Saturday, July 26th 2014: Stacking the Shelves #38 - Meme

It's been a little crazy lately, so I apologize for the brief comments. I've been traipsing through England and Scotland, visiting family and traveling on holiday. I've been thinking of starting a feature on my blog, I'm just a little unsure as to what to do. Obviously I want something unique but bookish, and I'd only want to do it once a month.

Since I travel all over the world on a fairly regular basis, I've thought about involving that in a feature, maybe. It just needs to be bookish to involve my blog. Maybe a book for each place I've been (whether it be city, state or country) or that I want to go (I'd LOVE to go to Rio). Maybe have a book that reminds me of the country/place or is similar.

I don't know. I mean, it has to involve people and capture their interests. Do you think people would be interested and would want to participate? I mean, the bookish part would be kind of complicated. Any ideas?

Don't forget to check out the giveaway in the sidebar!

Happy reading!

Besides what's happened on my blog, I also went to Comic Con in London yesterday (yes, I may have forgotten to mention that I'm visiting family in England at the moment). I had no idea they had bookish things at Comic Con. I thought it was all marvel comic stuff. I love watching the Avengers and X-Men as much as the next movie-goer, but I can't say I'm all that into comics. I'm more of a novel person.

So when I came across all of the book-y things, you can imagine I was ecstatic. I probably never would have gone to Comic Con if my brother hadn't dragged me with him. 

My brother and his friend went as peacekeepers from the Hunger Games. I painted the helmets for them (I most definitely would not win any artistic awards for my ability, but my rough skills served their purpose). Another friend who came along went as Katniss, also from the Hunger Games. 

One of the helmets I painted

I hadn't planned to go in costume at all, and didn't have time to really put one together, or I would have gone as Effie Trinket. So I just did some crazy make-up and dressed as best I could as if I were from the Capitol. Luckily I had a parasol and a fan on hand as well.

Anyways, sorry for dragging on, there was this entire section for book-related events. There were workshops (I tried to get into the blogger one, unfortunately they only had limited spaces), author signings, a place to buy books, a white board that had the tag #WeWereLiars, a giant TFIOS poster, and a table full of free swag.

This is some of the swag I picked up. I have more of it that I couldn't find a place for too :)

Of course I got tons of swag. I even bought several books and met some new authors I hadn't heard of before. As it was, I think going turned out to be a rather interesting experience. If I go again next year or find where its at in the States I've decided to go as a book character. Maybe Katsa from Graceling by Kristin Cashore. I don't know. I want a kick-ass heroine. Any ideas?

The reason I had only one post this past week was because I was trying to finish up some deadlines (drivers ed and writing courses I'm taking) so it's been a busy past couple of weeks. I apologize for the slight delay in plans. I shall continue to get back on track this next week.

Anyways, what have the rest of you been reading recently? How has your week been going? Lots of books this summer?
