It's Been A While....

Hey everyone... It's been a bit since I've been around. Real life can sometimes get in the way and throw some wrenches at you. And that's pretty much what happened.  Throw in some reading block (as opposed to writer's block), working, and other fun stuff and it equals me being away for too long. 

But, I'm back around and reading as much as I can while working on some projects that I just have to get done. I have some reviews to post soon, lots to catch up on, and a couple of current ones.  I'm about 15 books behind schedule on my reading challenge, but I'm hoping to catch up on that on my week's vacation. Let's see how many I can actually get done and if I'll be caught back up by July 24th. (That's 2 weeks away... fingers crossed!) 

So, today's challenge is getting a couple of reviews done for books I've recently read, update my pinterest, goodreads, etc and make my list of what needs to be read next for reviews. I discovered this morning I'd pre-ordered a few books and they magically have appeared on my Kindle :)  Fun stuff! 

Happy Reading!

Monday's Minutes

Happy Monday!  Yes, Monday's can be happy days, it's all in how you make them. I'm going to start off the week with new theme days and today's theme, as you can see is called

"Monday's Minutes" where I will talk about the upcoming week. 

This week will be pretty busy with reviews, I have a few books that I've read with publication days for tomorrow, so you will see some great books this week.   My nephew has a lot of hockey this week so I'll be spending a bit of time (read that as, quite a bit of time!) travelling to and from the rink and sitting waiting for games to start but I'll be armed with my trusty Kindle to fit some reading in ;)  I've been contacted by a few authors directly to read and review their books and I'm pretty excited about it! I've got a few other things in the works, along with continuing to tweak the blog, I'm still not sold on the format yet.  

I'm hoping to get at least 5 books read this week. Let's see if I can keep to that goal, and still have some time for other things!  

Make Monday your Fun Day! 

Reading Rampage!

So I got a new Kindle for Christmas! (Wooohooo!!) And to say that I have been reading a bit since I have received it would be a complete understatement! Mom and Dad couldn't have given me a better gift :) Check out the funky purple giraffe case!

So I have ended up reading 5 books in 4 days and have 2 more on the go. I've got a few books that I was approved to read for Netgalley as well that I am excited over!

I really love this Kindle, it's the Kindle Paperwhite and it's so easy to download books. Why did I wait so long before getting one? My Kobo Glo was great too but I find myself more attached to this Kindle. No this isn't any paid advertisement or anything, I am just gushing (too much!) over this Kindle! haha

So my plans for 2016? Attack my reading challenges with a renewed passion, advance my blog to the next level, and create a separate blog for some of my crafting.  I am also addicted to yarn crafts and get torn between the 2 hobbies.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Years, and hope you will be visiting my little reading nook many times over the next year!
