Good morning! Happy Friday! If I could… I would roll in this day. On the carpet…. like a dog. 😀 I have had a whirlwind week of being gone last weekend and coming home on Sunday for ten minutes before I dropped off the dog, picked up a book and headed another direction for a work retreat that brought me to Tuesday afternoon where I went home, showered, and left with my friend Amy to an author event in the cities.
*whew*
Wednesday I was tired, and Thursday I started to recover but yes… today – being a non work day… oh yeah 😀 I have a couple fun commitments this afternoon but for the most part…. January 31st is mine.
Coming our of January I am fairly pleased with how my reading month went to kick off 2014. I read:
Then Again by Diane Keaton (audio)
The Broken Path by Cami Checketts (audio)
Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberley McCreight
Labor Day by Joyce Maynard
Big Girl Panties by Stephanie Evanovich
Flowers In The Attic by V C Andrews
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline (audio)
I have a few reviews to write yet,but over all I am pleased with the month considering I have hardly read a thing this past week. You can see my WHERE are you reading page here, and my map (Which I love!!!) here.
How is your reading this first month into the year?
I am also still looking for the authors for Wine and Words this year. I am securing two Minnesota authors but would also like two from outside Minnesota. If you have any suggestions of who would make a great speaker for this August 22nd event that will have 200 people in attendance to hear them and purchase books, please email me at journey through books @gmail.com.



I actually read 14 books this month…I don’t know how…but I did! I think I need to slow down…lol…just a teensy bit! But for now…back to my book!
Nice!!! Way to go Patty!
You’ve read some great books this month. I can hardly believe we are a whole month into 2014 already… I’ve read 12 books this month that may be a record for me!
I know… January flew by! 😀
I finished 15 books this month and might finish the 16th by the end of the day. But maybe not, as I’m also headed out to a matinee of Labor Day. SQUEEE!
Enjoy your day….
Nice!!! I have a couple to clean up on : ) Enjoy Labor Day looks like we are going next Tuesday.
It looks like you had a great month considering how busy you always are! Have a good weekend.
Thanks – I love it when I can just relax and read 🙂
