Around the Bookish World: News Week-in-Review
USA Today reports that its bestselling list will begin to feature ebooks this week and notes that since the holidays which many people have been gifted with an ereader for Christmas. That the top six books on the list, the ebook versions outsold their print counterparts while in the top 50, nineteen books sold more ebooks than print. Whether this trend will grow or remain static remains to be seen but it does lead credence that Ebooks are becoming the new Mass Market as the print sales for that format has fallen in recent months.
A few weeks ago an author claimed and wrote a book that there was a way to manipulate Amazon Kindle charts, however this would involve buying your own book everyday as well as posting reviews and voting for them. I personally didn’t think it …

We are really happy to welcome author Lisa Hendrix here at Book Lovers Inc today. I met Lisa on twitter and when she told me about her new release I practically begged her to come over for an interview.

Review: Elizabeth’s Wolf by Lora Leigh
Format Read: PaperbackNumber of Pages:304Release Date: 30 June 2005Publisher: Ellora’s CaveFormats Available: Paperback, EbookPurchasing Info: Author’s Website, Goodreads, Amazon
Book Blurb:
Dash thought himself alone, a soldier, a fighting machine and no more.
Elizabeth made him realise he was a man.
Danger surrounds the woman his soul marked as his mate, death and blood and treachery that go beyond even his worst nightmares. But he will protect her and what she claims as her own. He was created to kill, trained to do it efficiently, and only a man bound to her, heart and soul, will have the strength to save Elizabeth and her prized possession.
My Thoughts:
You don’t really read Breeds books for their riveting plots, but for me Elizabeth’s Wolf was just too far-fetched in how she brought the pair together.
Dash is a soldier, a …
