Tuesday Book List of Growth Spurts

by JM

It just keeps growing!

Last week I received a lot of books in the mail, and, well, there are more additions to the list.

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!

If you would like to try your hand at reviewing, please feel free to contact me. 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.

On a last note, stop by my new site The Plot to check out books, read character interviews, and have fun at the Wednesday Pub nights.
