begin my week and allows me to
focus on what
needs to be read and to see what I
have or have not
accomplished the previous week.

discovering new books by
visiting other participants
blogs

What
about you? What does your reading
week look like this
week? Whatever it is,
happy reading and have a good
week!
I want to read The Sugar Queen and The Weird Sisters. Barefoot Season sounds like fun. I am definitely in the mood for summery books though we are supposed to get a little snow today 🙁
I have The Shoemaker's Wife but haven't read it yet. I'm glad you were able to figure out the audio download thing. Have a great week!
I'm listening to both The Sugar Queen and The Weird Sisters right now…I'm almost done with The Sugar Queen and I am loving it. I just started The Weird Sisters and so far, it seems pretty good. The Shoemaker's Wife was fantastic!!!
I am starting to get into the mood with summery books, too. I have another one on reserve at the library – Elin Hilderbrand's new book…that always signifies the start of summer – reading her new book!
Hope you don't get too much snow!
I want to know what you think of Weird Sisters. I listened to it on audio too and wasnt overly thrilled – maybe I missed something. Happy World Book Night!
I just started it this morning while at the gym – it was my goal last week to figure out how to get an audio from the library system to my ipod. So far, it's a little weird…I'll let you know what I think once I'm done.
I'm a huge fan of Sarah Addison Allen, The Sugar Queen was such a great read- looking forward to your thoughts on the audio book!
I should finish it today – I'm actually listening to it right now as I start visiting everyone participating in this meme. It's a cute story – and all the candy references are making me want to head to the candy store and load up!!!
Ooh, you have books from some of my favorite authors: Trigiani, Thayer, Kinsella, Green…to name a few. Hope you enjoy your reads…and thanks for visiting my blog. I couldn't believe I scored The Witness at a low price. Double coupons!
Double coupons are always a good thing!
I've had the Last Queen on my TBR list for awhile, it sounds so interesting and I can't wait to finally get to it 🙂
Yes, it does. I've read another by CW Gortner and really enjoyed it.
Yay! I am glad you figured out Overdrive to iPod! I am looking forward to What Doesn't Kill You! Have a great reading/listening week.
Thanks again for your help!!! What Doesn't Kill You is really good so far.
I enjoyed Babyville! Lots of other great titles too! Happy Reading this week!

It’s Monday! What are you reading?
I really enjoy Jane Green's books and am slowly making my way through all her titles.
So many books!!! How fun. I love starting with Book Journey's meme, too – great way to do Monday, definitely!! And your stack of read/to-read/reviewed just makes me *sigh* with satisfaction. How wonderful!!!
I find it's the best way to organize what I have going on…plus it helps keep my motivated to get reviews done.
Great haul this week. I been wanting to read Barefoot Season. I love Susan Mallery's book. Have a great week & happy reading!

I was able to reserve it from the library and it came in last week…I will be reading it next!
I don't recognize a single title on your list! That's lots of new stuff for me to browse on Amazon–thanks…
I find I am always adding to my tbr list on these days when I visit everyone else.
Wow, you manage to read a lot in a week!! Thanks for stopping by my blog and taking the time to comment.
Enjoy your books this week –

Some weeks I get lots of reading in and some weeks, not so much.
So glad you were able to get Overdrive to work for your iPod! I love having the option of downloading books from home 🙂
It was pretty easy once I figured it out. And, yes, it is very convenient!
Judging by the list of books you finished this week, I would say you are definitely enjoying audiobooks. They make life so much more enjoyable, don't they?
Have a great week!
Yes, I do enjoy audio books. I listen in my car for the most part and then every once in a while, I bring them in while doing paper work. Now I plan on listening while walking on the treadmill at the gym.
You have a great week too and I'm happy you got your ipod figured out. I finished reading Spiders Bite and it's an excellent book imo. I love Jennifer Esteps writing .
I'm not familiar with that author – will have to check her out.
Did you enjoy The Shoemaker's Wife? sounds nice. 🙂
I absolutely loved it…it was one book that I didn't want to end!
I've heard alot about Sugar Queen. It sounds great. Have a good week!
It was a fun, sweet story.
Whew! You get many books in! These title look great and happy reading!
It was a good week!
I read The Sugar Queen – great book. After I read it, I've since bought two more of AddisonAllen's books.
I want to find out more about The Weird Sisters –
Have fun reading!
The Sugar Queen was the third SAA book I've read – she's my new favorite author!!!
Wow! You are so much better organized than I am. Having the next three books you are going to read already lined up puts me to shame. I hope you enjoy your reads. Thanks for stopping by:)
I try to stick with what I list as coming up, but sometimes it changes, especially if library books come in!
I'm curious about The Shoemaker's Wife. I haven't read a book by this author but know I should.
Have a wonderful week!
It was amazing…quite possibly one of my favorite books ever!
Sorry I am late dropping by this week, I hope you are enjoying Sugar Queen – Sarah Addison Allen is one of my favourite authors

I did enjoy it – I finished it Monday afternoon! Sarah Addison Allen is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors, too.
