A weekly event hosted by Sheila from Book Journey to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. I love this meme, it helps me stay on track ... well, most of the time. Thanks Sheila!
Busy week last week but I'm feeling quite virtuous since I also managed to post a number of reviews, finish 2 books and do some blog commenting lol.
It's my youngest son's 19th Birthday on Wed and my eldest son and his fiancee are back from Mackay so they'll be here for a celebratory birthday dinner ... can't wait.

I hope this week will be good :) and happy bday to your son
ReplyDeleteWOW you've been pretty busy! I am both looking forward to and not looking forward to 'With All My Soul' - I don't want this series to be over... As usual, there are some books on your list I'm going to add to my TBR, both Three Sisters and Barefoot Season seem pretty good.
ReplyDeleteHere's my It's Monday... post.
Happy reading.
oh, and Happy Birthday to your son - I'm glad you'll get to spend some time with him.

ReplyDeleteWow - glad I saw this post, as I haven't read my e-mails all week long..... I'm looking forward to reading Flesh.
ReplyDelete(yeay!)
Aren't birthdays for young sons bittersweet? My "baby" is now 23. It's weird when your youngest is in his twenties...and my oldest is 33. Sigh. feeling decrepit. ;)
Have a great week

I just ordered my copy of The 5th Wave and can't wait to add it to my stack. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful celebration ahead...enjoy! And your books look good...haven't read any of them. Going to check them out. Thanks for visiting my blog, and have a great week.

A successful week all in all then. I hope you, and your family, enjoy the birthday celebrations this week. :-)

ReplyDeleteWhat I've Been Reading!
Busy week! Happy birthday to your son, and I'm glad you're enjoying Scarlet. (And I see that, like me, you read more than one book at a time. I never used to do that, but now I enjoy it.)
ReplyDeleteSo much goodness in your life right now!! Did I tell you that Mitch will be stateside mid-May?? I'm beyond excited!! Scarlet rocked...I can't wait for the next one! I have to go catch up on some of your reviews!!!
ReplyDeleteI just started listening to Scarlet yesterday *squee :)
