Here I am again with more books sleeves. I think I might buy a few more and then stop. Or maybe I should just stop as there are so many!!!!
I'm going to add a link to the two places I buy the most from. This first one is:
BOOKBESTIESUK
I got this particular shop to make me two sleeves approved by two of my Goodreads author friends. She won't make book covers without permission. Also, this shop makes different size sleeves which I love as I always get the large for huge hardbacks!
First we have none other than, Mark Lawrence. I only asked for a few of his book covers for her to make so they wouldn't be too crowded on the sleeve and they are freaking awesome! Thank you Mark!
My next author is, David Estes. He kindly gave his permission as well and he sleeve is as awesome as Mark's. Thank you, David! FYI: I'm going to be coming after some more of my author's that actually talk to me on Goodreads =)
Next are just a few more random sleeves I bought from this shop!
I don't remember where I got these random 3 and I might have shown them in Book Sleeves Part 1. I thought I would just put them up here together.
Next we have:
ClutterGirlDesigns
I have only 3 this time around from her shop. I also forgot to add the bookmarks she sent with the sleeves. She does that and I'm stupid. I have several more sleeves I want to get from her so we shall see about another Book Sleeve Blog.
First up we have this beautiful design that is my favorite. She will personalize them for you as well =)
And last but not least are some crazy ones I made. Boy are they jacked up looking. Lol, but I wanted to make some while I could before my wrists got tendonitis in them!
Okay, that's all folks! For now anyway! I hope you guys enjoyed!
Love,
Mel ♥
Hi guys! I told my friends on Goodreads I would share my walk in the Colors Of Cancer if I was able to do it. So, here we are! I would like to upload a video but I'm not going to attempt that. They had us survivors on stage and did a little thing but it's okay. Also, this is for all forms of cancer ~ mine was cervical cancer.
I did take like 41 pictures but I'm not adding all of those, just a few. I hope you guys enjoy them. It made my day that I was able to do this! I'm also very happy and grateful to some of my real life friends and some Goodreads friends that donated to my walk in particular. Love you guys and girls! ♥
This first picture is of me and dad before the walk/run. Dad has on the regular Colors of Cancer Shirt and I have on the Survivor shirt and sash. I also have one of the pretty shirts he has on.
Here is a beautiful Great Dane that came out to support us cancer survivors and those still fighting. I wish I would have known, I might have brought my Greyhound Lucy and dressed her up =) I loved this guy though!
Next is a picture of me signing my pinwheel, I couldn't think of what all to say so one of my friends started writing on it too.
Here is me next to my pinwheel
Next up we have some of us sitting on the breast cancer chair. It almost killed us getting up and down!!!
Next is a picture of me and my friend that works at the radiation oncology. She's so wonderful to have as a friend, she keeps me going. I'm not naming names for privacy reasons.
Next is me doing a little talk ON MICROPHONE with a sweet guy from channel 9
Next we have some pics me and dad and me and my friend took at a photo van. It was so much fun!
Here is a picture of one of two kids wearing capes for childhood cancer. Soooo sweet!
Next is our team.
Then we have me showing off my colors of cancer bracelets and being a fool! =D
Me really being a fool with a new friend dad made with his family at the walk. I wish my friend took this as a live photo because she got me looking stupid. Omg! =D
Next we have the 10K runners going before us walkers.
Next is me and dad by the water
Next is dad, my friend, me and another cancer friend from our cancer group. We are getting ready to start! =)
Next we have some pics of walking along.

Here are us survivors on stage.
And last but not least, here is a picture of my loot. I'm not adding any more pictures as I said there are sooo many. I had such a wonderful time and met more wonderful people. This was such a great time! I look forward to doing more of these walks!
Thank you guys for supporting me!
Love,
Mel ♥

Four destinies
collide in a unique fantasy world of war and wonders, where empire is
won with enchanted steel and magical animal companions fight alongside
their masters in battle.
A soldier with a curse
Tala
lost her family to the empress’s army and has spent her life avenging
them in battle. But the empress’s crimes don’t haunt her half as much as
the crimes Tala has committed against the laws of magic... and her own
flesh and blood.
A prince with a debt
Jimuro has
inherited the ashes of an empire. Now that the revolution has brought
down his kingdom, he must depend on Tala to bring him home safe. But it
was his army who murdered her family. Now Tala will be his redemption—or
his downfall.
A detective with a grudge
Xiulan is an
eccentric, pipe-smoking detective who can solve any mystery—but the
biggest mystery of all is her true identity. She’s a princess in
disguise, and she plans to secure her throne by presenting her father
with the ultimate prize: the world’s most wanted prince.
A thief with a broken heart
Lee
is a small-time criminal who lives by only one law: Leave them before
they leave you. But when Princess Xiulan asks her to be her partner in
crime—and offers her a magical animal companion as a reward—she can’t
say no, and soon finds she doesn’t want to leave the princess behind.
This
band of rogues and royals should all be enemies, but they unite for a
common purpose: to defeat an unstoppable killer who defies the laws of
magic. In this battle, they will forge unexpected bonds of friendship
and love that will change their lives—and begin to change the world.
This effing book broke me in half and made me soar!!
Just
when I’m down about reading, I find a freaking gem! This book is like
nothing I have ever read before and it gave me all of the feels!!
I love every single one of these characters immensely!
What
reeled me in from the summary was the animal stuff. I mean those who
know me could have figured that one out! But there is so much more to
this story and it ripped my heart out.
The
book is about family, war, vengeance, bonding with animals and things,
heartbreak and a bit of comedy thrown in for good measure.
Bottom line, I loved it so very much!!
*Thank you to Netgalley and the Pub for a digital copy of this wonderful book.*
I must totter off now and pre-order my physical copy!
Happy Reading!
Mel 🖤🐶🐺🐾
GOODREADS REVIEW
Hi guys! This is my first ever Fae Crate Box. I'm a little disappointed because I didn't get a spoiler card so this is going to be a crappy showing for you guys as I can't tell you from what books things were inspired from =( Also, I'm surprised the stupid mail service didn't tear something as the box was beat up and ripped really bad. But, I'm going to show you the things anyway and tell you what they are at least.
First up we have the beautiful Fae Crate Coin! I love the words on this one and I love the little bag it comes in!
Next we have a cool pen that changes phrases each time you click it =)
Next, I have no idea what this is, it looks like a charm or necklace of some kind because it has a little hole where you would put a chain? I don't even know if I have it facing the right way!
Next is the beautiful post card they have in every box! I don't know who these are but it's beautiful. I wish I could have all of the ones from past boxes!
Next we have one of those flags you would hang in your garden, at least that's where we hang ours!
Next is a beautiful books sleeve. Personally, I like the ones I get from Etsy better because I get them with thick material. But this has an amazing graphic on it and I know no idea who they are =(
Next we have the cutest little container of incinse <-- I spelled that wrong! I think the little tiny plate to sit them on is soooo cute. I'm going to give this to my cousin =)
And finally, we have the book. I hope I like is as I'm not too big into contemporary. We have the signed bookplate and the letter from author as well.
Happy Reading Everyone!
Once again, I'm sorry I didn't have a spoiler card to tell y'all what was what =(
