News, Winners, Sales & Freebies 6-9-13

Wow, I go away to Disney, and a ton of stuff happens while I’m gone! So, I am going to give you a little update on some recent developments both in the book world and my world, as well as announce my latest winners!

I expected to read 3-4 books while I was gone. I finished one. But since it was an awesome one, I’m OK with that. RK Lilley’s Bad Things will be reviewed Tuesday on release day. I have SUCH a crush on Tristan. This is a spin off of the Up in The Air Trilogy, but it does stand alone. And I must say, I may like this series even more. So get this book!
My blogoversary was yesterday, and I am working on a week-long celebration after this post.
I am busy checking out hotels and restaurants for Wicked Book Weekend 2, and the restaurant for Wicked Book GNO after Book Bash while I’m in town visiting Disney. I LOVE Crave, and I think I will do the signing there next year as well.
Epilogue by CJ Roberts is releasing a few days early!!! June 11th. And holy crap, what a great release day that is going to be! (See the Dark Duet series order).

Here is what Sylvia Day had to say about Crossfire #4:

“To avoid what happened with the shuffling of REFLECTED IN YOU’s release date, we’re going to refrain from announcing a date until the book is in production and everything is Set. In. Stone… As always, I’ll keep you updated every step of the way. For now, I’m still working on addressing everything that went wrong previously and some things aren’t yet finalized. THANK YOU for your patience (and impatience) and support!”

I still haven’t had a chance to read Entwined with You, but I do intend to as soon as I can. You can also read more of what she had to say here.
