Lots of good stuff! Have any giveaways or great discussions happening on your site right now? Feel free to share them in the comments!
Wow, congrats on another giveaway win! I hope you love your new books. Have a great week!
I’m telling you, I’m crazy lucky right now. 🙂
Congrats on the wins!!! Hope you have a great week and enjoy the new books.
Thank you!
I love winning giveaways. Congrats on winning. It’s a fun way to snag books since we can’t buy every one we want and I’ve found some wonderful new authors that way too.
Yes! JA Huss is one author that I’ve seen around for years and have meant to read, but I probably wouldn’t have run out and bought one of her books. This will be a great way for me to give her a try!
Some of your luck actually rubbed off on me this week, so thanks! I hadn’t won anything in a while, and to win 2 Goodreads giveaways was such a coupe.
Woo hoo! I’m happy to share the luck!
Wow! You’re on quite the lucky streak!!
I know! It’s sort of crazy!
That’s an amazing win streak 🙂 I also had one years ago.. I won like 14 things during the entire year xD
And again! Congrats with the blogiversary 🙂 and thank you loads for sharing my posts!!
I enter a decent number of giveaways since I “collect” them for my Sunday Post, but a lot of times I enter halfheartedly—like, I’ll just do the one entry where you tweet it so that I’ll have it saved in my Twitter feed for later (that’s how I keep track of everything for my Sunday Post). So, I’m always surprised when I win. 🙂
Congratulations on your lucky streak. I hope it continues throughout the year!
Thanks! Wouldn’t that be something?
Congrats on your luck! That is an impressive streak! What better thing than to try the lottery? LOL
Except my husband always says he wouldn’t want to win the lottery—he thinks it would totally change you. Guess I’d better not try it. 🙂
Wow! You sure had a busy week! I hope you have a lovely week!
Yes, lots of books this week! But I’ve been good lately (at least with review books), so hopefully I’ve got it under control.
Yay for the wins. Enjoy your new books and have a great week!
Thanks, Grace!!
I’m amazed (and slightly envious) of your winning streak girl! Lol!! Hope you enjoy the wins and your newest book additions too! Congrats!
Here’s my STS
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower 🙂
It’s crazy, right? I can’t believe I’ve suddenly won so many giveaways!
Congrats on winning the giveaway! Looks like you got some interesting books! I hope you’ll enjo them all! I really like your pre-order deals section! I am never up to date with those! Have a wonderful week and happy reading!
I try to keep the pre-order deals section updated every week. There are so many great ones!
Congrats on the giveaway win! Yeah you might want to get a lottery ticket ha ha! And American Panda seems to be getting good buzz.
Honor Among Thieves does look good!
First off, thanks for the warning that this ended up in spam. Your comment wasn’t the only one in there. Sigh. And yes, I’m very excited about winning another giveaway—it’s sort of weird, but I’ll take it!
Congrats on the giveaway win! I’m in the same boat when it comes to spotty (or non-existent) luck with those 🙂 Can’t wait to read your review of The Belles! There’s been a lot of pre-release hype, so I’m trying to manage my expectations.
For some reason, I went into The Belles not expecting much—I can’t quite figure out why. But I’ve really been enjoying it!
Yay for giveaway wins!! I really liked The Ambrose Deception, so I hope you do too.
It looks super cute!
Love the cover of Deception So Dark, don’t know if I know what the first one is, I’ll have to go look it up on Goodreads. Great haul this week! I’ve got to figure out a discussion post soon. Have a good week!
The first book is Deception So Deadly—really enjoyed it!!
Ohhhh I can’t wait to see what you think of Honor Among Thieves! And a huge congratulations on winning another giveaway, yay!!
Shannon said she loved it, so I’m pretty sure I will too. Can’t wait to read it!
You got some fantastic books this week. I just finished reading The Ambrose Deception last night and it was such a fun book! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
Oh, yay! I’m excited to hear that!
And the winning streak continues! LOL That’s so awesome!
Deception So Dark has a fabulous cover. So pretty!
I recently read an amazing review of When My Heart Joins the Thousand and no I’m super excited for it. My library has it on order and I’m #1 on the hold list so it shouldn’t be long.
AND I got another giveaway win yesterday that I had forgotten about. It’s crazy!
Yeay for giveaway wins. Honor Among Thieves looks great.
I’m looking forward to it—I’ve heard great things!
