The Verve: Stacking the Shelves (3)

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.

Hi, LUVs! We have a new book reviewer: Amanda, a.k.a. LadyAlistair89! Please leave her warm welcome. We're so excited to have her join our little blog. Nothing much else has been going on with us. Just reading and reviewing and getting ready for The LUV'NV's Follower Appreciation Giveaway coming up on the 14th and our first giveaway hop on the 15th! Prizes include a $50 Visa gift card and a winner's choice of book from The Book Depository ($15 value). Be sure to leave a comment and follow before the giveaways; you'll get more entries.
