Book Lovers Book Club: September 2013 Voting Results

Good moaning everyone!

And yes I am definitely moaning today because I currently cannot walk…thanks to the back stairs at my house. If anyone would like to purchase my sprained ankle off me it is going at a very attractive rate…free.

But I digress.

The voting results are in and Septembers reads will be:

The Iron Duke by Meljean Brook

First in an all-new series where seductive danger and steampunk adventure abound in the gritty world of the Iron Seas.

After the Iron Duke freed England from Horde control, he instantly became a national hero. Now Rhys Trahaearn has built a merchant empire on the power-and fear-of his name. And when a dead body is dropped from an airship onto his doorstep, bringing Detective Inspector Mina Wentworth into his dangerous world, he intends to make her his next possession.

Sunday Cravings

Happy first of September to all! I hope that you’re enjoying the last of summer (or rejoicing in the tail end of winter!)–and if you’re celebrating Labor Day tomorrow, may the barbeque be yummy and the iced tea be cool.

This week’s releases brought fewer must-haves for the team, but there are definitely some long awaited and exciting standouts among the bunch, each vastly different from the others. Let’s see what we’ve got…

The I’m Back Winner Post!

Hey Everyone!

I know, I know I’ve disappeared from the face of the Earth and the blog, or so it seemed to you but life has been busy. I went on vacation, then when I got back had no internet for about a week (yep, just love how efficient my cable provider was…NOT!), then I had job interviews, gave notice at my old job, went on dates and organized a wedding (not mine, lol, my best friend’s).

Welcome to this week’s news post! In this edition we have news of  Kobo’s new generation of tablets and ereaders as well new expansion in indie stores, J.D. Sallinger’s rumoured unpublished novels and much more!

Kobo is not playing around with producing new tablets and ereaders. This week they announced a whole new slew of range of tablets and ereaders to be released.

While the HD Aura 7 inch tablets will range from $150 to $249.99.
