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.
First to the big news, Alaine's daughter gave birth to a darlin boy in the wee hours of Saturday morning. Congrats and love to Kylie & her husband but also to Grandma Alaine and Aunty Annie... you're family is truly blessed xx
I only read 2 books this week but they were both great. Beautiful Creatures was seriously awesome, and I hope to share the review with you this week. So that means I read 7 books in January, not bad considering I missed the first 2 weeks of January while recovering from surgery.

Hopefully the new Mummy and baby will be home sometime today. In the meantime I think I'm going to have a sleep. I'm so tired I can't remember what I'm doing.
ReplyDeleteOh, that's right, I was going to say that I can't wait to read Beautiful Creatures or even just have you tell me all about it!

ReplyDeleteI only need book three of the Morganville Vampires series before I start reading those. I found all the rest at my local used bookstore, but not book three. But, I can hardly wait to get to that series. It's been sitting on my shelf taunting me. LOL.
