Around The Bookish World: Week-In-Review

Welcome to this week’s news post! This week have some updates and news on Kelley Armstrong (although belatedly), Carina Press’ expansion in the UK and Ireland and more.

First up, Kelley Armstrong’s Bitten which is the first book in her Women of the Otherworld series, has been picked up by the Canadian Space channel for a 13 episode series which will focus on Elena and Clay and the rest of the pack. This was announced earlier in the year but I missed this and this took me by surprised when I stumbled across a mention that the series was being adapted for television. Space also announced that they will commence filming later this Spring, although no news on casting, but it looks like Urban Fantasy is becoming a rich source for television and movies for adapations at the moment.

Scholastic has declared that they will be launching their first Fantasy multi-platform …

Guest post by Emily Mah Tippetts + Giveaway

We are happy to welcome back E.M. Tippetts,who stops by today to tell you about her latest book, Nobody’s Damsel, which is the sequel to Somebody Else’s Fairytale. Emily stops by with an exclusive scene just for the readers of Book Lovers Inc. and you could even win a copy of the book by commenting. 😉 So Emily, take it away…

My main character, Chloe Winters is very down-to-earth and low-key. She doesn’t like to draw attention to herself and isn’t big on daydreams or fantasies, so when Hollywood A-lister, Jason Vanderholt, falls for her, she wasn’t sure what to think. As it turned out, he was a good match for her and they’ve since gotten married.

All through the Great Recession, Jason has stayed at the top of the box office, both by doing good work and by being impeccably professional about his job, until …

Romance and Me: New Year’s Eve Romances

Hey Everyone!

In my last rant post I told you how I hated New Year’s Eve, well guess what: in the past 2 weeks, novels set around that time of the year kept coming my way.

I read two of Entangled Publishing’s latest releases: Melting the Millionaire’s Heart by Linda Morris and Yours at Midnight by Robin Bielman, which are both true, 100% New Year’s Eve romances: the hero and heroine share a memorable and crucial moment during those famous countdowns before we ring in the New Year.

And despite not being a fan of the holiday (cough, understatement of the year…), I very much enjoyed these stories, which I believe is due much more to the captivating stories and the great writing, than the time they are set in.

Until now I can’t recall having …

New Releases: January 14-20, 2013

Title: Unforgivable
Author: Joanna Chambers
Genre: historical romance
Release date: January 15, 2013 by Samhain Publishing

Description:

A notorious rake is about to make the ultimate faux pas—fall in love with his own wife.

Gil Truman has eyes only for the beautiful Tilly—until he is forced to marry plain, sickly Rose Davenport to reclaim the lands his father foolishly gambled away. After a disastrous wedding night tainted with his bitterness, he deposits Rose at his remote Northumbrian estate, soothing his guilt with the thought that she need never lay eyes on him again.

Five years after the mortifying wedding night that destroyed all her romantic fantasies, Rose is fed up with hearing second- and third-hand reports of Gil’s philandering ways. She is no longer the shy, homely girl he left behind, but a strong, confident woman who knows how to run an estate. And knows what she wants—her husband, back in …

Hello Book Lovers all around the world! How have you been? Have you fully adjusted after the holidays? I just can’t do it I’m afraid… But I try my hardest 😛
