Good morning and happy Sunday. I had quite the steady week of appointments, conference calls, and meet ups ending the week yesterday with a Writing Conference and with an Author Book Release party. A busy week but looking over it now, a fun and productive one too.
It seems like at this time I am spending a lot of time reconnecting with people I have not seen in a while and maintaining time with those I do keep in my life pretty actively. It’s all crazy but as I talk to people I am making connections for what I am doing now so it is all good.
Crazy good actually.
I had a nice little surge of books and audio come in this week that I am excited about:
Books:
Ming Tea Murder by Laura Childs (from the author)
The Longest Ride by Nicholas Sparks (purchased)
Seven Stones by Julia Lee (SQUUUEEEE!!! purchased at her book signing)
The Tapestry by Nancy Bilyeau (from Touchstone/ Simon and Schuster)
Rebel Queen by Michelle Moran (from the author)
Audio:
The Island of Dr. Libris by Chris Grabenstein (Listening Library)
HALF WILD by Sally Green (Listening Library)
At The Waters Edge by Sara Gruen (Random House Audio)
DEAD WAKE by Erik Larson (Random House Audio)
The World Before Us by Aislinn Hunter (Random House Audio)
I am going to spend some time reading today. Seems like this past week that part has been lacking. By the time I get done running each day I am too tired to read. This week I hope to correct that. 🙂
Any fun new exciting books that have come your way this week?
Book Journey 
I was happily surprised to receive Rebel Queen this week. I enjoy Moran’s novels. Hope you can get some good reading today, Sheila.
I like Moran too, they really take you there 🙂
It was WONDERFUL seeing you at the release party! The whole event was better than I could have ever dreamed. THANK YOU for all of your support, Sheila! You are amazing! 🙂
It was impressive! So glad I could be a part of it Julia!
Nothing new for me in books. I think I need to take a trip to Barnes and Noble and spice things up a bit!
Ahhhhh… the Mother Ship. Enjoy 😀
Unleash by Eileen bBarry. The second in this delightful about a vet and her life.
I reached a milstone today. I have been blogging.

YAY Betty!
The book was great.
I am looking forward to the Rebel Queen!
Me too!
That’s quite a haul of books! That should keep you happy for a few days!
Yes! 😀
Lots of good titles here. I need to pull up some audios to follow the one I am reading. Thank goodness for Audible Subscription! Enjoy all your new books.
I love my Audible!!!
That’s a nice stash of books! I always enjoy Chris Grabenstein’s books – I’ll have to check out The Island of Dr. Libris.
It looks like a fun one!
I’m excited to see what you think about ‘At the Waters Edge.’ I’ve seen mixed reviews but tend to like Gruen. I’m back into running as this winter thaws and it’s left me a little tired as well. Happy reading!
I am excited about it too – I have read her before but not listened on audio!
I finally purchased FISH IN A TREE and am REALLY looking forward to reading it 😀 Don’t know where to put it in the queue though. I’m trying to read some library books first!
Fish In A Tree? I am soooo curious now! 😛
I loved Rebel Queen and really enjoyed At the Water’s Edge too. I still haven’t read The Longest Ride. Guess I better fix that soon with the movie coming up.
LOL right? I have some fun news about the book coming up so thought I had better catch up 😀
I love the fact that you are connecting with people/friends you haven’t seen in a while.
I really do too. Its one of the great things about my new job, it is flexible. I can work at 6 am…. and I can work at night if I want to and use my day in other ways 😀
