Books I Received for Review:
I received a beautiful, signed, finished copy of
The King's Agent from author Donna Russo Morin
I received a new type of gift card from the company
Livrada and it's actually good for an eBook of Gone Girl from
B&N or Amazon. I will be reviewing this new concept later this week.

Concerning my book addict confession from last week where I proclaimed I wasn't going to buy any more books until I got a handle on my personal TBR pile....
I HAD AN EPIC SET BACK!!!!
(personally I blame some of my fellow bloggers and their awesome reviews, well except for Seawitch I've been waiting all year for that one! )

The King's Agent looks so good! I can't wait to see what you think of it.
Enjoy your books and Happy Reading!
Ooo, you got "Gone Girl. I'm envious! I can hardly wait for your review.
Ah, if that's the case then I have plenty to read, lol. I'll make sure to sign up soon :)
I'm thinking of joining your readathon but I don't own any of Frater's books and I'm not sure how many "bump in the night books I have". I try to mix it up between Kindle and actual copies during readathons so I don't feel as rushed, so I'm going to have to see what all I have. That gift card thing is pretty cool, I've never seen one of those before.
I hope you have a good week and enjoy your books!
The King's Agent looks like an awesome book. I am going to ad it to my TBR list!
Happy reading and enjoy your books!
I loved Gone Girl -- I'm huge fan of Gillian Flynn. Curious to hear your thoughts on Skylark. I want to read it. And I did well on the book buying -- nothing this week :)
Hugs! I am so sorry about your pet. Losing a furry friend is so hard. I am seriously seriously trying to get a hold of that TBR pile! I hope you read Gone Girl! That book is head trip! The King's Agent is gorgeous! I will sign up for Fraterfest as my TBR needs all the help it can get but I am not great at readthons with the kids! Hope this is a better week for you!
Kristilyn it's not a habit ..its an addiction..Bwahhhhahaha!
I am looking forward to it!
Thanks Jenea :)
Jen I am excited about Gone Girl and am soooooo impressed by your self-control!
I know RIGHT...in someways I just want to let the cover whore and bookaholic have free reign..but I fear how big my TBR pile would become..hehehe. Emailing you regarding Fraterfest !
Skylark *eep*
I hope you enjoy Dark Dates as much as I did, Kimba! Have a good week, sweetie!
Great Haul! I have heard really good things about Gone Girl. The cover is beautiful
My Sunday Post
Great books! I totally understand about the book buying ban stuff ... my mailbox post'll go up in a few hours and I talk about the same thing! It seems I'm always saying I won't buy books, then I (of course) buy more books. It's a habit.
Enjoy all your reading! :) Looking forward to Frater-fest!
Mwuahahaha. Foolish woman, thinking you could avoid the lure of spending on your TBR pile. I've tried, I'm a weak woman and I can admit it. I'm going to be over here with my bathrobe still on, coffee in hand waiting on your Innocent Darkness review, you know, right? lol I can't wait to read it!
Haven't got a clue how to do it, but if you still need challenge hostesses for Fraterfest, I'm up for it. I should have emailed you when I signed up but I apparently had brain freeze. No smart comments about nothing new from the peanut gallery. :D
I can't wait to what you thought of Skylark...I loved it. And I have heard awesome things about Gone Girl lately...I need to read it myself.
Gone Girl has been getting some great reviews. I can't wait to see what you think of it! :)
Gone Girl looks interesting. I can't wait to read your review. Great haul this week.
Michelle any of your paranormal/UF books will do for the Fraterfest. Hope you find some hidden on that kindle of yours..LOL
Thanks Heidi appreciate it..you threw me for a minute because I didn't remember mentioning the loss..but I confess all kinds of stuff on your blog daily..LOL Excited to have you for Fraterfest! I cannot wait to read Gone Girl!
Will be think of you this weekend..enjoy the reading now..cause naps looks way better then reading when baby comes :)
Thanks Danielle and I appreciate you taking the time to figure out my comment system..you rock!
I'm so sorry you lost a little furry baby :( Was your pet a dog or kitty? What was his/her name? When my Lucky had to go to kitty heaven early due to severe kidney failure I was a wreck! I chased the vet to kiss and hug her again. I hope our pets are playing together right now sharing stories of how we spoiled them rotten <3
Our furry baby was my daughter's rat Melody..now i know..a rat?? which is exactly what i thought almost 4 yrs ago, but she was sweet and looked just like a hamster..um except for the tail. She would sit on my daughter's shoulder, kiss you and eat fruit loops in the cutest way possible ..think Stuart Little. My daughter was a wreck, and I was a wreck because the one time my daughter cried fix her mommy..i couldn't.
Thanks MaryAnn :)
Such a great week in books! Loving that gift card btw! San Diego 2014: the Last Stand of the CA Browncoast looks interesting! Yay zombies! And yay for Wishing For Someday Soon. Tiff is an absolute sweetheard! Thanks for hosting The Sunday Post! I hope you have a fantastic week in books and reading :)
I was attempting a book buying ban, as you can see I had an epic fail...hehehe
I'm sort of on a book buying ban, until I clear off my tbr pile, so I'm just ogling your pretties.
Thanks Fran and that blog roll book takes a programmer to install and make work! No kidding I seriously had a guy help me. Glad you are joining Fraterfest..wahoo!
I heard of Livrada! I received an email from them a few weeks ago. I think its pretty awesum idea! We both got the Mira Grant book. I need to read the others however.
I am TOTALLY JOINING FRATERFEST! Are you kidding!? It'll be EPIC & AWESOME!
I have a ?? how do u make the pages flip like a book in the blog roll, I can only do L to R, R to L, Up/down, etc.
Nice to be a part of The Sunday Post <3
The Week in Bookish News
enjoy
seawitch sounds promising
Thanks Roro...what are you reading sweetie?
The things we do to justify our book addiction..hahaha!
hehehe..me too cupcake. Check my comment to Diana!
I am very excited about them too. I might go all "historical" in November and immerse myself in guilty pleasure! Yep..i will make a blog theme and do everything from romance to mystery...epp
lol We can't help our book addictions! A few of my friends and I tried Project 10 (read 10 books, buy some books). I did Round 1... but I haven't attempted another one yet! Awesome haul this week!
The Truth about Lord Stoneville!!! *Fan Girl screams* AHHH!!! I am dying for you to read it.. just dying!!
I'll never get a handle on my TBR pile! I can always talk myself into buying just one more book. You had a great haul this week! I think I'd most like to read the historical fiction titles.
I'm looking forward to your October event...that's my favorite month of the year. :-)
Woot! I'm excited about Fraterfest. I was going to start doing the Sunday Post this week, but I seriously had narcolepsy this past week. I'll join next week.
Wahoo.....looking forward too seeing you linked up. Fraterfest is gonna rock.
Me too.. i cannot wait to find out :)
Yes, yes..i am a true book addict! hehehe :)
Thanks Becky and I liked the look and sound of Death on the Delta :)
I have heard only good things about Morin's books :)
Haha, this is awesome. People are sending you free books for review and you are buying even more than you got as gifts! A true book lover!
Ooo I can't wait to see what you thought about Innocent Darkness, because I got that while at BEA this year and haven't read it yet. Also Dead on the Delta looks really good. I like that cover =D
Me too Celine:)
The King's Agent looks absolutely lovely! Ohh, and The Queen's Vow.. I love historicals (:
Hope you enjoy all of them!
Me too Kara :)
