A weekly event now hosted by Sheila from One Persons Journey Through a World Of Books to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week.
I keep making grand plans for my reading week and each week I seem to de-rail. Do you think that stops me from making more? LOL nah ... there are so many good books in my line-up and just not enough hours in the day. My big goal this week is to be well enough after the latest complications from my op to make it to scrapbook camp with Alaine. And scrapbook camp is huge inspiration; a whole weekend of scrapping, time laughing with Alaine, surrounded by supportive female friends and no cooking necessary. Sound perfect? ... it is! And it's just what Alaine and I need!

ReplyDeleteHope you have a good time, sounds Fun!
It sounds like you and Alaine will have a wonderful time! Even though I'm not a scrapper it sounds like so much fun + it's important to spend some quality time with your best friends!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week!
I've just bought Beautiful Creatures and I can't wait to get started on it! Your reading for this week looks really good too!
ReplyDeleteYou can see my week of reading at: http://www.chrissiescorner.co.uk/?p=595
I hope you get to enjoy the scrapbooking camp as well. And even with complications, you had a decent week. :-)
ReplyDeleteI read The Crying Tree last year and really was impressed by it. I'm glad to see it on someone's list.
ReplyDeleteYou have some really good books to read this week! I am interested in Burn by Dekker. I've read some of his other books and this one sounds intriguing. I am looking forward to reading The Iron King. I also can't wait to read Beautiful Creatures. I will have to come back and read your review after I read the book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting on my blog post. Have a great reading week!
I desperately want to read The Iron King. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday post:

I hope you are well enought for scrap camp this week. Look forward to seeing your designs.
ReplyDeleteYour line-up this week looks wonderful! I have been wanting to read Burn. Enjoy your week and happy reading.

Best

Sounds like you guys are going to have a great time! Enjoy your camp and enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteScrapbook week sounds like fun! Takes me back to my childhood and all the adventures I had then.
ReplyDeleteI think my blogging (with the headers, widgets, etc.) is my version of scrapbooking these days.
I got Beautiful Creatures last week and I'm dying to start it, but I've got too many review copies to get through first. My fingers are just itching to grab it every time I walk past that pile of TBR.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your review of The Iron King. Read some great reviews for it already.
Have a great week!
Cold Justice sounds very interesting. I hope you're able to make it to the scrapbooking camp! That sounds fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI ordered Beautiful Creatures from the library...thanks to all the bloggers out there :) The curiosity is killin' me! Also, I saw someone else here on this meme with the Crying Tree and I put it on my tbr. It sounds like something I'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHave fun with Alaine at "camp." lol
I hope you have a blast at scrapbooking camp! Enjoy whichever book you end up choosing this week :)
ReplyDeleteI keep considering Beautiful Creatures but not sure if its me even though every review is great.
ReplyDeleteOk I've really got to get started on Beautiful Creatures!
ReplyDeleteOh! I really need to go back and read your review of Beautiful Creatures. It's sitting on my desk right now waiting to be read.
ReplyDeleteAnd...I really want to hear what you think of The Iron King. I've been seeing it around and it looks really good.
Have a great reading week and thanks for stopping by the site!
I think I am the only one that didn't love Beautiful Creatures
ReplyDeleteI am hoping you feel better and and are able to go scrapping!! :P)
ReplyDeleteWell none of my reading plans work out, so u r not alone!
The cover to Burn looks interesting. Great list of books! I loved Destined for an Early Grave!
ReplyDeleteHere's mine if you want to check it out: Not-Really-Southern Vamp Chick
Hope you have a great reading week! Here's mine for this week: http://ruthiesbookreviews.blogspot.com/2010/02/its-monday-what-are-you-reading_15.html
ReplyDeleteI haven't been reading anything lately!
ReplyDeleteMondays: Musings/Mailbox/Whereabouts
I tried so hard to find Beautiful Creatures this weekend! Couldn't find it in any of the in-airport bookstores or even at the Borders in the mall in Seattle. BUT...I found Shiver, Fallen, and Soulless instead and OMG did I LOVE two out of the three. (still not sure what to think of Fallen)
ReplyDeleteI'm headed over to your review of B.C. now. Have a wonderful week!
I thought I commented already. Apparently, I did not. No wonder why my google reader still had your post "unread" even though I really did read it. :/
ReplyDeleteAnyway, you have a fantastic list of books. The thriller/suspense type ones are not really what I read but have been feeling the urge lately to do so.
Destined for an Early Grave...oh...I sooo cannot wait to hear what you think of this story. I really am wanting another Cat and Bones story. I hope Jeaniene Frost hurries up and writes another book to this series.
The Iron King is intriguing me. I look forward to your thoughts on this one as well.
Hope you have a great weekend at the scrapbook camp. It is great that you and Alaine get to do this!! Have loads of fun.
Finally got time this week to stop by to say Hi. Good for you to be pretty up to date on reviews. Glad you liked Beautiful Creatures.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better and have a great scapbook weekend!
