Last Week on Melissa's Midnight Musings:

(Click Links to be taken directly to the posts)

• I did a guest post over on Twificoo about music and the soundtrack of my life
• I reviewed Free Falling by Susan Kiernan Lewis. This is a great story about the resilience and determination of a family.
• I reviewed My Love by Joanne Clancy. It was nice overall, but didn't really grab me too much.
• I reviewed Catastrophically Consequential by Stephen C. Bird which was quite catastrophic and bizarre
• I talked some more about The Soundtrack of My Life in Behind the Blog. The topic is  so much fun to think about that I wanted to add some more to it and tie in books as well.
• I reviewed Crank by Ellen Hopkins. I've never read anything like this before and am definitely a fan of Hopkins writing style.

It's been another busy week here at Melissa's Midnight Musings. And next week is shaping up to be another packed week as well. I've got some really exciting things lined up. But first I want to share with you some of the terms that brought people to the blog last week. I've seen this done on other blogs and thought it would be fun.

This Week's Search Terms:

midnight-orchids.blogspot.com -I'm glad to see that people are remembering my main URL

Ambition's Not an Awful Word That was a great book and it's great to see people looking for information on it.

All the Right Stuff summary- Also another good book that I enjoyed.

audrey's guide to witchcraft Can't wait to read and review it.

how to reference getting mail harry I can only guess that this was someone looking for information on Harry Potter?

And now on to the schedule for next week. As I mentioned I have a lot of great things coming up next week. 

Coming Up This Week:

• Don't Miss it! Tomorrow I will be announcing a really cool feature that will last throughout the month!
• I will be interviewing author Steven Manchester about his latest book, Twelve Months. 
• I will be announcing the winner of the Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft giveaway.
• Review of Broken City by D.D. Chant
• Behind the Blog: This week's topic is Historical Events:

If there is one constant throughout the world, it is that time never stops. It continues to trickle past us and what many people don’t realise is how important that fact is. People study history in school and a lot of people don’t really listen, bored of everyone stating that “history repeats itself.” So this week we’re looking at historical events and how they’ve shaped us today. It could be events in your life, in your lifetime or ones that happened years ago that have affected you in this life.
In relation to media; what historical fiction books and films have you loved? Were the historical details accurate? Was it the history or the fiction that pulled you in?

• I will also be bringing you some information on a promotion called Labour of Love, a special book promotion for the Labour Day Holiday
• I'll have the Introduction Post for that AWESOME feature I'll be announcing tomorrow.

And now, the books:
