Time to time, on Jorie Loves A Story, there will be bookish events featured on this blog! To help make it a bit easier to keep up with the Book Cover Reveals, Author Interviews, Author Guest Posts, Book Tour Stops, and the books received in exchange for an honest review that alight on my blog, I thought it would be best to create a page specifically to serve as a one-stop archive for easy access! I am always striving to make Jorie Loves A Story fully cross-referenced to achieve this goal! This listing will be organised in the manner which each entry first appeared *LIVE!*
This is a companion page to my sidebar slideshow & promo area:
Book Blogger | Book Cheerleader ‘proudly hosting’ where you can click on the badges per blog touring company and/or publisher I regularly host on Jorie Loves A Story. You will be visiting their websites and getting to know a bit more about the stories I love to read.
I am electing to cross-post certain book reviews to my Riffle Lists at my discretion. I updated my Review Policy to this effect where you can learn more.
*NOTE*: IF you see “Interview or Q&A”, I have submitted Questions of which have been responded back with personal answers of the person I am interviewing. Likewise, Guest Posts are given a topic to discuss of my choosing.

6-7th January, 2015 | “The Iris Fan” by Laura Joh Rowland
Pub Date: 9.12.14 | Book Synopsis on Riffle
| Featured Review + Author Interview | *booked in September 2014
Will be reading several novels ahead of “The Iris Fan” via ILL (inter-library loan) in order to get a feel for the series as a whole. The first book in the series “Shinju” was available to borrow locally however, I put in requests for the following: “The Incense Game” and “The Shogun’s Daughter” to understand the sequences ahead of when “The Iris Fan” take place as this is a series of 18 novels once “The Iris Fan” is released! I try to stay mindful of series and read previous installments as time allows when hosting blog tours.

Pub Date: 21.1.14 | Book Synopsis on Riffle
| Featured Review | *booked in December 2014
Will be reading the first novel of this 17 book series, “A Test of Wills” as well as “Proof of Guilt” which was the very last mystery prior to “Hunting Shadows”. As keeping with my own personal edification, I like to know how a series begins as much as to be in step with where the last book has left off. I do this in case due to time constraints I cannot read a series in full which is past 5 books in total.

| Featured Review | *meant to read This Gulf of Time and Stars
I simply ran out of time – whilst I was reading this book series back-to-back without breaks – including over 35+ straight forsaking sleep! I became so very attached to the characters and the world-building Ms Czerneda created for us to dissolve inside. My reviews of the last three (then published) novels of The Clan Chronicles will resume Spring 2016.
