Road Trip Reading #3

This weekend is a four day weekend for schools in our state so we are going to visit my oldest son in college! I will have to be driving, though, so I won't get a lot of reading done in the car.  Hopefully I will have time to read while I am away.  I am in the middle of reading Scary Out There and am loving it!  I am also reading Shuffle Repeat because it just came in with our latest order at school.  Fingers crossed that I come back having finished both!

Weekend Reading #11

I will admit that a couple of things have really slowed down my reading this summer.  

First of all, Stranger Things on Netflix completely captivated me.  I binged on that really hard this week.

Secondly, I am playing Pokemon Go.  I adore this game, but my very favorite thing is that my son will ask me to drive him and his friends around to play.  When your 18 year old, about to go to college son wants you to go out and play a game with him, you go out and play that game!

Anyway, I am going to focus on some reading this weekend.  These are the two books I am currently reading.  I am participating in a blog tour for The Secret Sea in August.  I like the alternate reality aspect of this book.  I also received The Gallery in the mail and this cover is so gorgeous I bumped it to the top of my TBR.  I love the feel of this book in my hands.
(I am also going to Star Trek this weekend, can't wait!!)

Road Trip Reading #2 & Weekend Reading #10

This weekend we are driving three hours away to watch our son play in a senior showcase soccer game.  It will be a down and back in one day trip and my husband is driving, which means I am going to be reading!

Last week I was so excited to get this pack of Lisa Graff books in the mail.  She is a staple here in my library, perfect for middle school readers.  I read Umbrella Summer years ago and enjoyed it greatly.  I haven't read any of hers so this weekend, while I am at my sons' soccer tournament (a three hour drive away).  So I am taking A Tangle of Knots and A Clatter of Jars with me on the trip.  And, I already had Lost in the Sun checked out from my library to read over the summer, so I was very excited to get my own copy.  I will be reading that this summer as well!

Penguin has graciously offered to let me giveaway a set of Lisa's paperbacks:  A Tangle of Knots; Lost in the Sun; and Absolutely Almost.  Fill out the form below if you'd like to win your own copies of these awesome books!

Weekend Reading #8

I am finishing up SWEET HOME ALASKA.  Next week I will be part of the blog tour for that book.  So excited for that post (on February 4!)

THE YEAR WE FELL APART has gotten good reviews and I love a good contemporary romance.  This is the physical book I am reading right now.

I started THE CRESSWELL PLOT the other day and am not quite sure how I feel about it yet.  Castella seems really immature, but then again, she has been raised in the woods by a crazy father.

I am enjoying all three of these books and am looking forward to getting some reading time this weekend.  I might have to enforce some SSR on myself!

Weekend Reading #5

 

I have done better this week, finishing A New Hope: the Princess, the Scoundrel and the Farm Boy and Slasher Girls and Monster Boys.  This weekend my plan is to finish Monstrous by MarcyKate Connolly.  

Hope you have a great weekend of reading!

Weekend Reading #4

I have lofty goals for this weekend!  

I am currently reading four books that I am enjoying and need to finish (I actually have 7 books on my currently reading list on goodreads.  SEVEN!).  

We got our first order of the year this week--6 boxes of brand new shiny books.  I have taken home more than I need to and I still have a few ARCs I have to get read and reviewed.  So, I must finish somethings this weekend so I can move on to more things!

I am closest to being done with Jackaby and actually hope I will get it finished today (I have been taking my lunch time in the back room so I can read while I eat).

George is a new book I started that is small and quick, that shouldn't take too much time.

I am just at the Scoundrel section of The Princess, the Scoundrel and the Farm Boy.  I know that this book flies so hopefully I can get that done tomorrow morning before out Saturday soccer games start!

And lastly, I was sent a copy of Doldrums and it's so pretty that I want to get it reviewed soon.  Maybe get that one done Sunday night.

What are you up to this weekend?

Weekend Reading #3

Looking forward to quiet weekend (the last one before school starts next Thursday) and to getting some reading done!  Both of these books are really good!

Weekend Reading #2

I started reading this the other night and was quickly caught up in the story.

Reading time is low this weekend because it is super hot here so we are rafting!

Happy weekend reading everyone!

Weekend Reading #1

I actually got four books finished this past week which really helped me to get over my slump.  I am hoping to keep the ball rolling!  I started Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell and since I am participating in a blog tour for School for Sidekicks I am starting that this weekend as well.

Added to the List #11: Weekend Reading

This was a great weekend for reading.  I started out Friday by reading Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins.  After that I had to go to my library to grab Anna and the French Kiss because that was the one book by Stephanie Perkins I had not read.  (By the way, how jealous are you that I can run to my school library to get books whenever I want?)

I won a contest and got a Kindle copy of Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson.  I had wanted to read this one for sometime so I was excited to win this contest!  (It was a twitter contest I stumbled across being sponsored by Jen at Pop Goes the Reader, adorable blog! Check it out.)(I don't have a kindle, but this past fall I got a Samsung Nook Tablet and downloaded the Kindle app so now I can use both stores for books!)

This past week I was lucky enough to get auto approved for Scholastic egalleys on Edelweiss.  Do you know how excited I was when this happened?!  I downloaded a few I have had my eye on:

Thirteen Chairs by Dave Shelton
Lying Out Loud by Kody Keplinger (companion to the DUFF!!)
I Am Princess X by Cherie Priest
Mark of the Thief by Jennifer A. Neilsen
