The Sunday Post Mailbox & Recap #12

The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. 
~this meme was inspired in part by - In My Mailbox~

It's a chance to share News. 

A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog. 

SQUEEEEE!!!! Tuesday is my surgery, so depending on how the week goes, there may or may not be a Sunday Post next week. Only two more days, I can hardly believe it. God, I hope it helps. Breathing is so damn useful. 

Did that previous paragraph give you deja vu? It was in last week's Sunday Post too but then the hospital called on Monday morning saying we needed to reschedule because they forgot a critical step. Grrr. So the new date is this Tuesday, the 31st. 

 

Anyway, though I only had 1 review this week, I had a cover reveal, 2 giveaways, an opinion piece and a bunch of news posts; InkWolf Press, Banned Books Week news, The UK Book Show.  

 

I also started my first feeelance editing job this week for a book that's being revised and re-released. Sorry, can't share yet, but I list all books I work on on this shelf on goodreads. NFR stands for Not For Review. The shelf also includes books put out by my publisher that I didn't work on but that I've read or own. I don't review their books in order to avoid a conflict of interest.

And on that note, I did have a great week for books. No. An AWESOME week for books. Yeah, awesome, that's the word. And I'm glad that the majority are ebooks or my bookshelves would be overcrowded again. As is, my goodreads TBR shelf is up to 581 books and I'm currently reading 2 books.

Bought

 

 

It arrived!!! Actually, they arrived. I accidentally ordered two copies from two different vendors. (hey, I was excited!) So, one copy is up for grabs. I enjoyed it, was a little disappointed, and I'm very sad the series is done. *cries*

 

 

I bought this book for one reason only: To support Ms. Kane. I read her comments at goodreads concerning the recent Asshat Author and his "list", and her posts on her blog. Smart, articulate, witty and unafraid to speak her mind. I now follow her on twitter too. If I like the book, great; if not, she still has my respect and my money. :)

 

 

I love the Newsflesh series so this was a must-buy. I haven't read it yet.

And now, the many books I bought from my publisher. They are having an ebook sale through the end of July and I stocked up.

Amazon loved me last week, with all of the books I bought. Though, I used gift cards; I'd been saving them and I'm glad I did. I still have some left, which is a delightful feeling.

Kindle Freebies

 

 

I purchased Darkhouse due to the author's comments in the Asshat Author GR thread. I have to say, as a result of that thread, I now have new books, new GR friends and new Twitter friends.  Still, I'd have preferred to have found them some other way.

 

Review Books 

 

 

I enjoy Karen Robards, she was a library find several years ago. Now with this book, she's adding some paranormal elements to her blend of romantic suspense. Many thanks to Random House for the digital galley. 

Wheeew! That's all. I did say I had an awesome book week. :D Leave a link to your sharing post in the comments and I'll try to come by and visit.
