Blogger Backstage Pass – A new feature!
SIGN UPS ARE: OPEN – Get those applications in! ********** I’ve decided to spread the love here on Hopelessly Devoted Bibliophile, and start an interview feature!

And…Discuss! Series or Standalone? What’s your poison?
It’s baaaccckkkk!!! And…Discuss is a way for me to share a topic I’ve been thinking about, ramble about it for a bit, and then open the floor to your opinions. An open forum for bookaholics!

Coming Soon on HDB… (10/7/12)
Last week was a little spotty I know. It’s T-minus 2 weeks to the wedding and my brain is a little mushy! These next two weeks will be a little less than normal. On the bright side, there’s a lot of great stuff coming up this week. So let’s get to it! ********** MONDAY/TUESDAY To start the week, a review of Luthecker by Keith Domingue. This is a thriller that has captured my imagination and I’m still not even quite done! This might go up tomorrow or Tuesday depending on when I finish the book, but I’ll be sure to let…
