It's Monday! What are you reading?




This meme is hosted by Book Journey, I've seen a lot of people on some blogs I've started to follow who do this, and I think its awesome as far as sharing, plus it could totally help me with my monthly reflections meme I'm doing now too.

This week hasn't been as busy as most weeks for me, I've finished with a challenge on goodreads that had me reading like a maniac, I also did a read-a-thon challenge.  I had a bunch of books all of the sudden get approved at NetGalley, so I read quite a few review books.  It's a three day weekend for me, so far aside from grocery shopping all I have done is readreadread.  I tackled a author requested review that ended up being a long book, but a good one.  It was nice picking a book out to read that wasn't challenge involved.  Been working hard on my blog, so far I don't have many followers, just lots of posts, but I am getting enjoyment out of it, it's something that is mine, that I can share with the world my love of the written word.


Here are the reviews that I have written this past week:
The Ice Goddess by Hannelore Moore
Beyond Coincidence by Jacquie Underdown
Bridge of Hope by Lisa J Hobman
Escape by Sydney Holmes
Not Quite Dead by Sela Carsen
Once More With Feeling by Megan Crane
After The Rain by Lilian Darcy

Since Last Monday I have read:





So here is what I am working on right now.


Audiobook:


This is book 2 of the dustland series, it's been slow reading because mostly I listen to it at work.

For Reading:


A NetGalley review book, I am also going to pick out a paperback to bring with me to the pool in a little bit, not sure which one, I'm thinking:


I can't really pick anything beyond that, for the week ahead, because every day changes for me, I can't plan ahead with books, I have a HUGE TBR pile, and I'm anxious to read every one of them.


Now...ITS YOUR TURN!:) What are you reading? Leave your link and I'll be sure to stop by!

  3. I'm sure you saw my crazy long post. :) I'm still not reading, except listening to Goblet at night. I'm enjoying doing other things than reading and I still have a ton to do with SB, and letters and such.

  5. The two Harlequin books interest me. I used to read those by the bucketfuls until I started to review. Now, I don't seem to have time but I want to get back to them.

    Have a great week!

    1. I used to read them all the time too, they seemed to be really popular a bunch of years back, I don't ever seem to find them in places like walmart anymore like I used to

  6. I've been meaning to read Gone for a long time now! I'm going to have to move it up my TBR list. And I know what you mean...it doesn't really matter if you have a lot of followers, it's about doing something for you, and being able to share with others. :) That's how I feel about it anyway. LOL

    Thanks for stopping by my blog this week!

    1. Dust lands was pretty good, took some time to get into because of the author's way of dialogue, Hunger is part 2 of a series, read Gone by Michael Grant first, its book 1:)

  11. That is a lot of books for one week. I wish I had that much time last week, but babysitting three kids was tough.

  14. Wow! I'm so impressed you wrote so many reviews.I've been wondering about Gone, I'll have to check out your review. You've read so many books too, I'm in awe. I can't really plan ahead of my reading choices either. :) I have to be in a kind of mood to read a certain book.

  15. Wow, you wrote a lot of reviews on 1 week! Our whole family liked Blood Red Road, though my son was disappointed in book 2 - will be interested to hear what you think.

  17. Motherless looks interesting. I've read a book that Healy co-wrote, but I haven't read any of her solo books. I hope you have a great week!
