Ahhh an extra day off is always nice, I hope you enjoy it Heather! I wish I lived in Scotland right now, just so I could have a long weekend hehe. When I first started blogging, I did a lot of book blitz/tours as well -- but I've basically stopped with those in the last year or so. I just couldn't keep up!!

I hope you enjoy all your new books, they all sound amazing!

I know, this week flew by. I've been reading less only because a lot of the stuff I want isn't out yet! :(

Yay for books,a week without at least one new one is no good. :) And enjoying the A to Z posts- those are fun.

Like the look of those new books... have a super week.

That is one thing I'm not missing about my son being in college now ... I'm off homework duty. Hopefully it doesn't get too bad for you. Yu got some great looking books, hope you enjoy them!

Great to get heaps of reading accomplished and reviews done. I think a 2016 date with the next Bourbon Kings book is a great idea, good on you for being approached. 2016 fast approaching.

Nirvana looks good, but I am trying to be good, and haven't requested anything. I want to try and read some of the books I bought. I am very selective about tours and usually only do review stops for books I would have bought. Good luck cleaning and have a lovely week Heather!

Enjoy your bank holiday Monday, they are the best! I love scheduling and I know if I didn't schedule then posts would never ever happen. And yay for being approached for a blog tour that makes you excited but really 2016! Now they are organised!

Sounds like you had a good week, Heather, and congrats on scheduling some reviews for next week! I have scaled down on blogtours a lot, too, I feel like it's become too much in many ways, so I completely get where you're coming from. I would definitely have said yeas to the JR Ward tour, too, though ;)
Have a fantastic week ahead and happy reading.

I've got so many book reviews I need to write but I can't find the energy or motivation to do them right now. A nice night without coughing to catch up on sleep should help. Lets hope I get that tonight!!!

Well done on catching up on some reading and reviewing. I've done a couple of blog tours lately but just as a participant and it hasn't been too bad, though I was disorganised for the last one and only sent my questions to the author the week of the interview! Oops. I think they understand we have other commitments!

Enjoy your day off!! I liked THE BOURBON KINGS so the UK tour will probably be fun. I wonder if Whiskey production there in Scotland is at all similar to how she describes Bourbon companies here.

Enjoy your holiday, and have fun catching up on your reviews. I admire those who have custom domains and learn how to do all kinds of interesting things.

I do have my own Word Press domain for my website, but it's not self-hosted.

Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES

Sounds like a good week! It really did fly by, didn't it?

Can't wait to read your thoughts on the Bourbon Kings. I've stumbled and stalled for the time being. Lol. Anyway, have a glorious reading/blogging week!

Having Monday off is AWESOME. I don't know what it is about Mondays specifically, but I mind much less when I have to go to work on Tuesday than on Monday! I can't even imagine having to do homework again. I didn't even do it as a child, I doubt I'd be any good at it as an adult. I supervised some younger kids in the afternoons when I was still in school, and even though they were just a couple of years below me, they suddenly had to follow completely different methods to solve their math equations. I could solve them, I just couldn't do it the way they were learning it (and mine was much simpler too). Weird stuff! I love when people you admire interact with you (in a good way) on social media. :) And my approach to buying books is generally fuck it too haha

Yay for having a day off from work. I have next Monday (Sept. 7) off from work because of Labor Day here in the U.S. so that's exciting!!

I have an eARC of The Wanderers, but I haven't read it yet. Thank-you for the link to the drop down menu thing because I have been wanting to do that. I am so happy I am past those years of helping with math homework, ugh. Have a wonderful week. :)

yay for having a day off your work! Sounds like you had a good reading week, I like weeks like that, although my reading has been a bit slow lately. wow that's early in advance they contacted you for thet JR Ward tour.
I saw Nirvana on netgalley and I like the cover, but wasn't sure if the book would be for me. Guess I'll wait to read some reviews of it first. I hope you'll have a great week!

You did mention wanting to change the blogging pattern and making it fewer promotions and more reviews, and it seems like you have been able to do so very well! I loved the posts gone up last week, and good on you for having achieved this much!
