It's 3rd Monday in June! What Are You Reading? 17.6.13

It's the 3rd Monday in June ! What Am I Reading? Well, I'm totally enjoying Library Thing's  Monday June 10 -  Monday 17 midnite Any other readers here participating? I found out about it via twitter, a teeny bit late, but not enough to dissuade me ! So jumped in and, of course, enjoying another permission to read... This one's different in that you can actually sign up for the hours you intend to read, [or have read during the event] allowing everyone to note when people are reading around the world.  Pretty cool. Everyone can log book reads HERE plus responses .   Of course reviews can be posted on your Library Thing account or books added to your various libraries . Sign up info that will be helpful for the next one can be found HERE.
If I continue to ignore my responsibilities for one more day I'll probably have  another book to add! * So far, my week's been amazing book wise.  Starting with the 1/2 price sale at the  neighbourhood charity store! Not that I needed 1.more.book!  but at .25 and .50/each, I couldn't leave them shelved.  Oh No.  3 bags full are now shelved [temporarily] on a large chair in my living room! FuN to find books for family members by their fave authors too! Extra wee gifts to surprise them once in awhile...
* The reading part of my week looked like this ~ * The BLossom Sisters 10.6.13  Unfortunately, content not worthy of its pretty cover.

Glamorous Illusions book 1 Grand Tour series Lisa T Bergren 10-12.13

Grave Consequences book 2 of the Grand Tour series                                                             
I liked book 1 best so far, but interest definitely piqued at ending of book 2  Tons of Anticipation for book 3 due Oct 1st..
Grace's Pictures by Cindy Thomson read 14-15.6.13
Grace is a 19 yr old Irish immigrant -  Add to this emotive story the invention of Kodak's Brownie, people's reactions to photos  as invasion of privacy, and some suspenseful scenes ensue.. [plus a lovely side of romance!]






Finished Ripples Along the Shore eNovella  #3 Quilted Hearts series by Mona Hodgson ,  and posted Goodreads review 16.6.13 today A lovely series of sisterhood of women, post civil war, uniting in support and encouragement over  weekly quilting as they piece their lives back together and their hopes/dreams for the future..


*

plus,
I read Cupcakes, an ebook by Daniel Kelley, a LibraryThing win. 16.6.13 

           A short, well written familial eParable of 4 cousins being cared for by an Auntie 

who owns the bakery where they meet daily; progressing to adulthood, whilst keeping the bond she instilled.  Don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got til it's gone? Definitely sweet, but not a cookbook!






* That's it for this week at this point, but liable to change the minute another book  catches my eye!
*
How about your reading week? Books?  Read-a-THons or ReadaTHing?
* Next Monday I probably won't post unless I'm super organized and autopost! I'll be busy packing to fly out to meet my lovely wee grandson [and of course spend time with my blessed son and daughter in law!] Not to worry about my reading though - I've 2 1/2 hours to enjoy my kindle enroute! * Because I'll be away, I do want to invite ALL of you to join the 7th Annual Canadian Reading Challenge  which begins on Canada's Birthday, July 1st of every year.

Definitely a Top Fave Reading Challenge ! It's all about challenging one's self to more Canadian reading discoveries. Are you up to the Challenge?  Hope to find you there!
