Spring Clean-up in Iowa |
On my blog
I signed up for Goodreads this week. I wish I had done it several years ago, but I'm enjoying it now. It's a great place to connect with other people reading the same kinds of books I do and also to list the books I've read.
Even though we spent much of the week traveling, I managed to post some things on the blog this week:
The Sunday Post--March 31
April 2013 Books
Review: Wake Me When the Sun Goes Down by Lisa Olsen
Books read
I read several books last week:
Monster in My Closet by R. L. Naquin (review pending)
Apocalyptic Moon by Eva Gordon (review pending)
The Scrapyard Incident by Phillip Nolte (review pending)
E-books bought
Cold Magic by Kate Elliott
Pooka in My Pantry by R. L. Naquin
Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver
Fledgling by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller
Storybound by Marissa Burt
Wide Open by Deborah Coates
Grave Mercy by Robin LaFevers
The Heart of Matter by Evan Currie
I'm excited to read some of these books. Other than the books by Steve Miller/Sharon Lee, R. L. Naquin and Kate Elliott I haven't read any of these authors' books. It's always fun to find new authors and one of my reading challenges this year is to read new authors. I'm doing a good job with that so far!
Next Week
We will be driving back home next week. We plan to get back on Tuesday evening. It has been a lot of driving, but my husband and I enjoy traveling together and it's so much fun to see family and friends. But it will be good to get back to my cats.On the blog
I'm hoping to add a couple of reviews.
Cold Magic looks really promising, though.. I should probably stop with the first impression-sharing. ;D
ReplyDeleteWow, can't believe you weren't on Goodreads earlier! But I'm glad you are now. I love it, though all the wank is getting on my nerves lately.
In any case, I hope you enjoy your books and have a good time in.. are you still in Iowa? If so, Iowa. ;)
Patricia // My Week
I really should have gotten on Goodreads sooner...just the time I do it and there may be changes because of Amazon. I sure hope not.
DeleteWe were in Iowa this morning. We drove through Chicago, stopped and visited sister-in-law and now are in Indiana! Lots of driving, but a beautiful, sunny day.
Welcome to Goodreads! Judging by some of your Top Ten Tuesday posts, we have some reading tastes in common. Since I don't see a link to your Goodreads, allow me to extend an invitation: search for "The Bookwyrm's Hoard" and send me a friend invite.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, it's going to be warmer her in the DC area this week -- though we appear to be jumping from late winter to early summer in one fell swoop. Last week, the 40s and low 50s, this week, near 80. *shakes head* I think Mother Nature is confused. ;-)
Have a great trip back.
I will search for you on Goodreads!
DeleteIt will be nice to have some warmer weather, but it does sound a little confused.
You found me! :-)
DeleteNice books. Pandemonium and Grave Mercy are really good. Happy reading.

Oh, good! I'm looking forward to reading them. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteWhat's Storybound about? It looks like young adult or maybe a kids book??
ReplyDeleteYeah, it is more of a kids' fantasy book. It may be too juvenile, but it looked kind of fun. Too bad I don't know a child of 10 or so who I could read it to...lol.
ReplyDeleteAlso I got Storybound for free!
