Monday

Manic Monday Recaps [Week 8/23/10]

Happy Monday friends! I've had a hectic morning. The kids are back in school here in Miami-Dade County and traffic was a hot mess. My kids weren't very susceptible to the idea after having two weeks off with mommy - so this morning it was tearful, weepy hugs all around. Then it was rushing to work (my first day back) in order to get there on time. But alas, I am safe and sound sitting in front of my computer already back to the daily grind. These past couple of weeks off I planned on getting caught up on my reading and that (as always) was not the case. Instead, I spent my time with the kids giving them a couple of fun-filled weeks. Hopefully, I'll get back on track this week since I am now on the way to my normal routine.

Here's what I plan on reading this week:

Last week I read the following:
- Men and Dogs by Katie Crouch
- It's a Book by Lane Smith
- The Dead Boys by Royce Buckingham
- The Island by Elin Hilderbrand

I reviewed the following:

- Plain Kate by Erin Bow [review]
- Kiss Me Deadly: 13 Tales of Paranormal Love - anthology [review]

Have a great reading week.

Totally unrelated to your topic today, but after viewing your past VLOGS, how fast do you actually read?

I probably have about 70+ books I own that need reading, but I constantly have to put them to the bottom of the TBR pile so that I can read and review for my AURORA site I belong to.

@Chrystal It depends on the size of a book - but if it's anywhere between 200-300 pgs I normally read it in one day. My goal is to read anywhere from 6 to 7 books in a week although lately I've been slacking. I plan on getting back on track now that I'm back on a routine. But yes, like you, I have a ton of books at home ready to review.

So jealous that you got Crescendo!!
I'm probably buying one on preorder, by the Book Depository, along with Runaway by Meg Cabot (paperback, always paperback hehe)

I have to get myself back on track - I used to be able to read two to three books a week, but somehow I am managing maybe one a week sometimes one every two weeks.
