Saturday Sound Off (3)

Another Saturday is here! Most people look forward to Saturday as their first day off, I look forward to it as the last day of my week! Hubby works Tuesday through Saturday so my first “day off” isn’t until Sunday, but I take full advantage and sleep in as late as I can!

I started school back up again this week. This semester holds such lovely things as Criminal Justice 101, Psych 101 and Women’s Studies (race/gender issues). The Women’s Studies class scares me the most as there appears to be a TON of reading and writing. I have a feeling this is going to impede my review writing over the next few weeks, but I hope not! I just need to work on some time management skills and stay on top of my schedule and all should be good! I found Circus Ponies Notebook 3.0 and OmniFocus this morning and my organizing junkie heart went pitter patter. Hopefully these 2 programs can help keep me on top of school, kids, blog, and more!

In KindleVixen blog news…. I added a new drop down menu over in the left sidebar. Now you can search for reviews by author name. I hope it proves useful! I am thinking of adding a third one to search by genre (instead of it being in the main category list) but I am not convinced yet!

All Romance Ebooks weekly newsletter listed a few of their favorite book twitterers and I was lucky enough to be included, along with Smexy Books, Bitten By Books, Smart Bitches Love Trashy Books, Dear Author, and a few more! Make sure to check out all the free e-books they have to offer!

If you haven’t entered my contest to win a copy of Ava Gray’s Skin Game…. what are you waiting for? Get your cutie patootie over here and sign up! Deadline is Monday, January 25th. Another exciting contest coming up right after I announce the winner!

Literary Escapism is running a mini reading challenge that looks like a good time!

Has everyone heard of the League of Reluctant Adults? It’s a group of UF/PNR authors who are simply hilarious if you follow them at all. I’ve talked with quite a few of them, but I haven’t tried nearly enough of them. I keep hearing all these great things about their novels and I’m way beyond feeling that I’m missing out and my excuse of “needing to get through my review stack” is no longer acceptable. So for the month of February, I’m challenging everyone to join me and try a few of the different authors from the League.

I have been meaning to read more books from League authors ever since I finished Mark Henry’s Happy Hour of the Damned and this is the perfect opportunity! Join me, will ya?

All Things Urban Fantasy is quickly becoming one of my favorite UF blogs and she is hosting an awesome giveaway to celebrate reaching 300 followers. Go here to enter for a chance to win all four Mercy Thompson series books by Patricia Briggs. I absolutely adore this series and if you haven’t read it, you are missing out!
