My Week in Instagram~ a weekly recap and mailbox post

Happy Sunday everyone!

This post is in my week according to instagram. It's mostly the books I got but I take random pictures sometimes too.  Also, make sure you follow me on instagram, I follow back!

Okay, so before I get to the good stuff, for those who haven't seen it yet, my business is celebrating being open for one year by giving away $50. I just need you to fill out a form to be a tour host or reviewer (there's lots of options) and you're entered!  If you already signed up (prior to this giveaway) to be a host, please fill out this new form, I'm breaking things down into lists and categories so I can contact people for the right reasons.  You don't have to have a blog to sign up. Check it out for all the details.

 

Moving on...

This was epic book week!

First of all, I probably got this a couple weeks ago now, but I always forget to feature my ebooks since I don't usually take pictures of them. This is one I did, because it is so, so, so unbelievably good!

Shadows of Asphodel by Karen Kincy is an adult (or new adult) dieselpunk.  It blew. my. mind!  I'll be featuring it here soon.  Well, in October anyway.

Next up is what I got last Saturday (after I did my Sunday post) when I went to Powells.  I met up with some of my friends and we did a book exchange. But I also sold some of my books to Powells and got some new ones!

These are the ones I 'bought' (though they feel free since I just used my store credit).  

And these are the ones I got from my friends.

And continuing in that epic way, I got all my books for Wordstock, the amazing book festival coming to Portland NEXT WEEKEND!  Two days of bookish fun folks!  I'm a volunteer, so I'll be there both days. Hopefully I'm able to get all these signed!

And really, this stack is nothing compared to ALL the books I have to get signed. I started hauling them out of my shelves and getting them ready.  There's a LOT!  Maybe next week I'll show a picture of that (or the week after, once they are signed).

For review I got some books from Harper Teen.  I already had an ARC of No Angel and I can't wait to read it!

I hope everyone had a great book week!  

I do have some other things to share. First of all, I have review slots open for a few books.  I put up pages for them, but I know not everyone sees those right away.  So here they are:

The Queen of the Realm of Faerie series. I'm putting up the omnibus here because that's what available in paperback, but you can also get the books individually in ebook. This is YA (14+) fantasy and we're looking for reviews before mid January.  Check out the page for all the info and to sign up.

True Love’s First Kiss:

In the Enchanted World, true love’s first kiss is magic.

The Queen of the Realm of Faerie is a fantasy fairy tale series that bridges the Mortal and Enchanted worlds. The main character, Melia, is an eighteen-year-old half-faerie, half-mortal. She lives in Illialei, a country in the Enchanted World, with her two sisters and their mother. Melia’s father has been exiled to the Mortal World, and her best friend is a pixie.

When the story opens in the first book, Melia is troubled by her dark moon visions, gossip she overhears about her parents at the local market, and the trauma of living among full-blooded faeries with wings—she doesn’t have any.

As the series unfolds, the historic and mystical forces that shape Melia’s life are revealed. Each step of her journey—to find the place where she belongs—alters her perceptions about herself, deepens her relationships with others, and enlarges her world view.

True Love’s First Kiss is a compilation of the first three books in this five-book series.

Another brand new one up is Prophecy of the Most Beautiful by Diantha Jones. A YA Fantasy/Mythology novel. We're looking for reviews only through mid July (at the latest).  Check out the details and sign up HERE.

She has a destiny so great that even the gods fear her.
Constant hallucinations and the frequent conversations with the voices in her head, have earned eighteen-year-old Chloe Clever the not-so-coveted title of "Whack Job" in her home town of Adel, Georgia. With the onslaught of prescription medications and therapists threatening to push her over the edge, she wishes for a life far away from the one she has, a life where she is destined to be more than the butt of everyone's jokes and mockery.

Be careful what you wish for has never rung more true.

After living through an attack from her worst nightmare, she awakens to find herself far from home, surrounded by glorious riches and servants…and a few demigods who enjoy killing things. Upon learning that her favorite rockstar is an Olympian god, she is thrust into her new life as the Oracle of Delphi, the prophesier of the future, and the great Pythia that the gods have been anxiously awaiting to arrive for centuries. Setting out to fulfill the prophecy she has been given and to keep her family safe from a demigod Princess that wants her dead, Chloe learns of how great she is to become, all the while fighting mythical monsters, evading divine assassins and trying to outwit the ever-cunning Greek gods who harbor secrets of their own. In the hopes of discovering the Most Beautiful and the truth of her destiny, she strives to uncover the mysteries of the demigod Prince who has sworn to protect her with his life…and threatens to win her heart in the process.

 

I'm also still looking for reviewers for Shadow of Time by Jen Minkman, a Young Adult/New Adult, Paranormal Romance
