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.
How is it July 1st already? I need to get some serious reading in if I am going to be successful in my reading challenges! I have some I haven’t even started…good thing there are some bookish events coming up that will help me out. Stay tuned for details!
Speaking of July 1 – as of today Google Reader is history. As a replacement, I am using Bloglovin’ which I actually like. It’s relatively easy to navigate and is compatible with both my phone (an Android) and my iPad. What are you using now?

What
about you? What does your reading
week look like this
week? Whatever it is,
happy reading and have a good
week!
You've had such a productive week. Enjoy your new books.
Yes, it was a pretty good week…thanks!
I hear you, I've got to pick up the pace or I'm not going to finish challenges. I'm following you on Bloglovin, I find it easy to use too. Enjoy your lovely line up of books 🙂
I know…if only I spent as much time reading as I did online I'd be much further ahead of the game!
Looks like you're on a good book roll! I like Bloglovin'. Have a great week!
I'm hoping it continues!
I am using Bloglovin too. I never really checked my Google Reader very often so I don't miss it I guess.
I want to read The Apple Orchard and A Hundred Summers. Great books for this time of year! I loved The Firebird.
I agree that this summer is just going by too quickly. I am not ready for it to be July.
I just started The Apple Orchard last night and only got a few pages in before falling asleep…but I do enjoy Susan Wiggs' books, so I'm hoping this one is as good!
I loved The Firebird as well…did you read The Winter Sea?
I look forward to seeing reviews on some of the books you've mentioned here.
When I was compiling my monthly round up post I had a 'It's July!' moment… I don't have any challenges to complete but I am a little behing on my Goodreads count.
I too am using Bloglovin'. It seems easy enough.

I can't believe how fast this year is flying by!
The Apple Orchard looks so enticing…I have added it to my list.
I've finally put BlogLovin' on my Blogger sites…I'm not sure how to transfer the followers over from Google….I transferred the ones I was following, but I guess the followers just have to click on the new icon.
Enjoy your week. Here's MY MONDAY READING POST
It's pretty good so far…hoping to get some reading time in this afternoon!
Susanna Kearsley is one of several authors I keep buying books by, but never getting around to reading! Like Kate Morton and Elizabeth Chadwick. I figure the important thing is to have them in my book collection, and I can get to them when I want to, right? 🙂
I'm not sorry to see Google Reader go, I've decided. I stopped using it because it was so clunky – I guess they stopped spending money on it some time ago!
Have a great week!
I was the same until I got The Firebird for the SheReads book club…now I can't wait to go back and read some of her other books! I also have a few Kate Morton books sitting on my shelf waiting to be read!
Ow you got some nice reading material up there. Susanna Kearsley and Kristin Hannah… Enjoy your week!
You always have one of the best books lists. Hope you're enjoying them.
Happy reading!

Thanks…I will say putting this list together each week does keep me organized and gets me excited to read some of the books I have!
I am reading Fly Away now also, what are your thoughts? I'm not impressed wished she had stopped at Firefly Lane.
I'm enjoying it…curious to see how it all plays out.
So many of the books I either love or want to read!I have never read a Sophie Kinsella book yet, I must at least read one to see if I like her writing.
So many books there I want to read – Looking For Me, The Lavender Garden, The Winter Sea. I look forward to your reviews!
I still need to read Fly Away but Ive not long finished The Shadow Tracer – I enjoyed it
Wishing you a great week!
