It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday - Jan 10

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.

We are back to Monday again. My first week proved to be hectic at work, but I will spare you the details. I still haven't put away the Christmas decorations, but the outside lights are down. The fun this week was going prom dress shopping. She didn't choose anything yet, but the Lil' Princess found some potentials. Though she really liked the red one, she wore red to last year's prom, so she probably won't choose that one. I can't believe our baby will graduate from high school in five months. 




Absolutely nothing going on in my reading world.  I didn't even open a book because of the other commitments I had this week. 

I hope to read some from this one tonight.



I will review the first chapter of this one on January 25.


My review of this poetry collection will appear on January 26. 



These two don't have a deadline, but I would like to get them read this month. 





After that, I need to review this one at my children's book blog in February.










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.

For some reason, I am on a book buying spree lately. I will take a break for a while once all of the books arrive. Here are the two newest that arrived in my mailbox.


I couldn't find a better picture of this used book. It is Yesterday, Today & Forever by Maria von Trapp.



Bill and I know each other through a publishing house. Now that they are out of business, he self-published this one.

I also picked up this book on Kindle.


Though I am primarily an editor, I work with authors to create a more marketable product. It makes me wonder if book coaching is a service I should add. I thought I would give this book a try. 

That's it for me. I hope you'll share your reading and new arrivals this week.
