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!!!!!

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.

Have a great Saturday!!! Happy Reading!!!!

Rules:
* Grab the book nearest you. Right now.

*Post a link along with your post back to this blog.
* Don’t dig for your favorite book, the coolest, the most intellectual. Use the CLOSEST.
As Shockley contnued, McCabe could feel his toes curling inside his shoes. He supected he might be blushing and hoped he wasn’t scowling.
