Welcome to week two of our bazillion-release July 26-31 listing and Reader's Choice contest. Harry Dresden was the hands-down most-requested new book in last week's list. What rocks your world from this one? I'd probably have to go with Andrea Creamer's Wolfsbane.

Win a copy of DRAGON'S OATH by PC & Kristin Cast-House of Night series
Okay, confession time. I'm one of the few people on the planet, it would seem, who has never read any of the humongously popular House of Night series. Yeah, shameful, I know. But what I do have is a copy to give away of the brand-new novella that accompanies the series. Dragon's Oath tells the story of House of Night's fencing instructor, Dragon Lankford.THE OFFICIAL BLURB: The first in a new mini-series of novellas from the authors of the House of Night, Dragon's Oath tells the story...

Review & Giveaway: EMBRACED BY BLOOD by Laurie London
Forget the funny stuff—time to read something dark and sexy. Embraced by Blood is the second in Laurie London's Sweetblood series, but works fine as a standalone. Think dark, tortured hero, strong-willed woman with a child at stake, a bad past relationship…and vampires. One of my favorite paranormal romance series to come along in a while. Want to win a copy? Read on…THE OFFICIAL BLURB: Alfonso Serrano is a hunted man. For months he's managed to elude the Darkbloods, vengeful foes who...

Preternatura Book Club: DEAD WITCH WALKING, Chapters 23-24
Welcome to this week's "meeting" of the Preternatura Book Club, where we're reading the first book in Kim Harrison's Hollows series, DEAD WITCH WALKING.
Here's how it works. Each week, I'll post a summary (spoiler alert!) on two chapters, and we'll chat about them. Try to minimize spoilers beyond what's happened in the book we've read so far. You can read along, read ahead, or just stop by and read the summaries. After the Book Club has been up a few days, I'll move it to archives so...

New Releases July 16-30 & Reader's Choice Contest (Part One)
We have an odd week in that there are no new releases on my lists! Yikes. But next week, on the 26th, there are a bazillion. Jeez, publishers, spread the love how 'bout it? Anyway, so I'm dividing the ginormous July 26 release list into two parts—one today and one next Monday, so you'll get two batches of books to choose from instead of just one. What rocks your world? I'm in a Dresdenlike frenzy, because I do love Harry.
