Hi :)
Thank you for an excellent blog post.
Thanks for taking the time to create the great links!
All the best,
@RKCharron

Donna, love to lurk at these posts of your, trying to find me something new :) I am lurking at my mailbox to see if The Lost Symbol will grace it. Not that I am not previously occupied but I want to have it so I can start it when ever I want, which will be ASAP. A Dan Brown book has not dissapointed me and I have read every single one of them. let's hope with the extra time he spent on this book that it will be worth the readers time!
Awesome post. I don't know if there is anything coming out that I HAVE to have today, which is probably a good thing since I placed two orders earlier this week ;)
Terrific post as always. Loved the Fiction Vixen link :)
Great post - very informative. Thanks for putting it all together!
Wow, thanks for this! This is hugely helpful. And the heads up on the Chloe Neill Interview. I didn't even know that blog - eclectic/undercover reader
Can I also say, I love that you have that stop tag up there.
You're welcome RKCharron!
Leontine, I was thinking of trying this one. I read DaVinchi Code and loved it but I DNF on Demons & Angels. My dad loves Dan Brown, so it gives a book or two we can talk about together.
Same here Mandi. Sep. 29th is going to be massive and put a dent in my wallet. ;)
Doug I did too! I love coming across posts like that.
Patti, you're welcome!
Carolyn, you'll find a lot of variety over at Eclectic/Undercover Book Lover. She used to have two blogs but decided to combine them to save time on admin-ing two blogs. Jacqueline has something over there for most anyone.
Great post!
Loved the Blog Rating thing!
Here's mine!
That was cool, my blog is PG
* dead (4x)
* sex (3x)
* death (2x)
* kill (1x)
Hm a death theme there
Great post! Always love the updates :) I have a lot of clicking to do now, lol.
Thanks for posting about all these great contests and the free read from Erica Hayes!! I appreciate it! :)
Jessica - Maybe I'm just to liberal but I really don't see my blog as R rated. It doesn't bother me though, it was fun to see what the rating site would generate.
Blodeuedd - PG is not bad at all, if I had to rate my blog I would give it a PG-13. ;)
FOTS - Hope you find something interesting. :)
Rachael - You're welcome. I can't wait for Shadowfae to release, I'm really excited about it.
I totally love these posts. No releases for me today but that's ok cuz I have already so many for the next two week.
Thanks for making this post.
Susi - I didn't get any of the new releases from this week either. Saving the $ for Sept. 29th!

I love hearing from everyone. Tell me what your thinking.
