Showcase Sunday #1

Firstly, I'd like to apologise for my lack of blogging!!! I have not blogged in 12 days which is terrible, before this the longest I hadn't blogged was 4 or 5. I've been unbelievably ill which made me unable to literally do anything INCLUDING READ! Which I have to say is horrific. So after my little apology is out the way I'll get on with the new feature Showcase Sunday... also I expect countless comments telling me how much you've missed me...(I joke) 


Showcase Sunday will be replacing my IMM post that I usually do on a Sunday. Now, if I'm honest I really don't know what's really gone on at The Story Siren and I just don't want my blog to be near that situation or have any nasty comments placed on my blog in regards to this problem. My lovely friend Vicky over at Books Biscuits and Tea decided to start up this blog hop and I am simply supporting my friend by moving my post over to promote her blog (as well as my own) because she's awesome. Job Done. 
I'm doing a lot of rambling today and I apologise but I've missed blogging so much!
I actually really don't have a lot to tell you about because, due to my illness, I really haven't left the house. The only physical book I have got this week was from the lovely people at Bloomsbury and it was 
but, I am really looking forward to this one so it gets a nice little post all to itself. It has been on my wishlist for a while and when Bloomsbury contacted me I nearly bit their hands off :-) 
I hope you all have had a better time than I have the last couple of weeks and let me know about your Showcase Sunday too!!!

  5. Aww, it's so sweet of you guys. Thank you so much for all the support! (If you'd like to hear the whole story, check out this Facebook comment - you'll find all the relevant articles here)

    Anyway, I hope you're feeling better! We missed you and I'm with you on this- I had such a slow week book wise. I waited 3 weeks to do a mailbox post and I still "only" had like 5 books to show you.

    Happy reading and once again, thanks for joining Showcase Sunday!
