I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; 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.
We had another heat wave last week and I still don't have A/C. My condo is a sauna; it's one way to lose weight. I was also busy editing and trying to read some review books. Still, it was a good week and there's only one month left before school closes for a week and then we start the new year. We got our assignments for next year and I got the classroom I requested. :) I'll be with the ones and twos again; it's such a fun age.

It was a week for doubles. I already had a print ARC of Omens and this week I received a finished hardcover. Muscle Media sent me two ARCS of Three Little Words; I'll be giving one away.

I hope you're cool, wherever you are. Leave a link and I'll come visit during the week.
Oh man, heat wave with no AC... I've been there. Hope it cools of for you. Those look like some great books. I need to try that series by Kate Daniels.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's not fun. Ice cream helps and lots and lots of fans.
DeleteThe Kate Daniels books are good and I love the use of mythologies from around the world.
OMG, Bea! I absolutely adore the cover for Pile of Bones. Need to check this book out, I know nothing about it :) Beautiful book haul, and I really hope it will cool down and you feel better next week. Happy reading, girlie!
ReplyDeleteDang, if you loved closer we could share. :(
DeleteToday is already cooler, hallelujah!
Happy reading!
NO AC!!! UGH! That's awful, the heat has been nasty! Great pile of books you have this week! I love the covers of Pile Of Bones, and Magic Rises cover seems weird without the original girl, since this model seems so young. Have a "cooler" week, temps should be lower this week :)
ReplyDeleteYou know, I wondered if that was a different model on Magic Rises.
DeleteToday is already cooler and I've turned off one fan. :)
Pile of Bones and Magic Rises sound great, I hope you enjoy them and the others :)
ReplyDeleteMy haul

ReplyDeletePile of Bones does seem interesting; I hope it'll be good.
DeleteBoo, still no ac!. I do love your haul though. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jenea, happy reading to you also!
DeleteLovely book haul! Rock Point draws me in...enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY SUNDAY UPDATES/MAILBOX MONDAY POST
Thanks. I hope I'll like Rock Point as Neggers tends to be hit or miss for me.
DeleteI don't know how you made it with no A/C! Glad you made it through, though. Awesome haul! Enjoy :)

I'm with you on the heat, too hot. Looks like you have a great week planned and some really awesome books to read. Hopefully the A/C will work soon and you can enjoy some coolness. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :)
DeleteYou are the second person I've seen that is or has reviewed Audible. Are they reaching out to people?
ReplyDeleteEven though it's not Christmas, I'm excited for that Christmas book cover reveal! I love holiday books! :D
Jennifer @ The Bawdy Book Blog
They reached out to me to request a review so I'd say yes, they are actively seeking reviews.
DeleteThe cover reveal is tomorrow so come on back!
Ooh, Pile of Bones looks interesting!
ReplyDeleteLisa @ Just Another Rabid Reader

You are always so busy here Bea!! Super jealous of Magic Rises, I'll have to get it from the book Depository as it isn't in stores in Aus!! Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting my StS and Sunday Post!
Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
No AC? Oh, I hope it's fixed soon! Your new books look wonderful. I'm looking forward to your review of King Arthur: Dragon's Child -- just the title gets this Arthurian fan's interest stirring.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Sunday Post yesterday! Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner; we were out of town all day and only got back at 3:00 a.m.
