I am officially on vacation! I guess it is really more of a staycation since I am not going anywhere but I don’t have to go to work which is the part that I am happy about. This past week has been pretty busy. We picked my daughter up from camp in Bloomington, Indiana on Saturday just to drop her off at drum major camp on Sunday morning. She came home from the second camp Wednesday evening. I think my husband and I need a week just to recover from trying to keep up with her schedule!
Fury by Rachel Vincent (Edelweiss)
Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews (won @ Books of My Heart)
The Accidentals by Sarina Bowen (Author)
Man Hands by Sarina Bowen and Tanya Eby (Kindle Purchase)
I am really excited about this week’s new additions. I loved the first two books in the Menagerie trilogy and I cannot wait to see how things wrap up in Fury, although I will be sad to see things come to an end. I was lucky enough to win a copy of Iron and Magic from Anne at Books of My Heart. It is Ilona Andrews so you know I have to read that one right away. I have recently discovered Sarina Bowen’s writing and I cannot wait to start reading The Accidentals and I couldn’t resist picking up Man Hands for only $0.99.
Enjoy the Staycation!!
OMG! Fury!!! Edelweiss turned me down for that and left me in a fit of tears. I still have a request on Netgalley that I am holding out on but I can't figure out why the same publisher likes be better on Netgalley than on Edelweiss. I must be missing something with my account but I can't figure out what! I know I read Spectacle early last year too, I think it was with Netgalley, so I am keeping my fingers crossed they will eventually approve my request there. I requested it what feels like ages ago!! Lol.
Happy Reading!!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

I was really surprised to be approved for Fury so quickly on Edelweiss. I did request it on NetGalley a while ago and that request is still sitting there. I can't wait to start reading it!
Hope you enjoy your staycation-you deserve a nice rest!
Thanks, Chuckles!
Yes, sometimes it doesn't matter if you even go anywhere as long as its not to work. LOL Oh, you got a lovely haul. I want to read the new Hugh book by the Andrews too. Congrats on the win! Yes, Bowen's books are fun. 🙂
Enjoy your week and have a Happy 4th!
I was really needed a break from work so I am thrilled to be able to stay home this week!
Enjoy your vacation! Have a good week.

Thanks, AJ!
Fury sounds great. Have a good staycation.
Thank you!
Have fun on your staycation hope you read lots of great books.
I have a few books lined up for my time off and so far so good!
Your daughter sure sounds like one busy girl. But it sounds like fun. Enjoy to those new books. I am curious about The Accidentals.
It is crazy how busy this kid is. I know she is having fun but sometimes I think she just need to take a break!
That is a lot of camp! Doesn't she get tired? But then kids are kids
I don't know if she gets tired or not. She is going to West Virginia with a friend next week. Crazy busy!
Awesome haul of books this week. I hope you enjoy them.

Thanks, Grace!
I just had me a staycation and it was glorious. I hope yours is too:)
I am really looking forward to some time off! We have a few boring things to do like doctor appointments but lots of free time 🙂
Enjoy your vacation! I like a good staycation sometimes. 🙂 And ooh you got Fury! I just read Menagerie recently, and I need to get to Spectacle!
I loved Menagerie and Spectacle so I am really excited about Fury. I might have to try to fit it into my vacation reading 🙂
Hope you have a great vacation and enjoy your new books!!
Thanks, Grace!
I am so jealous that Sarina Bowen sends you books. She is one of my favorite romance writers. You cannot go wrong with any of her books. I read 15 books by her, and really enjoyed them all.
I guess it is really her publicist. You should sign up to be included on her website. I just found her books earlier this year but I am loving them so far!
Glad you are taking a good break! Hope you enjoy all your books!

Mary my #SundayRoundup #25!
I am really looking forward to some time off!
Enjoy your staycation – I'm on one too! Hope we have lots of fun and relaxation and get lots of good books read.
I hope you have a nice time while you are off, Barb!
Iron and Magic looks so so good! I love that cover! And I am so excited for Fury! I still need to read Spectacle, but I loved Menagerie. Happy reading!
I had a great time with Iron and Magic. I fell in love with Menagerie and listed Spectacle just as much. Fury is one of my most anticipated books of the year so I am thrilled to get a copy so early.
I'd be okay with a staycation – you're right, it's the no work that sounds lovely. 🙂 I hope you get lots of reading in!

I love being able to just stay at home. Work is no fun at all 🙂
Staycations are the best. I'm "off" until the 9th (even though I work from home) and so happy about it. lol Hope yall can get some rest!
Taking some time off is always a good thing.
We've got a staycation coming up this week and I'm looking forward to it! It does take some planning though or we end up just doing chore stuff around the house! Great books and I love getting a book I really want in ARC. Have a great week!
We have a lot of chore type things to do while we are off. I just am happy to get the chance to get a few things done and not worry about work.
Yay for new books! All of yours look good, Carole. Especially the Ilona Andrews' one. I hope you enjoy your staycation! I am off all next week, but we are going to visiting my mom up north. I had originally planned to take tomorrow off, but ended up agreeing to work. Now I'm regretting it. It would have been an early start to my vacation. I desperately need a break from work. Soon enough . . . I hope you have a great rest of the week!
Nothing worse than regretting something that you agreed to do. I have been there several times. I hope you enjoy your time off!
