What I'm Reading

Booking Through Thursday + Tuesday Reading List

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

btt2.jpgEquals my Booking Through Thursday reading list.

This week’s Booking Through Thursday question…

It’s a holiday weekend here in the U.S., so let’s keep today’s question simple–What are you reading? Anything special? Any particularly juicy summer reading?

It’s funny how things work out because I was meaning to put an updated “What I’m Reading� list up this week and, well, here you go! I love it when things work out like that.

Remember to play the Monday game for your chance to win an Aussie postcard from me.

If you would like to try your hand at reviewing, please feel free to contact me using the contact me button under the site description on the right. I’m more than happy to put up guest reviews. I’m also thinking of a best book review contest, but it’s just an idea floating around in my brain at this point.

Tuesday Book List of Positive Thinking

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

bookstacksmall.jpgI’m trying to focus on being positive. I find it too easy to slip into a negative mindset, and that’s definitely not a good thing. I want to be more positive. Happy. Optimistic.

Think it’ll work?

You may have noticed that a couple books have moved back from the ‘reading’ list to the ‘going to read’ list. That’s because of a combination of things including having reviews that have to be put up by certain dates and not being able to focus on the book. I will be getting back to them, though.

Tuesday Book List of June

Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

bookstacksmall.jpgI am coming in to June with a lot going, it seems. Too much, it feels like, but I will keep on keeping on. I apologize for missing last Friday’s review, but I am definitely going to work my rear end off so I won’t miss any more.

Remember:

“Have you ever had a time when you start a bunch of books because you’re just not sure what you want to read? That’s the way I’ve been feeling lately. So please bear with me if my “I’m reading nowâ€? list is getting a bit long.”

I’m feeling that way still, but I have some promised reviews to put up, so I need to get some reading done!

Tuesday Book List… On Wednesday!

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

bookstacksmall.jpgIt feels like it’s been a while again since I’ve done this. I think that’s okay, though. My reading list isn’t that exciting, is it?

I just sat down to update my reading list and two more books were dropped off at my doorstep. How funny is that? Well, I think it’s amusing anyway. I have a few more adds to put on the list…

Have you ever had a time when you start a bunch of books because you’re just not sure what you want to read? That’s the way I’ve been feeling lately. So please bear with me if my “I’m reading now� list is getting a bit long.

Tuesday Book List of Being Late

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

bookstacksmall.jpgHello everyone!

Another crazy week full of anniversary fun, volunteering, road trips, and a lot of coffee. Maybe it only makes sense that I’m not having an easy time sleeping. My brain just can’t seem to shut off.

I have a lot more books on the way, so my to be read list will expand once more. (Like it really needed to, right?) Hopefully some of the newer additions will be things you are reading and we can have a bit of a discussion about them.

Tuesday Book List of End of April

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

bookstacksmall.jpgHello everyone!

Talk about a crazy week. I was quite ill last week (thus the late book review last week - sorry) but I am definitely on the mend this week. My reading habits and schedule has changed a bit. I decided not to review the South Beach Book. While I like the book, I’m not sure everyone else will like a review of a diet book…

But I did put in the Second Chance review. Check it out - I like the book a lot.

Tuesday Book List of Being Disorganized

Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

bookstacksmall.jpgI had no idea it had been so long since I put one of these up!

Okay, so maybe it hasn’t been quite as long as I am making it out to be, but it has been a while since I have put up one of these lists. While my reading list hasn’t changed majorly, it has a little bit. Things have been a bit crazy in my life lately making reading and putting up regular posts a bit difficult. I’m hoping that all will settle down and things will get back to normal.

Tuesday Book List of April Fools

Tuesday, April 1st, 2008

bookstacksmall.jpgDon’t worry – there are no April Fool’s Day jokes happening on this blog. I’m not a big fan of the day – well, of the jokes on the day anyway.

Lately I have found myself feeling a bit restless in the books area and have started a few different books. This is bad news when it comes to reviews because I don’t know what I’ll finish when. I have a couple I’m almost done with, though, and another lovely review from Nick Oliva, so no worries when it comes to Friday reviews; they’ll be there.

Tuesday Book List of End of March

Tuesday, March 25th, 2008

question.jpgWell, it’s not technically the end of March yet, but it is the last Tuesday List for the month of March.

I’ve added on Supernatural by Graham Hancock to the top of my list because my husband tossed it at me and said, “You have to read this.�

I told him that was probably the strangest way anyone has recommended the book to me, but I’d be happy to read it.

bookstacksmall.jpgHello everyone. Welcome to another edition of my reading list, which is cruising merrily along, if I do say so.

Tuesday Book List of Autumn

Tuesday, March 11th, 2008

book-stack.jpgThat’s right, folks, autumn. We’re eleven days into autumn today and Melbourne is putting all her effort into showing locals some beautiful autumn weather.

Have I mentioned how much I love autumn? That it’s my favourite season?

Tuesday Book List of Catching Up…Again

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

searchablewhereabouts.jpgI am once again catching up on things, as much as it may curse my progress to say that… Still, I am feeling a lot less pressure lately than I was, that’s for sure. A big thanks to Nick Oliva for helping me to get that moment to take a breath.

Tuesday Book List of Continuation

Tuesday, February 26th, 2008

adventures-of-cow.jpgMy book stack has, thankfully, decided to stay at its current number so I can catch up with things.

I feel like I don’t often have positive things to say here lately. I’m hoping to get to the doctor (or figure out everything myself) by next week, so hopefully my mood will improve by then. I apologize if I have been a source of negativity in these posts.

On a lighter note, a very wonderful person has volunteered to be a guest reviewer this week, so there is a special guest review coming up this Friday.

Tuesday Book List of Grumpy

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

bookstacksmall.jpgI have found my reading going slowly but surely. Some unknown force in my body has decided that the amount of time I should sleep a night (about seven to nine hours) is the number of hours I will be awake on any given day.

Actually, I am awake more than that because I resist the fatigue, but I did give in this weekend just to see how much I would sleep and in the twenty-four hour period that was Saturday I slept more than two thirds of the day.

Lovely.

Tuesday Book List of Fatigue

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

book-stack.jpgThings have been so busy, as per usual, and I am slowly getting behind. I declared a mental health weekend, however, and my energy has been restored somewhat. I hope to have a lot more time for reading in the near future so I can once again get ahead with reviews. (And finally get Only Moments read so I can review it.)

You may wonder why I list what I’m reading every Tuesday. What’s the point? The list keeps growing and doesn’t change all that dramatically from week to week.

First, I like to let you know what reviews are coming up. After that, if you want to read something along with me, that’s great. You can even hold a discussion here about the book if you want to. Also, this list keeps me in check. It reminds me I have reviews to go up every Friday and books to read. (Yes, I do get that forgetful.) So there you go!
