You are doing great with COYER! You guys are totally blowing me away Lol.
It really is nice to be ahead. I ahead on posts and some reviews I am getting very happy about it and it makes it so much easier to read and come up with original content 🙂
You have an overflow of new books!!! Good for you!!! 🙂 Enjoy them all
Have a great week, Michelle!

I have had up to two weeks scheduled in the past but then I have had a vacation or something and it slips away. Now I am sometimes two days ahead. Woo Hoo! I would like to be farther but it means I have to get more guest posts.
Jenna @ Rather Be Reading YA
A review cushion is so nice to have. What I do is get ahead then stop writing reviews or posts of any kind and my cushion disappears. Don’t let this happen to you! 😀
I’ll be watching for your review of Crossing the Ice. I love figure skating and looked into that author’s books during the Olympics this year, but then I never got around to actually reading them. I still want to though. I’m adding Game Changer to my TBR too.

Wow you got a lot of great books this week, look at them all! Kind of like Christmas. 😉
I love the review )blog post) cushion! I think when I start to get low is when I start to get uneasy and panic. I hate only have a couple of posts prescheduled.I like to be at least two weeks ahead, it makes me feel better for some reason.
Katherine @ I Wish I Lived in a Library
Congratulations on getting your review cushion! I want to develop one but it seems like as soon as I do life gets in the way and I end up not consistently adding to it which means bye bye cushion! Great books this week! Hope you enjoy them and have a great week!
Kristin
I’ve been wanting to read These Broken Stars for a long time now. I hope you enjoy all your new books. You sure do have a lot of reading ahead of you.

Gates of Thread and Stone looks interesting. Wahoo for that review cushion, it really makes blogging, reviewing, socializing, life and reading more enjoyable and stress free!
Rachel @ Paper Cuts
I would love to have a review cushion! I’ve been formatting posts ahead of time, but I’m never quite ahead enough to get ahead of my reading. Maybe soon! 🙂
I’m really excited to read Gates of Thread and Stone, because it sounds so cool, and look at the Harper pretties! I am absolutely dying to get to The Jewel, The Perilous Sea, and Illusions of Fate. 🙂
I hope you love all of these and have a great week!
Christy
Yay for buffers. I’m trying to make a big one with my reviews. I can’t wait to read Illusions of Fate.
Berls @ Fantasy is More Fun
You’re doing fantastic with COYER! I’ve only done 11 reviews and have like 3 more scheduled at most. So you’re kicking my butt 🙂 Congrats on being ahead, I’m a little ahead right now too and it’s a fantastic feeling!
Bea @Bea's Book Nook
YAY for review cushion. I need that, lol. Good for you.
Look at that book haul, you had a fantastic week!
Fiza @ I'll Read Till I Drop
I didn’t have an exciting week either…unless you count sleep as exciting -_-
But look at your new books, I think I’m kind of jealous 😛
Andrea @ The Bookish Babe
Oh wow, you for so many awesome looking books! Indiscretion looks really good, and I’m super excited to read Boomerang.
Enjoy your books, Michelle, and that cushion!
Heidi
I know what you mean about a review cushion I had one until summer came and everything got crazy and sad when I lost my dog. Now I am scraping by. Hope to get ahead again soon. You got some many lovely books up there I don’t even know where to start. I hope you find a few gems in there.
Reviews from a Bookworm
WOW! Now that is one amazing ARC collection you got, so many books I am excited to get to. I have eARCs of a few and plan to get to them soon. The Jewel has such a brilliant cover, I hope I end up loving the book. I also love the look of Illusions of Fate, and am really impressed with the cover for that one. I hope you enjoy all of your books this week 🙂 Here’s my STS.
Vicky @ Books, Biscuits, and Tea
I’ve heard great things about The Book of Life!
