Hey guys! How has your week been?

I have been busy and tired and trying my hardest not to get sick. I want a vacation. haha But I have also been trying to cut down on my amount of review books. My calendar is looking pretty full for the summer. And I know that I still need to go back and add a bunch more review books to my schedule, so yea this week I took in less books than usual, and I was pretty pleased about that.

I am also reviving an old project that I had where I provide authors and publishers with a list of book bloggers that are looking for book to review. (Its not a tour company or any kind of paid service, it is just a read-only form that I provide to people that send me review requests)

If you would like more information on that, or if you are a book blogger looking for books to review, you can check out this post.

^^^ Yes, I know that is what I said last week, but holy cow I don’t even know where this week has gone. I feel like I went into work monday…stayed there all week and now it is the weekend. So everything I said before still holds true. Mostly….I want a vacation!

Books I got this week:

*Thank you so much to St. Martin’s Press, Macmillian, Big Honcho Media, Disney-Hyperion, HMH Books for Young Readers, Simon Pulse, and all of the authors for these awesome books! *

(Click on the book covers to go to the book goodreads/amazon page)

You are doing awesome with Clean Sweep. A Vacation sounds wonderful. I think it is great you provide a list to publishers/authors. Hope this week you can surpass your goals, and maybe feel like you left the office once in a while.

Great haul this week! Every Last Word is one that I can’t wait for because it sounds absolutely fantastic. I love Tamara Ireland Stone’s writing style. I recently read Charlie, Presumed Dead and it was a whirlwind of a read. Happy reading! 🙂

I am so ready for summer! I’m so behind on my reading and it is so sad! I need a vacation too but that won’t happen until July so until then..I’m hanging in there. 😛

You got a lot of amazing books, congrats!! And I hope you feel better and don’t get sick because being sick when it is warm outside if just wrong. 😛
