I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews, and Library Loot co-hosted by The Captive Reader and The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader that
encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the
library. All of these memes give book bloggers the chance to share print
and digital books
they've received, and posts and events at their blogs.
After several weeks of working partial weeks, I put in a regular five day week at work and it felt odd. Real life is tough sometimes, lol. I had a good week overall despite the below freezing temps. This coming weekend I'll be attending Arisia and I'm looking forward to it. I hope to get books signed by Laura Anne Gilman and Tanya Huff.

Odd, interesting, or funny search phrases leading to the blog: "cods/tongues" - from an author's guest post, I think; "cookie titles", and the still popular "threesome" and "how to catch a cat"

Did you add any books to your shelves or e-readers last week? Leave a link to your Sunday Post so I can visit you during the week.
I love the cover of the girl with the cat tattoo..LOL I worked one day over the holidays and going back this week quite frankly sucked hopefully the return of normal won't be so painful next week. Have a good one my friend!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it cute? This week is another five day week then next week is four days thanks to a three day weekend. :) I am ready, lol.
DeleteGoing back to 5 day weeks is hard after short weeks. Always hate that. Arisia looks fun, enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy all your books. :)
ReplyDeleteA lot of cute books, Bea! And I'm glad your week went fine despite the freezing cold! Hope you stay warm and enjoy all your new books. *huge hugs*
ReplyDeleteGetting back to work after the holiday's is such a drag! January is a really slow time where I work, so the days drag most of the month which doesn't help.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning all that swag. I know I can always use more bookmarks.
Great haul! I love that cover for In The Dark. I hope you enjoy all of your books :) My STS.
ReplyDeleteExcellent haul, Bea! Blue Moon Over Bliss Lake--what a great title! My Sunday post: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2014/01/sundays-weekly-book-recap-49.html
