July Winners!

Last month I announce all the winners for the month.  And now I think that is going to be the standard here at My Little Pocketbooks.  With all the giveaways starting and stopping it's soo much easier to just do one winner post a month.  No I didn't forget you!  Just saving a few step.  Let me say a big THANK YOU to all you for stopping by, commenting, following and entering the giveaways!  

So now on to the July winners.  Congratulations goes out to 10 people...

Month of TGIF #24

 
I decided to join a weekly meme called TGIF.  I kept seeing the button on top of so many sites, so I wanted to join in too.
This feature is for Fridays to re-cap the week's posts and to answer the proposed question from Ginger at GReads.  Check her out and join in the fun!

This Friday, I am going to catch up with all the post I have missed this month.  And yes, I might do this every single month.

Today the author of PRETTY SACRIFICES, Devin O'Branagan is taking over My Little Pocketbooks as part of her book tour.  What is Pretty Sacrifices all about?  And who is Devin?  I'm glad you asked.

Targeted by evil because of her heroism during the great plague, Glory fights back with the help of gutsy young witch Kaia, inexperienced guardian angel Sasha, and her intrepid demon-fighting dog Hallelujah. Complicating everything, a rift in time reunites Glory with an old flame and forces her to pay a huge price for love. The legend of Glory continues!

The second book in the Legend of Glory trilogy!

Glory was nominated for the 2011 Best Popular Paperback for Young Adults List, sponsored by the Young Adult Library Services Association (YALSA) of the American Library Association.

Book in the Spotlight: Back to You

Author: Natalie-Nicole Bates

Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance

Book Description

 On the surface, Lynsey Reznor seems to have it all. She is beautiful, brilliant, and a successful true-crime writer who has been living the past decade in Miami. But what Lynsey lacks is what she needs the most—a family.  After the death of her mother, and yet another failed relationship, Lynsey makes an impulsive decision to return to her hometown of Unity. But Unity will present its own bittersweet memories, most notably, her first love, Nick Lincoln.  Twenty years ago, Nick broke teenager Lynsey’s heart when he decided to marry another. He had his own private reasons—reasons he never explained to Lynsey. Now she is back, along with a chance to reclaim her love. But Lynsey wants answers from him that he may never be able to give out of duty and guilt.
