I've not had much time for reading & blogging over the last few days due to a family crisis so I apologise that things have been a bit slow here & I've got behind on my reviews and returning comments.  Things are going to be a little crazy for at least the next week but I'll try to post as often as I can and I will be returning visits when I have a bit more time on my hands again.  Please do comment if you visit - it really makes my day reading your comments even though I've not got time to reply straight away.  Hopefully I'll be back to the normal schedule next week :o)

There is still time for UK bloggers to sign up for the ARC tour of Ivy Devlin's Low Red Moon - this is a new young adult paranormal romance and it looks fab, I'm really looking forward to reading it.  If anyone is interested in joining the UK tour you can sign up here.  The tour copy of Low Red Moon arrived on Saturday & I'll be reading it ASAP so I can send it on to the first person in the tour

Like I already said I'm not going to have much time for reading as usual this week so I'll have to see how I go.  I am going to read Dido by Adel Geras next so I can hopefully review it in time to post a review with Adel's guest post on Thursday.  Then I'm going to be reading Low Red Moon so I can send the book off on the UK tour.

We're on holiday this week so I'm hoping to get a lot of reading done.  I've packed loads of books, in the end Ant had to make me remove some so we could fit everything in the car!  He did promise I can buy more while we're away if I run out though LOL.  I can't even remember all the books I packed but I know it included the last 2 books in Larissa Ione's Demonica series and the first 2 Mortal Instruments books by Cassandra Clare.
