It's Monday! What Are You Reading?



A weekly event 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.

My February reading total is a wee bit sad but on the plus side I got caught up on a few more reviews! In the February 12x12 Challenge I was shooting for 10 books but only managed to finish 7. Last week was my best week for the month, finishing 3 books. I don't know what's wrong with me, I've got so many awesome books to read and I do feel like reading but I'm finding it had to stay balanced between reading, reviewing, commenting on blogs and life in general LOL. Organisation and time management do not seem to be my strong points :-)

Watch out for my March competition, it should be up in the next day or two and also the winners from my Feb competitions ... Stay tuned!

THE CRYING TREE by Naseem Rakha - 5 stars

  7. Hey Sheree...I think 7 books is great! I have been averaging 4 books only...ugh...so much lower than my 2009 monthly averages. I would love to pick the pace back up, but seem to be having troubles with that.

    I look forward to reading your The Iron King review. I am interested in that book.
    I am going to be taking a blog break starting tuesday or wednesday...no reading blogs, a posting my Polishing Mud Balls blog so reading your review will have to wait until April. I must remember to read it.

    I hope you have a great week!!!

  11. I'll be interested to see what you think on the Iron King!
    Ever since I started my blog I've been reading a lot less than usual, but I used to read a crazy amount.

  12. I know how you feel--my February total is REALLY low. Like only 3 books low. Yikes!
    I hope March is better to you and to me!

  13. I am in the same boat as you are when it comes to reading and reviewing and commenting. It is all very time consuming, and while I do love it it certainly cuts into the reading aspect.

    I finished Iron King this week too. Have a great week.
