This has been such a great month…so many fun events have happened. Both personal and for the blog. I have a new nephew and he was born on my birthday…AWESOME!!

Lusting For Covers (164) Trapped By Scandal

Apr26

Lusting for Covers is a meme found on TBQ so come and join in on this
fun meme!!! 1- Take the graphic (left) to use on your post. Remember to
give credit to the original host (TBQ). 2- Choose your own book cover
that you’ve fallen in “lust” with in the past week. It can be new, old, a
reprint, or even a book that is not yet out– it’s all up to you! If
you find a cover that catches your eye, then showcase it on your blog,
and let others see the pretty covers out there. 3- Copy the direct link
to your own L4C post into the comment section on my post (when in doubt,
use this link and then scroll down to find the post), and allow others
to come and see what you picked! (OPTIONAL): 4- Besides posting the
picture of the book cover you chose, it’s nice to provide the book
summary, title, author, or a website link for the book. It’s not
required, but it can help you readers’ to add more books to their own
list! A brief “Why I choose this cover” is also appreciated, but not
required
