It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday - June 26

Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday.   

 


It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.       

Welcome to the last Monday of June. In many ways, the month flew by. I'm sure the craziness of work helped with that. It's hard to believe we leave Friday for the Outer Banks. Here are the books coming with me on vacation:









If I want to read anything for Kindle, I will need to use my Kindle app because my Kindle Fire is totally dead. I am guessing it needs a new battery. I'm not sure if I will trade it in and get a new device or just use the Kindle app on my phone and laptop.

This weekend included the Lil' Diva's dance recital. She is also one of the dance teachers. It's been great watching her dance life evolve. Here are a couple photos.




In my reading world, I finished this book. You can find my review here.


Last Monday, my review of this book was posted here.


I read this book for an August virtual book tour. My review is posted on Goodreads, but it will appear at The Children's and Teen's Book Connection on August 29.

Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.

This devotional arrived in the mail. 


I also grabbed these two Kindle freebies. 



That's it for me this week. I have appointments in the morning, so I will catch up with all of you later today. Thanks for spending time with me.

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? - Jun 10



It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.

It is the second week of June. How is it the second week of June already? Didn't spring just start? Now, we are closer to summer. Well, at least that means vacation is on the horizon.

I've already put together my reading pile for the two weeks in NC. Both my Kindle and Kindle Fire are acting cranky, so I'll bring them, but not sure what I'll be able to read on them. Grrr!

In case you missed it, I reviewed this one on Friday. You can read the review here.




I finished this book and my review will appear this Friday at An Imperfect Christian Mom.


I am currently reading these three. 







This pile is going on vacation with me at the end of the month. 




Yes, Marilla was supposed to be my first read of the year. I started it, but got busy with books to review. I'm determined to read it while we are away.







I just bought this one. No, I don't need more books. This is just one I really wanted. The hubby wants to read it too, so that made spending the money on it easier.


This is for a review. August, I think. 

What is on your list this week? Anything new and exciting to share?

Happy Monday! Hope you enjoyed the first weekend in May. The Lil' Princess had a dance show all weekend, plus I had work and church, so we had some things going on. Not as hectic as it has been, which is fine by me.

Had a chance to review this book on Friday.


I recently started this one.


Then here is the rest on my list. 








After that, I might dabble in some of the leadership books I bought recently.




What's on your list this week? Anything you're excited about reading?

Maybe this week's meme should be called What Are You Not Reading? I've been busy, so not as many baths going on. Quick showers are okay, but they definitely mean no real reading going on. I've also been feeling a bit tired lately.

I'm still reading my Bible daily. We are in 1 Samuel right now. We will finish that book this week. I'm also continuing with the Lenten devotional.



I still have the same ones to tackle for reviews.








I also added this new one the list.


Not sure when I'll get to it, but I bought this one with an Amazon credit.


That's it from me. Hope you'll share your reading.
