I’ve read 26 books so far this year, which currently makes me 2 books ahead. Yay! One thing I find strange is that I haven’t been reading much romantic suspense. (I LOVE romantic suspense.) I’ve only read one romantic suspense book this year so far. ONE. But I’ve been reading a lot of contemporary romance.
With Google Reader going away July 1st, people are scrambling to find a replacement. Me, I’m going with Feedly. They have a Chrome extension so I can easily add new blogs plus they have an iOS app (they have a Droid app as well). You can follow The Book Vixen on Feedly as well as Bloglovin, another popular Google Reader replacement. You can also follow us on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Goodreads, LibraryThing, Instagram, and via email.
The first ever Book Blogger Twitter con is here! Follow it on Twitter under #BBTC. Check out the calendar of events to see what’s happening when.
