Cleaning House Again Giveaway! March Edition

You knew I was going to do it again.  
I have so many books in my place I just have too!  I have no other choice.  And now that I have a plane ticket to BEA, I really need to make room for all the new ARC and great reads that I plan on shipping in from New York.  Where o where are all those books going to go?  So my thinking is...if I get rid of a box of books a month until May then maybe, just maybe I will have enough room for all the shiny new books.  

Don't worry I plan on getting two of almost everything.  One for you.  One for me!

Now onto the giveaway.  
Since it's Women's History Month.  I gathered all the books by women, for women or about women for this giveaway plus swag (not women based swag). 

Giveaway Prize

1 box of new and gently worn books with swag

My Favorite Blog Post This Week

February 2013 Wrap Up

This year I am going to add (and remove) a few changes to this blog. 

 One of them will be adding a monthly wrap up post to re-cap and highlight my blog, books and purses and whatever is on my mind.  As well, I will also add a few memes here and there too!  I like to mix things up.  Give my blog a shake up.  You know what I mean.  LOL!
 This month I bought
1 book. (A total of 1 book so far this year)

The Casting Couch #2

As a part of my new blog resolutions, I decided to add a new monthly post called "The Casting Couch".  The Casting Couch is my monthly post were I will be "fun" casting a few of the books I have reviewed this month.  This is only my dream cast and or possible cast and has nothing to do with the actual actors that were cast in the movie versions.  I just wanted to let you know who I was seeing in my head as I was reading a few of these books. Click on the actors name to read their resumes. 

So have a seat on the couch and let the actors show you their stuff...

Black History Month: New To Me Authors

I wanted to do my last Black History Month post about the books I have read by Black Authors.  This year I have completed one book by a Black Author and I currently reading two others.  All three of these books are by authors that are new to me.  Reviews coming soon!  Since it is just February this list is short so I included a list of books from Black Authors that were new to me from 2012.  (Listed by genre.)
