Weekly Wrap-Up (2013-08-19)

So, I did not read as much as I would have liked this last week. But I did finish Unholy Ghosts and will be posting my review in the next couple of days. In the meantime, this is what I have been reading:

Read Last Week: 

That gives me a total of five books for the week. To help flex my review muscles (which are very out of shape) I will be writing mini-reviews for these this week. I am going to try and stick to a format of just a couple of paragraphs: Category, Summary, Review and Rating. 

I will work on doing the same thing each week for all of my books and then longer reviews for the What Should I Read Next selection.

As for everything outside of books, I put together two accent tables (one black, one shell), a bamboo shelving unit and a new Ikea side table for my family room. I have been trying to motivate myself to finish up some home projects and getting these put together was one of them. Now I just have to finish my kitchen reorganization. Hopefully that will go as smoothly.

So that takes care of what I did last week. In the realm of the purchases for the week. As noted, I read 5 books. You would think I would try to buy 5 or fewer books to help drive that crazy unread number down right? Not exactly. I bought exactly 19 books during the week. Now, I have to say in my defense that two were free books and I read two of the books I bought. So I really only increased my TBR pile by, ummm... 15. Must read more and buy less.

Here is the purchased book list from last week (read books in bold):



  • Talking Dirty With the Player: A Talking Dirty Novel (Entangled Indulgence) by Jackie Ashenden
  • Slow Summer Burn: A Loveswept Contemporary Romance by Elisabeth Barrett
  • What Happens in Scotland (Avon Romance) by Jennifer McQuiston
  • Inside Out Girl by Tish Cohen
  • Sugar Daddy (Travis) by Lisa Kleypas
  • Nerds Like It Hot (The Nerd Series) by Vicki Lewis Thompson

  • The Gingerbread House (Avalon Romance) by Nell Carson
  • The Second Chance CafĂ© (A Hope Springs Novel) by Alison Kent
  • The Proposition (The Plus One Chronicles) by Jennifer Lyon
  • Gingerbread Man by Maggie Shayne
