News at The Book Cove: August-September updates

-

Happy Friday!!

I'll make everyone's Friday just a little bit better by starting off with this cute picture of my puppy, Emma:



Too much cuteness to handle at once!

Now on to the news...

Reviews

I've finally gotten back into the swing of reviewing and I've slowly been accepting books to review (versus only reading books I've purchased due to time constraints). So more people on the review request list have been hearing from me, however, there are 100's on that list and I cannot (and do not) want to read them all. As  usual, I will try to get as many reviewed by guest reviewers as possible but that too is a little slow going these days.

Blog Takeover

Our last blog take over winner was Nick Tory. If you did not catch his entries, you should do so now! They're hilarious, spot on, and a little bit crazy!

In September we will have our 2nd blog takeover winner, author Emily Walker. And if her posts are anything like her winning entry answer to "In 50 words or less explain why you should get to take over The Book Cove for a week," then I'm sure that will be a riot!

"Jobs"

For those of you that do not know, or forget easily (like me), or just haven't considered it - The Book Cove has availabilities to guest post, guest review, and co-blog (all non-paying, unfortunately). If interested, send an email to bookcovereviews@gmail.com and we'll get something set up!

Upcoming TBR

Lastly, I thought I'd share what I'm reading and see if anyone has similar TBRs or any thoughts on them. 

Compromising Kessen by Rachel Van Dyken -  My interpretation: An arranged "royal" marriage  between an American and a Brit based on 18th century values in today's society. I love RVD's work so I'm pretty psyched to read this!

Above All by Rebecca Brooks - My interpretation - the backwoods gets steamy when a sour breakup brings a hot Chef and ready-to-bare-all woman together. I'm a pretty big fan of gratuitous hookups in the wild with sexy men that can cook (I'm talking about reading, guys...just reading about it ;)) So this should be great!

Author Khaled Talib discusses development of his newest thriller "Gun Kiss"

Today we're welcoming author Khaled Talib to The Book Cove. He's the author of three novels -- the most recent titled Gun Kiss  was published December 2017 and has received rave reviews. TBC: Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from?  KT: I was born and raised in Singapore. I've been writing since I was a kid. Although I did attain some recognition, I never realized my full potential until much later. My little voice, once lost, kept pressing me on. To date, I've authored three novels. I am self-taught, never once having the opportunity to attend a workshop or a school to learn the craft. Along the route, I experienced agony and ecstasy. I ended up being a magazine writer before switching to the field of public relations. It also involved some form of writing though different from fiction. I find myself more interested in writing fiction as it allows my imagination to thrive in more ways than one. It's like baking a cake, you know; there are many

I'm a little late on my FF post this week as I've been in and out of town and busy with work. Actually...I'm procrastinating on writing a paper right now with this post ;-) What is a Feature and Follow? (Courtesy of Parajunkee): The goal is to increase blog followers and make friends. First you leave your name here on this post, (using the linky tools — keep scrolling!) then you create a post on your own blog that links back to this post (easiest way is to just grab the code under the #FF picture and put it in your post) and then you visit as many blogs as you can and tell them “hi” in their comments (on the post that has the #FF image). You follow them, they follow you. Win. Win. Just make sure to follow back if someone follows you! What sets this Hop apart from others, is our Feature. Each week we will showcase a Featured Blogger, from all different genres and areas. Who is our Feature today? Find out below. Just remember it is required, if you participate
