Sunday Shout Out!! (1)

Check Out the May 6th Sunday Shout HERE!

I'm introducing a new feature here at In the Hammock on Sundays. It's called "Sunday Shout Out" and it's a place where I can give a special shout out to those publishers and authors who have sent me books over the week, as well as those bloggers who have hosted contests that I've won! I'll also be giving shout outs to any other cool books, blogs or bookish news that I've spotted during the week.

I know a lot of times people don't have time to read reviews, so this is a way for readers to stop by and see a lot of books and news at a glance, and that way the publishers and authors can get even more publicity for their books!

I would also LOVE to see what books YOU would like to give a shout out to! Did you receive any review books this week? Win any contests? Maybe you spotted a new indie book at your local bookstore that you wanted to raise awareness about. If you'd like to link up to YOUR Sunday Shout Out, please leave your link in the comments, link back to this post, and I'll stop by and say hi!
Books for Review
"Summoning the Night" by Jenn Bennett


I've heard a lot of great things about the first book in the Arcadia Bell series!

"Deadly Descendant" by Jenna Black


What a cover! Love the colors!

"A Love Forbidden" by Kathleen Morgan


I'm so intrigued by this story and time period.

 "The Messenger" by Siri Mitchell


One of my favorite inspirational writers. This looks a bit different for her, but I can't wait to try it.

"The Pursuit of  Lucy Banning" by Olivia Newport


This little image doesn't do this GORGEOUS cover justice. It is one of the prettiest covers I've seen for a long time!! Not that I'm judging a book by its cover :)

Gotta Have It
Now for the book I just found this week, that I must have now!!!

"The Sweet Life" by Sam Talbot


My all-time favorite chef from Bravo's "Top Chef", Sam Talbot, has a new cookbook out. The book is geared towards a special diet for those with diabetes, but since I'm trying really hard to eat healthy, I think these recipes would work for me, too!

Book News

The real star of the Oscar-winning movie, "The Artist", Uggie the dog, has just signed (pawed) a book deal! The book will be titled "Uggie: My Story" and will be released by Simon & Schuster in October. I will be first in line for this one!!

Now it's YOUR turn! Do you have any books, authors, or blogs that you would like to give a Shout Out to? If you make your own post, please link back to this post, and leave your link in the comments section this weekend so I can check it out, and so that other readers can stop by too!!

  1. Love this feature!!!
    :D and Uggie! Uggie was the best part of that movie!! I was so ready not to like The Artist but Uggie won me over - and the actor does have a really appealing smile, I gotta say.

    LOL

    Oh, and that book by Sam? I need to get that, my sister had the biggest crush on him! I did too to be honest.

    Also, pretty covers galore!! :D Hope they turn out to be just as good!

  7. Let me know if you want to read Kindling the Moon first. I think you're going to miss a lot if you jump right into bk 2. It should make sense though.
    Love your new feature!

  20. Boy do your books really run the gamut! Is that Jenna Black the same one that writes the YA series Glimmerglass? Probably. The cookbook looks great, makes me hungry!

    Great meme!

  21. I love the cover for A Love Forbidden. The Summoning the Night cover reminds me a lot of the Chicagoland Vamp covers. I wonder if it's the same artist.
