Weekly Geeks 12 Leave review links
My poorest reading month in years but I kept up my commenting, wrote posts for 12 new reading challenges and started participating in two more memes: Weekly Geeks and It's Monday! What are you reading? over at J. Kaye's Blog. I also garnered my first Hachette giveaway, 5 copies of The Girl Who Stopped Swimming by Joshilyn Jackson and I'm delighted. The Read-a Thon on April 18th should give me a reading boost. And spring is here, I refuse to be ill for another whole month.
What are you up to this Sunday?
It sounds like you had a good month of reading last month. One of these days I will get to The Gargoyle.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!
I am still hoping to get around to reading The Gargoyle and Mudbound sometime soon. You have accomplished a lot this month. Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat reading life you are living! You have motivated me to pick up a copy of The Gargoyle as well.
ReplyDeleteStarting The Believers by Zoe Heller today. High hopes. Happy reading!
I left a comment in response to yours regarding the cozy mystery challenge..but thought I would pop-over on your blog and answer here too.
ReplyDeleteIf you are still interested in signing up for my cozy mystery challenge - please do so! I know it's after April 1st, but I'll still allow it.
even if you r reading has not been up to your own standards...that is pretty good and all those challenges...you are definitely keeping yourself busy!
ReplyDeleteI think you had a great month! Hope you meet your April reading goals. Sometimes it's so hard to keep up with commenting, as there are way too many blogs I like to read and so little time.
