Book Haul #46 and UPDATE... it's time for a blog break :(


Hello my book friends!
As many of you know, I have been "sick" and homebound for over a month now. And during this time, I have not been able to read or spend much time on the internet since it makes me dizzy and more tired.
I have not been able to post much or keep up with my reading and blogging schedule, and I sincerely apologize for this. And I am SO very sorry for the tours, updates, etc. that I have missed during this time too.

It's finally time for me to admit that I need to take a permanent blogging break.

I don't know how long it will be for. Maybe a few more weeks... but it could be months :(

I miss you all so very much! The book community is one of the most caring and understandable communities I have ever been a part of! And I truly appreciate all of you that have reached out to me with concern!

I am really missing my books and reading time! My family has never seen me not reading or carrying around a book, they know I must be feeling really crummy not to, and it hurts them just as much. I have the best husband, kiddos, parents, sister and brother-in-law ever! I don't know how I would manage without them all!...

I am so sad to have also been missing out on a few local signings and events, mainly Jen Calonita's 'The Grass is Always Greener' signing this past week - she is such a fab author, you should all check out her Belles Series pronto!
And I'm also sad to finally have to say that I will probably not be up to going to BEA this year. It is such a privilege to be allowed to attend. And I am going to miss seeing so many wonderful faces this year.

Also, a quick shout out to Mike at The Subtle Chronicler! He is a great book blogger and reviewer and deserves much more attention than he has received. I asked him to review a few books for me and he was so sweet to say yes! Here is his review of The Namesake by Steven Parlato... please stop by and leave a comment! Thank you! and thank you Mike for your help!!!

Last but not least... I have received an amazing stack of books this month from so many wonderful 
publishers, giveaways, swaps, etc! (I'm participating in Stacking the Shelves.)

For Review:
Screwed by Laurie Plissner (YA) from Media Press/F+W Media
- Triangles by Kimberly Ann Miller (YA) from Spencer Hill Press 
- The Resurrectionist: The Lost Work of Dr. Spencer Black by E.B. Hudspeth (YA) from Quirk Books

From Giveaways:
- The Elite by Kiera Cass (YA) a win from Mundie Moms
- Life After Theft by Aprilynne Pike (YA) a win from Mundie Moms 
While He Was Away by Karen Schreck (YA) a win from Once Upon a Prolgue 
 - Golden (ARC) by Jessi Kirby (YA) a win from Riffle Books 

From Swaps:
- Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen from SuSuScribes 
- The Boys from Brazil by Ira Levin from SuSuScribes
The Boyfriend App (ARC) by Katie Sise (YA) from Mod Podge Books
Imposter (Slide #2) (ARC) by Jill Hathaway (YA) from Mod Podge Books
The Secret Sisterhood of Heartbreakers (ARC) by Lynn Weingarten (YA) from Mod Podge Books

 - Etiquette & Espionage (Finishing School #1) by Gail Carriger (YA) a trade 

I purchased:

A HUGE THANK YOU to all!!! 

I hope to see you all very soon!

Beehive Book Haul and News #45: 2 Week Update Edition


So, it's been over 2 weeks since I've posted anything worthwhile... I'm still "sick in bed" and it totally sucks.
And what's worse, I haven't been able to read {sobs!} I get headaches and then feel dizzy when I try to read a few pages, kinda not worth the pain right now :(  
This means, unfortunately, I'm not going to have many reviews posted for a while. 
This also means, that I may be looking for someone to help out with all the review books that I have received (mostly middle grade few YA). It's a thought that I have had for a few months now, and now due to circumstances, this idea sounds mighty good. Would be nice to partner up with someone, even if it is just for a temporary amount of time.

I hope you guys have all had a great week in books :)

This is what I have received in the last 2 1/2 weeks...

Beehive Book Haul and News #44: The HUGE Middle Grade Edition


I hope you have all had a wonderful week in books :) 

Update: Still feeling sicky :(
So far, I have a Vitamin D deficiency, not to be confused with Vitamin B which is what I've been told for many many years. Lack of Vitamin D will cause extreme fatigue, joint aches and pains, dizziness and headaches. All of which I have been experiencing for a long time, but even more so recently. I have something else that is going on too, nothing to worry about though :)
I have my Vitamin D pills, medicine and a good diet to follow now! I hope to start gaining my energy back within the next few weeks. I haven't been able to read because of the dizziness/tiredness :( But I hope that changes soon, makes me so sad to not be able too. Can't wait to see my blog back up and running to the way it was! (This post took me 3 days to put together, lol!)
Miley update: She's up to 95%! And a pain in my butt, lol! She's been spoiled and is in high demand of attention... any walkers out there?! ;) 

Thank you all so much for your kindness and patience! 
I do have a few posts for this week, so I hope you all visit back soon!
