The View From Monday - December 12, 2011

It's December 12, 2011. We're about halfway through the month. Is your shopping done? Holiday cards sent?  Books makes great presents! I'm giving my small humans gift cards to Barnes and Noble. I recently gave them each a Nook Simple Touch e-reader as early holiday presents. Honestly, I still prefer non-virtual books though I prefer e-books for reviewing. I can mark up an e-book without feeling like I'm desecrating it. I can erase all the marks too. I have sticky notes that I use if I'm not reading an e-book. I wonder if the sticky note will leave a resin of some sort that will eventually ruin the page that is was on? Only time will tell. In the meantime this week at The Qwillery:

Monday -  A 2011 Debut Author Challenge Interview with Amanda Bonilla. Shaedes of Gray, Amanda's debut novel, was published on December 6, 2011 by Signet Eclipse.

Tuesday - Guest Blog by Zoë Archer. Devil's Kiss (Hellraisers 1), Zoë's most recent novel, was published on December 6, 2011 by Zebra.

Wednesday - Interview with Jane Kindred. The Fallen Queen (The House of Arkhangel'sk 1) was published on December 6, 2011 by Entangled Publishing.

Thursday - 2012 Debut Author Challenge Guest Blog by Kylie Griffin. Kylie's debut novel, Vengeance Born, will be published on February 7, 2012 by Berkley.

Friday - Interview with Paige Cuccaro. Hellsbane (Hellsbane 1), Paige's most recent novel, was published on December 6, 2011 by Entangled Publishing.


Last week we saw an abundance of books. This week is much lighter as will be the following week. Hopefully everyone will get some gift cards for bookstores because there are many books being released on December 27th.
