Around the Blogosphere:
Faye @ A DayDreamer's Thoughts has made it to the second round of Mira Ink's BlogINK competition. If you're unaware of this competition it is basically a once-in-a-lifetime chance to win a paid blogging job for the publisher Mira (Harlequin), and only 10 bloggers made it to the second round. For round two she had to make a 60 second video to convince Mira to choose her! And then she has one week to do a social media campaign to spread her video far and wide. Here is where you can help, go watch her video, like it, and share it to help her cause. Watch and share.

Great Haul this week! The Harvesting Looks really creepy. And I loved Bad Hair Day. In fact, my review goes up this week :)
Wow, you got a good haul this week. The basket and candles look great! What scents did you get? I'm trying so hard to get my Goodreads Challenge completed. It is so hard with all the holiday stuff going on, I am amazed at how much you get done!
Those candles look absolutely gorgeous! I also read a great review on Austensibly Ordinary so I hope you enjoy it and the rest of your book haul, sweetie! x
That candle prize is awesome! Looks like you have another busy week ahead...have a great one!
Romancing the Holiday looks so good. Have a great week!
So many awesome things this week, Kim! I looooove the candles! I wish I could smell them. :) And Meant to Be looks super good! As does Bad Hair Day.
Enjoy all your reads!
Me too..i cannot wait to read it :)
The RH box! Meant to Be is SO FREAKING GOOD. I hope you love it. *twirls*
fingers crossed and I hope it's as good as it sounds!
OMG!! What a massive haul!! Makes my 2 books look like nothing!! Lol!! The Harvesting is on my list to be reviewed, which I'm hoping to get done by Christmas!! Wish me luck!! Lol!!
thanks MaryAnn :)
Sweet haul this week! I'm a huge fan of candles, and am drooling over your win! Meant To Be was a fantastic read. Cute and sweet. I'm excited to start reading The Harvesting. Enjoy all that you got this week! Thanks for sharing and happy reading!

What we got this week!
thanks Andrea :)
Nice book haul! Make It Last and Meant to Be both look so good.
Happy Reading!
O.o hope he does!
I'm done with my Christmas shopping - except gifts for my in-laws. Eek! I'm hoping my hubby will take care of those. :-)
O.o i am glad it was good!
thanks and I am looking forward to that one as well.
Great stack of newbies - I am really looking forward to reading Meant To Be, the cover is so unique! Can't wait!
Enjoy and happy holidays :)
Yes and i cannot wait to read it!
I go to an outlet for the post office at my local grocery store and usually i am in and out...LOL Will let ya know next week.
I'm also finished with my Christmas shopping. I managed to send out all my out of country packages last week, which is good. I want to wish you good luck at the post office though. If it's anything like my trip was there'll be a long line!
You got so many great book goodies, and the candles too! I love candles. Have a great week ahead!
Yeah it's an addiction!
Love how you read Christmas-themed books. I have only started my shopping. I need to get on it!
thanks Jennifer, and I forget books all the time, I am getting better I now start my Sunday Post for next week on Sundays and add book haul books as they come in.
Lots of goodies this week!
I actually forgot that I did get one book for review from Harper so I'll just add it next week.
Jennifer @ The Bawdy Book Blog
O.o stop by after 4pm central today for my Coffee Pot Reviews..i have four of them!
I'm all about Christmas novels and novellas right now too and I've been loving your reviews and discovering new books to add to my TBR!
Enter those crazy facebook author giveaways, this is the third one I've won this year, and really I am not that diligent about entering.
thanks Jennifer have an awesome week!
WOW you had a really busy week Kimba. The candle prize pack looks amazing. Cute basket. Meant to Be and Bad Hair Day look like great reads. Looking forward to your reviews.
They are some kind of a pumpkin spice and even through the wrappings they have made my bedroom smell heavenly! I beat my GR challenge of 200 books and am at 232 now. I made my goal of 150 ebooks and stopped counting them after I did so in October. I might not make my tbr pile challenge goal of 2012, as my small addition to holiday themed books this month has gotten a little out of control!
hahaha...if I read every book i own and stopped buying books today..i could start the year fresh it maybe 3 or 4 years!
Sounds like you have a full plate, what with all the Christmas reads and book hauls and cookie baking! I am valiantly trying to read everything thing I have before the end of the year so I can start the new year fresh...we'll see how that goes! Oh and the candles...no nibbling, no matter how good they smell, OK?
I am really excited about that one, i love all things Austen.
Thanks Heather, I may need a serious holiday themed intervention. I am doubling posting to keep up with everything i am reading,,LOL
You are such a busy blogger, so much awesome stuff going on over here, and your TBR haul is enviable :) Thanks for hosting Sunday Post, I love being a part of this meme, have a great week! Book Savvy Babe
They are pumpkin spice something or other and oh yeah they smell good enough to eat!
Nice haul and the Fern Micheals prize package is beautiful. I love candles and those look like they smell great.
Happy reading.
Thanks Heidi :)
I am looking forward to your coffee pot novella reviews. Let the Christmas baking begin...I will be right over. lots and lots of,great goodies there. I have a few holiday reads coming up and I am looking forward to them. You have a busy week planned, you know I will be stopping by.
I agree about the Harvesting, after this romance binge i am on , i will need some dark, creepy reads! Good to know about Bad Hair Day
thanks Jenea, I like to get done by the 15th, so I can begin baking..i am ahead of schedule this year.
thanks Jen and I will be by later to see what I've missed on your blog, this is such a crazy time of year!
Wow, a huge congrats to Faye to making it to the second round! That's so exciting:) I can't wait to see what you think of Meant to Be Kimba, I thought it was just a really cute read!
thanks Yvonne I am starting that this week:)
Yeah I know, and I will not read books out of order like that one. Thankfully I am not obligated to read them all. I may grab book one and give them to my daughter to read.
Nice haul! Under the Bridge sounds good, and I love the cover of Bad Hair Day. But it's book #2, and I haven't read Bad Taste in Boys....My new goal is to not start any new series till next year....
Congrats on winning the candles! :)
O.o it will be up Tuesday :)
I haven't seen very many reviews on Invisible yet, I am curious what you thought about it.
Congrats on all the great books you got this week!
Thanks Kristin, it is like Christmas when that box arrives!
I love seeing what Random House sends you in your goodie boxes!! It's like Christmas anytime, all year long!! And your books for Fiery Hot Reads look awesome!!! Have a great week - I love all the Christmas reviews you have coming!!!
Thanks Sandy, now for baking, my daughter's graduation and the invasion of the in-laws!
The Harvesting looks pretty creepy! Looks like you've got a great and busy week planned on the blog! YAY for finished Christmas shopping. I finished this past week too!

Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
Oh well be careful I am seriously addicted to them this year, it's scary!
I decorate the house & put up Christmas decorations as well as play Christmas music non-stop starting the day after Thanksgiving - to get in the Christmas spirit :-) I'm usually not big into Christmas themed books, but I'm giving it a try this year. I'm excited to check out some of your upcoming reviews to see if there's something that catches my eye.

Thanks Holly and glad I have piqued your curiosity!
Another great and busy week on your blog! The books you got are all unfamiliar to me but several of the covers have peaked my interest. Thanks again for hosting The Sunday Post!
Holly @ Words Fueled by Love
Thanks Sam and yeah I am curious about Mira competition too!
The Mira Ink competition looks brilliant. I can't wait to see who secures the job in the end! Brilliant book haul this week, too. Those Random House books are making me drool. Enjoy! ;)
Thanks Jessica and I agree this is a fun way to discover new books:)
OOoh nice!! Haven't heard of any of these, but that's the fun of these memes!! I hope you enjoy all your new reads!

Thanks Sharon and I may need an intervention with these holiday themed books!
A nice haul Kimba! I can't wait to read your reviews, especially for Meant to Be. You have read & received some wonderful Christmas themed books.
Well done completing your Christmas shopping! I'm nearly done.
Have a great week & happy reading :)
Yeah, you never know what books will be in my haul, and I have been on a romance kick..i think its the holidays!
Kim! You seem to be in the mood for romance books this week! You got so many romance novels! :)
I'm so jealous of your amazing haul. You should totally share! ;)
*Kidding*
Enjoy your epic haul! :)
I've decided to join the Sunday Post. I'm going to design a new button so that I'll be supporting both you and Tynga! :) I'll come by and add my link later!
Thanks, I have been rocking the naughty New Adult reads...lol
Ahhhh, Sacred! Still haven't picked that one up yet from my pile at the bookstore. :) Hope you enjoy your new (and sizzzzzzling) reads.
Thanks and I am looking forward to that one as well :)
I want want the Austen one :D I read way too little variations these days ;)
Good week for you, I hope to be back next week
Ooh, my comment disappeared.. I apologise in advance if you end up with more than one from me.
A nice haul Kimba! I can't wait to read your reviews, especially for Meant to Be, I'm also loving all of your holiday themed books.
Well done finishing your Christmas shopping, I'm almost done :)
Have a great week & happy reading!
I already commented but it didn't go through. Don't you just hate that? It is just never the same the second time around. : ) Here we go... You have managed to find some great holiday reads. I love them but have not read as many of them this year. Time's a ticking, so I better get to it if I am to gain any Christmas spirit from them.
The Mira competition is awesome! What a dream to even make it that far, but to be chosen! Go Faye!
Thanks for hosting!
I just come to your blog and read all the Christmas themed reviews to get into the holiday mood. :D Nice haul!
Great haul as always! I'm reading Meant to Be for the Contemporary Romance Reading Challenge next year, I fell in love with the cover. Hopefully the contents satisfy just as much. :) Have an amazing week and enjoy all your books!
thanks Candace :)
Awesome week! I love Amber Kyzer and need that newest book! I'm also dying to read Meant to Be!
Love the prize pack you won!
You are welcome!
