Tuesday Book List of Heavy Work Loads

by JM

book-stack.jpgToday I am still facing a cold and have a big work load to boot. I have a massive project to finish under a deadline, so lets hope that I don’t end up having to work too many late nights to finish it…

Otherwise, things are going well. Not much has changed from last week. I’m reading my third book for the July Book Blowout. I know I have to get a move on if I want to make it to eight by the end of this month! I’m beginning to have doubts about whether or not I’ll make it…

I’ll be updating on my progress for that on Saturdays. (Or on Tuesdays if the mood strikes, but I don’t have time to do an update today.) If you are participating in the challenge, let me know.

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.
