**Reminder: Sunday is the last day to enter my giveaway for an ARC of Fated by Alyson Noel!
This week was a bit different, because I participated in Armchair BEA!
Introduction post
Favourite Books of 2012: So Far and Yet To Come!
Networking In Real Life
Bookish Things Beyond the Blog (with some fun facts about me!)
Waiting on Wednesday: Speechless by Hannah Harrington
The cover played hide-and-seek with us.
Next week is going to be slow around here: no memes, but a fun blog tour (with giveaway!), my extremely late Fierce Reads Tour recap, and perhaps finally getting my 6-month blogoversary giveaway up! I've got a really busy week coming up (and absolutely none of it has to do with books - how sad is that!?) with a concert, tons of timely errands, and jury duty (boo!), so I won't be posting. But I'll still be around, still be reading, and I'll be back on the 18th!
**I'm also going to spend the week responding to all the comments from the past week - I did my best to visit each commenters' posts/blogs when they came in, and now I'll finally respond to each one here :)

ReplyDeleteI'm so excited to read Shadow and Bone ! It looks so fabulous. I can't wait to dive into it.

Great week! I have read ARCs of all the books on the Fierce Reads tour and loved them all. I'm sad that they won't be coming anywhere near me. I would love to meet the authors. My new book posts are at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
