Busy week this week gettng my ducks all in a row for Thanksgiving this coming week. I spent my weekend at the Miss Dance Convention for my daughter and although I didn't get much reading done, I did get to visit a neat bookstore in Greenville, SC and acquire a few more books. Always doing my part to keep bookstores viable. :-) My reviewing was phenomenal this week but with the holidays coming, I'm sure I won't be able to keep up the pace. If I can just keep the review stack from growing any larger, I'll consider it a win! This meme is hosted by Sheila at Book Journey. Books I completed this past week are:
Crossing on the Paris by Dana Gynther
His Mistress by Christmas by Victoria Alexander
The Lighthouse Road by Peter Geye

Ooh Charlotte Street. I loved Charlotte Street, hope you liked it too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a lot of reviews. I need to get some of mine done.
ReplyDeleteWhat You Wish For looks like something I might pick up. The Casual Vacancy is definitely one that I'll skip!

I am so impressed that you got so many reviews written! I'm going to slink off to see if I can get one finished tonight.
ReplyDeleteHave a fantastic week!
Hi Kristen,
ReplyDeleteMy review pile looks pretty much like yours and I am trying desperately hard to shut my eyes to it and not get too stressed!
Mind you, my reading level has dropped off a lot just lately, so that should help matters, although I am a little frustrated by this sudden idea of being without a book on the go!
I shall look forwrad to your review of 'The Lighthouse Road', it sounds intriguing.
Also, I have heard good things from other bloggers about 'Crossing On The Paris', so that will be another to watch out for.
Enjoy your Thanksgiving,
Yvonne
