Books Galore!

Next week I'm off on my hols to the Caribbean and I'm stocking up my kindle with books by all my fav authors. I plan on spending those ten days sitting by a pool or on the beach catching up on all the reading I've missed out on this year. Before I show you what I've got in my book pile this week, I just want to thank everyone who downloaded 'Borrowed Ember (Fire Spirits #3) and launched it into the amazon bestseller lists. The comments and reviews so far have been so amazing and I'm really pleased Fire Spirits fans are enjoying the third installment. It's a huge relief, because to be honest, it was the most complicated book I've ever written, and trying to write a complicated book without making it sound complicated is a lot more complicated than you'd think.

:-p

So I'm glad it's all worked out. I have the outlines all ready to go for Darkness, Kindled (Fire Spirits #4), and when I get home from my holiday I will be hard at work on that (when I'm not working on my secret project - say what?! Yes, secret project :-p) for its release in the Fall. I already have the cover for Darkness, Kindled and am organizing a cover reveal for when I get back too. Yay!!!

Anyhoo, here's what I got in the post these last few weeks...

Borrowed Ember Swag! There's pens, posters, keyrings, the paperback, bookmarks and magnets. Remember to enter the first swag giveaway by clicking on the Once Upon a Twilight button at the top of my sidebar.


Paperback -

Chasing Magic (Downside Ghosts #5) by Stacia Kane

Squealed like a child when I opened this parcel this morning. It's not out yet in the UK, bought it from the US. I'm trying to keep it for my plane ride next week (hate flying!) but it's a bit like having Chris Hemsworth living in your house and being told you're not allowed to touch him :-(

Hardbacks -

For Darkness Shows the Stars by Diana Peterfreund


Bought this out of cover love and title love, only to discover it sounds like a great read as well!


My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick

Sounds like a great summer read!



Kindle Books -



Some newbies to me - Shadow's Edge by J.T. Geissinger, The One by Heather Self, and Along Came a Demon by Linda Welch


And stocking up on my favs for my holiday...


Blood Rites (The Grey Wolves #2), Just One Drop (GW #3), and Out of the Dark (GW #4) by Quinn Loftis


Intuition (Premonition #2), Indebted (Premonition #3) by Amy Bartol, Blood of Anteros (book one) and Blood Jewel (Book Two) by Georgia Cates, Madly and the Jackal (Madly #3) and The Reckoning (Fahllen #2)
