I already thought this week was weird, but I just got my first call for a “Best of 2018” list. Wow! This year feels like it’s just barely half over, and we’re already closing the books on it!
This has been a strange week in that we came home from Worldcon Monday night. After listening to one panel where I wanted to get every book they discussed, I started a list. It’s even longer than yesterday’s Stacking the Shelves post, and that was long enough. I didn’t pick up any print books, although I did buy ebooks and grab plenty of eARCs after panel discussions. I also got a bunch of cool t-shirts.
I keep saying that I don’t normally do Spotlights without reviews, but there’s one this past week and one this coming week as well. I signed up for the Release Day Event for Maisey Yates’ Good Time Cowboy because I love her books, and I’m reviewing the book this week. I’ve also been part of the “teaser tour” for J.R. Ward’s Wedding from Hell prequels to her upcoming firefighter romance, Consumed. The first two prequels teased me enough that I’m definitely planning to read Consumed, so I decided to post this week’s excerpt from the upcoming book. And, I admit, I needed a day’s grace.

Looks like some great reads. I am interested in The Phantom Tree. Have a great week of reading!
Mary my Sunday Roundup 33!
The Phantom Tree was marvelous. Absorbing and bittersweet and fascinating. If you like either timeslip or historical fiction it’s a winner.

I always come home from conferences with a massive TBR list. Enjoy your new books!

This was just so much. The good thing about having my phone with me was that I always had something to read between panels. The bad thing was that I had a place to keep a running list of more stuff to read and look at. Now that we’re home I’m almost afraid to see everything that’s on it!
