Around the Bookish World: News Week-in-Review

This week, the news has been overshadowed by the sad passing of Urban Fantasy author Jennifer Rardin who sadly died this past Monday. She was the author of the Jaz Parks series, which is a high octane and fast paced Urban Fantasy series, with one of the most engaging heroines I have ever read. We from Book Lovers Inc are deeply saddened by her loss and send out our deepest condolences to her family and friends.
To pass on your condolences and thoughts you can post them at here at Jennifer’s blog.

We also plan to do a tribute and giveaway post along with several other bloggers as part of a blog roll/tour later next week – so keep your eyes peeled for that, because if you have not picked up a book by Jennifer Rardin yet here is your chance, …

We have a new Book Lover!

Hey everyone! We are happy to introduce another addition to our team today. Please give a warm welcome to Melissa:

Hey I’m Melissa a.k.a The Spellbound Book Lover. I have a confession to make. I may be a little addicted to reading. Okay okay I’m very addicted! I’m a 26 year old Mum of one and while my son is not yet able to read he has got one helluva collection of books already! I work full time in administration but would prefer to work in either a library or bookstore instead but the chances of me actually working would be slim to none if I was surrounded by books all day 😉 Ever since I was little I’ve been big on reading, so much so that I remember a number of times being told to go to sleep and hiding under the covers with …

Twelfth Grade Kills (The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod #5) by Heather Brewer

Vlad’s running out of time. The Elysian Council has given him weeks to live, and that’s if the Slayer Society doesn’t kill him – along with all the citizens of Bathory – first. Then there’s the issue of Vlad’s father, who may or may not still be alive after all these years, and oh yeah, that tiny little detail in the Pravus prophecy about Vlad enslaving Vampirekind and the human race. So much for college applications.

In this epic finale to Heather Brewer’s heart-stopping Chronicles of Vladimir Tod, dark secrets will be revealed, old friends will become enemies, and warm blood will run cold. Just be careful it isn’t yours.

Blogtour Keta Diablo + Giveaway

Welcome to the blog tour for Where The Rain Is Made. Keta and I are glad you stopped by.BLI: Thank you, Keta, for agreeing guest blog at Book Lovers, INC.

Keta: And thank you for agreeing to host my blog tour for Where The Rain Is Made.

BLI: When did you seriously sit down, and say to yourself, I’m going to write a novel?

Keta: I really never sat down and said, “I’m going to write a novel.” I wrote a sensual historical romance based on a family history story, one slow chapter at a time. When I was finished, a few friends encouraged me to submit. I knew very little about the craft when I wrote it, but submitted to a very small press. With a lot of help from one of their editors, the book was eventually ready for publication. And …

The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?

Like we decided a dew weeks ago we will now choose our favorite covers in a genre for the next few editions of ”The Good, the Bad and the Are-You-Kidding-Me?” and tell you why we chose them. It would be awesome if you could tell us which cover in this genre is your favorite and perhaps we will all find some new to us cover candies we can obsess about.

This week we chose Historical romance covers for our fight…ahem..discussion. This week we chose Historical Romance covers because Caroline is addicted to those and I just started to discover this genre. *wink*

Susi’s picks:

Caroline: When Indiscreet came out last year, I kept seeing this cover everywhere. It was pure torture. I …
