~ New Arrivals to Land of 1000 Wonders ~
This week there were some really good books that came out! It was hard to stay away from them…and I didn’t…but I didn’t go overboard. I downloaded maaayyyyybe only 15 books this week (or less!). Here are a few that immediately grabbed my interest.
~ Around Town in the Spotlight ~
There are so many read-a-thons and “clean your shelves” challenges going on. It’s fantastic! I gave my best shot to Beat the Heat, but only completed about half of my goal since school started.

I’m loving all the posts about Outlander. I’m a huge fan of the books and I am discovering a lot of new blogs by way of those posts.
Thanks for sharing!
You have had a great week it seems, keep it up!!

I’ve finally had to admit that read-a-thons and short challenges just don’t work for me right now. I’m looking forward to being able to participate in a few years though! Great books this week! Trail of Thread especially caught my eye. Have a great week!
