Its Monday, What are you reading?

Published on by Sheila (Book Journey)

Thanks to J Kayes wonderful weekly meme here, I take Coffee Cup into the reading room every Monday morning (usually pajama clad) and choose what I would like to read for the week.  And yes, if you look at the amount of books I choose on some (many) weeks you will see I am usually quite optimistic – or perhaps I live in an alternate universe where time stands still and I can read forever….

Ahhhhh…. utopia….

Ok – back to earth.  Here is what went down here last week which was pretty cool – so I have linked them here if you have missed anything exciting:

    1. LOL Laura, I even went through my Spam emails and made sure I didn’t delete a request that I thought was just advertising… thanks – I am not sure if that will do it, but thought maybe….

  4. Penguin Luck and War Child both look interesting.
    Good luck with the Amazon Reviews-one of my doctors posts his reviews on Amazon-it was funny and re-assuring to see the medical books that he purchased. Half the time when I see him we talk books more than health.

  5. I love working out too — that’s where I get a bunch of my “reading” done! Love audiobooks. I listened to just about all the Amelia Peabody books that way (those were my first, suggested by my librarian), then went to the “Cat Who” books. I go on spurts. Just got the latest Vince Flynn thriller and am a couple CDs into that one. In terms of reading, I’m doing a lot of non-fiction reading, including how to write for the web, how to use my iphone better and a great book on how to create a sellable business. That one is so interesting — I have a preview copy. The book is “Built to Sell” by John Warrillow, who learned the hard way how to create a business that sells. These are hard financial times — knowing if you can or cannot sell your business you worked however many years to create is very, very useful.

  7. Like Liz above I also put my audiobooks on my MP3 player. Huge help since my car’s CD player went out. Anyway, I clicked on your reviews over at Amazon. Hope that helps!

    1. Angie, every year we get a points catalog from Preferred Pump for the money we spent with them the previous year. Last year we got Al an IPod to use and this year I am waiting for that catalog and I am getting an IPod! 🙂

  10. Looking forward to your reviews! I keep meaning to do this meme, then suddenly it’s Wednesday….*sigh*

    And could you please send me directions to that alternate universe where time stands still and we can read forever? 😀
