Sunday Shout Out (2)



Last week, 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!

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!

  16. Thanks for stopping by Carrie! I'm a huge fan of your blog and an old follower =) Leah at LC's Adventures in Libraryland created my blog design and she's absolutely fabulous!

    I've been dying to read Goddess Interrupted for awhile now. I love that series and any mythological retellings. It's actually in my Amazon basket right now, I've just been holding back on spending more book money even though I really really want it =)

    Have a great week!
