Currently...Celebrating

It's time for another entry in my "Currently..." segment, in which I let you know what I'm currently up to on a number of highly important topics.

This week is my birthday week! Be sure to check out my 2013 birthday picks and enter the giveaway on my special post here.

I AM CURRENTLY...

READING:
The Elite (The Selection, #2)

Novels: Just finished re-reading The Selection. When I first picked it up last year, I thought it was a stand-alone - imagine my horror when I discovered it, in fact, wasn't. There was a lot of screaming involved, and a rambling tirade of a review that will never see publication. But going into it this time with full knowledge of what I was getting myself into, it turned out to be a fabulous read - just goes to show I'm the type that needs full disclosure. Now I'm devouring The Elite, and quite enjoying it as well.
Manga: Another Yotsuba& finally came into the library! This series is so adorable, even though it has to be read in several sittings, for some reason - too much makes me a little loopy.

WATCHING:

TV: Our house adores Murdoch Mysteries, a Canadian historical mystery series. Murdoch is all about using science and deduction to catch his perpetrators, although our favorite character is the protege and now-novelist Constable Crabtree. ;) If you haven't given this series a try, definitely do. And next week will see the return of Revolution! I hadn't heard anything about it in a while so I thought it had been cut, but lo and behold the commercials have begun again. It's not one of my favorite series, but as it's dystopian and not too bad I couldn't help but get hooked.
Movies: I finally got my hands on Wreck-It Ralph! I've been looking forward to this movie for a while. It was really cute, and now I'm a total Vanellope fan. SHE IS SO ADORABLE.

WRITING:

Project P: Due to way too many similarities to an upcoming release, Project P has been put on hold until I can read the offending book and determine just how similar the similarities are. So far, just off the summary, it may be up for the Trunk. T-T
Project V: I pulled out several older projects to possibly take up once more, and as always Project V is the one that stands out. I'm now perusing my notes again.
New Project: Who has a new story idea about an alien abduction? I have no idea what you're talking about.

LIFE, THE UNIVERSE, AND EVERYTHING ELSE:

Blogging: This week has been busy! I now post religiously every Monday (a book review) and Wednesday (usually for the meme Waiting On Wednesday), and try to post something every Friday. It makes for a lot of bustling on my part, but I enjoy it.

Bookshelf: I have been blessed with some luck this 2013. I've made a few pretty awesome trades, and won a few giveaways! Needless to say, though, my TBR pile is INSANE.

Giveaways: My birthday giveaway of an ARC of Etiquette & Espionage is still running here! You have until tomorrow midnight to enter - good luck!

That's it for me. What are you "currently" up to?
