Week in Review: The Fierce Reads Edition

T h e  F i e r c e  R e a d s  E d i t i o n !

Yesterday, Macmillan's Fierce Reads Tour had a local stop, and I was lucky enough to be chosen as the featured blogger!  Macmillan has been gracious enough to give away a complete book package, and I picked up some loot at the event to give away to additional winners!

I've also reviewed four of the six giveaway books this week, and will review the other two this coming week!

Now, while I intended for the wrap-up and giveaway to go live today, last night when I came up to get on the computer, I managed to fall asleep while it was booting (maybe because I'd only had a few hours of sleep the night before & wasn't feeling well, but STILL!) and woke up at 8 am this morning...still fully clothed!  Normally, I wake up at 7 am on Sundays, so I didn't even have time for a video post (which I was going to do last night) or ANYTHING.

I don't have enough time for a full wrap-up/interview transcript/giveaway form/etc. before work , and I'm going out after work and won't be home until around 10 pm.  I have to be up at 6 am for work tomorrow, so I can't start working on anything until tomorrow night now.

The giveaway and wrap-up post will be live on Tuesday morning!  I truly apologize for pushing the date, but I know I don't have enough time to get it up before Monday night, and I'd rather have posts go live in the morning when I can.  I'm sorry for the wait, but do stop back!
