The Postman Knock #27
I'm celebrating warmer weather here, peeps.
To my profound relief we are in double digits right now as in anything between 10 to 20C. O_O, I forgot how nice it feels :D
Hope you enjoying the sun and warmth too!
I've READ:
Overall, it was another fantastic week. DREAMS AND SHADOWS is not what you're expecting, but it's utterly glorious. I'll be talking about the reasons I enjoyed it so much very soon. RENEGADE was good, but maybe not as exciting as book #1 in this series. However, it's dark and atmospheric and a little bit gory. I enjoyed it. TO SEEK A MASTER was requested on a whim, and I found it hot and amusing. Review coming next week. THE RESTORER was just as good as my blogger friends told me. The ending felt a bit rushed, but I'll be grabbing the rest of the series. It's really interesting and atmospheric. UNDECLARED became my big fluffy pillow of the week. I was craving something comforting, and usually I turn to historical romances when feel like this. But this time I had this New Adult novel for review... and it was lovely. At last, HOT BLOODED ended with a bang! oh boy, Amanda Carlson definitely knows how to make an entrance and an exit. Brilliant UF.
EGALLEYS:
Thank you, Random House UK and Balzer+Bray!
FOR REVIEW:
Jen was very nice in her email, and with some trepidation I accepted her New Adult romance for review. Thank you, Jen! P.S. Already read it, and it was great!
BOOK SWAP:
Lovely Ellie from Curiosity Killed The Bookworm swapped these beauties with me, and I can't wait to read them both!
Thanks to everyone who agreed to help me with guest posts and reviews in May when I'm on holidays. it looks like next month will see much awesomeness on this blog. :)
Love and Happy Sunday!
and hahaha, ladies, that is one hilarious song!
This is a form of advertising by Mooncup, a small company making menstrual cups in UK. I think what they do is brilliant. All the power and luck to them.
Ciao!

ReplyDeleteI loved the Gathering Dark, it was pretty special although I have no idea why the name change was necessary. It looks like you've been reading up a storm this week too, I'm always impressed by how many books you get through in a week!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear you enjoyed The Restorer...do ya wanna be a grave restorer like me now? Have a wonderful week my dear! The Sunday Post
ReplyDeletei'm dying to read the burning sky. i like sherry thomas's romance novels and i think her YA debut will be a good one. check out our StS at Michelle & Leslie's Book Picks. happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteAre you set for posts? If you still need one, I could do something. Regardless, enjoy your vacation!
ReplyDeleteI really need to get my hands on the Amanda Carlson books, I think I'd like them. I've heard mixed things about The Restorer, I'm glad you liked it.
Bea, thanks for your help! I would absolutely love to have one from you. I'll catch you up on Twitter, hold on!
ReplyDeleteLeanna, it was wonderful. I hope you library gets it!
Lesley, I have mixed feeling of dread and anticipation about that book. I've heard things that I know I'd love and hate both in it :)
Kimba, it will be a great job, but snakes and spiders do put me off.... ;)
Michelle & Lesley, I love Sherry Thomas historicals and I do hope her YA fantasy will be just as good.
Love the cover of The Burning Sky!
ReplyDeleteI hope you got some sunshine and warmth today - it was at least 20C here - I could have stayed outside all day!
Every week when I visit your book haul post, I get inredibly jealous that you're making a headway with your books. While my pile, on the other hand, grows to an insurmountable amount.
ReplyDeleteYou always have interesting books in your hauls. I hope you enjoy The Gathering Dark, and I will have to check out your books and find out more about them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my haul.
I so love the amanda stevens series! Happy reading darling!
ReplyDeleteWhat's the book swap thingy? Think I've missed out on something. :)
ReplyDeleteHot Blooded! Hot Blooded! Great series, can't wait for the next.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you are enjoying Amanda Carlson's books too. :)
ReplyDeleteHow is Hot Blooded? *stalks* You loved it. Hmm. I liked the first one, but not especially so, and I was on the fence about continuing. Maybe I will.
