Mug Monday Feature – My Monday Mug ( sorry about the dino horse mug. Daughter #2 and I had a very opinionated discussion on the feature. To be presented when we´ve come to an agreement )
Book Topic – Behind The Book Blog Scenes + Book news
Happy Mug Monday! And welcome to something I´m sure isn´t as interesting as a Top 10 post or a Tag… But what the Hell, right? This is a blog and I can do whatever the flipping foo foo I want ( apologies – I´ve only had a slice of toast with Nutella for dinner earlier ).
What I have in mind for this week´s post ( and for the next Mug Monday posts ) will be more revealing than anything else I´ve done.
For the next few Mondays I´ll be showing you what it is I do before hopping online and giving you all ALL the glitter and glam. Yes. You´re going to see the mess.
This is not a post about me unloading the super ugly onto you ( I´ve got that special reserved for the husbutt. Lol ). You´re going to see the harmless mess. The type that´s sort of mandatory when it comes to book blogging.
What I´ll be revealing:
- My notes ( Yes. I´m a note whore )
- The way I prep props ( Yes. I´m a master at organizing shit )
- Where I shop for props ( this includes
stealingborrowing from a selected few people) - Blog routine ( Yes, I have one )
Etcetera, etcetera….
Here´s a very organized sneak peek of what´s to be expected.
So, basically… you´ll get to see my book blogging life in form of pics and…. maybe a vid or two ( who knows. Haven´t thought that one out yet ) I can´t really give you much more info because I´m currently distracted by all the new sparkling lights and Christmas ornaments and glitter crap I just bought.

Speaking of Edward Cullen ( Laawd, I can´t remember the last time I typed that name out. Years, people! IT`S BEEN YEARS!) 10 years, to be exact. Jesus H Christ on a popsicle stick- A decade flew by in a blink of an eye! ( Need to eat something or else I´ll turn into a poet )
I´m not mad that this is Twilight´s tenth year anniversary. The more time passes the more we´ll forget all about the era where people romanticized vampires.
Oh, and speaking of being mad….
This. I am literally fuming. F.U.M.I.N.G.
I go online and the first thing I see is this?! * deep breaths, Morgana. Count to 3…. *
A movie poster for the upcoming Àfter film. After- as in Anna Todd´s bestselling After. But hey, that wasn´t the only shocker of that hour. The trailer popped up after I saw the poster.
WHEN!? WHY?!
How was I able to miss out on this terrifying news? Why did anyone think this was a good idea? After is a story about an unhealthy relationship between teenagers ( or young adults. Can´t remember. Don´t really care, either ) And WHY (!!!!!!!!!!!!) make the trailer look like this movie is going to be the next Fifty Shades Of Grey? There´s no reason for the seductive background beats unless they´re turning this into a….. I´m sorry. I can´t even finish that without breaking out in a hysterical fit. Does this surprise anyone?
I can feel my blood pressure rising. Would you like to know why? Feel free to read my review on the After books HERE.
Okay, my lovely bookish Padawans. It´s time for this lady to kick her house shoes off and try to pick out my next read. Because right now, I´m in the worst reading funk I´ve ever been. Not a great position to be in when you’re a book blogger.
I hope you enjoyed this week´s Mug Monday.
Feel free to leave your thoughts on the Twilight anniversary below. And don´t shy away from expressing your own feelings towards the upcoming After movie. I promise- all thoughts are welcomed. ❤
Until next time!
Oooh, notes and preps! I love the sound of that!
Also props, yay 🙂 I bought a few little things recently that i can use in pictures, but haven’t actually did anything with them yet. Classic.

You should start using the things you bought😊 but I feel you. Lol. I buy stuff and don’t use it because… well, I’m a forgetful noodle.

For me it’s more like, “oh well it seemed like a good idea at the time, but i can’t make them look like anything in the pics” 😀

You are not alone with that problem! I usually end up letting the girls have a go at the props I buy because I´m like: “Yeah… no.”

By the way the actual dino horse mug can’t be any worse than the things my brain is coming up with! 😜

I haven’t read Twilight in forever. I kind of want to reread them lol. And from the trailer, After does look like a teenage 50 shades. Ew.

I haven´t read Twilight in…. I think since they were published. Let me know how the reread went!! I´m dying to know if your feelings have changed. Because that´s why I´m not rereading them. I´m too afraid I´ll end up typing up a manuscript sized review for each book. Lol
Meeh. Sex sells, even if a book ain´t sexy… Movies will add sex to lure in adults as well. I´m definitely going to the movies when it releases. Wanna see how close the movie is to the books. Then I shall bitch my life away. HAHAHAH
