April Happenings

I've been slacking a bit on my blogging in the past couple weeks...well, except for my read-a-thon updates. Anyway I just thought I'd let you know what I was up to last month.

Books read but not yet reviewed 
(book names are linked to Goodreads, Author names are linked to their websites or blogs)


Intangible & Intuition by J. Meyers
Fifty Shades of Grey (Fifty Shades #1) by E.L. James
Sugar Rush (Cupcake Club #1) by Donna Kauffman
The Next Full Moon by Carolyn Turgeon
Werewolf in Seattle (Wild About You #3) by Vicki Lewis Thompson
Chocolicious by Geraldine Solon
All U Can Eat by Emma Holly
Cinder by Marissa Meyer
Shade by Jeri Smith-Ready

Fifty Shades of Grey and All U Can Eat are Erotica and I haven't decided if I'll be reviewing them here.


Book Signings Galore

I went to two big signings at Turn The Page Bookstore in Maryland last month. That's a total of 6 hours of driving but I made it well worth my while by stocking up on awesome signed books. And don't worry, I bought a couple extra signed books to use as giveaways :)

Some of the other authors I had the pleasure of meeting:



 

At the second signing I decided it would be fun to start 
collecting signatures on this tote bag as well.



The third signing of the month was last night. I went to Cupboard Maker Books for a midnight book signing. The signing was for Jeri Smith-Ready's newest release, Shine. Again, I bought an extra copy of Shine to giveaway...and Jeri was nice enough to give me some extra signed swag that I will also be giving away in the future.



Unfortunately, I forgot to take my tote for her to sign. 
All the more reason to go to another one of her signings ;-)



That's all I have to report for now. Thanks for reading!

    Aaargh! I'm jealous. I love book signings, and I really love Nora Roberts' book--Midnight on the Bayou. It's awesome. Sounds like you've had a great time.Judith

      Thanks for the blog & twitter follows, I'm following you also :)

      I liked them both too but for very different reasons of course, haha.
