Thankful Thursday (4)

Thankful Thursday is a feature on the last Thursday of every month here at Bibliophilia, Please. It allows me to share not only the books that I receive, but also the bloggers, authors, lolcats, aliens, and other entities on the interwebz that made my month amazing.

Hi, guys! I'm going to keep this short and sweet this go-round because I'm trying to get ready for Hurricane Isaac to hit my area.

Hi, guys! It's actually me blogging! *twirls* I apologize for things being a bit slow around here, but you guys are consistently awesome in still hanging about. Last month I had to deal with doctor visit after doctor visit, and this month was crazy because of a very hard out-of-town funeral, dating (don't be too shocked - I'm not THAT old!), and a sick baby. I won't even get started on the crap my email account has been giving me. By the way, if I was supposed to respond to an email you sent me - let me know. I may have sent it and then had it eaten by Interwebz Gremlins.

*shudders* Anywho, on with the thankfulness!

Teaser Tuesdays (7)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! 

Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title and author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

This was a really good week for me, and I am so grateful for it. I've been needing some awesome to add to my sauce from all the Suck that's been going on lately. My IMM is going to be a mess like last week, but I took a picture of everything together earlier in the week (it all came on Friday!), and I don't feel like digging everything out to do it again. :-)

April at Bibliophilia, Please

I figure instead of only posting the giveaway winners for this month, I'll just do a wrap-up in general for you. First of all, there were four contests that ended in April. I had quite a bit of trouble getting winners for two giveaways this last month, so I did away with the extra entries on most contests hosted by me. (There will be exceptions, of course, but hopefully not often.) The winners are as follows:

Hi guys! Sorry that I missed last week, but I'm back - mostly (I'm still mucking through unread email). Anywho, here is my haul for the past two weeks. Please excuse the picture quality, but I didn't feel like readjusting all of the settings from my camera.

I had a great week this week. When I came home from Morgan City, Louisiana last Sunday, I stopped by the post office. I had an embarrassing number of little yellow slips letting me know that I had a ridiculous amount of mail waiting for me. Not all of it was book and blog related, but isn't that an exciting thing to find? I should let you know that I'm not having as many insomnia issues anymore, and that is what has led directly to an insane number of won items. When I can't sleep, I enter giveaways. Sometimes, I just happen to win - which is not a lot at all if I ever admitted to the silly number. And I won't. Now to the fun stuff!

I had a pretty nice week over here at Bibliophilia, Please. I was able to take pictures of most of my haul, but I am missing a really nice handmade bookmark that I received in the mail. As soon as I steal it back from my five year old, I'll put it up for next week's IMM.

I realized after I posted last week that I had left off a few ebooks that I had purchased. I always forget to check my Kindle (and I still haven't checked my Nook) for what I throw on, spur of the moment. I did get two physical books in the mail, which is VERY exciting! Since I'm not at home, I'm just posting cover pictures of what I received. Yes, I should have taken pictures this morning, but working on Saturdays still throws me off two years later. Anywho, here's what I have received this week:

As I had promised you guys last week, this week's haul is not nearly as... Extravagant? It is still amazing and I am beyond grateful, but it doesn't give you a false impression about how popular I am in the blogosphere. I am a peon, I know this, and quite frankly, I love it. Here's what I have received this week:
