MONDAY
This will be the first time in 6 months that I will not be participating in Mailbox Monday. Last week my postal carrier and mailbox had a respite and no books were delivered. I have ambivalent feelings with regard to this..on one hand, I anxiously await for my postal carrier to deposit any goodies in the way of books, but then on the other hand, this little break will hopefully give me a chance to do a little catch up. But I will be hopping to see what everyone found in their mail boxes.

Today’s Topic:
This week’s musing asks…
What books are you wishing for MOST right now?
My Response:
I know this is going to sound silly, but, all the books that are in my tbr piles, what is on my personal tbr shelves and my yet to purchase tbr list. As far as my requested review pile, whenever I grab the book that will become my current read, and see what the next book will be, I can’t wait to read it. When I look at my personal tbr shelves and see so many that are waiting to be read, I can’t wait. Like a mother who loves her kids equally, that is how I feel about all the books that are presently in my house.

EBook Download
This EBook was downloaded to my Sony Ereader this week. At the request of the author as a favor, he asked that I read this pending digital mini, and give my honest opinion as a reader and consumer, before he self submits it to an indie online publishing site.
All I was told is that it is a suspense, unlike the book he is currently on virtual tour with Pump Up Your Book, which is in the romance genre. You may recognize the name, you might have even read the book, which is:
For those that may be interested in this digital short, I will give you all or any information as I get it from the author.

Miz B is shaking up Musing Mondays this week!! Here are rules that we have to and/or want to play:
Okay… so what’s going to happen is this: I’m going to ask a question today — as I always do for Musing Mondays — and the first commenter is going to answer my question on their blog (or in my comments section). BUT…
That first commenter also needs to ask a question (a different question) for commenter #2 to answer. So, commenter #2 (to Should Be Reading) has to go to commenter #1′s MM post and answer their question… plus pose a question of their own for commenter #3 to answer! And, so on.
Each participant to MM today needs to ask their own question for the next person to answer, in addition to answering the previous person’s question.
Today’s Topic:
What element, if a book has it, will make you almost always read that book (and name a book –or books– that contain it)! ((for example: romantic reunions))
My Answer:
A good suspense, and the authors that I like and will read any and all of their books. The type of book that I love is the kind that grab you from the start, have short chapters (what I call just one more chapter and find myself 10 chapters later), like when the main characters are assigned one chapter, next chapter containing another character and so forth and keeps changing. This is another great element because, again, I have to keep reading to find out where I was left hanging. I am reading a book for review and it has all of this and having a hard time putting it down. Its Buying Time by
Pamela Samuels-Young.
My Question:
Do you like short or long detailed reviews?
My Answer:
I prefer reading short detailed reviews. I just want to get the bottom line as if I should put it on my list. Did the reviewer like it, why or why not. Were the characters brought to life. Did it hold your interest, etc etc. Since finding this world of reviewing/blogging, my tbr bucket list is huge. And since there are so many books and reviews, I just want to know if I might be interestsed in it and add to my ever growing list.
Caite’s Question:
Do you belong to an online book site, like Library Thing, Shelfari and Goodreads and if so why? For you own record keeping and organization or primarily for the social aspects, posting, book reviews and such?
My Answer:
I belong to all three GR, LT, and Shelfari for many reasons. For posting reviews, see what others think about the same books I have read, entering early reviewers contests and try lol to becoming more organized with my piles of books, not there yet but am adding little by little.
