It is definitely from other bloggers’ reviews that I not only find new books to read but am also introduced to new authors. Before blogging, I had a list of many authors that I liked and would usually just read their books unless if I saw a book that caught my eye either in the library or at a book store. But this past year, my personal tbr list has become my bucket list. There are still some genres that other bloggers read and review with high ratings, which I respect, but I know or maybe I should say I think, I wouldn’t enjoy. I have also found, from bloggers, a lot of sites, to obtain books. There are many great advantages being a part of this community!
According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”

“Meet Me On Monday!”
Blogging is a funny thing…we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, “who is this person!?” I know them…but yet I don’t know them! I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to “meet” each other!
Enjoyed your answers to all the memes. I am reading a book out of my comfort zone this week, all because of you. It is the James Patterson book, Don't Blink. I'm not sure I'm going to like it. However, I am only to page 65, and I keep telling myself, Cheryl likes his books. hee, hee. I decided to try and read one or two thrillers this year, since my goal is to read more library books, therefore I don't have to buy the book. I would never buy this book.
I agree about the musings! I too get to know of new books from Book bloggers..
Here is my post!
I think it is hard not to get ideas from our book friends since promoting our favorite read is what we do!
Here's my MM
I thought this looked familiar…LOL
More books? Will you even have time?
I find a lot of books from bloggers that I would have never picked up. I get a couple of publications with "what's upcoming" sections that get my attention too.
I like checking out the book blogs. Wanna see my Musing on Monday .

I find many books I would have missed if I hadn't seen them on someone's blog. I think it is the way I find most the books I read these days.
it's other bloggers for me.
if you have similar tastes and they love a book, and it sounds so interesting, how can you say no…lol
Nice books girlfriend.
Chewy cookies??? No way I like them CRUNCHY, as in munch crunch and munch. I like to make sounds while I crunch 😉
I look forward to reviews of Marcia Clark's book. Have a good week!
Busy meme day for you! Love ya–and yes, chewy cookies are the best…..
You got some great books. 🙂 How do you like using NetGalley? Do you read the books on an eReader or on your computer? Here's my Mailbox! ~ Wendi
