Ah yes this is all of the books in one.
Ooh...Talespins. I recognize that one.. though I seem to remember it under another title. Hmm...shall wait and read your review. Happy reading!
Christy @Love of Books loved them. I will be reviewing them in October for "Things that Go Bump in the Night" a month long event of reviews and giveaways that I do. It's totally insane and totally fun!
I've heard wonderful things about Tale Spins, can't wait to hear what you think! Great books this week, enjoy! :-)
Anytime and I thought it was a good start my review posts Thursday.
I'm looking forward to reading your review of The Outcast Prince. I'm on the fence about it. Thanks for the shout out chicka! Have a great week!
thanks Aurian!
I am so looking forward to A Cursed Embrace myself! And love the Avon package :)
I will have to give something like that I try. I think I feel like I have to check in with the blog more often and there clearly isn't any reason to do so. Just a thing.
I am sorry, if ya want to chat I am always available on Facebook, message me. I am loving the series and the fact that it is set in Russia.
Missed doing the post today, I was feeling a bit down and out so I completely forgot. You got a great group of books this week! I still need to read The Gathering Storm...it's one of those books I rushed to get and then never picked up. I really hope you have a good week Kimba
Anytime cupcake and my review for Faking It goes up on Saturday:)
Can't wait to read your thoughts on Faking it!! Awesome haul and thanks so much for the shout out about my Bloggiversary!! You rock chick!!
Thanks Becky and happy Sunday to you too!
thanks Sharon Friday and Saturday on those! Have a great week:)
A wonderful haul! I'm looking forward to your Fragments & Faking It reviews.. I'm excited to read Day One :-)
Happy Reading Kimba!
Great book haul this week! So happy to see you got Between the Covers, it's such a good preview compilation. Happy Sunday!
thanks and I hope so!
thanks Jorie hope yours is awesome as well!
Good luck on the "Once Upon A Read-A-Thon!" :) Have an awesome week and happy reading! - The Sunday Post | Jorie’s Reads by Starry Night Elf
Awesome update and look at all those books... YUM!!! I know you will have a blast reading them!! Hope you have a wonderful week!
thanks Sonnie! Enjoy your week:)
thanks April I am looking forward to reading them :)
Thanks Cyn, my review will post Saturday:)
Just started reading Faking It! It's very cute so far, can't wait to see your thoughts on it. The Avon Addict box looks amazing. Great haul!
You got a lot of great looking ones! The Avon goodie bag looks awesome too! One Day looks awesome and so does The Morning Star, Shadows and Unthinkable! Totally going to check those out some more :D I hope thye are as good as they look! :D
Definitely! It was an interesting and moving book but a very depressing topic. (Which is about all I'm allowed to say, given confidentiality agreements.)
Ohh Day One looks epic!!! It looks like it was an awesome book week for you too!!!
Agreed, thanks Brandi!
Day One looks good, hope you enjoy!
Thanks Nyx you do the same!
Awesome book haul this week! There were a few I hadn't seen before. Looking forward to your reiew of Fragments :) Have a great week!
Agreed Marlene. Have a wonderful week:)
We always get some of the same books, so I can't wait to see what you think! Big Sky Wedding was in my STS yesterday. But Bronze Gods and Outcast Prince, we must compare notes after. Very different fey, yes?
I saw you tweet, hope you fixed everything!
Now following the blog via bloglovin. I would have been here earlier, but issues with my computer arose. Great haul. Some of your books are new to me.Will be adding some of them to my wishlist.
I look forward to that Giveaway !!
thanks Andrea!
thanks and there are extra copies for some giveaways too!
it was sooooooooooooooooooo good Caroline, my review will be up next week!
ooh so glad you liked it too..it was delightful!
thanks Catherine!
same to you Chelsea, have a lovely week!
Agreed Libby!
hahaha..we all have weeks like that!
next Weds for Cursed Embrace and Oct 4th for Day One with a giveaway!
I will be sharing Day One the first week of October and including a giveaway!
i am curious about that one too!
anytime Melissa, have a wonderful week!
Aren't you glad that indexing is done!! Have a wonderful week and you are welcome!
Nicole last year I read 250 books. I read 3 hrs a day minimum , seven days a week. I truly am an addict!
I consumed Cursed Embrace already my review posts next week!
I love this series, only one more book after this..i think :(
Ha...i have had a few monster coffees but the read-a-thon's helped!
Thanks Kimba, I appreciate it. :)
you do the same Jen my review of Bronze Gods is on Tuesday:)
thanks Carmen and I am enjoying the series and love that it is set in Russia!
thanks it was fun!
thanks Jenea you do the same!
yay..at least you linked up:)
thanks Yvonne, her books are fun :)
Great book haul! I bet The Cowboy's Christmas Baby will be so sweet. Big Sky Wedding, too. Enjoy!
Oooh! Congrats on the first Avon Box ! There's some interesting books there!
Check out my Haul this week
Nice haul! I really want to read A Cursed Embrace! Happy reading!!
thanks Lauren!
I devoured it already as well..love that series!
I read a min of 3 hrs a day, and not really in one sitting. Usually 30 mins at lunch, 30 mins before dinner and two hours in bed. I blog in the am for an hour and usually an hour at night..sometimes more if I am planning an event etc.
thanks Victoria you do the same!
thanks Lauren..i just keep reading!
I will be reviewing it in October and have a giveaway as well!
Well thankfully most publishers do not want you reading Christmas books until after October 1st and before Christmas. In all honesty, books I choose now or request for review are books that I will review in October, Nov, Dec as I am book solid until then.
I loved The Lemon Orchard!! I hope you have a fabulous week!!
Excellent haul! Enjoy!
What a great week you had! You got a ton of awesome books too! Happy Sunday!
thanks Blodeuedd.
thanks Trish, I will be sharing both of those titles in October
thanks Ali, I read a nice mix last month and the read-a-thon helped
I will be sharing Talespins in October and I gobbled up A Cursed Embrace..LOL
I am excited for Day One!
Yeah I am hosting TaleSpins for October's Things that Go Bump in the Night and I read Fragments back in March and this was the first empty slot I could fit it into ..LOL
Between the Covers looks really cool. I need to get that!
You have some great books! Big Sky Wedding and The Cowboys Christmas Baby are on my TBR list! Yum!
thanks Cricket:)
Yes Sourcebooks sent and I am so glad they are asking us to read it after Oct 1 and before Christmas, since I kick off my holiday themed book reading in November to get me in the mood
Thanks Bea, I am glad it arrived too.
thanks Toni :)
I am so far behind on my Goodreads challenge, I need to learn to speed read to catch up. I can count on one hand how many books I read in June.
The cover of Day One is pretty nice..and A cursed Embrace as well. Can't wait to see your reviews of both :)
Krazyyme @ Young Readers
Wow, nice haul! Day One looks interesting and I can't wait to read your review of Fragments!

Ooo yes I have Between the Covers too Kimba! I can't wait to read it, but I'm particularly excited for Sophie Jordan's excerpt/teaser/whatever it is. I'm DYING to get my hands on a copy of Foreplay to see what she does with NA! Looking forward to your review of Bronze Gods too, I can't wait to start that one:)
Wow...30 books!! That is amazing. I read 4 :-/ Granted one was over 1000 pages but still..eeek! No time to read :-(
Anywho, hope you had a great 4th and enjoy all your new reads!
PS. Thanks for the mention!
Wow, Kimba, what a terrific week! Nine reviews plus a blog tour and a cover reveal?!! And 30 books read in June? You're amazing!
I'm also eying all your new books... The Avon Addicts box looks like fun, and some of the others look great, too. I really want to read McKinley's Shadows, in part because it's McKinley and in part because it grabbed her and said "write me instead of the sequel to Pegasus."
Thanks for the mention and link to my blogoversary celebration! Now I'm off to check out some of your reviews that I missed this week while trying to make my indexing deadline (which I did, I'm happy to say.)
OMG I thought I read a lot, I can see that you are really a Book Lover to haven read 30 books for June only! How many do you read in a year. I try to read 2-3 books a week. Wow, You must have been happy to receive the Avon box, filled with beautiful books. Thank you for sharing some of the books you received!
You are a reading machine, lady! I only managed nine in June. I have A Cursed Embrace, but haven't read it yet. And congrats on the Avon Addicts box - looks like lots of goodies in there!
Have a great week :)
Thanks to you, I also just downloaded Big Sky Wedding LOL. I love those cute romances!
30 books!? WOW! Have you been getting into those Monster Coffee drinks again?! HAHA btw- I did try one and it's pretty good :)
Awesome haul! Hope you have a good week :)
You had a great reading June! I haven't gotten Bronze Gods yet so I will check out your review of that to see if I want to buy it! Have a great Sunday.
Oh wow, what a big haul! I particularly love the cover for The Morning Star - I hadn't seen it before! I really want to start that series because of the Russian setting :)
Happy reading, and congrats on your Avon box!
You can check out my haul here if you want.
Holy cow, you read 30 books in June. That is awesome! Go you!!
Wow, that is a lot of books for June... Your got some really good looking books this week. Enjoy.
Oh wow! You have lots going on and everyone else too! And I'm loving the looks of Day One. I'm going to have to look into that one. Well, I'm two weeks behind, so this week has both in. Hope you are doing well. :)
Happy Sunday! Sounds like some great things going on here. I've been wanting to read Carolyn Brown's books for awhile but haven't gotten around to it yet. Enjoy!
What a great week! And I'm off to check out some links! Enjoy your week.
OOh very nice! Lots of these are new to me, but I did read and LOVE Cecy Robson's latest!
Here's my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I really like the look of Day One and The Morning Star, oh and what a lovely goodie bag. I have no idea how you read all these! XD
I hope the read-a-thon(s) go well, good luck!
My haul
Lauren
Ooh your Avon box looks exciting! :-D Talespins sounds really intriguing too, looking forward to seeing what you think of it. Hope you're having a good weekend, and have a super week! :-)
I am shocked at the number of books that you read. You must share with us how you balance your reading time and blogging time. That is the toughest thing for me. It seems as though one or the other suffers.
It looks like a busy week around here. I am off to check out a couple of your other posts...Oh, thank you for the milestone/anniversary info. I will be sure to make some visits.
Oh I am so looking forward to hear what you think about "Day One" the cover is stunning and I'm very curious about it!
Kimba!!! Day One and Shadows look amazing, and I'm also really jealous that you managed to read beyond book #1 of Robin Bridges! I love this series, just haven't had the opportunity to get the rest of the books. And you made me laugh about The Cowboy's Christmas Baby. I was just bemoaning on Twitter this week that they started pushing Christmas books hard on netgalley, and I'm still trying to have summer :) Enjoy all!
I so want some of your books! They looks great
30 books, wow! I'm in awe. Tale Spins is nice and creepy looking and I love the look of Day One. Happy reading :)
Congrats on all the books and being able to get some many read from your TBR pile this past month, 30 is awesome!!
Lies! I would neeeever threaten anyone. *crosses fingers behind back* Promise.
Okay, too funny ... my review of Fragments is set for Monday. Yay, glad you got TaleSpins - they are super quick, fun reads.
Yeah for Sealed with a Curse! I got Carolyn Brown's book today, hoping for a fun holiday read. I bought Tailspins since Christy said to and you know I must do what Christy says or she threatens to beat me up!
Day One sounds like a really good book! I haven't heard of the other books before, but I'll look into it!
Happy reading! :)
Looks like you had a great week and a busy one ahead. Awesome set of books as well. Enjoy!
I'm looking forward to Carolyn Brown's new book, but I haven't grabbed the galley yet. I probably will later this week. Enjoy your new reads!
Oh good, you're copy of The King's Deception arrived. The cover for Morning Star is spooky and your box from Avon looks fantastic! Enjoy :)
30 books!?! Holy cow, girl! You are speed reader! Looking forward to your week ahead. :D
