"I get books to read and then ultimately share my thoughts about with my readers. As much as I want to, I can’t possibly read every book I receive. Yet, I still wanted a way to feature those books on the blog, even though it might not be in the form of a review. Problem solved! Every week I'd share the books I received that week... ones I'd bought, or gotten at the library, and ones that I'd receive to review on the blog. That way I could mention titles that might not otherwise get some face-time on The Story Siren..."
I find the same thing happening at A Backwards Story. I'm so backed up on reviews atm... That's why I like these videos!

Looks like it's a great week for you!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for The Pledge! I also can't wait to start reading reviews for it; it looks like it's going to be great!
Jac: I know, I can't wait, either!! Are you with S&S GG? I think it's so funny that the newsletter came the day I ordered my copy. I can't wait to dive in. I think I'll wait to read reviews until after I've read it, though!
ReplyDeleteThat calendar is beautiful. Love the artwork. Come visit me as I also got a lot of books this week, mostly bought. Got the Pledge a few weeks ago and also got some e-galleys, plus I got something I wasn't expecting.
ReplyDeleteYou have introduced me to a couple of titles and I have spied some that I can't wait to read. The Pledge is among many that I am anxious to read.
ReplyDeleteMacmillan is so awesome! I still can't believe that Cinder's really out now. We must chat about it soon! I keep meaning to ask how you know her--I feel like I've heard your name before.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful reading week!
When The Red Sea is Rising! I'm so jealous of everyone getting this!! ahhhh! AND you have Bitterblue?! WHAAAAT. Lucky!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy all your books! :)
I can't wait to get my copy of Liel & Po. I just ordered it today! I also got the Pledge that sounds pretty good! Great haul this week!

Oh my goodness I want the calendar! Where did you get it? I have seen those full sized art pieces, like 5x4 sizes and they are so amazing! I need to get this calendar this is going on my Christmas list!
ReplyDeleteOh I am so jealous of the event you are going to! I love multi author events, those are the craziest. It is nice to meet another fellow event junkie :D
ReplyDeleteActually when I saw your IMM 2 weeks ago? and you had gotten Sailor Moon I instantly went over to amazon and put them all on my list. I have 1 checked off my list and many more to go :) Sailor Moon rocks!!
