Monday's Beginnings (81)

How are you faring at the beginning of this week?  Are you starting a new book or finishing one up?

Well, it's Monday.  I'm hoping this week will be a better week for me as I spent last week exhausted and down with a head cold.  I did however get some good reading in.  Which is guess is the good side to it. :)  So, what did I do?  Well, give me a moment as it's a little fuzzy everything I did.  I feel like I was all over the board last week.
   I started and finished Chasing the Bard by Philippa Ballantine ~ Planning on having the review up later this week.
   Continued reading The Darkest Edge of Dawn by Kelly Gay for the Book Chat on Thursdays.
   Started reading Grimspace by Ann Aguirre for the Book Chat on Tuesday this week.
   Started reading City of Ashes by Cassandra Clare for a discussion with a few blogger friends on the 25th.

Well, I think this is the most books going at one time I've ever had! lol. I think I had a book in every room of the house while I was sick.

I did get my review up for The Unfinished Song: Book One Initiate by Tara Maya. (click the title to jump over to it.)

So I have big plans for myself this week now.  I'm almost at half way with City of Ashes and darn if it hasn't swept me away.  So I plan on finishing this book this week as I don't think I can put it down.  Then I will also finish The Darkest Edge of Dawn by Kelly Gay.  The chat is on Thursday for the end of the book and I have to know what is going on with Hank.  So a big week in pages while working during the day.  I think I can do it. :)  I'm hoping to get the reviews for Chasing the Bard by Philippa Ballantine and The Darkest Edge of Dawn by Kelly Gay by/on Saturday.

On to my WANT List... well with it being a slow week for me I only added 4 books.  Well, that's okay.  As I think I'll make up for it this week. :) Thank you!

Received Last Week:
Well with feeling yucky, I really didn't go anywhere.  Well I did go to work for a few days, but couldn't bring myself up to the strength to go anywhere else.  But I did receive a book in the mail...
