The Sunday Post is hosted by Kimba Caffeinated Book Reviewer.
I’m probably going to get a sunburn while I put this post together despite applying plenty of sunscreen. I blame my Scandinavian and Irish genes.
So, uh, yeah … I’ve only read one book so far for the Clean Sweep ARC Challenge. I can’t help it! Other books on my TBR are too tempting. I plan to read only review books all next week, though. We’ll see how that goes.
On the Blog
- Love, in English by Karina Halle – Review. Love it so hard that I don’t want to hear anything negative about it!
- What a Woman Wants by Judi Fennell – Review. Fun and cute, but not without flaws.
- Tagged: The Book Blogger Test – I gave in and did it, and then tagged other bloggers. Were you one of them?
- You Make Me by Erin McCarthy – Review. Disappointing, unfortunately. 🙁
Books Read
Something to Talk About by Dakota Cassidy
Bold Tricks by Karina Halle
Addicted for Now by Krista & Becca Ritchie
Books Acquired
For review:
I can’t even tell you how excited, and at the same time incredibly sad I am for this.
Purchased:
All of these are/were $1.99 or less at the time of purchase. The entire Dresden Files series were part of Amazon’s Daily Deals on Saturday, but I only grabbed the first book. I might regret it later not getting the other ones too.
I want to give you all a heads up about one of my favorite books of 2013! On Sunday Must Love Otters will be only $0.99 as their Daily Find. Amazon likes to match prices, so it looks like they dropped it too for today. This book is so much fun!
What I’m Listening To
Some Calexico on a warm lazy day outside hits the spot.
Have a great week!
I’ve been wanting to start The Hollow series forever. I’ve also been dying to read Just Like Fate. I love everything with a Sliding Doors theme.
This is the last book in the series, so get reading! 😀 Yeah, the sliding doors theme is one of my favorites.
Congrats on getting the Harrison book; I gave up on that series years ago.
You got some good looking books, enjoy. 🙂
Aww, this is the last book in the series and I’m extremely sad to see it end.
Oooh thanks for the update about the Dresden Files daily deals, I have been wanting to read those for ages. I’m on book 3 of the Hollow series but it’s so long and complicated, I need to continue.
Well I hope you get through both of them. 🙂
OMG, Rachel and the gang. I can barley stand it. It can’t be over. It CAN’T!!!
I know, it makes me so sad.
I saw that the first seven in Butcher’s Dresden series were 1.99 this week, but when I went to Amazon to buy #4 (that’s the next one I need to read), they were 4.99 for me. Sometimes I hate living in Europe.
Anyway, have a fabulous week!
Ah that stinks. I kind of wish I would’ve just bought all seven.
Haha, don’t get sunburned, Christy, it sucks if you have pale skin! 🙂 Storm Front is nice but it actually a series which gets stronger with each book. I’ve only read first two, but have the rest on my kindle as I keep adding them on offers and hoping I’;ll have time to read 🙂
Boy, don’t I know it. I pretty much just assume that with all UF series now.
I’m so late in the Kim Harrison series, I need to read book 7 but I can’t wait because I love it and I’m curious. Happy reading!
This is the last book, so you can’t get any more behind after this. 🙂
I can’t wait to read Love, In English 😀
Hope you love it when you do.
Oh, I’m off to check if Must Love Otters is on offer at Amazon.co.uk as well. I’, back to reading review books after my vacation and I can be quite disciplined with that, but oh, that TBR pile is growing!
Have a great week and Happy Reading.
My Sunday Post is here
I hope it is. It’s a wonderful book.
Great haul! I have been wanting to read Just Like Fate for ages I love Cat Patrick. Happy Reading!
Thanks Megan! 🙂
Love, in English was amazing. I’m with you on not wanting to hear one single bad thing about it. I refuse to read a negative review because I don’t want it tarnishing how I felt about the book and the characters. I read You Make Me last week too, and honestly, I felt completely underwhelmed by it. *shrug* I haven’t written my review yet because I’m still processing, but I was expecting more.
Happy reading! I hope you enjoy your new finds.
My Sunday Post
Thanks Kim. And yeah, I’m avoiding reviews of Love, in English because I don’t want to stumble across something that will irritate me. lol
But…but…you made You Make Me so enticing to read, tho! Have I made a mistake of downloading that book?! O.o
Anyway.
Happy reading, Christy! ❤️❤️
Did I? The characters pissed me off quite bit – lol.
Iiih, loved Calexico!! And I’m trying to catch up with KH’s series now, I’m like so way behind, lol! Hoping I’ll catch up with it by the time the last baby comes out *crosses fingers*
I refuse to look at those Daily Deals. I refuse, lol, must not hoard ebooks, must not hoard…
I love listening to Calexico, especially while laying out in the sun. This is the last book in the KH series and it releases in September. You have some time.
I feel you. I keep getting pulled away from review books lately. I just ended up getting some other ones that I’ve really been wanting and got sucked in. I forced myself to read two review books which turned out to be really good books this week too though. The cover of With You looks HOT, but Forgiven looks more my speed! Hope you have a great week!

That’s what stinks about getting review books so far in advance, I never know how my mood will change.
Its always sad when a series ends, but then you will have time to discover a new series. Great deals on those 1.99 books.
Grace
I know, I’ve been trying to find that one UF series that will fill the hole in my heart that Harrison’s will leave. lol
Have you read Butcher yet??? I love him but I haven’t had time to read past Storm Front. We (my hubs reads them) own them all but he’s given up on the last 2.
Thanks again for the heads up on The Hollows!!! *happy dance*
pssst. I’m not hauling this week – I only got 2 books and I need time to do other bloggy stuff 😀
Nope, I watched the Dresden Files TV show years ago before I even knew they were books. I’m hoping that I’ll love the series.
I’m so glad you got it!
Great haul! 🙂 I’m behind in most my book challenges also.
I’m not necessarily behind, I’m just not ahead either. lol.
Good luck on on the only reading review books. 🙂 I don’t go outside very much because I burn so easily. But my kids love it and they don’t burn at all. Enjoy the new books.
I would live outside – lol. Except when it’s cold. I hate the cold.
I already got sunburned earlier this week – I blame my Scandinavian skin too. And it’s only been about +17 degrees Celcius here, so I’m kind of scared for when it gets warmer.
Just Like Kate looks pretty good – I had not heard about it before, but I need to check it out from Goodreads 🙂
It is a pain for someone like me who would live in the sun 24/7. lol. I hope Just Like Kate is good.
oh my god! yay you finally got dresden, I really hope you enjoy it. I totally adore that series.
I sure hope so since everyone else seems to love the series.
I suck at reading challenges too…that’s why I don’t join them anymore, I just end up feeling so dissapointed with myself lol
I don’t do the yearly challenges, only the couple of monthly ones like this that Kimba hosts.
I do NOT want the Rachel books to end, EVER! Thanks for sharing the Must Love Otters sale! And I’m sorry you’re not doing well on the challenge, I’m doing excellent for once!
I know, I almost don’t want to read it just so it CAN’T be over for me. No problem, I see Amazon did drop the price too. I’m not behind on the challenge, just not where I wanted to be yet.
You’ve got some interesting reads for this week! Must Love Otters sounds cute. Happy reading!
It’s a sweet and hilarious book. Hope you grab it, because it’s so worth it.
I really really loved The artists trilogy by Karina Halle, but somehow, I don’t seem to get to read Love in English. Yet all the reviews are so great, OK, I’ll try 😉 Have a great week !
The Artists trilogy was really good. Now I need to read her Terror series. Hope you enjoy Love, in English.
So I’m not the only one who hasn’t read too many ARCs yet. I only read two but there’s still more time in May to catch up!
Have a great week!
lol – yeah, as long as I’m not behind on ARCs, I’m fine. I just wanted to have more read by now.
I am behind on the Hollows books. I really need to get caught up this summer. Read Storm Front! We love Harry! 😀 I will say that the 1st couple of books start off a bit slow (for some readers), but they build with each book. Personally, I’d rather a series start off slow and gain speed as it gets moving rather than peaking early and then falling limp. You know, kinda like sex. lol
lol – that’s a great analogy! I’ve learned that most UF series are like that. So if I like the 1st well enough, I’ll definitely give the 2nd book a go.
I had to get the Laura Kaye one as well. She’s always so good 🙂
Nice haul this week, I hope you enjoy your new books.
Have a great week.
Here’s My Sunday Post

You’re lucky to be having great weather. I’m heading into winter…
Enjoy your new reads and I really hope you enjoy With You and continue with the series… The next book is awesome!
Thanx for visiting My Weekly Wrap-Up!

I am so behind on the Hollows series it isn’t even funny but I can’t wait to see what you think about it. I hope it is fantastic!
I’m curious to see what you think of Dakota Cassidy’s latest. I picked up Talk Dirty to Me this past week because I do love her work and want to read more, plus the reviews made it sound like lots of fun.
I’ve seen so many people who love the Butcher books, I hope you enjoy! I should check out Must Love Otters! I’ve been following the author for years and think she’s so funny.
Enjoy your books!
I have a copy of Just Like Fate. I’ve been meaning to read it. So many books! ACK! Great haul. Enjoy them all! My STS
I know I am so excited and so sad about Kim Harrison, I want to dig in and read it right now! ARGH!
