Smugglers Weekly Stash

Happy Sunday!!!

So, not a lot of news today, just a couple of announcements, some pimpage and something about the Batman comics brought to our attention by Katiebabs.

Pimpage:

Our good friend and powerpuff girl comrade is starting her own blog! Is is called Babbling About Books, And More! She is preparing loads of cool stuff in this first week so go forth and say hello!

Also this week My Friend Amy’s celebration of everything Blog-ish –The Book Blogger Appreciation Week starts tomorrow with heaps of prizes and giveaways!

This Week:

On Thursday, Ana reviews Mr Cavendish, I Presume (release date: Sep. 30th) by Julia Quinn. The first book in the two-book series, The Lost Duke of Wyndham is on her Top 10 reads of 2008 – will the second book make it as well?

On Friday, another Powerpuff Girls review with Katiebabs at her new casa. We will be reviewing King of Sword and Sky by C.L. Wilson – another one of Ana’s favourite series – will this one ALSO make her top 10? And how many spots are there on her top 10 , exactly? It surely seems more than…..10. What is happening inside this girl’s head? And why is she speaking in third person?

And finally, the coolest–craziest news ever. Well, ok, that is a gross exaggeration, but I need to make this stash sound a little bit more interesting, don’t I? So here you go: It seems that someone at DC didn’t do her/his job right – apparently the most recent issue of All-Star Batman & Robin the Boy Wonder went to print full of swear words like f**k, s**t and worse! Holy crap, Batman! DC seems to be trying to pull the issues from circulation but some copies made to the distributors. Thea went all over town trying to find one, but alas to no avail. You can read the article here.

That’s it for today, folks. Hasta mañana!

    You crack me up!
    I have no clue what is inside my head. Will King of Sword and Sky be in my top ten? Will Ellie and Rain have hot sex? Tune in on Friday for all the smexy news that is fit to print :P
    Thanks for the pimpage. Blossum can’t stop jumping up and down.

      About Us

      We are two completely obsessed, sad, sick addicts when it comes to books. Faced with threats and cynicisms from our significant others and because of the massive amounts of time and money we spend at Amazon.com, we resorted to getting books delivered to our offices and then smuggling them into our homes (in huge handbags) to avoid detection. Here we found a perfect outlet for our obsession! Reviews, recommendations, and other ponderings are our specialty.
