Hanging Around the Blogs: News You May Have Missed (5)



I love Chuckles Book Cave's feature "Around the Blogs with Chuckles" so much that I'm going to do one too. There are never enough hours in the day to be a creeper on all the blogs and social media outlets so here's a recap of some great posts, articles and news tidbits you may have missed while you were out living your life.

      I think November is sci-fi month. A lot of bloggers are celebrating it. I don't read very much sci-fi but maybe something will turn my head.

    Valancourt has had it a bit rough. I signed up for their newsletter so maybe I can snag some of those deals. :)

      Amazon is totally messing with them. It makes no sense at all.

    Horror seems to be really making a comeback - not that it went away but more that people are appreciating it and spreading the word more I guess. Awesome resources.

      I love it. It seems to be booming. It's nice to have so many people talking about horror instead of a small group but it's murder on my wallet.

I tried this meme last year and though it was incredibly fun I never revisited it because I spent the rest of the year breaking my promises to myself and reading ARC's and review copies instead of my TBR pile.I hope to change it this year and read at least one book a month from the TBR stacks. Michelle @  Because Reading  created and hosts the meme. Here they are, three actual books randomly plucked from one of my piles. Perfect for the Valentines season, right?!  Please feel free to let me know if any of these are not worth reading! I am determined to learn how to DNF properly. The Books              I actually picked these out for a Twitter post in January and meant to do the meme then because the Twitter-verse wasn't interested in my tbr pile.
