The Verve and Stacking the Shelves (14)

The Verve is our Sunday edition of the weekly memes "The Sunday Post," hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer,
and "Stacking the Shelves," hosted by Tynga's Reviews. We feature the books we bought, borrowed, were gifted and given for review,
as well as share blog news from the past couple weeks and what you might see in the next two.



Grapevine Book Tours
Hi, LUVs! It's been a much slower week than usual with a small stack all around but no less sweet. Did you see we launched Grapevine Book Tours last week? We did, and we're so excited! We're connecting even more with authors and bloggers and really enjoying it. As beta readers, editors, and (once) aspiring authors, we've always been involved in the writing community and understood the need to connect with readers, but now we're delving deeper and get to be a part of another facet.

More exciting news ... this week, we're sponsoring NA Lit Chat. Grapevine Book Tours is giving away one complimentary blitz and one complimentary tour! Join us, NA authors, and fans of the genre this Thursday night at 9pm EST on Twitter for an all NA discussion. Follow @NALitChat or search #NALitChat. We hope to see you there!


Become a Grapevine Book Tours host and you can enter a giveaway for
a Kindle Paperwhite and two $25 Amazon or B&N gift cards here.
