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. Thanks Sheila.
I got two books read last week, Still Missing was absolutely brilliant, my review will be up this week. Alaine and I had another scrapping day and Bella and Cindy had a play date. And soccer update: Callum's Premier Youth soccer team finished 5th, they had to win their last 2 games but only won one. Boys were disappointed that there will be no semi-finals for them this year but they have another two years in this division as many teams consist of 18 year olds, so they've done extremely well. My dad came to watch Cal's last game as it was played on Father's Day.

STOLEN by Lucy Christopher ~ incredible, incredible!

You have quite a good list of books! I think I might need to be a new follower!! :) I can't wait to read Still Missing!!
ReplyDeleteLooks a great week for reading. I am envying everyone who has got Still Missing!
ReplyDeleteI read Still Missing last week too.
ReplyDeleteDon't think my review will be quite as enthusiastic as yours though.
Enjoy your week!
I'm more behind than you are if that helps! :) I really enjoyed Living Dead Girl - it was kind of like watching a train wreck - so engaging you couldn't tear away from it even though it made my stomach churn at points.
ReplyDeleteI really need get back to the Cat and Bones series. So much reading to do at the moment and not enough time! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your review of Damaged and I definitely think I would like this book too. I am also a big fan of suspense thrillers so your review sold me on this book. Thanks. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI love your scrapping pages. Simply gorgeous! I have read some reviews of Still Missing, and it indeed looks brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGreat books! I want to read most of them! Happy reading & have a great week!
ReplyDeleteGood week for you, and lovely scrapping as always :)
ReplyDeleteSome great books there, 'Neurology of Angels' sound interesting - have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Monday: http://mywordlyobsessions.wordpress.com
I've heard Living Dead Girl was very good, I look forward to your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteMegan @ Read It, See It
Have a great reading week ahead! Here is my Mondays: Mailbox/Where Am I/Musings post.

I enjoyed The Lies We Told; http://rannthisthat.blogspot.com/2010/06/review-lies-we-told-by-diane.html but am curious how other people view the ending. I was disappointed in Saving Max--I was looking more for a book about dealing with Autism that a medical thriller.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading Susan Lewis' The Choice.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a week of some great reads :)
Uh, Stolen is written by Lucy Christopher and not Christopher Lucy..
A nice list of books! I read "Stolen," but mine was by Jordan Gray and a cozy mystery!
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week! I'm a new follower, by the way! Love your blog!
I also reviewed Stolen this past week, and agree with a lot of your review! The complexity of Ty's character also kind of messed with my head - it was like I was almost rooting for him, but then I'd remember the whole situation and go, "No, of course not, Gemma has to get out of there!" Also, I *adored* that camel...felt so sorry for it!!

Great reading list as always Teddyree!
ReplyDeleteHow are you? I hope all is well.
I've got 3 books on the go right now. Just finished a big one and want to finish the others this week.
You take care. ;)
Loving those layouts girl!!! Living Dead Girl is brutal...make sure you have something light and fluffy to read after wards!
ReplyDeleteI liked your review of Stolen. I definitely want to read it.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to hearing what you think of Living Dead Girl. Have a great week!
I have heard such good things about Still Missing. I have to get this book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments! As for how to make a spoiler 'invisible' - just highlight the words you want hidden, and change the text color (click on the "A" with the drop-down menu at the top of the post) to the background color of your post (my blog background is white so I chose white). Then it should automatically show up when you highlight! I'm not an HTML expert, but if you wanted to know the HTML code specifically, you can switch to the "Edit HTML" tab - the code should have appeared around the desired text after you've changed the text color. Hope that helps! :)
ReplyDeleteStill missing has been on my list for some time now and with that review you make me want to pick it up now! I'll have to see if I can squeeze it in somewhere. :o)
ReplyDeleteAnd Living Dead Girl...I hope you love it! I've been wanting to read it as well.
Have a fabulous reading week and thank you so much for stopping by my site earlier!
My copy of Mockingjay seemed to take forever to arrive, too! I pounced on it when it finally got here on Friday.
ReplyDeleteLiving Dead Girl is very good but very disturbing - a haunting book.
Enjoy your books this week!

Danya ~ thanks so much for your help on the 'invisible' text, will try it out and see how it goes :-)
