Sunday Book Share #71

 

 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.

After several weeks of working partial weeks, I put in a regular five day week at work and it felt odd. Real life is tough sometimes, lol. I had a good week overall despite the below freezing temps. This coming weekend I'll be attending Arisia and I'm looking forward to it. I hope to get books signed by Laura Anne Gilman and Tanya Huff.

The Week In Review

 

Odd, interesting, or funny search phrases leading to the blog: "cods/tongues" - from an author's guest post, I think; "cookie titles", and the still popular "threesome" and "how to catch a cat"

    Getting back to work after the holiday's is such a drag! January is a really slow time where I work, so the days drag most of the month which doesn't help.

    Congrats on winning all that swag. I know I can always use more bookmarks.

    I didn't like putting that full week in, at all. I don't want to do all the holiday running either. lol. I'd love to have a four day work week with Wed, Sat, and Sun off. ;)

    Going back to work after a vacation is always tough, but at least you have Arisia to look forward to! [mild envy here] I hope you can get your books signed. You are going to report on the conference, aren't you? With pictures? PLEASE? :-)

    Nice haul this week, too -- what fun that you won several things! Enjoy your new books.
