The Weekend Review - August 13th-15th





The Sunday Post is a weekly meme hosted by Kimba the Caffeinated Book Reviewer ~ It's a chance to share news~ A post to recap the past week on your blog, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up on our blog for the week ahead.

If you'd like to participate with The Sunday Salon, it is now being hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz.

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading is a meme with a new host!  It's now being hosted by Kathryn at Book Date. This is where we share what we read this past week, what we hope to read this week…. and anything in between! This is a great way to plan out your reading week and see what others are currently reading as well… you never know where that next “must read” book will come from!

I'm also linking to  Stacking The Shelves which is hosted by Reading Reality.

Hi Everyone!  

We are now in the middle of August and I still can't believe how fast time is flying.  It's really weird, but that's how it is.  Everyone seems to be in "back to school" mode now.

Reading:  I finished two books.  Both were good.  I've been on a lucky roll reading good books lately.  I'm choosing right for me:)  

Watching:  Haven't watched much TV, but I'm all caught up with Better Call Saul.  The series finale is this Monday.  Also, Resident Alien is back and I watched that.  It's so funny.

Not much else happening around here.  I'm glad about that.  I hope you all have a great week ahead!

  1. All the schools here have started back. We are homeschool so we're a little more flexible but are planning on starting Monday. Enjoy your reading and have a great week!

  3. I'm glad you had a good reading week. I like the sound of Casserole Ladies and Take My Husband. (I'm in the mood for a comedy, I think.)

    It's crazy how fast time is flying. I wrote a check this week and I had to think hard to remember that it's August!

  4. Hi Yvonne, I can't believe school starts so early in some areas....still summer IMO. Our schools open the beginning of September but don't get out until around the third week of June.

    Lots pf interesting books read or lined up. I've been on a good steak with winners lately as well; hope that doesn't change. Have a good week.

  6. I can't wait to see season two of Resident Alien! We have to wait for the library to get it in DVD as we don't have streaming or TV feed.

  22. It's always great when we have books we really enjoy reading. Nothing worse than hitting something we don't like or are lukewarm about.

  25. So many great looking books on your list this week. I checked out a couple of your reviews and now want to add more books to my overloaded TBR Pile.

    Time is definitely flying by. We bring our youngest to college at the end of the week.

  27. Vampires and Villains has a really cute cover! I hope it's good.
    It's crazy how fast this summer went. We are definitely in back-to-school mode at our house.
