Inspired by Celine from Nyx Book Reviews, I've decided to combine several weekly wrap-up memes into one post. Showcase Sunday is hosted by Vicky at Books, Biscuits and Tea. Stacking the Shelves is hosted at Tynga's Reviews, and Sunday Post is hosted at Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Letterbox Love is a special British book-haul meme hosted by Lindsey at Narratively Speaking.
Last Week:
So, last week on the blog has been a special Blogoversary Week, with posts about me and the things I love, including a guest post and an interview with two favourite authors. Here's what's been happening:

New Goodies:
Any Other Name, by Emma Newman
(I'm SO excited about this one)
Thank you to Angry Robot and NetGalley for the review copy
The Red Knight, by K.T. Davies
I've already reviewed this one on the blog and it was one of
my favourites. The author has kindly sent me some copies for
a giveaway, so watch out for that soon!
And, she included a signed copy for me. Thank you so much! :-D
So, how was your week and what have you been reading? Were any of you taking part in Dewey's 24hr Read-a-thon? How did it go? :-)
Signed books are the biz, aren't they? I'm new to both of these authors, though, so thanks for the intro. Have a great Sunday and thanks for dropping by the blog. :D

ReplyDeleteWell now I have most of those posts open telling me to read them, MANY TABS! Also, lovely books! Angry Robot seem to hate me, have never been accepted by them. Maybe I should review some stuff on NetGalley :D
ReplyDeleteGreat haul! Any Other Name looks great! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteAny Other Name has a lovely cover, and ooh I loved signed books, so glad you enjoyed it. I solemnly swear I am joining the next Dewey read-a-thon..it sounds like fun! The Sunday Post
ReplyDeleteOh, there is something about a signed book that just gives me tingles! Congrats for your books this week - fun reading ahead methinks! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love the cover of the first book!! Happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteHere's my STS
Signed books are really special. I still have three paperbacks signed for me by Anne McCaffery somewhere around 1980. I had to go buy another set to read, so I wouldn't mess them up too much!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your new books -- Any Other Name has a great cover!
