Join the fun at BBAW 2010

Today starts BBAW 2010 and guess what?  I'm not ready. SIGH. Being out of town and not at the computer for ten days has me behind and chances are I won't catch up. Then having this event fall the same week as Blogmania and right after Blogfest creates a lot going on in one week.

There are postings to do every day but it looks like that is not going to happen for me again this year. I was going to participate in the interview swap but I haven't had contact with my interview partner.

Anyway...There are lots of fun activities to check out at the main site and plenty of Giveaways for the event. eTreasures is sponsoring some giveaways so check the listings for that too.
I will host at least one BBAW giveaway here at MBS this week too even if I don't do the daily blog topics.

So Happy BBAW 2010 everyone!

It's Monday! What are you Reading September 13, 2010?

This meme starts at One Person's Journey Through A World of Books!

What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week.  It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.

I finished four good books last week!
I posted two reviews and one book giveaway.
I need to get back to work on a few overdue reviews.

I hope to do better visiting a bit this week. We'll see how it works out.

Product Description
A ruthless killer hides in plain sight, someone no one believes is capable of murder. Within a week, six women will be murdered, all punished for their dark pasts. Detective Dani Cole is determined to track down this serial killer whose victims include a young woman she pulled out of a life of crime. Her investigation leads her to a photography foundation and the renowned photographer Mitch Sheridan, a man she she fell in love with years ago but has tried to forget. Dani and Mitch are instantly attracted to each other again, though their troubled pasts keep them from getting too close. Together, through the course of the investigation, they unearth a dark chain of deception that leads to a killer who is closer than they think.

PB:  The second small "Tell HQ" review book.  I liked this quick easy read.

Kindle: ---------

Audible: Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games) by Suzanne Collins. If you haven't read this series I highly recommend it!

Katniss Everdeen, girl on fire, has survived, even though her home has been destroyed. There are rebels. There are new leaders. A revolution is unfolding.

Line Edits:  YAY the eTreasures new website it working!! Two new releases just posted.

Currently reading:
PB: Never a Bride by Amelia Grey. The print book came in last week so I just started it.

Her name is on everyone’s lips . . .
When he left for America six years ago, the handsome Viscount Stonehurst never suspected that he would return home to England to find his lovely fiancé embroiled in the scandal of the decade. The woman he planned on making his wife has been kissing every man in London . . . except him!
But scandal doesn’t matter in search of the truth . . .Engaged and then abandoned, Mirabella Wittingham is determined to find the man who drove her cousin to suicide, even if it means ruining her reputation and disgracing herself in the process . . . When her plans go awry, Mirabella has no choice but to turn to her long-lost fiancé for help. But can she trust the man who deserted her so many years ago, or is he destined to fail her yet again?

Kindle ------

Audible:   Inside Out (Harlequin Teen) by Maria V. Snyder. This is continuing my YA bent right now. This is another author I really like. :)

Product Description
"Imagine every space in this room filled with people. Constantly being jostled and pushed. In the lower levels there is no quiet place. No peace. To a scrub, this room is paradise."
I drew a deep breath. I'd spoken more in one burst to this stranger whose room I'd invaded than anyone else in weeks. And with a single word he could alert the Pop Cops and send me to the Chomper. We stared at each other for a few heartbeats.
Before I could retreat he said, "My name's Riley Narelle Ashon. Any time you need peace, you're welcome to use my hideaway."
I'm Trella. I'm a scrub. A nobody. One of thousands who work the lower levels, keeping Inside clean for the Uppers. I've got one friend, do my job and try to avoid the Pop Cops. So what if I occasionally use the pipes to sneak around the Upper levels? The only neck at risk is my own...until I accidentally start a rebellion and become the go-to girl to lead a revolution.

Line Edits: I have several more books I am formatting for release.

Upcoming books:

PB: Renters Win, Home Owners Lose: Revealing the Biggest Scam in America by Tom Graneau. Pump it up Author Guest Blog September 22 and Review September 23.
