I love this meme, it inspires me to be a bit more organized than usual!
Hello my darlings! Did you have a fantastic week? I hope so! Mine started out slow but I ended up fitting in a lot of reading. I didn't have much happening on the blog this week but that's ok right? Right!

It's a toss up! I have a few books that are waiting to be picked up from the library. (Including Me Before You by Jojo Moyes) I need to read Dangerous Liaisons before April 1st for the Classics Club Spin. I should probably read one of my 2013 TBR Challenge books sometime in March as well.
I'd also like to read something on my brand spanking new Kindle. I'm still playing with it and figuring it all out.

DeleteSounds like another great week for you. Still steaming ahead on your Goodreads count, go you! I'd love to know what book you'll first on your Kindle... Are you happy with it so far?
ReplyDeleteIt was! I have a few Netgalley books on the Kindle that I downloaded before I actually owned a Kindle, lol. Maybe I'll read one of those?
DeleteBetween Man and Beast looks like an interesting read. Had to go and look it up to get more details. Look forward to seeing what you think of it. Good for you being ahead in your goodreads goal. I can't seem to catch up. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteIt really is. I love a good non-fiction book and that was certainly a good one :) Thanks Karen!
DeleteA great week for you! Funny thing...I also have 41 books read on my Goodreads Challenge!
ReplyDeleteI've requested Me Before You from my library. Hope to get it soon. Thanks for sharing..and for visiting my blog. Have a great week, and now I'm going to check out some reviews of yours.
It was a good week :) I hope we both enjoy Me Before You!
DeleteInteresting books on your blog this week! And way to go on your books read, that is amazing!! I also have to pick up the pace for 2013 TBR Challenge but the last few weeks have kicked my butt reading wise with some not so lovely reads. Le sigh.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Bookish Memes post.
Have a great week!
Thanks Marie :) Sorry to hear that you read some not so great books recently, that's always a bummer!
DeleteI enjoyed Me Before You. I have another book by the same author screaming from my To Be Read stack, The Last Letter From Your Lover. You may want to check that one out too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading!
Oh, I don't think I've heard of that one! Was it her first? I'll definitely look it up :)
Delete18 books ahead of schedule! Woot Woot, you go girl :) I'm 1 book behind :(
ReplyDeleteWhat are you reading @ The Brunette Librarian
Woot woot indeed! Thanks :)
DeleteI've not heard of Between Man and Beast before this but it sounds fascinating! Would love to hear what you think of it.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed it and I'll be reviewing it very soon!
DeleteLove your graphic. =)
ReplyDeleteI need to use my reader more. It's feeling neglected.
Thanks Jo ;) I haven't used mine YET. But I will, sooner or later, lol.
DeleteThat is a nice mixture of books you got there and I love the gif.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
Thanks Ciska! I like to shake it up between genres ;)
DeleteI have to give bonus points for the dr Who thingie, I love that!

kind regards,
Ha ha, thanks for the bonus points Bettina ;) I'll take 'em!
Delete18 books ahead? That's just... wow. I've heard almost all good about Me Before You, it seems a good book for discussion.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of raising my goal number! But then what if I have a very bad month? Hmm, guess I'll leave it alone for now ;)
DeleteBetween Man and Beast sounds like an interesting read! Congratulations on the 18 books ahead. I'm a few books ahead as well, but no idea how many!
ReplyDeleteTake a look at what I'm reading this week!
Between Man and Beast was excellent :) Thanks Majanka! I appreciate your visit here!
DeleteI have an iTunes giftcard to use for my iPad and can't decide what books to get either...I've had the giftcard since Christmas - good thing it doesn't expire!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great week and thanks for stopping by my blog!
~Kristin @ Always With a Book
PS - I joined your facebook page - love all the pics and quotes there!
A dear friend just gave me a Barnes and Noble gift card. I can't decide what to get either!
DeleteThanks for hanging out with me on FB Kristin!!
Me Before You and Between Man and Beast?! It looks like you have an amazing week of reading coming up. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteWoot woot! Love these great reading weeks! ;)
DeleteBetween Man and Beast seems really interesting! I look forward to reading what you think of it!
ReplyDeleteI think some weeks that are quiet on our blogs are part of what makes us stay sane! I love reading and chatting about books, but it happens sometimes that I just want to read - and not write :)
Here's my Monday Post.
Great point Lexxie ;) We do have to take time for reading so that we something to blog about!
DeleteThanks for visiting!
I had a good reading week as well, reading much more than I expected. You're doing great on the Goodreads challenge. Unfortunately, I need a challenge to read *less* not *more*. :-)
ReplyDeleteA reading challenge to read less...oh my word, that sounds torturous, lol!
DeleteYou have lots of good things going on!
ReplyDeleteI do, I do! :)
DeleteSticks and Stones sounds like a hard read. It's so important to be informed about this stuff, but we hate to think that it is happening in our own children's schools.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having an awesome week so far! :)
It was very interesting and there were parts that were hard to read. There was a section that made me cry angry tears :*(
DeleteAwesome! Thanks for stopping by my blog! Following you now.
ReplyDeleteBeth @ Free Spirit Books
Thanks so much Beth, I appreciate it!
DeleteHope you enjoy Me Before You when you get it from the library.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laura, I hope so too. I have a good feeling about it ;)
DeleteYou are KILLIN' IT on your reading challenge. Nice work! I've never read Dangerous Liaisons, but I'm interested in it. Hope your week goes great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Audrey! ;) This is my first time reading Dangerous Liaisons too. It's good so far!
DeleteThe book map is great! Enjoyed and now i think of creating an own map for my global reads :) have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThanks Dorothee :) I'm having a good time with it!
DeleteInteresting reads comimg up, I've seen the Me before You mentioned so will have to read up on it. Your doing great with your reading challenges. Have a good bookish week.

Hi Ruth, thanks for visiting :) Thanks so much!
DeleteYou know, I didn't even realize that Goodreads had a way to keep track of your reading challenge... I feel like a dope! LOL!
ReplyDeleteNew follower here.
I really like your reading selection, and I'm excited to peruse your blog :)
http://littlesqueed.blogspot.com/2013/03/its-monday-what-are-you-reading.html
LOL Heather ;) Well, now you know and you can get started! Thanks for following, I really appreciate it!
DeleteI;m very interested in Sticks and Stones. With one child who is very much his own person I am already dreading his high school years on his behalf, I can only hope that he will be strong enough to stand up for himself.
ReplyDeleteHave a great reading week!
Shelleyrae @ Book'd Out
Those years can be pretty awful for a kid. But on the other hand they can be pretty great too! :) I find that things are a lot more acceptable during my kids middle and high school years than they were in my day. (Which wasn't THAT long ago!)
DeleteGood luck with your reading this week. I'd go with the classics club spin book, cause I'm interested to see your thoughts on Dangerous Liasions.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tanya :) I did read it! It was scandalous and fantastic!
