A STRONG summer giveaway
Not participating yet? Click HERE to start! Ready for our first giveaway and game? I know I am! Up for grabs today is a shiny new copy of Lot’s Return to Sodom by Sandra Brannan. In case you may have missed it, Sandra guest posted here yesterday. Keep in mind that if you go and comment on that post you get an extra entry into this giveaway! Here’s a little bit about the book to get you psyched. The Sturgis Motorcycle Rally is no place for button-downed citizens-unless they’re trying to hide a murder. Sharp-witted Liv Bergen can’t avoid becoming embroiled…

Summer memories with Sandra Brannan
Not participating yet? Click HERE to start! It’s time for the first post of the event! This lovely lady is Sandra Brannan! She’s the author of the Liv Bergen mysteries, including In the Belly of Jonah (which you can see my review of here), and the recently released second mystery Lot’s Return to Sodom. Sandra’s books are filled with mystery, depth, and characters that will knock your socks off! Liv is NOT a woman you’d want to mess with. She is though, tenacious, and downright awesome! Anyway I digress. Sandra is here to kick off the guest posts, and tomorrow…

2011 Beach Reads Summer Challenge!
It’s that time of year again….SUMMER! The time in which we all worship the sun god, and read copious amounts of books, hopefully at the beach. This means it’s also time for the 2011 Beach Reads Summer Challenge! I hosted this last year with a few other awesome bloggers. They were busy this year, so it’s all me. However I have been working hard and I’m hoping that you’ll enjoy the lineup of games, prizes and awesome guest posts I have scheduled for the next two months! ********** Now, down to the details. Timeline: The challenge will run from July…

Follow Friday and Book Blogger Hop!
Tweet Hi everyone hopping and following! Welcome! If you happen to follow my humble little blog here, please leave a comment so I can follow you back! What is the most scene in a book that you have read lately? Oh man. Hands down, the book Invincible Summer by Hannah Moskowitz wins for emotional scenes! I can’t spoil, but let’s just say that the family in that book just can’t catch a break and near the end something happens that just…AH! Breaks your heart in two. I think I sobbed through the last 150 pages of that book. Get a box…

The Fanatic Report – Week of 2/28 to 3/6
I really need to make a new button for this, but since I haven’t had time to do this feature in…well months…I just never got around to it. However it’s coming back! I’ll have a new button next week. The Fanatic Report is a collection of all things happening on the blog from the week before and the week to come. It’s also a bevy of random things I’ve found, things I think are cool, and the like. In other words, it’s utter chaos. ENJOY! *** In case you missed it: 2/28 – I reviewed The Midnight Tunnel: A Suzanna Snow Mystery by…

Random Books: The Storm Edition
I haven’t done this in a while, but I finally have a day to myself and I missed this feature :). Basically this is a feature where I pick 3 books that fit a theme, and then share them with you. *** Today’s theme is storms! (Since one just passed over us with a vengeance.) *** Orokos is a city of chaos, lashed by probability storms that re-order the world wherever they strike. It covers every inch of the rocky island that it dominates. It has stood for so long that history has forgotten it, and its citizens no longer question…

Share two “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page. BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers! My Teaser: “When I was sure the coast was clear, I…
