Updates


Monday
Number of books I've read today: 0 – well technically 1.  I finished up a book I was half way through. 
Total number of books I've read: 0 (1)
Books: I started reading “Beauty and the Werewolf” by Mercedes Lackey.

Tuesday
Number of books I've read today: 1
Total number of books I've read: 1
Books:  Finished reading “Beauty and the Werewolf” and started “Woodrose Mountain” by RaeAnne Thayne.

Wednesday
Number of books I've read today: 0
Total number of books I've read: 1
Books:  Okay, so I started “Woodrose Mountain” and then was distracted by the pile of historical romances on my night stand.  So I also started “The Taming of a Scottish Princess” by Karen Hawkins and “A Night Like This” by Julia Quinn.

Thursday
Number of books I've read today: 1
Total number of books I've read: 2
Books:  Finished “The Taming of a Scottish Princess” this afternoon, I’m about halfway through “A Night Like This” and about 1/3 of the way through “Woodrose Mountain”.  Also started reading “Royal Street” by Suzanne Johnson  Hoping to start a couple of the other books on my list before the weekend gets into full swing.

Friday
Number of books I've read today: 0
Total number of books I've read: 2
Books:  Well I haven’t added anything to my finished list today.  I did get a good chunk of the way through “Woodrose Mountain” it’s a good book so far.. a bit heavier then what I would normally pick up.  I also read a bit of “Royal Street” which is a great book so far!  Didn’t get a chance to read more on “A Night Like This” – but I am hoping to tomorrow!

Saturday
Number of books I've read today: 0
Total number of books I've read: 2
Books:  So, yeah.  I didn’t get any reading done today.  Work was hectic, we had family up.. Just didn’t happen!

Sunday
Number of books I've read today: 1
Total number of books I've read: 3
Books:  I picked up “Driving Mr. Dead” this afternoon.  It’s a companion book to "The Care and Feeding of Stray Vampires” which is a bookclub selection I am reading for the first week of September.  I hate reading things out of order, so I figured I should read it before I tackled the bookclub selection.  I did also make some good headway in “Woodrose Mountain” and “Royal Street”.  Unfortunately I didn’t get as much read as I would have liked!  I did knock 3 more books of my TBR list though – which I am happy about!  Next time I think I won’t put as many books on my goal list… LOL

Book Tour: Bring Me Back by Karen Booth

I’m Karen, a Midwestern girl transplanted in the South, raised on 80s music, Judy Blume, and the films of John Hughes.

Much of my writing revolves around the world of backstage passes and band dynamics. My first full-length novel, “Bring Me Back”, is a story I had in my head for nearly eight years before my fingers hit the keyboard.
