1. The Bibliosanctum blog: I stopped by at The Bibliosanctum to read the thoughts of a fellow book blogger because I was curious to see what she'd say about N.K. Jemisin's writing style. I am glad she has a good eye. N.K. Jemisin's writing is vastly original and if I am being honest unlike anything I have come across in my vast years of reading.

And yes. That's about it. I just haven't been wanting to do anything. Lack of interest can do that to you. Although, I am working on it.

1. Nick and Nereyda's Infinte Book Playlist blog: I had the pleasure of reading Nick and Nereyda's write-up about how they handle co-blogging on their blog. It was great to get some advice from them because to be honest co-blogging with Jesse is not always easy. I don't ever regret opening up my blog to blog alongside someone else but coordinating is difficult and I agree with Nick and Nereyda, communicating, is key.

All in all the post really helped me and I hope to use some of their tips to better myself in communicating with Jesse.

2. Civilian Reader blog: I checked out a guest post by author Paul Cornell over at Stefan's blog merely out of curiosity.

A slow week for Latest in Blog Visiting but I was really too busy to do much blog visiting this past week. Since I have been putting my Spotify music subscription to use and listening to music, while pushing myself to read faster so that I can begin Sunborn Rising by Aaron Safronoff. And balancing these two things along with a few other things hasn't been easy.

1. Me, My Shelf, and I blog: Imagine my surprise when I came across a character/author interview with Lauren Oliver, one of my new favorite Middle-Grade authors over at Me, My Shelf, and I. Having recently read and reviewed Liesl & Po this was wonderful, indeed.

Interestingly, Lauren Oliver has already begun a Middle-Grade series co-authored with H.C. Chester called Curiosity House.


2. The Mile Long Bookshelf blog: Amber writes a love letter to libraries. Probably my most favorite post from her book blog, among a few others.

3. Kim's Pensieve 2.0 blog: Kim talks about her visiting comic bookshops for Free Comic Book Day, an event I would love to take part in if only Roswell, GA had more comic bookshops.

4. The Reading Queen blog: Christina brings up an excellent point, most of us book lovers, have like no self-control when it comes to books and book buying. At least, I know I don't.

6. Geeky Reading blog: While I have wanted to read Citrus for a long time, this Geeky Reading review convinced me to definitely read some day. Too bad my to-read pile is overflowing.

Post Visited @ Geeky Reading-Manga Review: Citrus, Volume 2 by Saburouta

7.  BookLovers for Life blog: I also read a review for Dare to Take by Carly Phillips. Somehow the review made me realize this was not a book for me given how Lacey mentioned this is definitely not a story with utmost novelty and I don't like predictable or tropey. Therefore not something that can pique my interest and hey I have to be picky with the books I buy, after a while book buying adds up.

8. Music Knows No Bounds blog: Finally for something a little different. Sigh and double sigh. Despite my better intentions to break away from TK's music. I can't. As such as soon as I came across a Live Report of one of TK's concerts thanks to Polaris I was utterly giddy. 

Which is why I had to read her Live report. I heavily recommend it!

4. Luxury Reading blog: I'm happy that I found Luxury Reading as of late fascinating. Nina wrote a wonderful review about The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins. 

Her reviewing was truly phenomenal enough that what I got from it was that The Library at Mount Char will offer novelty in story, non-linear story progression, and a nice flow of story coupled with vivid language. As I mentioned on her blog, this book, is one I must have.

1. The Starry-Eyed Revue blog: As Jen contemplates her upcoming 5th blogaversary coming on The Starry-Eyed Revue she wonders if she should bother doing a blog giveaway or not.

I really enjoyed reading How Book Blogging Has Changed Me as a Reader because I definitely relate to the knowing a lot about authors than you ever wanted part. As book bloggers we are invariably helping authors promote their books to the public and this leaves room for us to see a lot more of them than we bargained for behind-the-scenes.

1. Steph's Stacks blog: Pure awesome fun this post was. It's so very true that Hollywood has hurriedly become obssessed with the Executive Branch for movie inspiration. Then again they need to get it from somewhere. Pinnochio might be adapted to the big screen in a live-action adaptation!

1. Experiments in Manga blog: Ash @ Experiments in Manga celebrates 2 years of consistent blogging where he writes manga and anime reviews and spreads good information about any of your anime and or manga needs.

Ash is a very talented reviewer and recommend you become familiar with his blog.

Ash also shares his August 13-August 19, 2012 Week in Manga. Of the many reviews on The Week in Manga : August 12-August 19, 2012, The Monkey King, Volume 1-2 by Tatsuya Terada seems particularly of interest but it's good idea to read the Chinese classic Journey to the West he recommends. In Anime, there is This Boy Can Fight Aliens directed by Soubi Yamamoto that is an unusual anime. It's also surreal and has some comedic aspects. Looks pretty good and might yet watch!

On Finding Manga: Right Stuff you can learn new tips of how to take advantage of one of America's largest anime and manga specific retailers out there with great savings. If you happen to not know anything about RightStuff.com then it's a good time to get to know it.

• Fantasy 

Review of Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident by Eion Colfer

Eoin Colfer's bestselling antihero is back in Artemis Fowl: The Arctic Incident--the superb sequel to the hyper-hyped Artemis Fowl, shortlisted for the Whitbread Children's Book of the Year. The Arctic Incident sees the slightly older, perhaps slightly more mellow arch-criminal Artemis recovered from his last adventure, richer now that he has his half of a hoard of fairy gold, and happier since the Clarice Starlingesque superfairy Captain Holly Short of the LEPrecon returned his mother's ailing mind to full health. 

But there is still much unfinished business: Artemis Fowl Sr. disappeared when a daring escapade designed to free his family from their criminal--not to mention deeply lucrative--past and move the family's assets into legitimate enterprises went horribly wrong. Held captive by the Mafiya (the Russian organized crime syndicate) for over two years, he has been declared officially dead, but Artemis Jr. knows in his heart (yes, he does have one) that his beloved father is still alive, and he is determined to find him. Meanwhile Captain Short is temporarily on assignment to Customs and Excise as punishment for letting Fowl separate her and her People from their gold and is finding her stakeout duties a little dull. It soon becomes obvious that the pair have need of each other's considerable skills, and before long they are on track for an adventure that will ultimately have far-reaching consequences for both of them.

The second book in Colfer's fairy fantasy series is just as good and find out more in the review!

• Vampires 

Review of Crave (Crave #1) by Laura J. Burns and Melinda Metz

Shay could never do the things her friends could--never try out for sports, never go to parties, never fall in love. Because of the mysterious and incurable blood disorder she was born with, she can barely make it through three days of school a week. 

But now, her doctor-turned-stepfather has a brand-new treatment that he thinks will change everything. And it does. As soon as the new blood starts pumping into Shay's veins, she has visions of a different life...Gabriel's life. She sees an orphanage, loss, fangs, blood, and lust that she can't explain. 

Is Gabriel real? And if he is, could he really be what she thinks he is? 

This was a rather unique vampire book that you should read about if your a fan of vampires.
