My internship has just ended, and it’s moments like this that truly made me realize how fast time goes by. Time is truly an irreplaceable treasure that would cause regret if it is wasted.
I again had some fantastic hauls this week (if you want to see in detail my monthly recap for ARC see here) to the point that I don’t know where to start. I wonder if I’m the only one that feels this – the pure joy of getting approved of so many good books and not knowing where to start because you’re excited to read them equally.
How are your weeks? In your personal life and blogging life?

This Month Wrap Up: Catching Up
book promotion of the week
I believe every book and all its effort behind its creation should be recognized. As a book blogger, even though my platform is not as big as others is still a platform that is mine, and I will use it as a tool to help promote every effort behind the art of literature. If you are interested in being featured in this section, please shoot me a message in my message box or message me! Writers and readers are two sides of the same coin, and I’m just doing my part to support them.

A forbidden encounter with an old woman from the Southern Quarter will help her realize that it is not the things happening around her that matter most.

About the author
G. Sauvé had an unusual childhood. He grew up in a straw bale house. He was homeschooled. And he didn’t have a TV until he was a teenager. No wonder he fell in love with the written word at such a young age. He wrote his first book at fifteen (it sucked), and he now resides in Montréal, where he spends his days writing (much improved) novels and making bad puns.
Pronunciation: G. So-vey
He loves to hear from his readers. Contact him at: GSauve.ca

Rijel 12: The Rise of New Australia
Author: King Medlin
Genre: Science Fiction
Publisher: Chandra Press
_______________________________________________________
If you like Star Wars, Battlefield Earth, and Forever War, you’ll love Rijel 12: The Rise of New Australia!
The remote Intergalactic Penal Colony on the planet Rijel 12 is a very profitable enterprise. Its desolate surface is an uninhabitable wasteland relentlessly scorched by its sun, but inside the planet is a vast treasure trove of the most precious resources in the galaxy.
Prisoners sentenced to Rijel 12 know it’s a one-way ticket. It used to be a convict would serve their time and come home. That stopped a while ago. Inmates are forced to work the mines in wretched conditions and the death rate is staggering. Luckily for the warden, new inmates arrive monthly to replenish the labor pool. Business has never been better.
From the darkness of their miserable existence, one prisoner decides to take a stand and begins to organize a resistance. Inmates rally to the cause and prepare for rebellion. Can the rag-tag rebels of ‘New Australia’ succeed in their quest for freedom or will the warden and the overpowering might of the Interplanetary Authority extinguish their only hope?
From new author, King Everett Medlin, comes an action-packed epic of hope, rebellion, and the quest for redemption.
About the author
King Everett Medlin has been writing since 2013, when he first developed the idea for Rijel 12. It was originally designed to be a SciFi series, with the objective of creating several short installments. Instead he got a lucky break when Chandra Press from San Diego responded favorably to the original draft, deciding to publish it as a full length novel. King lives in Denver, Colorado with his lovely wife Caroline and has two grown children. He’s a graduate of the University of Oklahoma where he played college Rugby; and remains a diehard Sooners fan to this day. His specialties are Science Fiction and Mystery/Suspense novels, focusing on unusual stories with intriguing plot-lines and amazing characters.
