Sunday Book Share #65



 I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews, and Library Loot co-hosted by The Captive Reader and The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader that encourages bloggers to share the books they’ve checked out from the library. All of these memes give book bloggers the chance to share print and digital books they've received, and posts and events at their blogs.

I could get used to working two days but getting paid for five. This week it's back to the regular five day work week. I also finished up an editing project and returned it to the author. Thanksgiving was good; I spent it with friends. I did NOT go out on Black Friday; I did that once and that was enough. :D I hope you all had a good week. I finally came out of my review writing slump as you can see by the reviews I posted last week. :D

 The Week In Review






Odd, interesting, or funny search phrases leading to the blog: "threesome" and "sweetheart quotes for her" are back and there are a bunch of new ones: "how sweet it is by melissa brayden review", "nora roberts/2013 releases", "2014 best book challenge", "2014 urban fantasy reading challenge" (if you know of someone hosting this one, please link in the comments!), "all petals fall by sydney reece", and "snoopy dance animated gif".

    I am not a Black Friday shopper either. I tried about 5 years ago, and that was more than enough for me. Too many people pushing and shoving to get stuff. lol Hope you enjoy all the new books. :)

    I stay far away from stores for the entire Black Friday weekend. I'm just not into crowds fighting each over for a bargain. LOL Cyber Monday is more my speed :)

    Have a great week!

    No Black Friday for me. No way, no how. We stayed home and decorated. :)

    I picked up The Beast Curse last week. I'm hoping to read it this month. Enjoy that awesome book haul. :)

    Yeah, I didn't go out on Black Friday either. I found better deals online for the things I wanted to get, anyway. Enjoy your books, Bea!
