Hauling Sunday LXXX

Still haven't gotten back into a blogging rhythm it seems, which is why this post is so late ^_^; Ah well, hopefully, it'll come back to me this week :) In the meantime, this week-end was all about relaxing. My reading picked up, yay!! And I hung out with my sister and did some shopping. It's her last week-end till her big trip to Australia :) I predict this week, there'll be a lot of running around for her to get ready ^_^; We were shopping for shoes today: Nath - 2, Emilie - 0 LOL! She's running out of time and is still so picky - that's my sister for you :P

Okay, let's talk about books :) This week is going to be awesome!! Lots of good books to look forward to!! Still, the past week wasn't shabby either. Here is what I got...

From Book Depository:


Nightshifted by Cassie Alexander - I have to admit that I haven't been into PNR that much lately. However, Nightshifted sounds really interesting and refreshing :) The fact that the author is a nurse, I think it will make this book even better :) Plus, I've actually been waiting for this book for almost a year! Last summer, I was going through the list of authors at the RWA literary signing and then checked out Ms Alexander and the book caught my eye back then. Glad to finally read it!

If the Slipper Fits by Olivia Drake - I read the blurb of the book and it sounded like a book I'd enjoy, although I've never read Ms Drake before. Plus, I got a great price over at Book Depository and thought why not? :P

Ebooks:


The Touchstone trilogy by Andrea K Host - Actually bought this ebook last week just before I departed for my aunt's surprise party :) I haven't read it yet, but expectations are high since Li really enjoyed this book and I trust her reading tastes :)

Her Best Worst Mistake by Sarah Mayberry - I wasn't sure at first whether I'd get this book. I enjoy Ms Mayberry's books, but not as much as everyone seems to. In the end, I broke down because of all the good reviews this has gotten... Oh and can't forget the good pricing :)

Book Fairy:


The Chocolate Thief by Laura Florand - I've been looking forward to Ms Florand's new release and am just ecstatic to have received an ARC, especially after having enjoyed All Fair's in Love and Chocolate. I actually have to thank Mandi from Smexy Books for forwarding my comment to Ms Florand and Ms Florand for being so generous and sending me the ARC :) Thank you!!
