Recently, I introduced 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.
Check out my first Sunday Shout Out post for even more info, here!
Contest Wins

Won from The Violet Hour. I'm so excited to read this one!
Books for Review

Gotta Have It
Now for the book I just found this week, that I must have now!!!
"Shelter Cats" by Michael Kloth
My boyfriend showed me this story at Peta Pixel about an Arizona photographer, Michael Kloth, who visits local animal shelters to take high quality photos of the animals in the hopes of attracting more people to adopt. Kloth has combined many of the photos into a book, the proceeds benefit the ASPCA. Check out his site Shelter Cats for more info.
Shelter Cats is already available and Shelter Puppies is released May 22nd!

I'm looking forward to receiving my copy of SIRENZ BACK IN FASHION. The first book was super funny! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm halfway through Wrecked right now, though I put it aside for the moment to read another book, but I like it so far. Hope you do as well! I'll be getting a copy of Sirenz Back in Fasion soon and I'll be reading Sirenz in the next week or two. They both look great. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHere's what I got this week!
I've read mixed reviews for Wrecked. Looking forward to see what you think of it. I just finished Of Poseidon and thought it was meh....I do like adding the boys POV from the mermaid perspective though.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the Shelter Cats of course. I worked in shelters for several years and whatever draws attention to getting them adopted is great!
I've working at a Vet before and I adore animals! I'll have to look into the Shelter pets books :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!

Awww, lots of cute animals today! I wish I could take them all home with me. Enjoy your new reads! :)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't be able to read that dog book without adopting one of them lol. I haven't heard of any of these books, but they look good. Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'm excited to read Pushing the Limits too. The cover reminds me of a Simone Elkeles book.
ReplyDeleteI'm totally interested in reading Wrecked. I'd love to know what you think about it!
ReplyDeleteThe dog and cat books sound totally awesome! I'm totally an animal lover. I actually adopted my cat from a shelter <3 A book like that would make me want to go adopt 5 more pets!
Here's what I got this week
I don't know any of these books but the cover of Wrecked is really hot ;p.
ReplyDeleteI hope you'll like them. Happy reading !
Oh my goodness those cats and dogs are adorable!!! I need the Shelter Dogs now!!

So say we all!
How sweet! I used to have an aversion to all cute things, but now my heart absolutely melts over photos of puppies and kitties. Sound like a worthy photo project.
ReplyDeleteOhhh!! I won a copy of Sirenz last year and even though I haven't gotten around to reading it yet, I still had no idea that there was going to be a sequel so soon! I hope you like it -- it's kind of inspired me to go back and read my copy of book one soon! :) And those kitties and puppies are just so adorable!
ReplyDeleteAwesome shout out this week, Carrie! Have a fantastic reading week!
I so want a kitten :/
ReplyDeleteThose Shelter books look like they would break your heart to read. I know just seeing Kittens and Puppies on TV needing homes make me break down like a pageant queen whose just won the title.
ReplyDeleteMy Weekly Wrap Up
I must have the kitty & puppy books. NOW. I turn the commercials that come on tv though, I can only watch them so many times. They are incredibly heart breaking. I feel bad I cant do more. I have to help the stray/ferals in my city & wish I could help them ALL over the world, especially the dogs of Peru.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a great week :)
TY for the listing of the books.
