I kind of indulged myself this week with some gritty adult books in the form of paranormal romance/action.  It always makes me laugh at how frackin small adult books are.  You would think childrens books would be smaller, seen a though they are supposed to be held in small hands, but alas, publishers don't think the same as me.  maybe they are small to women can hide them more easily, or sneak them in their handbags.  Or maybe I am looking too much into the sizes of books.  This is more likely.

I really hope you all had an amazing week, and for those of you going to BEA, I hope you have a ball.  Get loads of goodies and have fun.  Here is a hug from me, seen as though I can't go because I live a few thousand miles away *smoosh*

  2. Yay, books! Where shall I start?

    I read Infinity this week and really enjoyed it. I wanted some vampires, though! And the cover is so lovely, I have complete cover lust. I mean, check out the guy on the cover!

    I'm so glad you enjoyed Raised by Wolves, I need to read it soon yes? And The Demon's Covenant.. woot! I shall be reading that little gem next week.

    The adult books look cool too. I've often wondered about the size of them.. maybe you're right! ENJOY!!

    I think it's only fair to say that S&S rock!

  11. Looks like you did really well with the review books this week. I'm seeing The Demon's Covenant all over the place and it's really reminding me that I need to read the first book in that series, which I've had in the TBR pile for a criminal length of time. Loving the sound of The Forbidden Game and Infinity. Hope you enjoy all these.
