I only have 4 books that I have to read and write reviews for in July the rest are done.
At July 17, 2013 at 9:05 PM , Heidi said...: Have a safe trip. You really loaded the blog next week with a ton of reviews. How did you find the time to get them all squished in? I am reading four to five books a week and that is pushing it. I am off to check out Parajunkee's article even though I am sure it is along the same lines as the article she wrote last year about bloggers losing their originality by posting all these blitzes and cover reveals, which I totally agree with! Have a wonderful holiday!
At July 17, 2013 at 9:05 PM , Reanna said...: Have a great time on your trip! You received some great looking books this week. Congrats on your wins. I LOVE the cover for Off the Record. He is just so...*swoon* :)
