Total number of books I've read:

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

Blog Tour: Romancing the Countess by Ashley March

About the book: Sebastian Madinger, the Earl of Wriothesly, thought he'd married the perfect woman-until a fatal accident revealed her betrayal with his best friend. After their deaths, Sebastian is determined to avoid a scandal for the sake of his son. But his best friend's widow is just as determined to cast her mourning veil aside by hosting a party that will surely destroy both their reputations and expose all of his carefully kept secrets... Leah George has carried the painful knowledge of her husband's affair for almost a year. All she wants now is to enjoy her independence and make a new life for herself-even if that means being ostracized by the Society whose rules she was raised to obey.

But when it comes to matters of the heart, neither Sebastian nor Leah is prepared for the pa...
