Ramblings and the Week to Come 16FEB14

Giveaway Over:
In January, I started a giveaway for Elizabeth Scott's new release Heartbeat. This concluded last week with Mickie winning; the book has been ordered and shipped.

Week Highlight:
Last week, I posted a review for Courtney C Stevens' debut Faking Normal, giving it a perfect 5 out of 5. I was completely blown away by this contemporary debut and highly recommend it for those who can handle some darker subject matter. It comes out later this month so there's time to get it ordered :)
Ramblings:
I'm so excited that softball is starting up again this week (though y'all might not be because it means I'll be talking about it a lot ;) We're playing on a new field in our town and the other teams have super fun names (one references Dr Who) so I'm hoping for a good season. Work continues to pile up with some potentially big changes to come; I'm just looking forward to being done with this season's work and can see the finish line. I am hoping that March will be a better reading month for me as so far February has been the worst month since I started keeping track. I'm so far behind on my reading goal and Goodreads keeps scolding me reproachfully, or at least that's kind of what it feels like.

Week to Come:
I'm expecting to post reviews of Death Sworn and The Winner's Curse as well as hopefully Ask Again Later. Wednesday will showcase a book I'm waiting upon.

What's up in your corner of the world?

  5. I had a fabulous reading week last week with 2 five star reads and reviewed 3 favourites for the year. Love it when that happens. Added Faking Normal to my must read list. All the best for a great season of softball and enjoy your new reads :)

    1. I'm glad you're going to check it out-it continues to rack up the good reviews and I think it's going to be quite a hit among those in the know at least.

  7. Definitely have Faking Normal on the TBR. I've seen it compared to Speak, so I've got to read it!
    Ha -- it's hard to think of softball here when we're buried in snow. But have fun :)

    1. An apt comparison! I'm so blessed to live in an area with such good weather that we can play softball already.
