The Summer Blogger Promo Tour

AH! That's it lovely people of the interweb! It's been a great summer full of exciting posts from some new and wonderful bloggers. We've had some book tags, guest posts and even a couple of reviews and now it's time to wrap it all up and have a quick look back at what we got up to! 

SJ Bouquet

On the 6th of July SJ and I took on our very own bookish Tri-Wizard tournament! We let you lot decide who the winner was and I'm happy (if not slightly bitter) to announce that SJ won!! It's still up so you can always cast your vote and check out how we took on the challenges in a fine book blogging style. 

You can find SJ on her BLOG and on TWITTER.

The Book Bratz

Next up on the 13th of July we got to know Jessica and Amber a little better with a guest post on why they started blogging. These two girls were the masterminds behind the whole tour and so I think we owe them both a little - if not MASSIVE - round of applause. 

You can fine The Book Bratz on their BLOG and on TWITTER.

Dana Square

The lovely Dana and I took on The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepard on the 20th of July in our very own little book club! We both found ourselves drawn into this rather creepy world were the rules of right and wrong are blurred. Beware the madness and the spoilers!! 

You can find Dana on her BLOG and on TWITTER.

Endlessly Reading 

On the 27th of July we had our only male blogger on the site with a fun little book recommendation in the style of a scavenger hunt! Andrew shared some of his favourite books and I for one wouldn't agree more with him on the majority of his picks! I would tell you which ones but that would be giving the game away. 

You can find Andrew on his BLOG and on TWITTER.

Ana Loves

To start of August on the 3rd we had a little Q&A with Ana to get to know this brain box a little better. She answered some Q's and it was a change to get to know the 17-year-olds bookish ways without having to physically stalk her. Which I don't encourage btw... unless you're staking Theo James, then I can't help but wish you luck ;) 

You can find Ana on her BLOG and on TWITTER.

The YA Club

Okay so this one went up a little later than planned on the 11th of August as I managed to get my dates all muddled up. Don't hate me I'm only a Muggle! Although even a little later we still had a great post where LS from the YA Club shared her top 10 books of all time with us! Anyone else's TBR piles feeling 10 books bigger?

Caught Read Handed

Oh this one was fun! On the 17th of August Stefani and I took part in a little boo club were we got to read and devour Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour. We both loved this one and it's such a great book for summer... even if it is almost over. Again, there are spoilers but if you've read this book then get on over and see if you agree with what we thought!! 

Find Stefani on her BLOG and on the TWITTER.

Ink On The Shelf

And lastly on the 24th of August we had the wonderful Jen. Jen took part in one of my favourite bookish tags at the moment, The Chocolate Tag. Because come on, who doesn't love chocolate and books? These were her sugary recommendations for you. 

Find her on her BLOG and on TWITTER.

CAT-POCALYPSE

Today we have something a little different for you. It's just a bit of fun but you never know what situation you might find yourself in and if the day comes when the cats take over the human race this post could come in handy! So these are Emma's 10 Things You Need To Know To Survive The CAT-POCALYPSE! 

How did the CAT-POCALYPSE come about?

Humans keep posting pictures of cats to social media portraying them as cute, hapless, funny, adorable... They're sick of it. A lot.

Who would be the cat mastermind of the CAT-POCALYPSE?

Dinah (the cat from Alice in Wonderland). She was so traumatised by her childhood experiences; disappearing owners, their sudden returns and being over-shadowed by a disappearing, grinning felines... that she went a little fame-hungry and ultimately became a monster-kitty. She has the drive for change, but maybe not the sanity for a full on assault.

Name a dystopia book that may give you some hints on surviving?

Hmm, depends if the cats are out to kill us or play with us like mice! I think they'd like the chase, so I'll say The Maze Runner. I didn't like the book very much, but I think being held by captors and chased through a maze might feel pretty similar!

Who would be the leader of Human Revolution? (fictional or real)

I'm going to have to say Lyra from His Dark Materials. She didn't take any s*** from Pantalaimon, and he was a cat a lot!

Are you a part of the Revolution or a Cat sympathiser?

I think I'm a cat sympathiser. The pressure to be cute all the time - I couldn't take it either! ha

The five best ways to bribe our new Cat Masters?

Tuna, strokes, catnip, squishy yarn, nyan-cat - possibly more of a threat than a bribe!

Who would you turn to for help during the CAT-POCALYPSE? (fictional or real)

Buffy. She's dealt with a lot of -pocalypses. I'd page her ;)

CAT FIGHT!: Crookshanks (Harry Potter) vs Buttercup (The Hunger Games) - who wins?

Buttercup for sure! That cat's got venom!

The Cat Masters induct an "honorary cat" into their collective - who would it be? (fictional or real)

Literally the cast of Gossip Girl?! Can't remember how many times I thought "miaow!" to some of the things that went on! Catty, to say the least.

Which book would you read to escape the CAT-POCALYPSE madness around you?

The Humans by Matt Haig. Just for a reminder of what the revolution is fighting for!

For total escape, probably Jane Austen. I can't remember any cats in that ;)

So that's how Emma's going to survive when the Cat Master's rise up and take over the world! If you want to know how I plan on making it through these dark, dark time head over to Emma's site by CLICKING HERE

FYI - Crookshanks has taken over the world in my CAT-POCALYPSE and he's one evil kitty indeed!
