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.
Wheee! I'm at Arisia! It's been a busy, fun weekend. Tomorrow, a friend and I are off to see a movie and have dinner. Now I need another three day weekend to recover. :D Laura Anne Gilman was supposed to be at Arisia, and I wanted to get books signed by her, but she had to cancel. :( Today, I'm hoping to get books signed by Tanya Huff. I chatted with her yesterday and she was both nice and funny.

I watched the first few minutes of BItten but I was to tired to stay awake to watch it lol. I will have to catch it on a replay. The commercials for it looks good.

Have a great week

Because reading is better than real life

ReplyDeleteSuzanne @ Chick with Books
Thanks for sharing, quite a bit to go through. Love the front cover with the dragon, though I haven't read it. Pegster.
ReplyDeleteOoh, love the look of Dirty Little Secrets! And I need to catch up on the J. D. Robb series...glad you had such a fun week! Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteSo envious - I haven't been to an SFF convention in decades! I hope you're having a marvelous time!
ReplyDeleteYour search terms always make me chuckle. (Mine are usually a bunch of variations on "Discovery of Witches movie" because of a post I did a while back. For some reason, it ranked high on Google and gets a lot of hits.)
I love J.D. Robb and I am so behind on that series..boo. Have a blast and I hope you got that autograph!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading! If you'd like, you can stop by my STS Following your blog and would love a follow back please :-)
ReplyDeleteNice haul!! I hope you enjoy your pretty books
ReplyDeleteCheck our STS of this week.

Great haul this week!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my STS
I was all about the premiere of Bitten this week, the book is one of my favorite werewolf books ever! Great book haul this week, you can't really go wrong with JD Robb :) Happy reading, my SP is over @Got Fiction Blog
ReplyDeleteI've been to Sci-Fi conventions, but I've never been to any book conventions. What is wrong with me?! *slaps forehead* Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAden looks good, hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteBitten looks interesting. I'm curious to see what they do with the books and how they are going to do it. I did like the first episode. Great haul of books. Bella Andre's The Sullivans is such a good series.
