Always With a Book

It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (7.15.13)

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.

We ended up heading up to our cabin this past weekend and it was so relaxing. I was able to get quite a bit of reading time in while hubby busied himself with little projects – he has a hard time sitting still up there! It’s amazing what happens when you take a break from social media…you end up being so much more productive!!!

Thank goodness the Mini-Bloggiesta is this coming weekend…as you can see below, I have a ton of reviews to catch up on, plus a few other blog maintenance tasks to do. Will you be participating?

    I have A Hundred Summers for review and need to read it still. I also want to read Robyn Carr's series. I just downloaded The Wanderer from my library. I also want to read the Virgin River series at some point.

    Have a great week! I don't think I will be participating in the mini Bloggiesta but if my vacation plans fall through then I might sign up too.

    I'm working on Nineteen. I'm reading it slowly. Such a great summer read!

    Here's my It's Monday. Love to have you stop by!

    I'm looking forward to seeing what you thought of A Hundred Summers. I won't be participating in Bloggiesta. We fly to Europe soon.

    No Bloggiesta for me I'm afraid but hope you get through everything on your to-do list! You're right about social media, I'd get so much extra done if I had a social media ban one weekend a month lol
    Have a great week and happy reading 🙂

    Susanna Kearsley has been one of my favourites. Reconstructing Amelia is on my TBR. Hope to get to it eventually.

    You have lots of good looking books…some I've enjoyed a lot.

    I'm off to check out some reviews…and here's MY MONDAY READING POST

    Time away from social media does help reading time. I go into withdrawal without my internet though. Come see what I read last week at Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!

    Ow curious about your thoughts on the Painted Girls. I really need to find time to read that one. I love Tess Gerritsen too but have not read all her books. Have a great week!

    I have read all the Janet Evanovich books and The Apple Orchard is on my kindle. I have The Shadow Tracer at the top of my wishlist– I really like Meg Gardiner after discovering her last year. Enjoy your week of reading.

    Nice to get away for awhile to a cabin and lots of reading! I must read an Elin Hilderbrand book. Must see if our library stocks any of hers.

    Enjoy your books this week. I finished What the Spell? by Brittany Geragotelis (4/5 stars) last week. This week I'm reading Solaris by Stanislaw Lem, Fields of Elysium by A.B. Whelan, and OCD Love Story by Corey Ann Haydu.
