• I shared the books that Molli and I recommended to each other for February's Epic Recs

• I reviewed Lady Thief by AC Gaughen and gave it 5 stars

• I revealed the cover for my 5th book, After the Storm. Be sure to check it out, consider joining my Street Team (I'll love you forever!), and enter to win a $10 Amazon gift card or PayPal cash!

• I reviewed Sweet Nothings by Janis Thomas and gave it 3.75 stars. I also posted a guest post from Janis with her 10 reasons a cake is better than a man. Be sure to check this post out, it's hilarious (and guaranteed to make you want cake!). 

• I participated in the book blitz for my friend Lilly Avalon's debut short story, Here All Along

It's been a CRAZY week. I worked 12-15 hour days Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, then had to be up before 6am on Thursday to watch my 8-month-old niece and 4-year-old nephew while my sister-in-law took her dad to have surgery. Friday was a super fun day, though. My mum and I went out and did some shopping, went out for lunch, and then had my niece and nephew for a few hours while my brother and sister-in-law went out for a Valentine's date. It was such a great day, and just the break I've been needing. 

My super duper awesome mum not only treated me to lunch on Friday, she also bought me season 3 of Sherlock, a U2 Joshua Tree mug, and some chocolate. Since we share an apartment, she knows the long hours I work and that I'm basically a hermit, and she thought I needed a little treat. Isn't she amazing?? I'm so lucky. Then when my sister-in-law dropped the kids off, she had a Valentine's gift for us - a bunch of chocolates and a really cute hanging ornament. I was going to take a picture of the goodies but my nephew ripped into them and proceeded to try each thing before I had a chance lol. I felt thoroughly spoiled yesterday, and so blessed to have people who love and appreciate me, especially since I've been in a really blah mood lately.

My Valentine's Day dates <3

As I mentioned in the 'On the Blog' section, I revealed the cover for my novel After the Storm this week. To go along with the reveal, I've reduced the price of Waiting for the Storm to just 99 cents across all ebook retailers.

{Amazon US/CAN/UK || Kobo || B&N || Smashwords}

*I know the graphic says the sale runs until the 15th but I've extended it an extra day so it'll be 99 cents until Monday.

Thanks for stopping by! How was your week? Did you get any new books? Have you read any good ones that you'd recommend? Tell me in the comments below or post a link to your Stacking the Shelves/Book Haul/In My Mailbox/Showcase Sunday, etc. Happy reading! <3
