Sunday Cravings
Hello my fellow Book Lovers everywhere in the world! How are you this weekend? Have you read anything really interesting lately that you want to share with us? Any recommendations would be grateful as for once more I’m in a book slump… I don’t know why I keep feeling this way more and more often. Anyway, this week will be a little bit slow bookwise I’m afraid. Not many titles are scheduled for release, and that is seriously not helping the fact that I don’t know what to read 😛 So, let’s see which titles caught our attention from the small selection this week.
Stella: The Rebound Girl by Tamara Morgan
Book one of Getting Physical
Plastic surgeon Whitney Vidra knows all about getting over a cheating ex. She followed her boyfriend halfway around the world before she found out about his infidelity. Now she’s focusing on her career …
The Lonely Winner Post
You all know what a baking fanatic I am, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that after a macaron course last week (seriously I made so much tiny bright yellow, peach and rose coloured macarons that the family and friends have been eating them for a week and there are still some left!), I signed up to follow another set of classes taught by professional pastry chefs. The first class was yesterday and we learned how to make pain au chocolat, croissant, stollen, blundel and other breakfast pastries (like the ones pictured on the right). So you can imagine how happy that made the family that for this morning they could have their pick from a whole big box of treats I did yesterday 😀 lol
This week we only have 1 lonely winner to announce, and that is
the lucky winner of an ebook copy of any of the …

Around the Bookish World: Week-In-Review
Welcome to this week’s news post! This week have news that could shake up DRM in the future with legislation that could allow unlocking in the US, Candace Bushnell’s latest book leaked online due to her email account being hacked into and more news and tidbits.
This is really interesting to note that there is an amendement in Congress right now for the DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright ACT) that proposes users to unlock devices and software from DRM restrictions for their personal use. This could potentially affect the future of DRM especially for ebooks and with Tor and a few other major publishers starting to lean towards to offer non DRM books for certain imprints. I suspect this is the beginning of the end of DRM for ebooks which hasn’t really affected the state of piracy and Tor recently announced that their move to non DRM ebooks hasn’t caused a spike …

We are happy to welcome to Book Lovers Inc. Ros Baxter, author of Fish Out of Water, a mermaid story unlike any other you know! So join us as Ros tells us about her fascination with mermaids and how HER kind of mermaid is nothing like Ariel 😉 Ros, take it away! 😀
The best thing about children…
…is that they haven’t yet been told there is stuff they can’t do.
At least mine haven’t.
So when I asked my daughter (4) the other day what she wanted to be when she grew up, she told me with that trademark don’t-you-remember look on her face: “A pirate, of course.” Ah, of course. Silly me.
Pirate
And when I asked my son (7), he shot me an almost identical look (genes are scary) and said: ”Rock star, remember?”

For me, it was always a mermaid.
