The Verve: Stacking the Shelves (2)

The Verve is our Sunday edition of Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews, featuring
the books we bought, borrowed, were gifted and given for review.
We also mention blog news from the past couple weeks
and what you might see in the next two.

Hello, everyone! Can you believe it's almost February already? The time has flown by, hasn't it? It has for us! We've gotten a new staff member: Speklez! She's a devoted non-canon gal, and you might have read her fics The Demon Mate  (Jasper & Bella), Never Saw That Coming  (Peter & Bella), Time Heals All Wounds  (Demetri & Bella)—just to name a few; she has a eleven TwiFics so far, and none are E/B. Please leave her warm welcome. We're thrilled to have her!

We've also been busy reading and setting up books and fics for you to check out. We have a ton of events, recs, and giveaways coming up in the next two months—one of which, we're especially excited for. To celebrate the month that's all about love, we're hosting The LUV'NV's Follower Appreciation Giveaway! We want to show some love to new and old followers for sticking with us through our dead zone, our sudden review belches, and all the changes happening on the site. Prizes are a $50 Visa gift card and a winner's choice of book from The Book Depository ($15 value). Giveaway starts February 14th and ends on March 1st. It's not happening in the next couple weeks, but we're too excited not to share the news. And if you're an "old" follower (one before the giveaway begins), you'll get another entry!

Until then, check out the right column for current giveaways. Here's what you might have missed the past two weeks and what to expect in the next two.
