It’s Monday…What Are You Reading? (9.9.13)

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.

The mantra for this week has got to be “Get those reviews
done!!!” I am once again behind on them and it’s making me nuts!!!
Hoping I can bang out a whole bunch this week and maybe, just maybe, find myself ahead of the game!

  • Maine by J. Courtney Sullivan (library audio book)
  • Queen’s Gambit by Elizabeth Fremantle (review book)

    Good luck getting your reviews done, I'm sure you'll feel very relieved once they're out of the way! Queen's Gambit is on my tbr stack, I never tire of the Tudors!
    Have a great week and happy reading 🙂

    Is the Good Wife anything in common with the TV series?

      No, it's the 3rd book of Jane Porter's Brennan Sisters series.

    I always seem to be behind on reviews! Hope you are able to get caught up soon.

    I'll have to check out your review of The Hero. I read that one recently too.

      Yes, it's a never-ending battle – read too much and the reviews pile up!

    I want to read The Good Wife, and The Good Woman and The Good Daughter by Jane Porter. I've only read her fluffy chick-lit books before but these sound really good! I read The Other Woman by Hank Phillippi Ryan and am looking forward to reading her second in that series-I'm a new fan of hers. Thanks.

      Jane Porter's Brennan Sisters series is soo good. I hope you get to them soon!

      I'm a new fan of HPR too and can't wait to read the next one as well!

    You are, once again, a lot more organized than me! (The first step is making the list….) Enjoy your reading and reviewing. The reviewing part is work, but it does bring me to a deeper level with most books.

    Nice week. You got a lot of reading done.

    I am out of town and not getting too much reading done, but I am having fun. Went to a Hachette book event and received 9 books. The event was FABULOUS.
