Hey Everyone! How are you all doing today? I’m doing pretty good =) I’ve had a busy week, had some reviews up, 2 giveaways and a review and post on Book Lovers Inc. as well, not to mention a review in Portuguese on the Brazilian blog I collaborate to, all that and I also read 2 books… phew, no wonder I have a headache LOL

I actually came up with a cool new idea for a weekly meme/feature this week. I’ll be hosting Flashback Friday every Friday and I will be adding Mr. Linky on the post so if you feel like joining, you’re more than welcome to do it.

Click on the feature’s image above for more info about it and to access my first post with the meme. Or you can just go to the main blog page to find it =)

I am also today at Sherry’s Flipping Pages for All Ages Blog in her Weekly Favorite Friday meme:

I also have TWO giveaways going on, you can find the links to them on my left sidebar near the top or at the end of this post =)

    Hello!

    Thanks for stopping by my blog through the Book Blogger Hop! I've been blogging about books for a while now, and I've been reading/writing forever! I'm new to "Blogger" though, so I'm sure there's still a lot to learn!

    I'm following you on Twitter now as well - so hopefully we can keep connecting on books!

    Hi Larissa,
