I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by The Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews; Bought Borrowed and Bagged, hosted by TalkSupe; and Library Loot co-hosted by The Captive Reader and Silly Little Mischief. All of these memes are about sharing the print
and digital books received and/or posts and events on the blog.
I had several interviews this week and both were promising. I should know more next week. Today I'm going apple picking then I have to get busy making sugar scrubs, bath salts, and melt and pour soaps to sell at a flea market next Monday. What are your plans? Anything fun or exciting?

Did you add any books to your shelves or e-readers last week?Please leave a link to your Sunday Post so I can visit you during the week.
Good luck w/ the interview results, hope it all goes your way. Apple picking sounds fun, we spent a little time out and about today but the weather has just been nasty.
ReplyDeleteThe Turning Season looks interesting.
Oh, I remember fall days of apple picking...I can almost smell the delicious baked goods that come afterwards...thanks for sharing, and enjoy your week. And thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteTruth Be Told looks good, and I love picking apples. I had no idea you were so crafty..love the idea of scrubs and bath salts. Hmm, you need to teach us how!
ReplyDeleteI want to go apple picking too, but apple trees don't usually grow here in the Philippines. Too bad.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine:
My Week in a Wrapped #2

I got the Pets for Vets bundle too. I would love to have a review copy of The Turning Season.
ReplyDeleteTruth Be Told and The Turning Season both look good. I used to be crafty but now I can't seem to fin time for it. I miss it.
ReplyDeleteApple picking sounds like a lovely way to spend the day. And best of luck with your interviews:)
here is my Sunday Post - http://fuonlyknew.com/2014/10/05/whats-new-on-my-bookshelf-81-and-the-sunday-post/
You always have the oddest search terms! Good luck with your interviews! The bath salts and soaps sound lovely. I'd love to experiment with making my own. You got some interesting books this week! I'm especially curious about Happy Handmade Home. Kelly Armstrong has been on my authors to read list for awhile. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHot Rebel looks delicious... ;D I love the look of you blog. This is my first visit... Maybe I'll stick around a bit. ;)
ReplyDeleteOOh your freebies look really good. I think I might snag some of those freebies up for myself. Great stack of books this week.
ReplyDeleteGrace @ Books of Love
Ooh, apple-picking and making homemade soap, you are doing fun stuff! Have a good time with that! I am shaking my head over your search terms-- I never get strange ones like you did.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the new Hank Phillippi Ryan, lucky you! Have a good week.
Nice assortment of book, Bea. Enjoy all your weekend activities and the week beyond. Hope you'll be hearing some good news on the job front soon.

Good luck with the interviews!
ReplyDeleteYou have some interesting looking books in this week which I hope you enjoy. I'm curious about Otherworld Nights, and sorry to hear you had to wait so long to get confirmed to get it. Hope you have a great week.
Is SMeyer's UF/PNR series good? I always see it around but the covers doesn't seem GREAT READS to me you know... enjoy your new books and kick their asses on those interviews! A firm handshake and eye contact goes a long way, go Bea!! Woot! Woot!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of making the scrubs, salts and soaps. I should look into doing that this winter when I will hopefully be less busy. :) *fingers crossed* for good results from the interviews.
ReplyDeleteTruth be told looks good, hope you enjoy and have a good upcoming week.
ReplyDeleteOo yey and good luck at your interviews :D Making soaps and things sounds like fun but I can imagine it is hard work at times, but at least you'll have yummy apples ;-). Are you thinking you'll read Turning Season? I got it for consideration as well and am not really sure at all about it D:
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your interviews. Sounds like you are having some fun in this fall season. Turning Season looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteHave a good week!
Nice haul, Bea! I hope those interviews lead to a job. And yay for apple picking!
ReplyDeleteI have my fingers crossed for you Bea!

Apple picking sounds wonderful, and so do your flea market wares! And I've got my fingers crossed and prayers going up for good news on the job front.
ReplyDeleteYour new books look great! I didn't know Sharon Shinn had a contemporary paranormal series going - I'll have to check it out. (After I get around to reading Summers at Castle Auburn and some of her other fantasy works.)
