    Beta looks really interesting! I'm holding myself back from requesting it. Lots of good ebook sales. I read all three and they were all pretty good. Happy reading!

    Looks like you had a really good week for books! I'm yet to get a copy of Anna Dressed in Blood - it's not even available on Kindle in the UK, which sucks!

    And those Netgalley titles look awesome!

    Have a good week!

    My haul this week

Hey there cupcake! You look lovely today and I can tell you're thinking very smarticle thinky thoughts....so go ahead and post 'em!

After much thought and only recently being introduced to blog awards and blogger tagging, I'm going to have to declare this an award/tag free blog. I'm honored, humbled, and so very grateful for simply being considered for an award, but I simply do not have the time to return the favor. If I could, I'd award y'all with dozens of yummy cupcakes ;) Thanks for understanding.
