Sunday Share 28: Divergent, Reading Life & Events & Con Prep!
Happy Sunday! I haven't done these in a few weeks. I've had a lot of work which is good and I’ve been working really hard to clear out my TBR Piles.
I was very lucky to get a pass to the Los Angeles Times Hero Complex Screening in Burbank on Wednesday. It was such a cool event! Free popcorn & Drinks a limited edition Divergent poster and a Q& A with the Director, Producer and the actor who played Eric. I really loved this movie. I feel a lot of it is do to the Director.
He talked about the detailed conversations he had with Veronica about the society and the motivations of the characters. One thing that I was really pleased to see was the amount racial diversity in the cast. The leader of Dauntless was African- American and there were as noticeable amount of Black, Hispanic and Asian characters through out the cast.
I loved the fact that there was so much diversity it was obvious that the intention was not to just throw a few “token” appearances.
Reading Life
My Physical TBR pile is down to 15 . My goal is to finish these by June. With the 24 hour readathon coming in April and the Bout of Books readathon following, I’m confident I can finish these all by the end of April. Also I just passed 100 books for my Goodreads challenge :0
Review Books
I’ve been turning down a lot of review books in order to clear out my reading pile, so my current review stack is at a manageable 6 .
Here are the books that came in for review in the past few weeks:
Both of these are from TOR and are continuations of my some of my favorite series
Events
Right now I’m totally immersed in Batman! I'm going to be celebrating Batman's birthday in May by hosting giveaways, guest posts and reviews. If you would like to provide a guest post leave me a comment:
