in the world of book covers
Clearly Wal-Mart is Team Edward
Seriously, all of the trade paperback Breaking Dawn movie tie-ins in my Wal-Mart were like this. I think someone at Wally world has a sense of humor.

If These Books Were Judged by Their Covers: Of Course It’s a Corset
They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but every week Books and Sensibility contributors take a stroll around the local bookstore (okay, the internet) to see what we can find in the world of book covers
Is the book you are reading a historical romance ? Does it have a prominent female character ? Is it Steampunk ? If you answer yes to two or more of these than your cover may have a corset on it.
I’m not surprised corset covers have become so popular. Corsets are a classic (although harsh) symbol of femininity and are popular among Victorian authors, cosplayers and readers.
Do you have any favorite corset covers ?
