Since I am certainly not getting ahead of the books coming in, at least I want to keep to a consistent level with the reading and reviewing. See how well, I did, she asks sarcastically?

5 books read and 3 reviews that's pretty good, says she who only read 1 and reviewed 1 LOL (but I do have 6 or so to do ... oh well who's counting)
ReplyDeleteLove the title of this book, The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake, even though I have no idea what it's about.
Happy reading and reviewing :-)
Definitely a good week you got there and am hoping that the trend for this week will be even better! Have a great day =)
ReplyDelete5 books is quite a great reading week, last week.
ReplyDeleteI have to say I haven't heard of the books that you are reading but I can't wait to see what you think :)

You had a super week of reading!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great week. Can't wait for you review of The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake - it's a fantastic title! (BTW, I know nothing about the book, just love the title!)
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Monday at kyliesreads.blogspot.com
The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake - What a funny title for a book! :) I hope it's a good read.
ReplyDeleteEvery week I see you post this and every week I think that I should start posting mine too, but then after it's identical for weeks in a row it wouldn't be so interesting!
ReplyDeleteThat said, I at least wish I'd write the reviews I'm behind on before I forget the books!
