I had totally planned on getting to this post yesterday, but homework and the kids took up too much time! My classes are kicking my butt right now and I took the kids out for a magic show and dinner last night. Late is better than never, so here I am, with my weekly wrap up.
My efforts to be organized this week….not successful. I will try again this week. Biggest fail? Actually cooking dinner every night. After a long day of kid wrangling and homework and volunteering at schools the last thing I want to do is make dinner and we have all been suffering because of it. But I need to get on top of it, so that is my goal this week!
The big blog world news this week –well besides MacMillan showing its ass and going toe to toe with Amazon — COVERS! There have been a multitude of covers released this week. I was going to post them all but Jackie over at Literary Escapism totally saved me some time and posted a cover wrap (and more!) here. Besides lots of new covers posted, we got some revised covers revealed.
Vicky Pettersson’s Cheat the Grave loses the sulking piece of man candy and some tattoos.

Kelley Armstrong’s Waking the Witch also gets a new look, less motorcycle, more Savannah. I didn’t really have a preference at first but the more I see the new cover, the more I like it better.

Additionally Richelle Mead posted that the Georgina Kincaid series is getting a cover makeover for the mass market edition of the series. I LOVE the new covers, so much better than the originals. Have no fear, the original cover style will continue on with the trade paperbacks.

I will be posting over at FictionVixen‘s place this week about my “love story.” She is doing a whole month about love, make sure to stop by!
If you haven’t entered my contest to win an ebook copy of Crux by Moira Rogers….go ahead and click here now! You will not regret it! Deadline is tomorrow, February 8th. Don’t forgot that Moira Rogers will be answering all my evil questions on February 9th, please stop by and help me harrass celebrate them!
Speaking of the talented team of Moira Rogers, the Bree half of that duo posted one of my absolute favorite author takes on book piracy here! She is one smart cookie. Read it, you won’t be sorry.
By the way, the re-release of Happy Hour of the Damned is upon us and I hear that Mark Henry is making people pee themselves with laughter over on Bitten by Books. You can find a link to video blogs and interviews here.
