Hey everyone!
So I finally decided to do a bookshelf tour (I've been asked to do it a couple of times on my Instagram and now I've finally gotten around to it!).
Anyways, it's pretty long since I do take out each book and show you the cover. So if you have time to spare please check it out, it did take me a little while to complete this and let's just say it was difficult wasn't easy. But let me assure you that it was totally worth it and I really enjoyed making the video!
Couple of things to keep in mind: I am in no way trying to brag by posting this video. This is only to give you a better idea of what I have and have...

Casey (and E.A. Rigg) need you!
Last year I reviewed a really wonderful and totally awesome book called Casey Barnes Eponymous by E.A. Rigg (check out the review here) and like I said it was just all around amazing!
Now, in 2013, E.A. Rigg is trying to raise money to take her book to the next level. She is trying to raise $3,500 and has already raised $1,466 (as of today, February 23).

He may occasionally eat people, but he’d rather be riding abandoned airport escalators, listening to Sinatra in the cozy 747 he calls home, or collecting souvenirs from the ruins of civilization.
And then he meets a girl.
First as his captive, then his reluctant guest, Julie is a blast of living color in R’s gray landscape, and something inside him begins to...
