It's Monday! What Are You Reading?


It's Monday again. Thanks for stopping by! This is a good Monday because I'm on vacation! Yay! I'm hoping to fit some reading time into my vacation this week, but I'm not sure I'll have a chance to do much blogging. We'll see how that goes. Last week wasn't nearly as productive as the week before, but I still did some reading.

I published my review of Life, In Spite of Me by Kristen Jane Anderson this morning. I'm also hosting a giveaway so be sure to click on the title to read my review and enter to win a copy!

I also published my What My Children Are Reading post again this week. And I finished reading The Post-War Dream by Mitch Cullin, but I haven't had a chance to write my review yet. I'll try to get to it this week. I did like this book, but it was one of those books where I had to be in the right mood to read it and enjoy it.

Currently Reading
I'm currently reading The Last Christian by David Gregory. This is for a blog tour that's happening next week, so check back then for my review and another giveaway!

Up Next
Not My Daughter by Barbara Delinsky (June book club selection)

Getting back to blogging

It seems that blogging has dropped to the bottom of my list for the past year, and was pretty low for the year or two prior to that. I love to read, and am continuing to do so, but as my regular readers know I haven't been around much. My last blog post was almost a year ago!!

There are many things that have taken me away from blogging. Work has been much more challenging and interesting these past few years, but that means I really don't want to get back on the computer when I get home at night - or on the weekends.

Family life has been more busy with kids having multiple activities in the evenings, leaving little time to just hang out and write about the books that I read.

I will admit to a bit of a Facebook addiction, which means way too much time spent scrolling through my newsfeed instead of doing something more productive. This is one of the things I'm working on and hoping that this will free up some time for getting back to the blog.

Overall, life is good. Work is …
