Last week was better I'm happy to say. Still no A/C or new job but a nice week nonetheless. Friday night, I went out for dinner with several friends for our annual joint birthday celebration. I'm in April and they're both in June so we usually celebrate in the summer. One friend gave me a plate I had admired at a store we were browsing in earlier in the day (she was quite sneaky and managed to buy it without my seeing). It's part of a set and I want the whole set. Yes, I'm a word nerd. :P

Odd, interesting, or funny search phrases leading to the blog: Some new ones! "are there going to be any more iron fey books", "images about she lit the match quotes", and "the devil in hell". Where else would the devil be? :D "threesome" made a reappearance after taking a break for a few weeks. :D

A smallish week last week, which is fine with me. I did fail with the review books though. I got an email from NetGalley saying I was pre-approved and I succumbed. :) I also got two in for blog tours.

Did you add any books to your shelves or e-readers last week? Leave a link to your Sunday Post so I can visit you during the week.
Oh, I love those plates!
ReplyDeleteAnd I am going to add the Marcia Clark books...I've been curious.
Thanks for visiting my blog, and enjoy your week. Hope you get A/C soon!
Aren't those plates great? I as so excited and surprised when my friend gave me one. :)
DeleteI have high hopes for the Clark books. Let's hope they are good!
Sorry to hear about the no AC. It can be a nightmare to fix stuff. I have to fix an oil leak in my car soon. UGHH. The thinking woman's guide to real magic looks good!!
ReplyDeleteThose plates are very nice. Very unique.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week Bea and thanks for visiting my blog.
Sharon @ Sharon's Book Nook!
Smallish weeks can be good... I've been curious about the McGuire books... The Thinking Woman's Guide is supposed to be good too.
ReplyDeleteStay cool!
Oh I love the plate and set. I am a nerd and nerds are cool, so I hope you get the set. Guilt by Association looks good. Enjoy and I hope both the A/C and job situation look up!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your week was better. And what a sneaky good friend! :)
ReplyDeleteNice plate, hope you manage to get them all. And that the A/C is finally fixed ! Have a great week ;)
ReplyDeleteInteresting plate and set! They look really cool! Have a great week ahead!
ReplyDeleteMichelle
I love that plate, it is so nice to catch up with friends, and I always remind myself should do it more often.
ReplyDeletePeggy @ The Pegster Reads
Those place are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a good Birthday celebration :)
Have a good week!
I enjoyed Thinking Woman's Guide. I loved the prose. I got a bunch of new books last week - from publishers. I wanted to know what happened in a series so I joined Audible and in the free trial got Rude Awakenings and Written in my Own Heart's Blood. I needed some new audios to work with but WIMOHB is 45 hours long. And delicious!
ReplyDeletePre-approval on NetGalley is my downfall! SO many books, so little time!
ReplyDeleteGrea haul, and I love the plate!
Cora @ Tea Party Princess
No A/C I would die! Lol my family yells at me because I keep the house so cold in the summer and the windows open in the winter. I can't help it I like the cold. I hope they fix it for you soon!
ReplyDeleteI love the plate and I love the mugs. I have so many coffee mugs but I keep buying them. Those are super cute!
Enjoy your new reads!
Have a great week Bea!!!
Those plates are awesome. No A/C. I would die if that was the case. I see that you got the Shannon Stacey book. Love her books. Net Galley is bad for me and I'm trying next month to avoid it.

I'm glad you had a nice week. Love those plates. I've been trying so hard to stay away from Netgalley and then I saw the pre-approved email about the Marcia Clark books and I was done. LOL
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I haven't read Marcia Clark but am intrigued. Enjoy your new books!

ReplyDeleteSuch cute plates! Something tells me you won't be using them, though ;)
ReplyDeleteThose plates are really awesome. So are your new books. Enjoy! Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteBelated happy birthday! Nice assortment of books too. I downloaded Guilt by Association this week too. I thought I'd try it before getting any of the others by Clark. Come see what I got this week at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
