    1. They do look fun, don't they? The Book Smugglers just reviewed the third book in the Kat series. They were so enthusiastic, I had to try the books! And the other has been on my hold list at the library for a while, but they just got it in.

    1. Oh, nuts. Well, I don't have a Nook (or a smartphone or tablet), so I wouldn't have been able to read it anyway. I love my venerable Sony Reader, but I'm thinking of getting a Kindle just so I don't miss out on all the great freebies.

      Thanks for stopping by, Catherine!

    1. I'm so glad to hear it. To be honest, the cover grabbed me first, then the blurb, but I still wasn't entirely sure about it. It's good to know you loved it!

    2. Have you read the first book? Badlands. I loved Ever in that one. This one is from Henrietta's POV, which was amazingly well done. :)

    3. I haven't, actually. I'm hoping this one will work as an entry point to the series. If I like it, I'll definitely go back for the first one.

  6. Oooh, I still need to read Die For Me! I hope you'll enjoy it! :)

    1. Me too! The consensus in the blogosphere seems to be very positive, so I'm looking forward to it. I just don't know when I'll actually GET to it -- I've got a bunch of ARCs to get to, and my library books are dangerously close to (and in one case, over-) due.

    1. My goal for tomorrow is to finish The Sweetest Dark. I'm really enjoying it, but haven't had much time to read this weekend. Then on to about three more NetGalley titles!

  9. I read a lot of the Dorothy Sayers books years ago. They are from a different era! Clockwork Mafia looks interesting. I will look forward to your review.

    1. That's one of the things I love about the Sayers books -- they're a window into an earlier age. It might be a week or two on Clockwork Mafia, but it's in the queue!

  10. I have got to start the Revenants series! So many people really like them! Ooh, CLockwork Mafia has a really cool cover! Enjoy them all!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier!

    1. The cover is what first got my attention. Then the blurb sounded really interesting, so I decided to request it. I haven't read the first book, so I hope Clockwork Mafia stands on its own enough for me to enjoy it!

  11. The Whizz Pop Chocolate Shop has such a cute cover...I need to check into that one...and I have had that Amy Plum on my shelf for ages...need to make time for it! Happy Reading and Thanks for stopping by my Added to the Bookshelf post!

  12. I really enjoyed the first two in Amy Plum's Revenant series, hanging out for If I Should Die which I think is out in May. Started following you via Bloglovin and in answer to your question on my blog ... Bloglovin and GFC are completely unrelated :)

    1. Thank you for the follow, and the Amy Plum recommendation!

      Yes, I figured Bloglovin and GFC weren't related. I was really wondering more about how to see who is following you on Bloglovin. I get an email when someone follows, but there's nowhere on the site that lists followers by name, only a total number. I also wonder if some people are following blogs on Bloglovin that they already followed using GFC.

I love to hear what you have to say -- really! Unfortunately, I've been getting a lot of spam in addition to your wonderful comments, so I've had to turn on comment moderation. That means your comment may not post right away. I promise I'll post it -- and answer it -- as soon as I can!
