It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (10.22.12)

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.

Since Bloggiesta at the end of September, I have made a point of trying to stay up-to-date with my reviews. I have to say, I like being this on top of things! I started using a new organizational tool that I saw during Bloggiesta and that is helping tremendously. Hopefully I will be able to keep this up!

What
about you?  What does your reading
week look like this

happy reading and have a good

    Seriously Bloggiesta rocked for me. I got introduced to Evernote, and I'm using it as a blog calendar to plan in advance, and it's totally killer! Hope you enjoy your reads this week.

      I didn't look into evernote, but I did make my own calendar/to-do list folder and it is definitely helping me stay on track!!! I am also trying to plan in advance and it definitely is less stressful that way!!!

    You need to share your "new organizational tool!" I need all the tips I can find.

      I will put a post together later this week – but I can't take all the credit…I got the idea from someone else during Bloggiesta.

    Wow, you posted a lot of reviews last week, and it does look like you've read quite a bit too. Congratulations. We didn't join the latest Bloggiesta this time around, perhaps next time. 🙂

      I highly recommend joining in next time if you can – I always end up getting so much done and leave the weekend feeling re-energized about blogging!

    I always love a good Elizabeth Berg book…and Trigiani is another favorite. I'm going over to check out your review…haven't read Milk Glass Moon.

    Enjoy your week.

      I have a bunch of Elizabeth Berg's books on my bookshelf just waiting to be read – I really enjoy her books. And Adriana Trigiani is one of my favorite authors – you just can't go wrong with her!

      I'm hoping I am going to enjoy it…it's definitely not my usual type of read!

    I just finished Still Alice by Lisa Genova and I loved it, sad and terrifying disease. I try so hard to be organised and usually fall down dismally lol so I'm looking forward to that post of yours!
    Have a great week and happy reading 🙂

    The Lincoln Conspiracy sounds really interesting. I am fascinated by books about US history and finding out more about certain time periods and people.
