Hey Guys! How you all doing? I hope you’ve had a wonderful week =)

This past weekend I had the event, Wolfie Weekend w/ Vivian Arend and for that reason there was no New Blogs on The Block post.
I received a few books for review and they were:
- Beauty Tempts the Beast by Leslie Dicken
- Shadow of the Vampire by Megan Hetfield (ARC – NetGalley)
Im sorry to say that I have not made a decision yet, but I will make one soon. I am still going crazy keeping up with my reading and posting schedule and organizing things here for the move. I’m really sorry for the delay =)
As soon as I settle in Brazil, I’ll get back to this feature, I promise! =)
