In Case You Missed It (1)


In In Case You Missed It I basically round up my week in terms of books, reviews and other bookish things. This will mainly focus on my own things, but I'll be likely to include links to fellow bloggers if I find something awesome :)


This week three reviews went live on the blog. First up was Touch of Power by Maria V. Snyder, which I loved! One of the few books that got a five star rating from me this year, so that's telling you something! I also reviewed Lord of the Vampires by Gena Showalter, which is the first in an adult paranormal romance collaboration between several great authors. Lastly, yesterday my review of Life's A Witch by Brittany Geragotelis went up.


Only one other bookish post to go up this week (darn you Blogger for not publishing scheduled posts!), but it was a good one: in On My Wishlist this week I drool over For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund.


Since I was in a bit of a reading funk this week, I haven't been blogging much either - but everything seems to be getting better so hopefully I'll be back in the swing of things soon! In the meantime, why don't you check out my giveaway for The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness, the first book in the amazing Chaos Walking trilogy? You have until May 1st to get your entry in and believe me, you want to read this book!


That was it for what went on at the blog, but there was more awesome to enjoy in the bookblogosphere: what about this great post by Jamie from the The Perpetual Page-Turner on failing to finish series - or keep up with them? I feel exactly the same way! Or April's post on her favorite 10 minor characters from Harry Potter? Kelly from Stacked wrote a great post on Tips and Tricks on Blogging that I really enjoyed reading.



Before I leave you, I want to say how EXCITED I am that my preorders for The Serpent's Shadow by Rick Riordan and Insurgent by Veronica Roth were released earlier this week.. Could you hear me squee?! Both are released on May 1st and they are my exceptions to the review-only rule I have in May! May is all about reading review books and writing reviews, because it's Bella & Daph's Epic Review Month! I'm very excited to be collaborating with Bella to host this event. Prepare for loads of posts in that theme! :)

  5. If you edit a scheduled post, I have found that it is best to save it to draft, and then go back into it and reschedule it from there.
