Blood,Sweat and Books

We all know what goes on behind the scenes at our own blogs but rarely do we lift the curtain and share those experiences with others. Dear Diary: Confessions From A Blogger stems from the curiosity. This week I want to talk about What makes someone a real reviewer. Here is my Confession:    A few weeks back I talked about Professional Reviews and why they didn't matter to me. Why do I mention that? Well, during that same time (while reading comments on another blog) I came across a young blogger who mentioned being told they received almost every new review book through online sites.

Welcome back to My Weekly Wrap Up!!! Each Week I will share My Weekly Wrap Up of Books (reviews,bought,won etc..). So let's get to it shall we! Gosh it's been so long since I've done one of these. Those of you who follow me on Twitter might recall my rants about missing books in the mail.
