Sheila at Book Journey runs It's Monday! What Are You Reading?
This month I am taking part in the Take Control of your TBR Pile March Challenge over at Caffeinated reviewer. It means I am concentrating a little more on my actual shelves or Kindle shelves rather than review books. I hope to clear about 13, which isn't even a small dent, but should be satisfying anyway.
Yesterday we finally got some rain after about ten weeks of no rain, so I have never been so happy to see it and then back to sunshine. Can't complain.
I accomplished 90% of my goal steps for the past week, prefer 100%, but may have to re look at the goal and drop it slightly. My knee is complaining, so might have to be kind to it for awhile!
What I read last week:
Great historical romance.
My first by Sherry Thomas
A little different to the other two books I have
read by Cathy Lamb, but I loved it.
My top favourite Australian author
and another good story.
What I am reading at present:
Still listening to Angel Mine by Sherryl Woods.
Reading By Bread Alone by Sarah-Kate Lynch. (N.Z. author)
Up next:
The Settling Earth by Rebecca Burns. (For review)
Rebecca Burns is a British Author but the linked short stories in it, are set in colonial New Zealand.
Then possibly Outback Blaze by Rachael Johns. Reading a series backward here, but this was one I hadn't read and picked up at the local fund raising Book Fair last year and now moving it up off the TBR pile! My reading this coming week certainly has a Down Under flavour!
Posts from the last week:
The Road to Hope Rachael Johns
Intensive Care Nicki Edwards
Thief With No Shadow Emily Gee
Jubilee's Journey Bette Lee Crosby
The Madness of Lord Ian Mackenzie Jennifer Ashley

You're having a bit of a romance reading fest at the moment. I like the idea of clearing TBR piles though I tend to get behind in my reviewing more than my reading!

Deb, I guess I am, its a large part of my reading diet on the whole, I think you read faster than me, its rare I would read a book in a day.
DeleteI like Sarah-Kate Lynch and Sherryll Woods also. Lots of romance for you this week. Here's my post.

Actually just finished the Sarah-Kate Lynch one, not my favourite of hers though.
Deletegreat lineup of new to me authors - your reading goals are definitely working!
ReplyDeletethanks for the inspiriting comments and congrats on #2 - appreciate that ! :) you're probably right about cloud 9 :) !!
Yes, nothing much beats a new grandchild!
DeleteThe Road to Hope is on my reading list for this week, I hope you enjoy your reading week,
ReplyDeleteShelleyrae @ Book'd Out
Hope you enjoy it. I did. Like her writing.
DeleteYay for rain at last! I have that many books on my TBR pile I'm embarrassed to even admit to how many, If I never bought another book I think I'd still be getting through them when I'm 90! Good luck with the challenge!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you loved The Last Time I Was Me, even keener to read it now. Have a wonderful week and happy reading :)
Last Time I Was Me was fast reading! She has a breakdown and says things straight! Yeah TBR piles - in an earthquake I'd be buried in them!!
DeleteI'm going to have to check out White Balance - I'm intrigued! Hope you have a great week and happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteBrandie I love AP's books, although this is not her best I believe.
DeleteYay for the rain! I love it. We've gotten a lot of precipitation lately though so I'm good with some days to dry out. lol Hope you're knee is feeling better soon!
ReplyDeleteThe Cathy Lamb book caught my eye--both cover and title. May have to check that one out. Good luck with your reading challenge--have a great week.
ReplyDeleteMy recap: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2015/03/weekly-book-recap-101.html
It looks like you had a good reading week. Sorry to hear about your knee. Glad to hear it finally rained. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy Cathy Lamb's books, so I am eager to check out The Last Time I Was Me. Have a great week...and thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI haven't made any sort of dent in my TBR pile but I have set a goal of trying to read all the new books I impulsively buy. Some weeks are better than others. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your challenge! I just finished reading Maya Angelou's I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings for the first time. It was so good. Now I am reading Seed by Lisa Heathfield, also a good book. :)
ReplyDeleteLook like you had a good reading week. I haven't heard of many these authors.
ReplyDeleteI love the australian themed reads here lately :D They don't get enough attention, in my opinion. Good luck on your TBR goals ~ I only chose to do 5 so I knew I could realistically meet it, but I'll be disappointed if I don't read more. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to know the Cathy Lamb book is different but enjoyable. I am looking forward to reading it. I got myself caught up to one book on Kindle and then requested three more! Be kind to the knee!
