Friday follows, hops and coming soons!

Welcome to Friday!

I don’t know about you, but it’s been a long week in this household!  Head colds and tonsillitis have made for a week that just needs to end 🙂  I love Fridays!  I get to spend Friday (and sometimes Saturday as well) wandering from blog to blog saying hi to friends and making new friends.

Before we begin with the activities some highlights from my week and some announcements for upcoming events.

I only posted three reviews this week, but they were doozies 🙂

Once Upon a Scandal by Delilah Marvelle – a new release Historical Romance

Sweet as Sin by Inez Kelley – a blow you out of the water new release!!

Brotherhood of Fire by Elizabeth Moore
 – a fairly graphic and heart warming erotica – a very unique romance!

Now for events coming up!

Next week is Romance week at Snowdrop Dreams of Books and Knit – Purl – Stitch…Read & Cook.  This will be a week of Guest Posts, Reviews,  Interviews and Giveaways.  I’m particularly pleased to let you know that I’ll be interviewed on February 9th!  This will be my first interview – I’m so excited!

There’s just over one week left for my Valentine’s Day giveaway. Click HERE to enter.

On February 16th Dr Laina Turner-Molaksi will be stopping by with a guest post.  She is promoting her new book and will be offering several VISA gift cards as a draw prizes for the tour.  Be sure to drop by and see what she has to say!

Without further ado, let’s start our list of activities with Follow Friday by Parajunkee.

Parajunkee wants to know what book we are pushing.  I have to say that I am completely impressed with Sweet as Sin by Inez Kelley.  I reviewed it this week and found myself staring at the computer screen, trying to find words to describe this book.  It’s a romance, but the hero is so tortured.  You just have to read it and see what you think! Have a look at Inez’s website to see what other bloggers are saying. HERE

The Book Blogger Hop is sponsored by Jennifer at Crazy-for-books and is a very popular weekly activity!  This gives us Book Bloggers an opportunity to share our week with friends!  Jennifer asks us this week: What are we reading and why are we reading it.  I am reading This Magic Moment by Virna DePaul.  The author has sent me this book to read and review!  I’m liking it!

For those of us in the well-seasoned category, we participate in the Follow Friday hosted by Java’s blog at Never Growing Old.  Java has a nice selection of bloggers that join in each week.

Book Blogger Tag Along Friday is sponsored by Bitten by Paranormal Romance.  This is a blog hop for those of us who review Adult Erotica/Romance.

Question of the week. Do you prefer to read erotic novella’s or novels? I prefer novellas or short novels if I’m reading erotica.

Other hops I’m cruising through this weekend.

      Hi Selena!
      Verna DePaul is a great author – if the other two are as good as the one I’m currently reading she needs better exposure! Hope you are having a great weekend!

  34. Crystal ?

    Hey Girl, hoppin on by real quick with the 18+. Late as usual. *g* I’ll read both but I prefer Novels. I like getting totally wrapped up in a story for a few hundred pages. I hope you had a great weekend!
