If you’ve been keeping up with us here at the lounge then you know that we have read The Mortal Instruments trilogy. Today the first book in The Infernal Devices Series is released!  The Clockwork Angel is the first book in The Infernal Devices series and is a prequel to The Mortal Instruments. So that means we will be reading The Clockwork Angel for our book of the month of October!  But if you have to read it now, it’s in stores ready to be picked up!

We’re so excited for this book as we loved The Mortal Instruments.

It’s also available in Audio, you Kim will be getting this one.  If you haven’t tried audio click on the link below and give audio a chance!

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to write a book and then get it published? Well Shannon and I had the chance to talk with an author who is soon to be published! Victoria Schwab shares her journey with us here at the lounge.  She has written a book called The Near Witch and is eagerly, patiently, and excitedly awaiting it’s release next August.  Pull up a cool drink and sit back and listen in as we talk with Victoria about this crazy journey to become a published writer!

ABOUT THE HOP:

In the spirit of the Twitter Friday Follow, the Book Blogger Hop is a place just for book bloggers and readers to connect and share our love of the written word!  This weekly BOOK PARTY is an awesome opportunity for book bloggers to connect with other book lovers, make new friends, support each other, and generally just share our love of books!  It will also give blog readers a chance to find other book blogs to read!  So, grab the logo, post about the Hop on your blog, and start HOPPING through the list of blogs that are posted in the Linky list below!!

We here at the Lounge are a podcast more than a blog. But we do share lots of info pertaining to our book of the month on our blog.  We often have extras like trip reviews, movie reviews, and interviews with not only authors but people in the industry.  Please feel free to listen to a few of our shows and let us know what you think. You can find our shows HERE and on itunes.

We thought we’d join the hop to get our name and show out there and to find some new fun totally kickin new blogs to associate with!

This week’s question is:  How many blogs do you follow? This one is hard. I’m sure between Shannon and I we follow at least a couple hundred.  I know that seems like too much and I don’t read them all like I want.  But a few are photography sites, so it’s the photos I’m most interested in.  There are a few I frequent regularly.
So many Blogs so little time!
