What are you reading?
Looks like you got a ton of good reading done. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteReducing your TBR pile. I used to aim to do that. Those days are long gone. I wish you lots of luck with that. Now I just aim to review two books a week. If I do that, I'm happy.
ReplyDeleteLucky girl, you won a bunch of great books. Enjoy reading them!
ReplyDeleteI want to read the series of Percy Jackson and the Olymphians. Please elt us know how the first one turns out!
ReplyDeleteThe books you read last week all look pretty good. I hope you have another good reading week :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the contest wins! It makes me think that maybe I should start taking part in a few too.
I'm not making plans either. I already just squished a book in inbetween what I'm already reading. I never keep to them, then start feeling stressed that I haven't!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on all the contest wins too!
Wow, you had a great reading week! And congrats on all of the contests you won! Hope you have another great week :)
ReplyDeleteI'm currently reading several books at the moment, and this is one of them...
ReplyDelete@ Jess - it was a great week thanks :o) Hope you have a good one too!
ReplyDelete@ Becky - I doubt I'll have much luck reducing the TBR pile LOL but I'm going to give it a try :o)
@ Nina - Thanks! Can't believe how lucky I've been over the last couple of weeks :o) I'm thinking it's a good time to start the lottery again LOL
@ PensivePixie - I really liked the first Percy Jackson book & am looking forward to reading more from this series. I've posted a review if you want to read more :o)
@ Chrissie - Hope you have a great week too! I've been entering loads of contests since I started blogging & it's definitely working so I'd recommend it LOL. Good luck if you do decide to enter some :o)
@ Rhiana - I know what you mean LOL. If I select the next 5 books I want to read now the list would be completely different if I wrote it again tomorrow! I get annoyed with myself if I set goals & don't achieve them but prefer to choose the next book when I'm ready to start reading it :o)
@ Serpentine Librarian - Thanks, hope you have a great week too :o)
@ China - Thanks for visiting my blog :o) I'll go & have a look at your post now!
Love so many of the books on your list from last week. Congrats on your contest wins and good luck reducing your tbr pile :-)
ReplyDelete@ Teddyree - Thanks :o) I doubt I'll get far at reducing the pile - there are so many fab books that I want to buy LOL but I'm going to give it a try!
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked The Lightning Thief! Just waiting for that one to come through the hold list at the library!
