Extra! Extra! is my weekly Sunday post featuring any and all exciting blog news.
This Sunday I'm linking up to Sunday Post hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer and also Sundays in Bed With hosted by Kate at Midnight Book Girl. Hmm.. There may be no Sundays in Bed today as Kate is doing a read-a-thon. We'll see.

VENOM! OMG I hope you love it! I just, I loved that book so much. I've been very curious about Break My Heart 1,000 Times. And I've heard mostly great things about Velveteen so I'll be checking out your review. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm excited to read it, but Break My Heart comes out on Tuesday, so I'm reading that first.
DeleteAwesome week and some great new books. Venom looks spectacular. I am going to check out the reviews I missed. Thanks for linking to http://www.caffeinatedbookreviewer.com/2012/10/the-sunday-post-sharing-blog-news-and_14.html and have a fantastic week ahead!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being the best hostess as always ;)
DeleteThe Sunday Post sheesh!
ReplyDeleteLOL. Link challenged today??
DeleteLooking forward to your reviews of Crewel and Velveteen! I liked both books and I hope you did too. I am also hoping to have more of a reading lull at the end of this year but I think it will probably be spent catching up on all the books I missed earlier.
ReplyDeleteHmmm. Shall I keep you in suspense??
DeleteYes, I'm hoping in December I can catch up on all the great books on my stack that I want to read just for fun!
Venom looks really good. I'm glad you enjoyed Mystic City. I'm interested in that one too.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my IMM & SP.
Sandy @ Somewhere Only We Know
It was great -- let me know what you think!
DeleteLove the cover of Crewel!
ReplyDeleteIt's beautiful, isn't it??
DeleteOooh ... I look forward to seeing your thoughts on Crewel! I've heard really good things about it!
ReplyDeleteSorry you're sick! I hope your cold goes away! :)
Aw, thanks! It was 6 days of excruciating sinus pain. But today I woke up and felt a lot better!
DeleteI'm so sorry you have a cold! Drink lots of OJ and get lots of rest!
ReplyDeleteI freaking loved Venom so I hope your liking it! I'm so curious to see your thoughts on Velveteen because the reviews have been all over the place!
And I'll definitely be by your I Love the 90's post because I also love the 90's!!!
I did get my 90s books read -- now I just need to write the post!
DeleteI am so behind on reading this month. It started with my reading slump in September and I am still playing catch up. November is still a little busy for me, but December is a nice slow month. Great books this week! Can't wait to see your review of Velveteen next week. I DNF'd it. :(
ReplyDeleteI know -- Sept and Oct were crazy, but I'm thinking by mid-November I can make some progress on my stack.
DeleteSoo excited for Venom!! Happy Reading!!

DeleteEeeep VENOM! xD I'll be looking forward to your review!
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic week! :)

Holly @ Words Fueled by Love
I can't wait to read it -- I'm so OCD about reading review books in order, and I keep pushing that one back.
DeleteCan't wait to see what you think of Crewel and Velveteen. Have a great week...
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's The Sunday Post
I've heard really good things about Venom, and Break Your Heart sounds so great. Hope you enjoy both!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you thought of Crewel! I'm dying to read it!
ReplyDeleteJesse @ Pretty in Fiction
Review is up!
DeleteVENOM! I need! :D Hehe. Can't wait for my pre-order to come in! Excited about Crewel as well!! Yay!
ReplyDelete<3 Inky @ Book Haven Extraordinaire
You won't have much longer to wait!
DeleteNo, it's not you, it HAS been a crazy couple of months as far as releases go! I have to go check your review of The Hallowed Ones. I had not even heard of that and now it is popping up everywhere. I'm reviewing Crewel next week as well:)
ReplyDeleteHallowed Ones is SO good!
DeleteHaha, nope, no meme today! Totally slipped my mind!! I just read Venom last week and really enjoyed, so hopefully you're liking it too!
ReplyDeleteI keep getting other books that release first. Now Venom is #3 in the queue. I'm actually reading Ask the Passengers, which I'm super-excited about!
DeleteI can't keep up the pace any month, but it's fun trying.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the best that I can :) November and Dec look a lot slower!
DeleteI LOVED Venom! Falco SWOON! Hope you enjoy it! Actually my reading as been kind of slow lately. Hoping to get out of my slump and have more free time next month.
ReplyDeleteI guess Falco is a guy in the book? You make me laugh. If you think hes' swoony, I trust you :)
DeleteI want to read Venom SO FREAKING BAD.
ReplyDeleteRead it! Surely Kim or Kate will lend you their copy!!
DeleteI just finished crewel :) Reading alternity now which is also out this week :)
ReplyDeletehttp://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16075899-alternity
I will check it out!
DeleteUgh, I also have this crappy cold! This really sucks! :P On a brighter note, there's a lot of awesome books releasing this week! I can't wait to read your review of Velveteen!
ReplyDeleteI got rid of my cold, then broke a bone in my foot. But no walking means more time for reading!
DeleteNever fear, Jen. VENOM will wait for you :) Though I am finishing up #3 as I write this, so you've been warned, heh. Oh VELVETEEN and CREWEL--both on my TBR. Apocalypsies power!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for all the comment love, peeps. I see so many of my blog and twitter friends up there :) You guys are my <3
I've heard amazing things about Venom, which is only adding to my anticipation!
DeleteLoved Velveteen and Crewel. When you've sent #3 off to your editor, hope you get a chance to dive into those!
