It’s Monday, What are you reading?
Each Monday, The Book Date asks what we’re reading via It’s Monday, What are You Reading?… Please visit the site to link up your current list and hold yourself accountable. Also, you can visit some great blogs who are also doing this meme… It’s pretty awesome.
This week, I should be focusing on the books to the left of the Star Wars: Ahsoka novel. What will I probably be reading? Those on the right of it (and including it!). The books on the left are books I have bookcrossed and are going to be boxed up for the Akron Reading Festival that the Rubber City Book Posse attends each year. They collect and distribute THOUSANDS of free books–all so that they can help turn the world into a library. How cool is that? By sending them books, I am helping get my own Mt TBR (and in turn shelves) into order–yay!!!!!
Please note, below are some items you can buy. I get a small commission to help pay the hosting bill if you click my link, but it is no additional cost to you.
I also picked up the following book that I’d held off on due to price (it’s only $2.99 via Kindle today):
In addition to Amazon’s massive sale, Early Bird books has a list of awesome books on sale. I ended up getting the Color Purple box set digitally. The good news is that this sale goes on for the rest of the month.
I’m just under 160 books read for the year (157) and I’m 45,000 words into my 50,000 word novel in a month. So I’m doing pretty awesome. Anyway–it’s Monday–what are YOU reading?

November 28, 2016 at 5:04 pmBookcrossing sounds like a really good idea. Hope you enjoy Truly Madly Guilty when you get to it.

November 28, 2016 at 6:28 pmI’m in the middle of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert. It’s not as tantalizing as Eat Pray Love but I like the premise.

November 29, 2016 at 5:12 amI am eagerly awaiting the arrival of a box from Amazon, containing a copy of “The Help”, by Kathryn Stockett. I’ve seen the movie several times, but somehow I’d never gotten around to reading the book.
I can’t wait for the mail to come today!

November 29, 2016 at 10:41 amI need new book recommendations, since my Kindle list is getting a bit small – and the books still on there don’t really interest me anymore. I really need to find more time to read so I can get through my reading list before that happens!
