Always With a Book

It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (7.8.13)

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.

It’s been a hot week – we had temps in the 90s and since it was almost too hot to be outdoors, I stayed in and read! If only I spent some time getting reviews done…maybe this week. My reading seems to be all over the place, but that’s because I’m trying to be a little more strategic in what I pick to read. I’m working on making progress with some of the many reading challenges I’m doing. 

Books Completed last week: 

  • Fly Away by Kristin Hannah (mine, audio book)
  • Almost Perfect by Susan Mallery (library book)
  • Sister of the Bride by Susan Mallery (e-book)
  • Finger Lickin’ Fifteen by Janet Evanovich (library audio book)
  • The Apple Orchard by Susan Wiggs (e-book) 
  • The Newcomer by Robyn Carr (review e-book)

Reading Now:  

  • The Shadow Tracer by Meg Gardiner (review book)
  • Sizzling Sixteen (library audio book) – car

about you?  What does your reading
week look like this

week!

    I really do need to catch up on the Stephanie Plum series. She is a perfect character to spend a hot summer with. My Monday Report is here. Happy reading!

    A great reading week during hot weather. We have been cool here, which has been great with all the wedding preparations we have, but I am ready for warmer weather. We are reading quite a few of the same books. Have a great week.

    The hot weather certainly helped you with tackling a book or two eh!
    I had an unsuccessful week with blogging, and reading to an extent, last week so hopefully this one will be better.

    I've read one book by Tess Gerritsen, but I haven't picked up any others since! It's hard to know where to start when an author has so many books.
    Enjoy your books this week!

    I really must get around to Fly Away and the other one I want to read is The Firebird.

    Thanks for your review of The Orphan Train that enticed me into reading it. Loved it as you know.

    I had fun reading Remember Me by Kinsella – good book with a love-me/hate-me character.

    We had temps ranging from the 90's to the 100's also – which is hard to take when our weather is usually cooler. ugh. I hear we're in store for more. yeay! 🙂

    Have a great week.

    hope the cools down some for you.
