Search Terms
- chris myers posting - I was on the blog tour for Lennon's Jinx
- apollyon stacking the shelves - Yes, I got Apollyon in January
- best book boyfriends 2012 - I do indeed have a post on that
- falling for her fiance - Yes! I loved this book. Cindi Madsen is a great author!
- sweet peril by wendy higgins. - I got this last week and can't wait to read it!
- arc giveaways- I had one a few weeks ago, but none at the moment. Sorry.
I also had a super disturbing search term that I think traumatized me and I was not about to put that up. It was searched for twice actually. There's a difference between funny disturbing, and just really wrong disturbing.
Well that's all I've got. I hope that all of you had a great week. Link me and I will check out your post!!
Ooo, you reminded me that I still need to read The Immortal Rules! Sounds like the second book is going to be just as good!
ReplyDeleteGreat stack! Enjoy :)
Well both of them are up on NG if you want them lol!!! I can't believe I accidentally got the first one again.
DeleteOoh, I saw so many people talking about FIRST KISS on twitter, but I didn't know what it was! I have the prequel novella and the whole concept seems really cool, so I need to make an effort and at least read the novella before the book comes out!I'm also very intrigued about Love's Forbidden Flower.
ReplyDeleteI really liked Skid Out so I am super excited for First Kiss. Love's Forbidden Flower sounds really good and I can't wait to read it.
DeleteThe Eternity Cure!!!! I already started it! Just loved The Immortal Rules. Timespell sounds amazing and I love the cover!!! Happy reading and thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to reading The Eternity Cure!! I just realized that Timespell and Love's Forbidden Flower have the same chick on the cover. At least I think she's the same. Lol!!
Delete"The Trouble With Flirting" sounds really really cute! I love the film version of Mansfield Park. I haven't read it though. I have to admit that I'm not a huge Jane Austin fan, though I love all the movie adaptations. It's weird, but just go with it!
ReplyDeleteHere is my STS: http://thewhiteunicornfiction.blogspot.com/2013/02/staking-shelves-episode-four.html
It does sound like a cute book. I haven't seen any reviews on it yet, but I am excited to read it without hearing anything one way or another. That doesn't happen very often.
DeleteGosh..I feel like I'm missing out now with everyone reading The Eternity Cure. I really ought to start reading some Julia Kagawa books!! Great haul:)
ReplyDeleteHaha!! The Blood of Eden series is very different from her Iron Fey series, but both are really good.
DeleteI still haven't read The Immortal Rules but I have it on my TBR Mountain. The Eternity Curse sounds really good though :) Happy reading and great haul!

The Immortal Rules was different, but good. Hopefully sometime you will get around to it. :)
DeleteCan't wait to read First Kiss! You got some good ones. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI really liked Skid Out so I am really looking forward to First Kiss.
DeleteSweet haul. I can not wait for The Eternity Cure..... Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's Sunday Post
Awesome books! Enjoy them all :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!! :)
DeleteI'm so jealous you got The Eternity Cure! NetGalley hasn't responded to my request yet--I think I'm going to be declined. *pouts* And the cover for Timespell is so preeeeeetyyyyyy.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I hope you get it!!
DeleteI got the eternity curse too but I need to read Immortal rules first. Great haul. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteHaha!! I can't believe I accidentally requested The Immortal Rules again when I meant to do The Eternity Cure. So funny.
DeleteDude you always have such great hauls and you always win so much! I always see your tweets and think I need to start entering more giveaways but I'm really lazy! Yay for all the awesome tour books :)
ReplyDeleteI do tend to have good luck. Now if only my luck would work for a kindle giveaway I would be super stoked!! Lol!! I love my nook, but I want a kindle too.
DeleteJenni is right - you're like the giveaway winning queen! Haha. The cover reveal-giveaway queen... you're a queen of a lot!!
ReplyDeleteIs it bad that I'm super curious as to what this "disturbing" search term was?
I do win a lot of giveaways. I enter a lot though. OMG I am going to have to text you about that search term. It was really wrong. Lol!!
DeleteI didn't know The Eternity Cure was on NetGalley until I saw it on everyone's StS post! I'm so excited for that book because I loved the first book. I also like the sound of The Secret Ingredient. I need to check that one out too.
ReplyDeleteGreat books this week, Amy and congrats on winning all those awesome goodies!
I only knew because I got the email from NG about it.
DeleteNice book haul, sweetie! Real Men is cute. And I Loooove Laura Kaye. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, I had read your review and saw you liked it, so when I got the request to review it I decided to fit it in. :)
DeleteEEK! I love all of your books! I love your story about The Eternity Cure haha that was hilarious!
ReplyDeleteAnd you have super awesome wins so I hope you love all of your books! Timespell's cover is SO GORGEOUS right?
Awesome haul! :D I can't wait to see what you think of all of them!
I felt like such an idiot after I downloaded it and realized it was The Immortal Rules. I was so excited for The Eternity Cure I didn't look to see it was the right one haha!!
DeleteI love the Timespell cover. So pretty!! I am excited to read it.
Oh, The Eternity Cure! Awesome! You had a great book week!
ReplyDeleteGreat week! I need to check out my search terms -- I haven't done that lately, though you always get funnier ones than me. And yes ... no more winter storms, please. It's nearly March.
ReplyDeleteGreat bunch of books this week! So many won/gifted and review copies :D
ReplyDeleteAnd BOOOOO to the disturbing search term :( Don't even give it a second thought!
Awww, yeah, The Eternity Cure! I grabbed that one off of NetGalley as well, though I don't know that the odds are all that good that I'll actually get to it. Still! Awesome.
ReplyDeleteOh, AND I just read The Trouble with Flirting, and I wasn't expecting much honestly, but I LOVED it. So. There you go. :)
I got The Secret INgredient too. It sounds like a lot of fun and I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought so. I can't wait to read The Eternity Cure. I am crossing my fingers that I like it better than the first book because I thought the series had enormous potential and I wanted to stick with it. Nice haul!
