Last Week on Melissa's Midnight Musings:

(Click Links to be taken directly to the posts)

• I reviewed Breaking Dawn by Stephenie Meyer. I finally finished the series, but I have to admit this fell flat.
• Author Sally Smith O'Rourke stopped by to do a Guest Post and Giveaway for her two Jane Austen inspired books. This giveaway is INTERNATIONAL
• I reviewed Audrey's Guide to Witchcraft by Jody Gehrman. If you haven't read this book yet, you definitely should!
• I wished everyone a Happy Halloween/Samhain/All Hallows Eve/Wednesday
• I posted a Giveaway for Ghosts of Nagasaki by Daniel Clausen. The giveaway is INTERNATIONAL
• In my Behind the Blog post, I talked about Fireworks
• I reviewed Sebastian's Poet by Kevin Craig, which is a very powerful read.
• I announced the winners of the giveaways for Unforeseen by Lauren Grimley and the It's All in the Numbers giveaway.

It's been another jam packed week on the blog and the upcoming week is just as busy!

Coming Up This Week:

• Review of Twelve Months by Steven Manchester
• Review of Anthology I: The Other Side by Hamidah Gul
• There will be a book promo. It's under wraps until later this week though so I can't give more detail than that, you'll just have to wait and see!
• I also have a fun little project that I want to take on to spread some holiday cheer, so I hope you guys'll stop by for that.
• Behind the Blog: This week's topic is Mental Health Here's the prompt for anyone who'd like to join up with BTB :  Unfortunately, in this day and age, there are still a lot of problems surrounding mental health. A large amount of the population are under-educated and ill-advised about mental illnesses and can often make some situations worse. Mental health is something that affects a large proportion of society but many will be too ashamed or worried to seek help because they fear their peers will not understand what is happening. So this week, to help support everyone with a mental illness, we’re asking you to talk about the subject in relation to your life. How has it affected you or your loved ones?  In relation to media, are there any books or films that you feel highlight specific mental illnesses well or seem to damage their reputation?

So, as you can see, it's going to be another jam packed week here at Melissa's Midnight Musings. I hope you'll all stop by and check out these great posts I have lined up.

Fun Search Terms:

Since there were some interesting search terms that helped people find this blog this week I thought I'd share a few:

"calories in tim horton's cherry chee" I'm guessing they wanted to know the number of calories in a Tim Horton's Cherry Cheese Danish. I don't know, and honestly I don't care because they're just too good.

Charmed Cole sex I do talk about Charmed a lot on this blog but I have never mentioned Charmed in relation to sex, I'm pretty sure.
