Amberkatze's Book Blog (original)

Sunday, 6 April 2008

It is that time of the week again. The time of the week I have a chance to go back and check all those cool sites and see what has been going on. I usually end up making a few posts on Sunday about various articles I have found but this week I decided I would try putting it all in one post!

Firstly my news! I am now reviewing for Paranormal Romance. If you go over to their review webiste you will already see 3 reviews by moi! Midnight Reign by Chris Marie Green, Happy Hour of the Damned by Mark Henry and my favourite read of this month and contest prize - La Vida Vampire by Nancy Haddock.

In other news - As some of you may have noticed I am up to my 107th read! That means that the contest to win a copy of La Vida Vampire by Nancy Haddock will close very soon! I said the contest would stay open until I had read my 110th book so hopefully sometime this week I can hit my goal and pick a winner! You can find all the contest details on the top of the right sidebar.

I have decided to run a new contest at least once a month. The prize will always be a book and a new release so please come back and keep playing ;)

I was just over on Suburban Vampire and voted in the newest poll! I love visiting there every week and seeing what kind of new poll there is. The owner of the blog needs some names of favorite vampire/non-vampire couples to make her poll next week. So maybe pop over there and help her if you can think of some to add. I have to admit that I know loads but my mind went blank when I went to post!

Also while over on Suburban Vampire I saw this - 10 Reasons to Date a Vampire, by Karen Chance and had to post it here. Very funny! Maybe some of you can think of some other good reasons to date a vampire? Or maybe reasons not to date one?

Oh and anyone following Torchwood! Wow!!! Did they make you cry??? Oh and James Marsters rocked! I couldn't believe the gay scenes at the beginning of the series but boy that guy is hot!!! I hope Torchwood bring him back...and film in in May...in Cardiff....my hometown...when I am visiting...

Maybe I need to go hang around the hub instead of my family when I visit home...

Congrats on doing the reviews at Paranormal Romance! :) I've been humming and hawing over whether I should as one of the staff members there put a shout out for reviewers on one of the groups we're both in.

Good grief Amber, I wish I could read as fast as you apparently can! LOL! Did you really read all three of those on the 5th, or just hadn't posted about them yet?!

Congrats on being a reviewer for Paranormal Romance, I shall have to go check you out! ;)
