My Sunday Salon is depressingly late. Why? Because I have a job! This unfortunately affords me little time to come online and post reviews. No doubt I will get back into the swing of it in the next coming days, I just have to learn how to properly allocate my time. There are a lot of things I do that I can just… well, not do. With some small modifications I my day, I will be able to find ample time to book review.
As it is, I have finished two books that I have to find time to sit down and write reviews of. Maybe what I need to do is just get started on them and this will propel me forward.
Think so?
Maybe.
Yet, you know what is so amusing in all of this?
I am actually reading MORE. You see, by the time I come home from work, I am so tired that I can’t bring myself to do anything BUT sit or lie down and read a book. I am absolutely breezing through books now. Not to mention as soon as I take my lunch break (albeit 30 minutes), I am reading as much as I can. I’m not much of an eater. I’d rather sit down with a book for that 30 minute break than eat.
Hopefully I will be able to sit down and do those reviews this week before they start piling up even more.
And you know what I said as soon as I got hired? I said, “Now I can buy more books.” I’ll confess that I am a bargain book shopper. Some of my favorite books such as Medicus by Downie and Imperium by Harris were bought from the marked down section at Barnes and Noble. Also, I shop for used copies on eBay. There’s nothing wrong with buying a $5 used copy of a book from someone across the country! That was how I bought Roman Blood by Saylor. I don’t HAVE to head down to the bookstore and pay full price for a book at all.
Good news on the book front, though. Miriam Parker of the Hachette Book Group is sending me the entire Vaughn’s Kitty series to read and review. I just can’t wait to get those books and start reading them because I have been DYING to for so, so long. YEY!
Want to see what I got in the mail this week? A pretty good stack, definitely…
As you can see, the Book Giveaway Carnival was very good to me.
Until next week!

Great collection of books there, have seen the Kingmaking mentioned on other blogs, I’ll keep an eye out for that one. Hope you have a good week.
what a great haul of books! i’ve been reading a ton more than usual too, just taking time at times I used to do other things. as far as the bargain-hunting, that i’m not so good at!
marie’s last blog post..Sunday Salon
The Crimson Petal and the White is absolutely amazing. I read it years ago and it has stayed with me. That’s a lot of books to win! Great choices
