It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (3.25.13)

It’s Monday What Are you Reading , hosted by Sheila, is the 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.

 

This past weekend I participated in another Bloggiesta and I got a ton done!!! First, I found a replacement for Google Reader – I’ve decided to go with Bloglovin. I do hope you’ll consider following me there. Second, I finally bit the bullet and signed up for a twitter account for my blog. Not sure how much I will use it, but I will try. You can follow me at @alwayswithabook. If you’re on twitter or using bloglovin’, please let me know so I can check it out.

    I'm curious about Sweet Tea Revenge…I joined a Cozies Challenge, so it sounds perfect.

    Here's MY MONDAY MEMES POST

      Sweet Tea Revenge is Laura Child's newest book in her Tea Shop Mystery series and I am hoping to get to it soon.

      I did…I hope she writes more soon as I've now listened to/read all her books.

    I read both Three Sisters and The Best Man for blog tours. I liked them both. Have a great reading week and thanks for visiting my blog.

      Yes, they were both great. Now I need to go back and read some of Kristan Higgins other books that I have on my iPad just waiting to be read!

      It was very good – have you read anything by Susan Mallery? She's one of my favorite authors!

    The Chalice has been making the rounds, look forward to what you think. Glad you are enjoying The Best Man. Have a great week.

      I'm looking forward to reading it. Was hoping to read The Crown before I read The Chalice, but it's not looking like I will have time for that.

      The Best Man was great!!!

      They are all pretty good…hope you check out my reviews to see if you will like them.

    I have The Best Man on request at the library. I hope you enjoy it!! I haven't read The Tea Shop mysteries yet either but they are on my ever growing cozy mystery list.

      The Best Man was great – funny and touching at the same time. I love the Tea Shop Mystery series and am really hoping to get to Sweet Tea Revenge soon.

    I've been thinking about getting Twitter myself. How are you liking it so far?
    Have an awesome week, Kristin!

      I'm still getting used to it. I definitely don't tweet all that much yet…let me know if you get it!

    Laura Childs is one of my favorite cozy mystery author. I am a little behind in reading that series, i need to catch up soon.

    • Kristin
      March 27, 2013 / 12:15 pm

      She's one of mine, too. I think it was either her scrapbooking series or the tea shop series that got me hooked on cozy mysteries.

    Looks like you've been busy! I've been trying Feedly as my replacement reader, but I'm not used to it yet. Why does Google always have to get rid of things I use?

    Following you on Twitter now! @bibliosaurustxt

      I know…so annoying! To be honest, I downloaded bloglovin, claimed my blog and added the link to my blog, but haven't really done much else with it. I really need a huge chunk of time to play around with it. I do like that I get an email each morning – a daily feed.

    I'm kind of embarrassed – I'm way way WAY behind on my reviews. Busy week but I'm hoping to get caught up over Easter 🙂

    Have a lovely reading week 🙂 What are you reading this week @ the Brunette Librarian’s Blog

    • Kristin
      March 27, 2013 / 12:18 pm

      Don't be embarrassed – I feel that I am always behind. And no sooner do I catch up than I find myself behind once again…it's a vicious cycle, but I've decided not to stress over it anymore. It is what it is and the reviews get up when they get up!
