I am combining two great blog hops: Stacking The Shelves (a Saturday feature by Team Tynga's Reviews), and Sunday Post (a Sunday feature by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer). Both of these features give people a chance to post about what books they received and also an opportunity to catch a glimpse of what others are excited about. I really enjoy see everyone's version of these features! If you enjoy my blog, please consider following me via Bloglovin, Networked Blogs, GFC, or by email subscription. If you leave a comment and tell me you are a new follower, I will follow you back! As always, all book cover images are linked to GoodReads so if you see a book you want to learn more about, just click away...
On The Blog:
It's been a rather slow week on the blog. Work is starting soon so I am using this week to power through a bunch of ARCs I need to read (and review). Plus, with the awful events happening in this country (and around the world), I'm having a tough time putting so much energy in a book blog. As most of you are also bloggers, you know how much effort it is to generate content. But when I'm worried about things, it is so hard to put it all aside and write.
Monday: Bay Area Book Events # 59
Tuesday: ARC Review: The Mountain by Paul Yoon
In "Real Life":
I've read some fun books this week, but also some lame ones. I started a fantasy series that many people I know love, but I could only get through two chapters before realizing I didn't like it. I'm bummed, but also relieved. I really wanted to like these books, but the writing was terrible (show, not tell, people!). I was relieved because now I have more time to read books I'm excited about. Speaking of which...
New Books:
Edelweiss:
Amazingly, I got approved for these books by Edelweiss. I have had a hard time getting approvals from this ARC service, so I am pleased as punch to get any approvals. But when I opened the email showing I got to read One Dark Throne, I actually squealed! I can't wait to read this!!!
I'm already half finished with They Both Die At The End. It truly is wonderful and got me crying already. It's a powerful reminder that we don't know how much time we have on this earth, so we need to make the most of every day.
Let me know what you are reading, and doing, right now, and I will try to be better at responding to each post. I hope everyone is safe, and having a wonderful summer. Hugs...
