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.
A new week! Last week good; both of my classes are doing well and I had a few nights where I didn't fall asleep on the couch. :D I also spent time last Sunday showing a friend how to use facebook and now she's having a blast. The weather has been cooling down, which I like, and it really feels like fall. I have an urge to go apple picking. :)

Odd or interesting search phrases leading to the blog: "all petals fall by sydney reece" - this is the third week in a row this has come up and I don't know why. It is put out by my publisher but I haven't featured the book or the author on here. Odd. "how to catch a cat" is still popular and I was pleased to see this new one, "cursed by s.j. harper review". That review has gotten a lot of comments, much more than my reviews usually do. :)

Whoa! Awesome book haul Bea! I see some kindle freebies I've picked up in the past. I borrowed the first Sirantha Jax book from my library's online e-book database. Kinda nervous about it but it seems interesting.

It was an awesome book week. :) I was hesitant about reading the Jax books and now I love them. I hope you'll like them!
DeleteI have to read on Robb's books, I stopped at the start of In Death even though I quite liked them.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
My haul
I have only read the first two In Death books...I plan to resume reading them soon, so I can enjoy these later books that are tempting me!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week....and thanks for visiting my blog.
You always have some amazing books. I see lots of books that are new to me in your pile. Come visit me as well.

haha I know. I am in the minority for actually wanting jury duty. I just thought it would be the perfect time for me to sit on a jury and get to watch a trial since I don't have a job yet. But I guess when you want it you don't get picked. That would be too easy haha!
ReplyDeleteGreat books this week. You have lots of great ones to pick from
Happy Reading!

Killbox looks good! I love apple picking, it is so peaceful and I love the smells of autumn.
ReplyDeleteI have to get back to the J.D. Robb series. I think I read the first three. Eventually I will get to them. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOh no, you turned your friend over to the evils of Facebook! :D Great haul, Bea.
ReplyDeleteNice haul. Yay for the cooler weather, it has been that way here too, and I am all for it. :)
ReplyDeleteI found some good freebies this week too. Here is mine: The Big Book Binge
ReplyDeleteEeep! You bought Tranquility's Blaze!!! :D I so love that series. :) Hope you enjoy it. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteApples! Oh, I haven't been apple picking since my daughter was little. Hmm... Might have to run out to the berry/apple farm one of these days.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some terrific-looking books there. I really like the cover of Tempt the Stars; it's got me intrigued.
Glad your classes are going well. Have a great week!
