Happy Saturday! This Saturday Sound Off is going to be slim pickings, I have had a super slow reading week. I have been a baaad baaaad blogger this week (cue Chris Isaak music). I am almost finished with Battle of the Network Zombies, but life outside of books took over this week! I did get a couple nights out and a few drinks here and there tho – some much needed stress relief.

Upcoming for KindleVixen

First, a small group of us on twitter were talking about losing weight and came up with the absolutely genius plan to use twitter as a support group. That was followed by an equally smart idea of creating our own blog about it. So, twitloss will be coming to the blogging world on Monday, watch your tweets for the link!

Even more fabulous upcoming news? The talented and super evil author, Rachel Vincent, will be answering my questions here on KindleVixen on MONDAY! Make sure to mark it on your calendars or I will have to chase you down. Oh, she also posted to her blog this week one of the best book trailers I have seen yet. Well done Mrs. Vincent. Well done. (WARNING, contains PREY spoilers!)

Around the Blog World

Dirty Sexy Books (love the blog name!) posted a neat post, The Ten Biggest Mistakes Authors Make on Their Websites. I giggled a little at number 1 and found myself nodding along with all of it. Great post!

Danielle at Alpha Reader posted an all encompassing look at Rachel Caine’s Weather Warden series. I agree with all of it and highly suggest you check it out for motivation to start the series if you haven’t already.

Nat at WickedLilPixie posted “I buck the trend” this week – a post about the growing trend to affiliate with other book bloggers. I agree with her post and wrote my own novel of thoughts in her comments.

Keith Melton posted some really weird and creepy Unicorn photo on his blog this week. I have no idea why I am even linking it other than it left me speechless. I think its his attempt to distract us from noticing his absence on twitter this week. How are we supposed to harass him for super secret book info if he isn’t online 24 hours a day?!?!

All Things Urban Fantasy posted a great recap of new releases upcoming for March. I am especially looking forward to Silver Borne, Mind Games, The Devil’s Playground, Succubus Shadows (seth!), and the Mage in Black.

Katiebabs pointed out that there are only 2 more months until Lover Mine’s release and we are all hoping for some serious Team Qhuay loving. I am so stealing her button, which was made by sparklybearsy.

No books read and reviewed this week – I blame it on twitter.

Goodness, this Saturday Sound Off is almost becoming a biweekly thing instead of weekly. I will do my best to work on that Things have still been hectic around here – math exams, psychology and women’s studies homework…. and 2 little girls who feel i spend too much time studying. I am looking forward to summer! What, its only February? shoot. Maybe I would get more done if the drug called twitter wasn’t so accessible….. especially since I rewarded myself with an iPhone this month. Now that I can take all of you with me everywhere… its awfully hard to ignore the temptation. Did you know they make an app for iPhone that makes it easier to type and walk at the same time? Not kidding, they do.

In techy blog stuff, I added a footer to the page to show off popular posts and stuff. The calendar/archive widgets probably won’t stay but they are there for now… until I find something more interesting. I will be working on updating the free book page this week.

KV is easy, she gets around…

This week I found myself roped into sharing my love/hate of certain book characters over at WickedLilPixie. I also guest posted my review of Anton Strout’s newest book, Dead Matter, over at Fantasy Dreamer’s Ramblings.

If you have been anxiously waiting for Kindle to make it to the Blackberry, wait no more…. it is finally here! Amazon now has a Kindle for Blackberry app here.

Around the Blog World

Kim Harrison posted to her blog about the fact that the newest Hollows book, Black Magic Sanction, will be delayed in ebook format. Amazon has the kindle version listed as available April 6, compared to hardcover on February 23rd. But hey, its only $8.65 if you preorder it and don’t mind waiting more than a month for it. Hear that..? Its my very large groaning sigh. oh and that noise? me banging my head on my desk. It seems there will be some sort of enhanced ebook available through iTunes…. but then you are stuck only reading it on an iphone or ipod touch…. no thanks. Books on board has Black Magic Sanction in ebook format, supposedly releasing on Feb. 23rd, if you don’t mind paying a bit more for it here. Of course its in secure Adobe format so you won’t be able to read it on your kindle unless you *shhhh*crack it*shhh*.

On the note of ebooks and the drama around them, Karen Ranney posted a really great blog on ebooks and pricing. Check it out, it is worth it.

The Qwillery is doing its best effort to Save Amanda Feral and giving away 2 copies of Happy Hour of the Damned. Stop by for your chance to win. I love me some Mark Henry…. look for my review of the newest Amanda book this week.

Keith Melton is answering all of his readers questions over at Barnes & Nobles book club this month. Come on over and take advantage…. I know I have!
