All the ETC:

The Sunday Salon.com 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!

    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 :)
