Goodie Basket (35): Book Haul and Blog Recap



Goodie Basket...is a weekly feature hosted here at Word Spelunking that showcases all the goodies (books, bookish things, reviews, interviews/giveaways/guest posts, blog tours, etc) that popped up in the Goodie Basket that is Word Spelunking each week.

(This meme is inspired by other book haul memes such as Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews, Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits & Tea and Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer )

Weekly Blog Recap
Author/Pub sign-ups are still open for the 2nd Annual March MG Madness Event. All authors are welcome!

This week I reviewed Touch of Death by Kelly Hashway and gave it only one and a half sad cupcakes; check my review out to find out why.

The Broken Blog Tour stopped by with a guest post from author A.E. Rought, and the Revolution 19 Blog Tour stopped by with my interview with author Gregg Rosenblum.

I spotlighted Walt Morton's funny and creepy YA book American Ghoul and I'm giving away three ebook copies (still open). I participated in the Release Book Blitz with an excerpt and ebook giveaway (still open). And finally, I helped reveal the awesome book trailer for the Mindjack Trilogy by Susan Kaye Quinn.

What did you get 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.
