A weekly event hosted by
J. Kaye’s Book Blog to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week.
I had a great week as far as reading goes but I'm still behind with reviews and blog posts *sigh*. My blog did have a makeover/tidy up courtesy of my BF Alaine - Queen of Happy Endings. Well I did help & learn, although I don't know whether Alaine would call it helping, more like whinging and demanding LOL. Thanks Alaine :-)
This week, I'm going to play review catch-up (I hope), and with a bit of luck, do some more reading and blog visiting. Maybe I should tell myself no reading until reviews are done...nah, who am I kidding, I couldn't do it!

Julie Garwood's books introduced me to the world of romance fiction. I picked The Secret off a shelf at the library and thought was a straight historical with maybe a little romance...little did I know! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
ReplyDeletecelia.a ~ I can honestly say I'm loving it.
ReplyDeleteIt's so exciting I've read so many awesome books in the last few weeks, I really don't want the "good book bus" to stop!!
I've heard a lot about Guernsey lately. I'm going to have ot check it out.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping you have an incredible journey on the "good book bus" -- I have a book pass for the book bus & the book train. I do like to ride the book limo but often get the stinky book taxi. Febreze it! LOL.
ReplyDeleteDiane, you crack me up ~ lets hope our book transport doesn't de-rail or crash and burn!
ReplyDeleteThat's my favorite pic of a woman reading that I've found too.
ReplyDeleteI didn't read that one of THE SECRET. I love her earlier books and loved THE WEDDING. I think I shall pull out THE BRIDE to read!! Going to do that now LOL.
Great week you had!
Oh, ah, it wasn't that bad LOL. Well done on getting 4 books finished!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading!
ReplyDeleteOf the books you've listed, I've only read Guernsey... and I really liked it! Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading... enjoy your week!
ReplyDeleteI just read Guernsey a few weeks ago! I hope you liked it, I know I definitely did. I've heard good things about If I Stay as well.
ReplyDeleteYou had a rock-on awesome reading week, plus you got a lot of other stuff done. I've already mentioned that I loved the teddy. Too cute!
ReplyDeleteI have the SECRET and DIME STORE MAGIC on my shelf as well.
ReplyDeleteI went from Stolen straight to book 6 as i didnt feel like reading about anyone other than Clay and Elena. But i'm thinking of getting to it soon.
I love that title, "Dime Store Magic." I don't know what it's about and I want to read it. Your blog is so cute.
ReplyDeleteSounds you liked Guernsy as much as I did!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear about the others. Enjoy your reading!
I so enjoyed Guernsey!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you are going to have some great reading!

I really like the title SILK DREAMS, I'm looking forward to read your review on that one.
ReplyDeleteI'm joining a Norwegian blogtour this summer and the book we're reading is the Norwegian translation of IF I STAY. I have seen so many blogtours online but none here in Norway. So in early June I contacted several Norwegian publish houses with the idea and at least two of them was really interested. The first publisher is already sending out books :D
THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY is coming my way one day. I'm participating in Amy 's Guernsey Traveling Society. Looking forward to read your review on this one as well!
There are only so many hours in a day chicklit! So Alaine is the designer extrodinaire? You're lucky to have a friend like that.
