Monday's Minutes

Weekend Update, Pre-orders, and an Author Giveaway

Did everyone enjoy their weekend? Happy Monday! It's that day again, the one that everyone hates... Actually I don't hate Mondays.. as long as there is coffee... or tea.. and lots of it! 

So, this weekend I didn't even pick up my Kindle. Or a physical book. Nothing. Nadda.  I'm as surprised as you are! We were away for the Under 14s hockey games with my nephew and I brought my Kindle and a book with me, but put them aside. We spent a lot of time in the rink and just hanging together and having fun, and that's what it's all about! 

So, this week I've got a few books to review, I need to organize my book shelves; I was given some more books from a cousin (thanks Pam!) and I found a bag of books that I'd purchased and forgot I had them.. you know, put them in a safe place and then forget said safe place haha   I also have some hockey games to go to, and a girl's night out.  

I pre-ordered a couple of books for my Kindle, the upcoming release The Caller by M.A. Comley and Tara Lyons 

(you can preorder HERE) due out on June 16th 

and 

The Sister by Louise Jensen 

(you can preorder HERE) due out July 7th.  

Mel Comley also has a great giveaway going on over on her Facebook Page  so head on over there and check that out! 

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend! What did you do this weekend, did you read any good books? Do you have any recommendations for books for me? Leave me a message in the comments or be sure to shoot me an email using the 

'contact me' link to let me know! 

Enjoy your day and happy reading! 

Monday's Minutes

Happy Monday! 

Hopefully everyone enjoyed their weekend! I read some really great books this week, and started a few more. These days it's rare for me to have at least 2 books on the go.  I'll be writing reviews of these books and have them posted soon! I also got approved for 3 more books on NetGalley... it's so addictive!

I'm also a crafter.. I don't talk about that much, but I got one of my yarn orders in the mail and I'm so excited to get to working on a few projects that I've been looking at! It's hard when you have more than one addiction, but hey.. books and knitting... can't go wrong there :) One of these days I'll start another blog for that addiction... but reading is still my number one hobby! 

So, this week I'm hoping to get a few more books read for my reading goal of 100 books this year.. I'm a few books ahead of schedule thankfully! I also plan on working on the blog a bit more, and getting my reading challenges updated to see where I stand on some of them. I am currently doing 3 challenges... there was 4 but, I kind of let one of them fall to the wayside. 

Hope you all have a great week! Don't forget to follow my blog so you don't miss any of the good stuff! 

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!
