I'm back! Last week I missed because I was just too damn sick. The asthma flare that I've been battling since before Christmas was complicated by first, a sinus infection, and second, by an allergic reaction to the antibiotic for the sinus infection. When my body decides to have a temper tantrum, it goes all out. It's only been in the past couple days that I'm feeling better and seeing improvement. Another week or two and I just might be healthy again, or reasonably close to it.
So, this post is a recap of the past couple weeks. In the past few days, I finished several books and you will actually see some reviews soon! On Monday, I'll post a review of a romance novella, "How to Misbehave" by Ruthie Knox; the short version - wonderful!
The Weeks in Review:
Cover Reveal: The Dragon Empire by Heather McCorkle
Excerpts: Edge of the Past by Jennifer Comeaux
Interview: Romance Author Wendy Vella
Spotlights: Dragonthology, an anthology of dragon stories
Giveaways: $25 Paypal or Amazon Gift Card
BOOKS

This was recommended to me by author Morgan Ashbury when she saw I was looking for new romantic suspense to try.
Kindle Freebies
Review - PDF
I'm reviewing this next month for a blog tour. The book also counts for all of my reading challenges this year, woo hoo! (Now that I think about it, I'll have to double check and see if PDF's count for the ebook challenge.)
Review - Print
I had to laugh when the postman delivered the hardcover yesterday - I already have the ARC. Apparently, they really want me to review this book. :D I'll give away one, or maybe both, copies when I post my review. Or, if you're dying to read it and willing to review it, email me and I'll send along the hardcover and share the book love.
That's it, the past two weeks on the blog. How were your weeks? Leave me a link in your comment and I'll stop by.
Between looks interesting as well as Blood and Oranges. Baked Alaska looks like a poison mystery?? I really hope you will be on the mend 100%. Take care!
ReplyDeleteThey all look so good, it's hard to restrain myself from starting all of them right now.
DeleteJeez, I hope you feel better. Nice haul. Have a great Sunday.

ReplyDeleteMore like still, since this started before Christmas. Thanks Kimba :)
DeleteMuch cover love for The Ambassador's Wife. I am checking it out on Goodreads now. Love the time period and setting. Great variety of books this week. enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThe cover on my ARC is similar to the one pictured, same background, almost identical pose but different clothes and angle. I like it better.
DeleteI hear you; I really shouldn't have signed up but the book looked so good I couldn't pass it up.
ReplyDeleteI am happy you're feeling better and that you had a wonderful book/blog week :)
ReplyDeleteFrozen by Waterson looks pretty cool..lol..Frozen looks cool..
I have picked out books with similar style covers and have never been unhappy with the book.
I followed you via GFC :)
Have a wonderful week ahead and hope you continue to feel even better..
What's on Bella's Shelf?
LOL It does look cool :D I'll probably like it; the author who suggested it, she and I have been friends for years and she knows what I like. Welcome to the Nook!
DeleteDang I ran over so quick to see if Wait for me was still free!! I missed it. *sad face*. I love romantic suspense so let me know how Frozen is. Enjoy your books Bea!
ReplyDeleteI've had that happen many times when reading someone's Sunday Post. I'm sorry it wasn't still available.
DeleteThe Jenoff book looks good, so I have to go and check it out :D
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
Thanks :)
DeleteDying to read Blood Oranges and Between, Bea! You have an awesome haul this week. I'm also really glad you've started feeling better. Hope everything go smoothly from no on, girl. You need a break! *huggles*
