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 Silly Little Mischief 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.
More snow; this time I got a quarter day at school out of it. It came down fast and hard; we got more than was originally forecast. Otherwise, it was a quiet week - editing, reading, and review writing. Oh, and a cold and an asthma flare. I can't complain too much; I don't get them as often or as severely as I used to but oh, they are not fun.

Odd, interesting, or funny search phrases leading to the blog: An interesting mix this week: "brave: ultimate target challenge", huh? "westward to strange", "devils images", "naughty romance novel excerpts", "hot romantic touch", "threesome", "catch a cat", "cats playing with paper towels", and "asthma & lung section" - as always, I'm pleased when people find my site when searching for asthma and I hope that what I've shared will be useful to them.

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.
That box from Entangled looks wonderful. I love the searches that led to your blog..LOL Let's hope for no snow, sunny skies and warm breezes. (ps-I linked you up)
ReplyDeleteIf you added me to your link, I should be there twice because I linked also.
DeleteOh, very cool Entangled goodie box. Congrats on your wins!
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun box and even my cat is enjoying it. :D
DeleteNice score from Entangled! They're so nice! :) I've reviewed a few Entangled YA books and they're usually pretty cool. :) My StS!
ReplyDeleteThere's no snow here in my country so i'm very envious lol. That Entangled goodies you got looks really cool :D
ReplyDelete- My Sunday Post
You had a great week! Have a wonderful Sunday!!
ReplyDeleteHere is my post
Another one who is impressed from your goody bag from Entangled, well done. Also, hope you feeling better now and it stays as a mild flare-up. My son suffered from childhood asthma and has completely grown out of it, it was scary from a parent's point, but he was too small to realise what's happening (I had a home inhaler machine for him). He is now 18 and didn't had any problems for 10 years.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your goodie box! That looks great! Never got one of those lol. Enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteFor us it looks like snow again next week **bangs head on desk..cries** I just want it to end already lol
Hope you are feeling better
Have a great week!!

More snow than expected is definitely not a good thing. We're having temps in the low 50's today but apparently it's not going to last and there's more snow in this week's forecast :(
ReplyDeleteYour goodie bag from Entangled looks great. Enjoy!
Have a great week!
Nice haul this week Bea. Enjoy your week.

Ooh, what nice swag from Entangled! And congrats on winning the cozy mystery -- I entered that contest, too, and I'm glad that if I didn't win it, it went to someone I know. That way, I'll get to read your review, too!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the cold and asthma flare. I hope you're feeling better.
Sweet package from Entangled. Enjoy your books, Bea. And I'm glad the asthma isn't too bad.
ReplyDeleteCinderella Screwed Me Over is a cool title! Why haven't I heard of this before?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books and happy reading! :)
I'm a bit late getting around this week. That package from Entangled is lovely! Hope you have a great week. :)
ReplyDeleteWhisper of Jasmine looks good, Bea. I hope you asthma flare will go away and you feel better this week, otherwise yay for a quiet reading time! :)
