Grace @ Books of Love
I can’t wait to read all your blogging on a time crunch posts! I’ve been saving them in my Feedly all week for when I had time this weekend to read them 🙂
What an AWESOME HAUL! Holy smokes!!! The Bourbon Kinds I am DYINNGGGG to read, I can’t wait till release day 🙂 Daughter of Deep Silence sounds amazing too. Catacomb has a terrifying cover, woww haha.
I hope you enjoy all your books and have a great week ahead 🙂
Ooooohhhhh!!! Ash & Bramble is one I cannot wait to read!! Love fairy tales! Which Dead Upon a Time was sort of like! It fits into that genre anyway! It was a rather short read that I managed in a day! I still need to read Roux’s Asylum! Heard it was good and that there were pictures! Hoping those show on my poorly outdated kindle! The first thing on my list to buy once I get a new job is the kindle voyage! Unless I can somehow swing it before…
Happy Reading!
Thanks for visiting my STS!
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
You Know, Jessica, it is so funny/not funny that you mention your old kindle. because my kindle is dying!! I have the old kindle with keyboard and I love it so much but it has froze/died twice in the past 4 days so I am starting to think I need a new one, and I don’t know if I should get the new paperwhite or voyage. What are the differences?
I am also super worried about transferring all my books from my old one to the new one. Not the ones I bought on amazon itself, but rather the hundreds and maybe thousands that I have been emailed directly to the kindle from authors/publisher/netgalley. Do you know how a transfer of those works?
I guess the best way to compare Voyage and Paperwhite is to look at the chart thingy Amazon has that compares those two as well as the standard kindle. I think the thing I liked about Voyage was (despite it being advertised as the best ereader for readers) is something to do with a light sensor and basically having the back lit to the perfect setting in whatever room or outdoor place you’re at. Also I believe with Voyage you can press the edges to turn the page rather than a finger drag. I can’t remember what other little things it has that Paperwhite doesn’t. But again, on Amazon you can look at the comparison of features in a chart. Usually towards the bottom of the page of the Kindle device you’re looking at.
And I am pretty sure you can transfer your kindle books from one kindle device to another. I also have the kindle app and every thing I send to my Kindle gets sent to the Kindle app as well. I would think it would be something as easy as going to the “Manage your devices” section, but I am not 100% positive on that. Just a feeling. I would think you could move files around but that would be something I wouldn’t be able to test until I can get a new one. Which might be awhile. Sigh…
If anything, I’m sure you could email Kindle support and ask the same thing. I mean if we can can upgrade cell phones and transfer all our contacts, photos, apps, etc to the new phone, I’m sure we can do the same with kindles and kindle books! 🙂
So many pretty covers, I hope you love them all.
I just checked out Blogging on a Time Crunch, what a fantastic idea!
I hope you have a fantastic week, Michelle! Happy Reading! oxox
Eeek, Sweet Temptation! I loved the first two books in that series. I really need to get to the third, but I’m excited for the fourth nonetheless! I hope you enjoy!
Oh wow, what a package. Lucky you! You’ll be busy indeed. 😀
I enjoyed reading your Blogging On A Time Crunch posts and found some new things to try. 🙂
What a fantastic book week! I bet your mailbox was happy 🙂 I want to check out The Last Faerie Queen – I love anything to do with those crafty Fae!
I missed your Blogging on a Time Crunch posts… looking right now 😀
Have another fantastic week!!
Great haul this week! I can’t wait for One. I’d try requesting it, but every time I try requesting from Harper I always get denied. :/ Have an awesome week!

I’ve been following your Blogging on A Time Crunch posts and they were really fun posts to read. I love to know how others keep everything in order, especially their blogs. Also found some interesting links and tips in them 🙂
You received a lot of books this week. I hope you can manage them all. But free books are always a good surprise. Happy reading 🙂
Holy cow you weren’t kidding, that is amazing! I think that is the best ARC box I have ever seen! Huge congrats to you! I can’t wait to see what you think of them all!
Wow, what an amazing haul this week!! I received the ones from HarperTeen too, and I’m so excited for several of them! I actually joined the ARC August Challenge in hopes of completing more of them in the next month! 🙂 Enjoy your new goodies!!
Your Blogging On A Time Crunch had a lot of helpful tips. This is perfect timing since my work schedule is changing, so I’ll be using some of your tips. I’m so jealous of the books you received. I hope you enjoy all of them! Have a great week!!
What a fantastic haul you have this week! I swear I was going through the picture thinking “Hmm I’ll take one of those, and one of that, ooo and this one looks nice too!” Haha enjoy all of these and thanks for stopping by my post earlier :)!
Now to go back and check out your blogging on a time crunch post. I’m desperately in need of that kind of inspiration lately!
These look amazing! What a great haul!! I’ve really been wanting to read Ash & Bramble and I feel like I’ve seen it everywhere! I hope you love all of these!
Oooo, The Bourbon Kings! I think I tweeted at you about this, but I am still excited for you to read it! You will love it (hopefully)! I haven’t read any of her BDB series, none of her books, but this is my first and it was quite good! And the rest of your books – phew, so many. I hope you enjoy all of your new books!
Have a fabulous week, Michelle 🙂
Check out my STS post!
I am loving all your books for review! I am curious about The Bourbon Kings! I LOVE the BDB series!
Ooh, there’s quite a few books you got that I hadn’t even heard of, Dead Upon a Time sounds good — added to my TBR list. Great post. 😛
Wow that is a wonderful pile of books. I just read The Bourbon Kings recently and enjoyed it, although I suspect some readers won’t. Will look forward to all the reviews that will be popping up soon about it.
Nice haul! Our Bibliojunkie Shel recently read The Bourbon Kings and described as “Dallas on crack”! I’m tempted to check it out as well 🙂 Enjoy your haul and thanks for stopping by us! ~ Bel
I enjoyed your post on blogging on a time crunch..still looking over the post..lol. I am so jealous of all the print ARC’s you get..when I get things it’s usually something I don’t even want..lol.
Your Blogging on a Time Crush posts sound really interesting. I can’t wait to read them! Great book haul, btw. Looks like you’ve got your work cut out for you, but at least you got a lot of good reads.
So many new books – you’ll be keeping busy.
Am interested in the Blogging on a Time Crunch posts cos I’m really struggling at the moment!
Deb
WOW! What a great haul! I’m so jealous of ‘The Bourbon Kings’! I hope you enjoy all of your new books.
Great book haul. I would be totally overwhelmed with all those ARCs.
Wow, so many books to read. As you know, I had been on a sort-of hiatus when it came to reading and blogging since I moved to another country four months ago. The sight of all those books you would be reading makes me even more excited to read my pile that I’ve neglected for so long. lol! 🙂 Happy reading and thanks for dropping by my blog.
Ooooh! Pretty pretty books! 🙂 I hope you have a fantastic week! 🙂
So many books, so little time! What a haul! Enjoy them!
Great haul. I recognise a lot of your books but have yet to read them. I have One waiting to be read, I’m hoping to get to it this week.
Thanks for stopping by my haul
I’m glad you had such a great week! Your book stack looks amazing — better get reading…
WOW, that is a truly amazing haul, Michelle! and it must be like Christmas to receive a surprise package like that 🙂 I don’t think I could even pick one book to read first there, they all look so good. I am very interested in Very In Pieces (and wonder if I have an ARC of that myself… need to check that!).
Have a fantastic week and happy reading.
Looks like we got the same package from HarperTeen. Some great looking reads. Enjoy.
I really enjoyed Dead Upon a Time! I hope you enjoy, you got quite a few good books 🙂
That is too many books for your own good! lol Enjoy.
