Author Interview & Giveaway:
I was really excited to have Juliana Stone here with me this week to talk about her new release Black Legacy & her upcoming release His Darkest Hunger. She very kindly offered to give on of my readers a copy of Black Legacy. The giveaway is ending today at 8pm GMT so there is still time for any last minute entries - click here to enter & read the interview. You can also find my review of Black Legacy here.

What I'll be reading next:
I didn't seem to get as much time for reading this week as I usually do - Thorn Queen was due back at the library on Wednesday and I'm going to be taking it back tomorrow so that will be my first library fine of the year (& hopefully the last but I won't count on it LOL). Hopefully I'll be more on track this week but the only reading goal I'm going to set myself is Ashes of Midnight by Lara Adrian - it seems like that has been on my list every week for ages!

My other half has promised me an eBook reader for my birthday in a few weeks so I'm really excited to have some books ready to read when it arrives! These both look great & I'm looking forward to reading them.
I also won a giveaway at Books At Midnight from author LM Preston and am really looking forward to reading Explorer X-Alpha.

What are you reading?
You are doing great on your reading challenges! I hope you're enjoying The Lightning Thief. My son and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI've heard a lot of people liked the Percy Jackson books-how are you liking it?
ReplyDeleteRight now I'm reading nothing-I'm more in the process of finding another book to read.
I haven't read any of Richelle Mead's books for adults. I have Vampire Academy but I haven't finished it yet.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Lightning Thief. The whole series was funny and a quick read.
I have a feeling you will complete your challenges well before the year is over. I am struggling with some of mine.
Here is what I'm reading.
You are very organised with your reading challenges, well done. Happy reading. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/02/its-monday-what-are-you-reading-15.html
