I'm participating in Feed My Reader Friday hosted by I Am A Reader, Not A Writer, The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer, and Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews. These memes allow book bloggers the chance to share print and digital books
they've received, and different posts and events at their blogs.
The first week of May; I can not believe it. The year is galloping away from me. We're already working on end of the year conferences at school. Since one of our functions is as a daycare center, we're open year round but we offer a year end conference for all children every spring and summer. Before I know it, we'll be getting our year end reviews, whimper.
The Week In Review
Interviews: Mystery Author Victoria Hamilton

Meg the Egg by Rita Borg (am I the only one who thinks of ST:TNG when they see 'Borg'? :D)

Odd and interesting phrases that led to the blog: "how to catch a cat" remains popular; "asthma real lung" made me smile; "mad scientist" mwahahahaha
Clean Sweep ARC Challenge: 2 down so far :) Summer in Napa and Stuck in the Doldrums: A Lesson in Sharing. Now I'm reading Playing Hooky, review up tomorrow.
Awesome Link: I stumbled across a site where you can sign up, after paying a fee, to have your
OWN STAR TREK EMAIL ADDRESS!!!! *dies of the want* <3 I am such a ST geek, it's absurd. I want this, despite the fee and the hassle of changing email addresses. It might be worth it just so I can say I have a Star Trek email. Oooo, I could use it as a junk mail addy so my regular inbox is not so full. Hmm..

Razing Kayne looks yummy. Woot on 2 books down. Are you doing the summer tour for Andre too? I am hoping they are good. Have a great week Bea! The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteOh, The Blasphemer looks very interesting, Bea! Fab beginning of Clean Sweep for you, darling! I haven't even started mine yet. :) Happy Sunday and enjoy all your reads!
ReplyDeleteI'm very curious Bella Andre's books. I've see her books around a lot, but I've never read one. I'll have to check her books out.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your goodies and happy reading :)
$15.00 isn't bad for a @starfleet.com email!!! Of course I'm dropping $ left and right these days to fix my blog so I'm a little numb right now :) And it's not like you'd have to "switch" anything, just use it for personal email, to keep family separate from all your subscriptions ;)
ReplyDeleteNice haul this week!! BTW - LOVING so much the look of your blog!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so pretty I just want to pet it, you know, like a book cover!! Yes, I know I'm weird!!
Have a great week!!!
Great haul. Enjoy them all. Thanks for stopping by earlier.

Looks like you have some steamy romance coming up! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThis year is going so quick, I agree! Can't believe it's already May.
ReplyDeleteYou got some intriguing looking books this week. Razing Kayne looks fun. :-) Hope you enjoy!
Very nice haul. I grabbed Delicate Freakin Flower too :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Look of Love sounds good and hope you enjoy

I have been wanting to read Bella Andre's books for the longest time, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I do have a few of her books on my Kindle.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Good luck with the daycare review! That's so funny about the Star Trek email. I'm almost tempted to get one. And you have a great haul!
ReplyDeleteIt really is hard to believe it's May -- not only May but already almost a week in!
ReplyDeleteThe ST email address is incredibly tempting. Only two things are holding me back. One, I don't need another email address right now. And two, if I'm going to spend any money on internet stuff, it should probably be on blog design.
I've read Delicate Freakin Flower... was a fun read!! Looks like you are having another super busy week!! Have fun ;)
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting my StS and Sunday Post!
