It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (9.23.13)

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.

What a week!!! I went to two author events, getting to meet both Hank Phillippi Ryan and Sue Grafton.  Both were really cool and I got signed books to add to my signed book shelf – yes, I have a whole shelf devoted to signed books and it’s quite full! Then this weekend was Bloggiesta and I got so much done!!! I actually got all my outstanding reviews done and scheduled, plus I set up the posts for all the upcoming tours/reviews I have scheduled the rest of this month and in October. It feels so good to be ahead!!!

about you?  What does your reading
week look like this

happy reading and have a good
week!

    It must be a great feeling to be all up to date. A profitable weekend. I haven't read any of the books you mention, however a couple of the authors are on my 'hit' list for some time in the future.

    I'd love to be all caught up on my reviews! I have a spreadsheet to keep track of all the review books I still need to read and review. Way too many 🙁

    I hope you enjoy The Husband's Secret. I really liked it. I need to read The Girl You Left Behind for review and I want to read The Spymistress. I look forward to reading your thoughts on that one.

      It doesn't happen often, but I'm hoping it stays like this for a while!

      I'm really looking forward to reading The Husband's Secret. I loved The Spymistress – my review will be up Wednesday!

    Way to go on catching up on everything. I've recently started setting up my posts on a weekly basis. It's helped out a lot.

      I can't wait to start reading The Husband's Secret – it was delayed in the mailing and now I just have to find time to read it.

      The Spymistress was really good – my review will be up Wednesday.

    I read Just Like Fate by Cat Patrick & Suzanne Young. It was a pleasant book that makes you stop and think. I'm currently reading A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin and The Giver by Lois Lowry. The latter is for banned books week. I hope you enjoy your week of reading.
