This meme is hosted by Shelia over at Book Journeys. This is only my second or third time participating in this. Last week was a slow reading week again. We had a get together in our yard last weekend that took a lot of time to clean and get ready for and then again to clean up from. Also, October tends to be a busy month for us, maybe for everyone. This week I went to a pumpkin patch on three different days, did a corn maze, visited an amusement park and a candy carnival, as well as worked and took the two smallest ones to BounceU. I think all the spare time was filled and by evening I just didn't have the energy to read and run.
Still awaiting review from a few weeks ago:
Hank Zipper Day of the Iguana by Henry Winkler
20 Diet Myths Busted by Zoe Harcombe
Finished this week:
The Wonder of Your Love by Beth Wiseman (review ready for Tuesday)
Still reading:
The Baker's Wife by Erin Healy
as well as a bunch of started reads on my Kindle.
I've been feeling guilty about my books for review so I decided I need to finish the ones that are due at specific times before I have fun with other books. I usually end up really enjoying the books I get for review, and that has been the case this week, but they also tend to make me push aside the books I've actually bought for myself so I need to figure out a better balance.

Looks like you had a busy week! Most the titles are new to me so I can't wait to check out your reviews....though the Hank Zipper books I've heard are suppose to be pretty good. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI have been very curious about The Baker's Wife. It looks like it might be a book I might enjoy. I have to find a new way to organize and read my review books too. My reading lists are a mess!
ReplyDeleteThe Baker's Wife looks good to me, will check it out.
ReplyDeleteI spent last week rebooting my blog on Wordpress. I hope you will stop by and let me know what you think.

HAPPY READING!!
You are not alone in trying to find a better balance between review books and fun books to read. I did a horrible job managing fun books this month.
ReplyDeleteHow fun!!! I love festivals and seasonal events. Got to do that when you can - the books will wait :)
