Cast your villain

Nicole at Word for Teens has a a challenge going on (with a GREAT prize!) where we pick our favorite villain and then who would cast them. She already has some good ones up so it's actually sort of hard to think of another... but the one I'm thinking of is Devina from The Fallen Angels series by JR Ward (Covet and Crave). This is an adult series (sorry, this is what popped in my head).

Villain: Devina from The Fallen Angels Series by JR Ward (she's a demon)
Cast: Angelina Jolie
Why:
She just is able to pull off evil and she's absolutely beautiful. I'm not picking her by a description of Devina because I don't remember what color hair she had or anything.

Steampunkery- Steampunk style! November 1-30

November is Steampunkery at Candace's Book Blog.

You will find all kinds of fun goodness, Steampunk style!

I'll have guest posts, book reviews and giveaways.

On this post I will keep the list of all the Steampunk posts that are going up and will provide the links once they post. I'm not a Steampunk genius, I just know I enjoy the books I've read and the style. Luckily I have some great, and much more knowledgeable, bloggers, writers, and authors helping me out.

Mad Scientist, from Steampunkery and Book Reviews is going to be doing some guest posts and helping out, a lot! She has a brand new blog that has been crazy successful. I found her on her first week and knew she had something good!

Although I will be doing a lot of Steampunk posts in November I will have some non Steampunk posts as well. You will know it's a Steampunk post by the banner that will be on the top of each one. It looks like this:

(Thanks to Mad Scientist for the Friday Fashion and Knicker Tuesday aka Teaser Tuesday)

As the calendar is made I'll post on here. So although I know I have a lot of books for giveaway, and reviews to post, and guest posts as well, I don't know when I'll be posting them quite yet.

I am still looking for more reviews, more guest posts, and am always looking for more books for giveaway!
