I got a hodgepodge of books this week. Undressed sounds and looks damn sexy. Pure Blooded is a part of a series I am keeping in my back pocket to read all at once. The first book was good. The Lost Girl sounded creepy as hell so I grabbed it.
What books did you get this week? Have you read any of the ones I got?
My Week:
I had the week from hell and there is no end in sight. But I’m cool. Really, the bad things in your life are only temporary, so why sweat them? Stressing is so wasteful and exhausting, I just don’t let myself get there anymore. My motto is “Whatever happens, happens.” How do you guys deal with stress or the rough patches in your life?

I’m sorry your week sucked too. Mine was going fairly well then…not. Blerg. I tend to retreat to books and herd snuggles to deal. They’re both very good at that. Hope yours starts to get better soon!
Jennifer Bielman
I heard. So sorry for what you are going through. 🙁
I have been hugging my cat a lot lately, like you suggested.

R.L. Stine is my youngest daughter’s favorite author, she has almost all of his books ! And damn, I think I’m going to use the cover of Undressed for my next “Lusting for covers” meme, it’s mouth watering ^^
Jennifer Bielman
hehe, I do love that cover. Stine was my fav when I was young.

Sorry, I pressed “submit” too soon : I hope next week will be stupendous and marvelous and delightful !

Stress and I go back a long way, like old friends…The way I deal with it now is to lose myself in a favourite re-read or watch a favourite film until I feel better. And chocolate of course…Hope this week is better for you!
Jennifer Bielman
Chocolate and books fixes almost everything!

Amanda Carlson’s series looks interesting – catches my eye every time I see it.
Jennifer Bielman
🙂 I agree.
Manisha
Hey Jen!
I’ve heard about the Lost Girl and R L Stine knows his horror!
*hugs* I love you optimism! Bad times always pass! That’s how I deal with it and look for an learning experience in those patches so I don’t come out of it empty handed.
Jennifer Bielman
That is a very good philosophy. Thanks! 🙂
Jessica @ a GREAT read
OOh nice! I enjoy Amanda Carlson’s series!! It’s fun and I can’t wait for the next book!
Yeah, stress isn’t fun! I find I do the same with you, though for me it’s more like “try” not to sweat it! LOL! I guess I just try to do things that make me happy aren’t stressful! Like reading or spending time with friends and family! basically distractions from whatever it is that’s stressing you.
Hope you enjoy all your new reads!
My STS will be up tomorrow, be sure to stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

Jennifer Bielman
Yeah, spending time with others for some reason stresses me out more. lol. but books work!
Lekeisha
Great books this week. Girl, I haven’t read a book by Stine since high school.
Jennifer Bielman
Oh the good old days when Stine was the best part of high school.

I used to love R.L. Stine, but I wasn’t sure what age group this one was targeted at. Let us know what you think of it! Have a great weekend!
Jennifer Bielman
I will let you know. 🙂
Grace Fonseca
I got Pure Blooded as well this week after months of waiting to see if I would get approved. I hope you love all your new books.

Boo to sucky weeks but yes lo que será, será *whatever will be, will be* um and hells yes Undressed looks super smexy!
Jennifer Bielman
yup, that’s my motto.

After hurting my back earlier this year, I pretty much adopted that motto as well. I use to stress out so much about everything but then I realize all it did was make me not appreciate all the good that was still happening around me so, yep, that is pretty much how I deal wit it now as well.
Jennifer Bielman
That is a very good view on things. 🙂

I am looking forward to another scandalous Manhattanite novel!
Jennifer Bielman
Hell yeah!

R.L. Stein …. I’m curious how that book turns out. Sucky weeks suck. It depends on the rough patch or what’s stressing me. I love my punching bag, though.
Jennifer Bielman
Ooooh, yes, a punching bag would be awesome.

I am not the best person to ask about handling stress. I try to keep my life simple and tell myself, hey, I do the best I can. Hang in there, tomorrow is a new day and who knows what good things may come your way. 🙂
Jennifer Bielman
Thank you so much.

Pure Blooded sounds good, hope that you enjoy and have a great week.
Jennifer Bielman
Thanks!
Kristin
Oh man. I hope next week starts picking up for you. Nothing worse than having a bad go of things. I don’t really have a set way to deal with it. Sometimes it’s re-reading one of my fave books, sometimes it’s watching one of my fave comedies (usually The Proposal), and other times it’s a glass of wine. 😉
Jennifer Bielman
This week has been better.
Jaclyn Canada
I haven’t read anything by R.L. Stine in such a long time. I hope you enjoy it!
Jennifer Bielman
I know!!! Same here. Now I have two of his new books. So excited to try them.
