A Thanksgiving Treat !
It’s Black Friday and while Kat is away I’m holding down the blog. Because we are participating in this little thing called National Blog Posting Month we have to post for every day in November. . . however, you know life outside blogging can be and nothings been planed for the next two days so I’ll be winging it.
For Thanksgiving, I made some coconut cupcakes and I want to share the recipe with you in today’s post They were moist and delicious. You don’t have to make the coconut–add some extra vanilla or cocoa powder to the mix.
These will make the perfect reading snack.

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 ?
