Clock Rewinders (02/09/14)

Clock Rewinders on a Book Binge is the brain child of Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Tara @ 25 Hour Books.  I'm inviting myself to their party (as I sometimes do) because I have so damn much fun reading Amanda's posts that I couldn't help myself.

Reading the Paranormal Week in Review

• Kinked by Thea Harrison [Review] - Looooove this book.
• Top Off Tuesday - What a big sword you've got!
• Witch Hunt by S.M. Reine [Review] - Another S.M. Reine series for me to fangirl over!
• Galilee Rising by Jennifer Harlow [Review] - This book was an emotional roller coaster for me.
• Fire on the Island by J.K. Hogan [Review] - I was pleasantly surprised by this book.
• The Reaver by Richard Lee Byers [Review] - I liked this book.
• State of the Kelly [5] - Sometimes, it's all about me.

Globetrotting...

• On Tuesday, I revealed the cover and blurb for The Wicked Merman (Monstrous Tales #4) at KellyApple.com. Don't tell the other covers but this one is my favorite so far.
• On Wednesday, I reviewed Calamity Jayne (Calamity Jayne Mystery #1) by Kathleen Bacus over at Amanda's blog. I had confusion over how I felt about this book. CONFUSION. But I'd still read the next book in the series. So, there's that.
• Free Books Need Love, Too! weekly reviews:
• Monday - Mayan Afterglow by A.S. Fenichel
• Tuesday - GLA: Fifty Slaves of Grays by Ann L. Probe
• Wednesday - Firecracker Gone Astray by Megan Flint

News from around the blogosphere:

• *snickers* Maureen Johnson's Shining-like descent into madness while on a month long writers' retreat several years back makes for some good reading!
• Felicia (The Geeky Blogger) talks about libraries and all they can do for you. She talks specifically about digital books and audiobooks and how EASY they are to request.
• Meanwhile, Amanda talks about why she loves the library. For the record, I love the library, too. It gives me BOOOOOOKS!
• My not-so-secret alter ego will have a newsletter going out this next week which will include a never-before-seen short story about my favorite monster-obsessed lady and the green hunk who makes her scream. Sign up and you'll get that story in your hot little hands as soon as I finish writing it. Which will be soon. I SWEAR!
  

Until next week, my lovelies!
