The Spring Awaiting Winner Post
Hey Everyone!
I have had enough of frosty mornings and icy wind. I want sunshine and warmth, to be able to sit outside and soak up the sun and the sweet scent of flowers or freshly cut grass. The past week has been a roller-coaster Monday and Tuesday mild with sunshine promising longer days, then the icy cold came back in the second part of the week. I don’t care for winter wonderland snowy landscapes and ice skating, I’ve had enough time to enjoy my nice scarf and gloves, I want to shed my thick winter coat for my cute and colourful blazers and trench coats! I’ve had enough of winter, when will spring finally be here? Pretty please?
Today’s winners are:
the lucky winner of a $10 USD Amazon gift card and signed bookmark featuring Tiffany Allee’s series is:
LorettaLynn
the lucky winner of an ebook copy of Highland Heart by Heather McCollum is:

Around the Bookish World: Week-in-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post and we have a bumper packed edition with breaking news of Macmillan’s settlement with the DOJ, crazy author scam alert and more YA movie casting news as well as books and covers to watch out for in the coming year.
In the midst of finishing this post, news broke on twitter that Macmillan has settled with the DOJ over Agency pricing. This leaves Apple as the lone standing defendant against the collusion over Agency pricing. John Sargent has posted a statement that says –
Our company is not large enough to risk a worst case judgment. In this action the government accused five publishers and Apple of conspiring to raise prices. As each publisher settled, the remaining defendants became responsible not only for their own treble damages, but also possibly for the treble damages of the settling publishers (minus what they settled for). A …

Publisher:Carina Press
Formats Available: e-book
Purchasing Info: Goodreads | Publisher | Amazon | B&N | Kobo
Book Blurb:
Althea Grant’s Charleston gallery might be suffering from the bad economy, and her artistic aspirations have gone nowhere, but she’s doing just fine, thank you. When bad-boy sculptor Steel rides up on his motorcycle looking to rent studio space, his infusion of cash is more than welcome. But his art is raw, visceral, sexual—and completely inappropriate for her pastel world of watercolor landscapes.
Steel, fascinated by Althea’s rare albino coloring, sees in her the key to his next piece: a metal satyr designed for bondage games. Moving into her gallery basement is the first step; seducing the cool Southern belle into modeling for him is the second.
As Steel peels away her careful …
