Sad, but it was going to happen eventually.</p> <p>I used to take all my books to a local used bookstore here in town, but they’ve finally been forced to close. Very sad times for me. </p> <p>So instead, I’m seeing if eBay will agree with me for once. </p> <p>I thought you all might like to know some of the books and such I’m selling. There are other things for sale to, like movies and stuff. </p> <p>Most of the books are mine, but a few romance books are my mom’s and crime/thriller books are my dad’s. So if you want to know how all of them are…. I can’t really tell you lol.</p> <p>So here’s the list:</p> <ul> <li><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/271173655171?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649">Blood Promise (Vampire Academy book 4) by Richelle Mead</a> (hardcover)</li> <li><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/271174382683?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649">House of Night books 1-4 (Marked, Betrayed, Chosen & Untamed) by PC Cast & Kristin Cast</a> (paperback)</li> <li><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/271173680751?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649">Hunted (HoN book 5) by PC Cast & Kristin Cast</a> (hardcover)</li> <li><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/271173664546?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649">Tempted (HoN book 6) by PC Cast & Kristin Cast</a> (hardcover) </li> <li><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/271173686927?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649">Dark Visions omnibus by L.J.

I am alive & ok. I’ve been a busy little bee. Sorry I didn’t leave you all with any info before I disappeared.</p> <p>Reading has taken a bit of a backseat for me right now. I’ll still be reading & posting reviews on here when I have the time, but I won’t be accepting any more review requests & I won’t be having any more big events or maybe anything. It’ll just depend on how much time I have. </p> <p>Finally having a working computer might make things a bit easier on me, so we’ll see how things go.</p> <p>I’m moving most of my focus to my jewelry & other crafting though, so don’t be surprised if you see lots of jewelry stuff. I do have a jewelry blog. It hasn’t been updated for a while either. >_< But hopefully I can get that going again soon too. Please check out my <a href="http://www.nrsvampchick.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">NRSVampChick Designs blog</a> sometime if you wouldn’t mind. It has links to my shop too, as does this page. I’m finally getting some of my newer items in there. I have tons around here for craft fairs, I just need to get some online.</p> <p>So, as for the future of this blog. I’ll be around here and there, but not as active as I was I’m sorry. I’ll be working on reviewing everything I planned on reviewing in the past. You can find me on twitter and facebook still.

Then her therapist dies (done in by Briggs’s goon), and she’s left wondering about these mysterious pills she’s been prescribed.</font></p> <p><font size="3">But, like the others in the original drug trial, she learns that she’d better take the pills…or else her carnal cravings will destroy her.</font></p> <p><font size="3">Can Anita Molkesky fend off the primal instincts or will forgetting bring her peace?</font></p> <p><font size="3">Dive into <i>Liquid Fear</i> and decide for yourself just how much fear is enough.</font></p> <p><font size="3">-------------</font></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3">Scott Nicholson is author of 20 books, including <a href="http://www.hauntedcomputer.com/disintegration.htm" target="_blank"><em>Disintegration</em></a>, <a href="http://www.hauntedcomputer.com/skullring.htm" target="_blank"><em>The Skull Ring</em></a>, <u><a href="http://www.hauntedcomputer.com/speeddating.htm" target="_blank"><em>Speed Dating with the Dead</em></a></u>, and <a href="http://www.hauntedcomputer.com/redchurch.htm" target="_blank"><em>The Red Church</em></a>.

Now the experiment is continuing, as Dr. Sebastian Briggs wants to finish his research into fear response and post-traumatic stress disorder. He’s backed by a major drug company and an ambitious U.S. Senator, but he also has a personal stake in the outcome.</font></p> <p><font size="3">Only by taking the mysterious pills can the survivors stave off the creeping phobias, carnal impulses, and madness that threaten to consume them. But the pills have an unexpected side effect—the survivors start remembering the terrible acts they perpetrated a decade ago.

I am all about a great story no matter the genre.  I am new to YA and I am really enjoying a lot of what is out there for teens.  I do really love UF and some SciFi, but also Mystery and Thrillers. I am taking the Chicklit challenge this year hosted by ChickLit Plus which will be entirely new to me, I have never read anything in that genre!  </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>What age group books do you prefer (middle grade, young adult, adult)?</strong> All of them! </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Why?</strong> Three months ago (right before I started blogging) I would have said Adult, for sure! Since I started blogging and reading so many other blogs, you guys convinced me to try young adult and I am so glad that you did!</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>What’s something unique about your blog?</strong> I decided to not post "Reviews" I call them "My View" instead.  I know it is just word play but it allows me to feel like I can be more honest and write my thought in a more engaging and fun way.  I have a great post about the reasons for this, you can check that out </font><a href="http://www.booksdevoured.com/2011/02/my-view-vs-review.html" target="_blank"><font size="3">HERE</font></a><font size="3">.  </font></p> <p><font size="3">I also really try to feature many different genres of books.  I tend to get bored reading the same types over and over without a break.  I have figured out that I enjoy books more when I mix it up. </font></p> <p><strong><font size="3">Who/what are your favorite...</font></strong></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>Books?</strong> If I MUST choose just 1 it would be The Stand by Stephen King. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Series?</strong> The Hollows series by Kim Harrison (at least Today that is my favorite, there are so many greats!)</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Authors?</strong> Stephen King is great of course. I could not narrow down my other favorites, there are too many!</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Literary characters?</strong> I love all the characters in The Stand, the good guys anyway! </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Literary couples?</strong> Cat and Bones from the Night Huntress series comes to mind, I am sure there are more!</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Villains?</strong> I love to hate Belatrix LeStrange, It might be the movies that helps that. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Supernatural beings?</strong> I loved all the Fey characters in the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa</font></p> <p><font size="3"></font></p> </blockquote> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_R4qiQ5AHwx8/TZEyI9rQQiI/AAAAAAAAAtc/7tE5isAzOiY/s1600-h/image%5B4%5D.png"><font size="3"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="image" border="0" alt="image" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_R4qiQ5AHwx8/TZEyJucw26I/AAAAAAAAAtg/_mlH8S6SleE/image_thumb%5B2%5D.png?imgmax=800" width="198" height="166" /></font></a><font size="3"> </font></p> <p><strong><font size="3">About Me: </font></strong></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3">I have an addiction. I can not stop buying books.  I know that a lot of you share my addiction! I have little to no self control.  I have an insane amount of books to be read that I own and yet I can not resist that shiny new awesome book I have been drooling over online for months.  My husband is wonderful and indulges me.  He now calls the mail man my dealer.  He has remarked more than once that he is so glad I chose books to be addicted to and not something else. He has always told me that I don't read books, I devour them. When it came time to choose a blog name, that came to mind pretty quickly and I knew it was the right name!</font></p> </blockquote> <p><font size="3">Thanks so much for having me!

I’m staying very busy & with nice weather on the way, lots of craft shows are coming up, so I’ll have even less time soon. I could really use another person helping me with reviews. You’ll notice there haven’t been many lately, because I’m running behind. </p> <p>I love running the blog and all that, it’s mainly just the reviews I need the help with at this time. If you are interested in possibly being a reviewer at Not-Really-Southern Vamp Chick just shoot me an email. It would be great if you could include a review, but if you would like to ask me any questions feel free. </p> <p>My email is notreallysouthernvampchick(at)gmail(dot)com</p> <p>Please, I just ask that for those that are interested, that you think about the tone of my blog and make sure this is the type of blog you want to be a reviewer for. I mostly review urban fantasy and paranormal romance both young adult and adult, with other genres like horror, dystopian, steampunk, etc. thrown in here and there. </p> <p>Until I find someone, and even after I do, I’d still love to have guest reviewers here more often. If you are interested in being a guest reviewer you can fill out this form <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dFRoX2M2SzloOTZ6Zm8zVlFoS1RHd0E6MQ#gid=0" target="_blank">HERE</a>.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257436903098197811.post-44377011910897659962011-03-14T08:00:00.000-05:002011-03-14T08:00:22.914-05:00Meet a Blogger Monday: Simply Megan (6)<p align="center"><strong><a href="http://s839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Meet%20a%20Blogger%20Monday/?action=view&current=WoodenBook-1-1.gif" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Meet%20a%20Blogger%20Monday/WoodenBook-1-1.gif" width="250" height="188" /></a></strong></p> <p>There are so many great bloggers & blogs out there. A lot of which don’t seem to be known about real well, or are new and trying to get the word out about them. So how can I help? </p> <p>I wanted to start Meet a Blogger Monday mainly for the new bloggers, or less well known ones that would like a little love. This way you get to know them a bit and can go check them out for yourself!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://s839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Meet%20a%20Blogger%20Monday/?action=view&current=SimplyMegan.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Meet%20a%20Blogger%20Monday/SimplyMegan.jpg" /></a></p> <p><strong>Your name: </strong>Megan</p> <p><strong>Name of Blog:</strong> Simply Books</p> <p><strong>Blog Url: <a href="http://wwwsimplymegan.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://wwwsimplymegan.blogspot.com/</a></strong></p> <p><strong>Country you live in:</strong> United States</p> <p><strong>How long have you been blogging?</strong> Since July 2008, so two and half years.</p> <p><strong>Are you mainly a book review blog or do you feature/review other things?</strong> Simply Books is mainly a book review blog but I do participate in Waiting on Wednesday and occasionally my original feature Book vs. Movie.</p> <p><strong>What genres do you read/review?</strong> Pretty much anything that's YA but I really like contemporary, dystopian, and historical fiction.</p> <p><strong>What age group books do you prefer (middle grade, young adult, adult)? Why?</strong> I prefer YA because all the characters are my age (for the time being) and the themes and stories are always wonderful and exciting and interesting to read.</p> <p><strong>What’s something unique about your blog? </strong>I have my own original feature Book vs. Movie where I compare a book and its movie counterpart. There are probably other bloggers who do the same thing but I have yet to come across them.</p> <p><strong></strong></p> <p><strong>Who/what are your favorite... <br /></strong></p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Books?</strong> <em>The Da Vinci Code</em>, <em>Heist Society</em>, <em>Anna and the French Kiss</em></p> <p><strong>Series?</strong> Harry Potter, The Hunger Games, The Mortal Instruments, The Uglies</p> <p><strong>Authors?</strong> Sarah Dessen, Scott Westerfeld, Deb Caletti, Jodi Picoult</p> <p><strong>Literary characters?</strong> Hermione Granger, Katniss Everdeen, Jane Eyre (thought it would be good to add a classic character :))</p> <p><strong>Literary couples?</strong> Katniss & Peeta, Jace & Clary, Anna & St. Clair</p> <p><strong>Villains?</strong> Voldemort, of course.</p> <p><strong>Supernatural beings?</strong> I'm not a big paranormal person, but I've read a lot of books about vampires so I guess them. Plus I love the tv show The Vampire Diaries.</p> </blockquote> <p></p> <p><strong>About Me:  </strong></p> <blockquote> <p>I'm 19 years old and a freshmen in college. I'm not really sure what I want to major in so suggestions would be lovely :) I love watching tv and all of my million shows, hanging out with friends, writing, swimming, playing tennis.

A lot of which don’t seem to be known about real well, or are new and trying to get the word out about them. So how can I help? </p> <p>I wanted to start Meet a Blogger Monday mainly for the new bloggers, or less well known ones that would like a little love. This way you get to know them a bit and can go check them out for yourself!</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://s839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Meet%20a%20Blogger%20Monday/?action=view&current=LoveLetters.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Meet%20a%20Blogger%20Monday/LoveLetters.jpg" width="250" height="188" /></a></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Your name:</strong> Caitlin Peterson <br /><strong>Name of Blog:</strong> Love Letters Book Reviews <br /><strong>Blog Url:</strong> <a title="http://loveletters-books.blogspot.com/" href="http://loveletters-books.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://loveletters-books.blogspot.com/</a></font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Country you live in:</strong> Good ol' USA</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>How long have you been blogging? </strong></font><font size="3">Book blogging, about six months. But it's not consecutive, as I took a rather long break while pregnant with my daughter. I used to be All Things Print, but am back under a different name. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Are you mainly a book review blog or do you feature/review other things? </strong></font><font size="3">Right now, I'm mainly a book blog. I would eventually like to get it to a book and writing blog, but the writing part is a ways down the road.</font></p> <p> <br /><font size="3"><strong>What genres do you read/review? </strong></font><font size="3">Young Adult, Contemporary, Historical & Paranormal romance, and Urban Fantasy with the occasional thriller and suspense novel thrown in.</font></p> <p> <br /><font size="3"><strong>What age group books do you prefer (middle grade, young adult, adult)? Why? </strong></font><font size="3">Young adult and adult. I understand and connect better with the characters. Junior high was an incredibly horrible experience, and I try to avoid anything that will remind me of those days! </font></p> <p> <br /><font size="3"><strong>What’s something unique about your blog? </strong></font><font size="3">My reviews tend to be shorter. I know that I have a lot of blogs to read and don't always have time to read lengthy reviews. I tell you what I thought of it, either good or bad, and then move on. I'm honest. If I didn't like a book, I'll tell you why. And if I loved the book, then I have a tendency to gush about it. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Who/what are your favorite...</strong></font></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>Books?</strong> Anna and the French Kiss, Shiver, Hot Ice (Nora Roberts), Vampire Academy Series, Harry Potter, Night Huntress series.. the list goes on and on!</font></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>Authors?</strong> Richelle Mead, Jeaniene Frost, Patricia Briggs, Nora Roberts, Maggie Stiefvater, Stephanie Perkins, Karen Marie Moning, Catherine Coulter, Elizabeth Lowell, Julia Quinn, Ilona Andrews, Susan Elizabeth Phillips</font></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>Literary characters?</strong> Harry Potter & crew, and my top five literary couples listed below</font></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>Literary couples?</strong> Rose & Dimitri (Vampire Academy), Cat & Bones (Night Huntress), Mac & Barrons (Fever), Kate & Curran (Kate Daniels), Etienne & Anna (Anna and the French Kiss)</font></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>Villains?</strong> Uhh.. I don't think I have a favorite one. Maybe Voldemort?</font></p> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>Supernatural beings?</strong> It's a tie between vampires and werewolves. I have a hard time choosing!</font></p> </blockquote> <p><strong><font size="3">About me:</font></strong></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3">I have never in my life had a friend that liked to read the same things I do. Or if they did like to read, it was an occasional book every now and then. I've always been known as that weirdo-reader-girl, because I read all. the. time. Then you throw in my obsession for vampires, werewolves, fae, witches and magicians, I'm a lost cause. Apparently. So here I am, starting a book blog, hoping to find virutal friends that understand me and are willing to discuss with me. Please stop by, and if you like what you see.. follow along! </font></p> </blockquote> <p align="center"><strong><font size="3">Check out <a href="http://loveletters-books.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Love Letters Book Reviews</a></font><font size="3"></font><font size="3"> now!</font></strong></p> <p>Thanks Caitlin for letting us get to know you better!</p> <p>Would you like to sign up to be on Meet a Blogger Monday? <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dE9ZeXdFelBfVkNpWGtvblQ5Qzh4TkE6MQ#gid=0" target="_blank">Fill out the form here</a>.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257436903098197811.post-91089006416366200312011-03-02T20:00:00.000-06:002011-03-02T20:00:58.284-06:00Win on Wednesday: Contests Around the Blogosphere (55)<p align="center"><a href="http://s839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Win%20on%20Wednesday/?action=view&current=WinOnWednesday.png" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Win on Wednesday" src="http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Win%20on%20Wednesday/WinOnWednesday.png" /></a></p> <p align="center">started by Abigail @ <a href="http://allthingsurbanfantasy.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">All Things Urban Fantasy</a></p> <p> </p> <p>Just fill out the form if you have a contest going on & you want to spread the word!

When I put the tour together, I said one grand prize would be <a href="http://www.jlbryanbooks.com/thehauntedlibrary.html" target="_blank">The Haunted Library</a><u></u> ebook collection, a second would be a new Kindle with WiFi, and if <i>The Haunted E-book</i> reached the Top 100 in the Kindle store, anytime during the tour, I would also give away a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002GYWHSQ?tag=wwwjlbryanboo-20&camp=213381&creative=390973&linkCode=as4&creativeASIN=B002GYWHSQ&adid=0J959Q9E3YQN7X4NQQQ7&" target="_blank">Kindle DX</a><u></u>.</p> <p>However, that was months ago, and Amazon’s rankings aren’t as volatile as they used to be. So I’m lowering the bar: if <i>The Haunted E-book</i> reaches the Top Ten bestsellers in the Kindle horror category (even for a moment) I’ll go ahead and make the third blog tour prize available—one commenter from the tour will win a Kindle DX! </p> <p>And we’ll try to make that happen today.</p> <p>First, I’ve purchased a Kindle Nation Daily ad for <i>The Haunted E-book</i>, and a sample of the novel will be sent more than 10,000 Kindle Nation Daily subscribers today.

She tries The Haunted E-book, the story of a 19th century tramp printer whose ghost awakens whenever someone reads a book he created. Then Dee learns the stories in the books are true, the malevolent ghost is real, and Dee might be the next character to die.</em></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>My Review:</strong></p> <blockquote> <p>The Haunted E-Book by JL Bryan is a rollercoaster ride of a book. Honestly, at first, I wasn’t sure who our main character was. There I was reading about Dee reading about Madison reading about Parker. Confused? </p> <p>Still, I was intrigued and needed to know more. Reading about someone reading about someone and so on and so forth cracked me up. So while that kept me amused, there were plenty of scary moments to keep me wanting more. </p> <p>Dee is a librarian working in a small town, who doesn’t get the respect she deserves and has a horrible, two-timing boyfriend. She does not deal with confrontation well. A lover of romance novels, she decides to try a bad horror e-book one night on a whim, when she’s really ticked off at her boyfriend. Bad idea.</p> <p>I think what I liked most were the odd things and places that the horror was brought out most of the time. Mall toy stores, libraries, kindles, and romance novels are a bit off the beaten path from what I usually read. Well maybe libraries every now and then, but still. Plus the description of the “bad guy” is so detailed that I could picture everything happening.</p> <p>This book was very refreshing. It keeps you guessing and had me reading away trying to discover the secret to The Haunted E-Book.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>My Rating:</strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://s839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Blog%20Images/?action=view&current=4coffins.png" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="rating" src="http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Blog%20Images/4coffins.png" /></a></p> <p> </p> <p align="center"><strong>Find J.L.

A lot of which don’t seem to be known about real well, or are new and trying to get the word out about them. So how can I help? </p> <p>I wanted to start Meet a Blogger Monday mainly for the new bloggers, or less well known ones that would like a little love. This way you get to know them a bit and can go check them out for yourself!</p> <p> </p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Your name: </strong>Lily <br /><strong>Name of Blog: </strong>Moirae the fates book reviews <br /><strong>Blog Url:</strong> </font><font size="3"><a href="http://moiraethefatesbookreviews.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://moiraethefatesbookreviews.blogspot.com/</a></font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Country you live in: </strong>USA</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>How long have you been blogging?</strong> Since September 2010</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Are you mainly a book review blog or do you feature/review other things?</strong> Book reviews.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>What genres do you read/review?</strong> I read everything but romance and manga. (Like from the romance section, however Karen Moning's fever series I have read, but that is more paranormal then romance.) I read YA, paranormal, horror, true crime, fiction, non-fiction, history books ect.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>What age group books do you prefer (middle grade, young adult, adult)? Why? </strong>The YA genre has exploded and there are so many talented authors with wonderful stories out there. I also like a lot of the adult books, the stories are more invovled and there tends to be bigger story lines. When I want a quick read I read YA, when I want a longer more involved read, I read adult. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>What’s something unique about your blog?</strong> I think just the vibe and feel my blog has is different from the others I have seen. I try t make it fun and also very to the point. I feel that the people who go to book blogs are there for book reviews and that is what I try to solely provide. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Who/what are your favorite...</strong></font></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>Books?</strong> I have loved Catcher in the Rye for years as well as the Harry Potter books. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Series?</strong> Harry Potter is number one for me.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Authors? </strong>So many just a few are, Lauren Kate, Stacey Kade, Rachel Hawkins, Karen Marie Moning, Stephen King, Frank McCourt, Jocelynn Drake, Colleen Gleason, Dean Koontz,PJ Tracy, Brad Thor, and many more. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Literary characters? </strong>Love me some Eric Northman! Luce Price, Daniel Grigori, Draco Malfoy, Ron Weasley, Holden Caufield.</font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Literary couples?</strong> Luce Price and Daniel Grigori from Lauren Kate's "Fallen" series. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Villains?</strong> Voldemort. </font></p> <p><font size="3"><strong>Supernatural beings?</strong> Twilight ruined vampires for me LOL I really enjoy the Fae.</font></p> </blockquote> <p><font size="3"><strong>About me:</strong></font></p> <blockquote> <p><font size="3">I'm 24 years old, I love animals, I am in the military, been reading since I was 2 1/2. Rude people bug me. I have noticed that sometimes people with the same name have a similar personality. For example everyone I have met with the name "Lori" have been some of the funniest people I have ever met. </font></p> <p><font size="3">I love the show Supernatural, I am a Dean fangirl and I kinda hope Sam leaves the show so we get more Dean. LOL</font></p> </blockquote> <p align="center"><font size="3"><strong>Check out <a href="http://moiraethefatesbookreviews.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Moirae the fates book reviews</a> now!</strong></font></p> <p>Thanks Lily for letting us get to know you better!</p> <p> </p> <p>Would you like to sign up to be on Meet a Blogger Monday? <a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?hl=en&formkey=dE9ZeXdFelBfVkNpWGtvblQ5Qzh4TkE6MQ#gid=0" target="_blank">Fill out the form here</a>.</p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257436903098197811.post-55308379900930200492011-02-27T13:18:00.001-06:002011-02-27T13:18:55.692-06:00In My Mailbox (34)<p align="center"><a href="http://s839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/In%20My%20Mailbox/?action=view&current=InMyMailbox.png" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="IMM" src="http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/In%20My%20Mailbox/InMyMailbox.png" /></a></p> <p align="center"><font size="1">In My Mailbox is hosted by </font><a href="http://www.thestorysiren.com/" target="_blank"><font size="1">The Story Siren</font></a><font size="1"> & inspired by </font><a href="http://aleapopculture.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><font size="1">Pop Culture Junkie</font></a></p> <p>Here’s what I got during the past week! </p> <p><strong><u><font size="3">For Review:</font></u></strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://s839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Blog%20Images/Book%20Covers/?action=view&current=HuntersPrey-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Blog%20Images/Book%20Covers/HuntersPrey-1.jpg" width="300" height="233" /></a></p> <p>From <a href="http://myimmortalstories.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Katie Salidas</a></p> <ul> <li><em>Immortalis Carpe Noctem</em> by Katie Salidas</li> <li><em>Immortalis Hunters & Prey</em> by Katie Salidas</li> </ul> <p> </p> <p><strong><u><font size="3">Bought By Me:</font></u></strong></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://s839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/In%20My%20Mailbox/?action=view&current=IMM34-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/In%20My%20Mailbox/IMM34-1.jpg" width="300" height="226" /></a></p> <p>At <a href="http://www.borders.com/online/store/Home">Borders</a></p> <ul> <li><em>Dawnkeepers </em>by <a href="http://www.jessicaandersen.com/">Jessica Andersen</a></li> </ul> <p></p> <p></p> <p> </p> <p><font size="3">What did you get this week?</font></p> Unknownnoreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2257436903098197811.post-63280097574842174932011-02-27T12:16:00.001-06:002011-02-27T12:16:27.744-06:00Shop on Saturday (on Sunday) (38)<p align="center">Shop on Saturday is where I show a few of the things I’ve seen around the web (mostly <a href="http://www.etsy.com/" target="_blank">Etsy</a>) the past week.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/60841642/tribal-rainforest-fairy-original" target="_blank"><img border="0" alt="Photobucket" src="http://i839.photobucket.com/albums/zz315/NRSVampChick/Shop%20on%20Saturday/SoS%202-27-11/SoS2-27-116.jpg" width="250" height="348" /></a></p> <p align="center">I’m loving everything by <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/selinafenech" target="_blank">Selina Fenech</a>!
