My Update

Which Is None

I had a very scary emergency come up with the princess and all things bookish stopped. I’m still getting things sorted out but everything has calmed down enough for me to try and pick back up this week. So fingers crossed I can finish 2 books this week!


This week we are giving away a ARC copy of

Soundless

 

Yep, that’s right! Soundless by Richelle Meade! Just like last week you have until FRIDAY to get your status links in the linky below and a winner will be announced with next Saturday’s update! Speaking of winners, (see what I did there?) the winner of the Six of Crows ARC is Alicia of A Kernel of Nonsense! How about a huge congrats to Alicia?!

  1. I hope things get better for you Octavia! I combined weeks 1 and 2 together for a mid-month update. I’m happy with myself so far! ๐Ÿ™‚ I won’t be able to make it to the Twitter chat unfortunately, but I’ll read it when I can.

    Take care!

  2. Real Life got in my way as well. Hope the princess is feeling better. I only managed to read two books this week, I’m hoping that this week I will be able to read more. This week was extremely busy.

  3. I hope everything is okay! Soundless didn’t even make my ARC August initial goal list but it should have been on there haha

  4. Eep I hope everything is okay now, Octavia! I’m reading three books this week and I’m so excited already! Unfortunately, I won’t be around for the Twitter Chat (it’s 5:30 am, my time) but I’ll try read through your tweets later! Have fun, y’all ๐Ÿ˜€

  5. Oh, my goodness, that’s me! Thank you so much ๐Ÿ˜€ And I’m not even ashamed to admit I saw that an Alicia had won and appreciated the fact that another Alicia existed (I don’t come across too many) before realizing it was me. Lol. Just let me know how I can contact you with shipping info because I don’t think you mentioned it. Thank you once again!

  6. I need to read that Ellie Marney series. I hear good things and it sounds like something I would like. Perhaps I’ll marathon it when the last book comes out.

    P.S. I linked up my update but I’m not entering the giveaway. Just sharing, because I hear that’s caring.

  7. I really hope your princess is feeling better! Family comes before books. Ahhh, I am so sorry I won’t be able to participate in the Twitter chat! I am in Italy, so 8 am EST is 2 am, my time. I have a hot date with my bed at that time. ๐Ÿ™‚

  9. I have been read a lot of ARCs but sadly they are the ones I want to get to : / so much conflict but still reading so I guess all is well.

    I am sorry that real life happened :/ no fun! I couldn’t make the twitter party – we were having our Fantasy Football draft ๐Ÿ™‚ So many things!

  10. I’m so sorry about your emergency! I hope everything is okay now.

    I’ve still only finished four ARCs this month but I’m hoping with the readathon this week that I’ll get several more finished. Also, I just ordered the first book in that Ellie Marney series and I’m so excited for it! I’m glad you liked it.

  11. Sorry I missed the chat last night. I was swamped with Pitch Wars stuff, which is why I also didn’t read this past week. Boo ๐Ÿ™ But I’ll start up again as soon as I hit submit today!

  12. Oh my gosh I have been so lazy with putting updates up on this one! I had no idea there were chats and stuff either lol! I’ve heard great things about Every Move. Fingers crossed your emergency all worked out!
