Hey guys! How has your week been?
I just got back from a wonderful vacation. We went hiking, white water rafting, to breweries and wineries. It was really great. But now it is back to real life. I have been super busy with work and getting ready to go away, and whenever I take some time off things all seem to pile up when I get back. It will probably take me a few days to get my bears back and to reply to emails and all of that.
I have also had a few people email me about books that they have won. If you have won a physical book from my site, don’t worry- it is coming to you. I have them all packaged up and ready to go, but I have just not had a chance to get to the post office.
I am hoping to get them all mailed out this week. I’m sorry for the delay, but they will be sent to you shortly. I will email you when they are in the mail. Thank you everyone for being patient with me.
Book wise, I tried to keep a rein in on new review books. I want to read more than I take in at least 3 out of 4 weeks each month. This week was a plus. I read 7 or 8 books and took in 5.
Books I got this week:
*Thank you so much to Macmillan, Entangled Bliss, Carina Press, NetGalley, and all of the authors for these awesome books! *

Congrats on all the great books and I am so glad you had a nice vacation. I always say that I need a vacation from the vacation because by the time you get home there is so much you need to now do to get caught up you almost need another vaca. 😉

Sounds like you had a great vacation! Although work indeed always seem to pile up when you take some time off, that’s sad as it feels you always have to work extra hard after a vacation to get abck on track. I hope you get caught up soon!
Have a great week!

Looks like great vacations to me ! Alas, catching up on work when we come back is very tiresome. I hope it’ll slown down soon for you. Have a great reading week !
Berls @ Fantasy is More Fun
Sounds like a great vacation – I’m a weebit jealous 😉 You have some great looking reads there and congrats on taking in less than you read, that’s a huge accomplishment in my book! Hope you’re having a great week 🙂
Rachel @ Paper Cuts
I’m glad you had a great vacation! It really is hard to get back into things after (hence why I’m still catching up on comments!). 🙂 I’m really curious about Playing With Her Heart–and can’t resist free! I hope you’re having a great week Michelle!
