“I accepted more review books, and I may have gone a little over-board with the Amazon freebies. Books are like a comfort food, when I don’t feel good, I hoard books. Now I just need to read them all…”
I hear you. When I had my first lung surgery this summer, I was the same way. I hope the pain eases up soon. You had a great week on the blog; I really should get over here more often.

Hi Heather! Thanks bunches for visiting my blog. I had to stop in and enter your giveaways especially the one for Iced! Can’t wait for that one. I was so tempted to buy a bunch of $.99 books, but I am working on cutting back the pile so I am refraining. Have a great week thanks for the awesome giveaways!

I am the same way about books and my mood…you can tell if I’m in a terrible mood because the amount of Kindle downloads increases to an insane amount. I do hope you start feeling better though!
Thank you for stopping by and I really hope your week improves!

You got some fantastic books! I’m sorry to hear about your surgery. I’m also recovering from a broken foot, and it looks like I’ll also be having foot surgery end of the month. boo surgery
I wish you a quick recovery! Yay for Pretty When She Kills! I love Rhiannon Fraters writing, and these books got me back into the vampire genre 
I hope you enjoy all the books you got! Happy reading.
