It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (10.1.12)

It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, isthe perfect way
for me to
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.
I also enjoy
discovering new books by
visiting other participants
blogs.

I can’t believe it’s October already…this year is certainly flying by! I wasn’t around last weekend – we went up to our cabin for 6 days, so this post is covering all my reading happenings for the last 2 weeks. We had a great time at the cabin, but it was quite chilly a few mornings – down to the 30s! I got a ton of reading in, which is good considering this past weekend I didn’t get much reading time due to Bloggiesta! Speaking of which, I got lots done during this weekend festivity, including catching up on my never-ending list of reviews to write. If only I can stay caught up!

      It was great – I finished 4 books and started another! I loved the cooler weather – I did do a little hiking and it was just the right temp for that!

    Glad you had a wonderful time at the cabin and good on you catching up on so many reviews. Everyone seems to be reading Love Anthony, looking forward to your thoughts. Happy reading 🙂

      I don't think I've ever been this up-to-date on my reviews…hope I can keep it up!

      Love, Anthony is really good so far! Deborah Messing, from Will & Grace, is the narrator and she's great!

    Glad you got a lot accomplished during Bloggiesta, a headache curtailed my participation. It is hard to believe its October already!

      Oh…that sucks. I can totally relate to being sidelined by headaches – there's nothing worse than not being able to do what you want b/c of a headache. Hope you are feeling better!

    I reviewed Love Anthony this week. Robin Carr is a favorite escape author for me.

      I just started listening to it and am loving it. I am enjoying all Robyn Carr Virgin River series – hoping to be caught up in that series by the end of the year!

      I'm just about finished with it – it's hysterical. I have it on my iPod and listen to it while walking at the treadmill at the gym and I keep laughing out loud!

    Those are all new books to me. Happy reading. My favorite book this week was Dr. Seuss: The Cat Behind the Hat by Caroline W. Smith. Please come see what I'm reading now.

      I'm not familiar with that book – will have to look into it.
