Hello everyone! Hope you all had a great week.  Super busy one for me, both at home and at the blog.  We have lots of good stuff coming up that I have been working on that has been keeping me busy.

Plans for Jock Week are going well. We are finalizing our review books and coordinating giveaways. We are still looking for authors and publishers who want to contribute giveaway books so just send me an email if you are interested.

Also, I am so incredibly excited that on Tuesday have our first installment of our new feature, Cover Artist Spotlight! I mentioned this in my Joyfully Jay in 2103 post as something I really wanted to do and I couldn’t be more thrilled with how it is shaping up.  I am crazy excited that our first featured artist will be the fabulous and amazing Paul Richmond!  Paul’s work is a favorite of mine so I was thrilled when he agreed to be our debut artist.  Paul will be talking to us about his work, sharing some of his favorite covers, and giving us a behind the scenes look at how they are created.  Not only that, but Paul is donating signed copies of his fabulous work to two lucky winners, and Dreamspinner is donating FIVE books whose covers Paul has designed as additional prizes.  So incredibly exciting!

Plus, we have lots of other guest posts, reviews, and giveaways going on this week, including a review for a book that just blew me away, How to Repair a Mechanical Heart by J.C. Lillis.  So super busy and lots of excitement! Here is what we have planned for this week:
