This is a meme to list the books completed last week, the books currently being read, and the books to be finished this week.

Another slow week for me regarding reading, which is frustrating me. This is so unlike me but am telling self….”Self, only two more appointsments this week and then get back to priorities….READING” lol

Finished:

Live To Tell by Wendy Corsi Staub (

To Complete:

The Cutting by James Hayman ( WOOHOO.. he will be guest author here tomorrow !!!!!!!)

This is what I found in my mailbox this week:

I met this author through GoodReads. He contacted me because of the state I live in, which is where he went to college. We discovered we lived in the same neighborhood at that time. I then got the chance from Pump Up Your Book to read and review his book.

Received this book from Doublday for requested read and review.

Am looking forward to both!!!!!

Yesterday was another beautiful spring day here in New England. I noticed that there wasn’t much traffic around the blogosphere and thinking many might have been enjoying the weather. If you have time today, it would be appreciated if you could read yesterday’s Slapdash Sunday meme’s posting and maybe even leaving a comment. After reading a comment from Sheila from One Persons Journey Through A World of Books, I thought I would post a little note about it again. Thank you.

Today’s MUSING MONDAYS post is about tbr books. (for those that are new to book blogging, and I was one just a few short months ago and had no idea what tbr meant…I wanted to pay it forward…..it is short for To Be Read)
Where do you keep the books on the top of the tbr pile? Not the bunk of the mountain, but just the tip of the peak – the ‘almost up to’ books?
I have 3 piles. On one side of a double floor to ceiling book case, I keep my new books (6 months), along with those I have won with post it notes on covers with dates purchased/won in one pile. The other side is for my old (books I purchased over the years and haven’t read yet!!). Those are just shoved in and are in no particular order. I have a different pile in another room of “review books” with post-it notes as to the order they were received and need to be read. Since I started reviewing in December, I haven’t read any of my personal TBR books, only my Review TBR books.

in the fun. You don’t need a blog to comment, but if you do and want to join in, links provided for each and all memes.

Slapdash Sunday

Slapdash Sunday is a day for your proverbial week ‘leftovers.’ Is there something you wanted to say, but just forgot? Is there something you want to write about, but isn’t worth a whole page? Do you have a random thought, funny or otherwise that needs to be written down?

That is what Slapdash Sunday is for.
This week’s question:
So far I have found, via other blogs, Library Thing, Good Reads, Shelfari. My questions relate to these sites.
1. Do you belong to all three? Are there any other sites like these?
2. How often do you update by adding more books, adding reviews, etc?
3. Do you have a preference to just one? What made you decide which one to use to put on their widget on your blog?
4. Any other comments regarding this
Have a great Sunday! And try to RELAX & READ SUNDAY..its fun!!

It is a gorgeous day here in New England today. The sun is shining and its a beautiful WARM spring day. And to make it even more beautiful, I recieved an email this morning from Karen over at Bookin’ With Bingo. I was the lucky winner of the Eye Glass Giveaway. Perfect timing…I picked out sun readers so I can sit outside and read. Thank you Karen. And if you haven’t visited her site, head on over there, you won’t be disappointed.

From my TBR list is the following, which I added seeing it on some book blogs. And ironically Bookin’ With Bingo is having a giveaway, which I have entered and keeping my fingers crossed.
