This fabulous weekly recap is hosted by Shelia of One Persons Journey Through a World of Books. Each week we recap what we’ve read and look at what’s coming up this week. If you’re interested head over to Shelia’s site and get involved! It’s a blast and I may even stop by to see what you’re up to!

Here’s what we’ve been up to this week:

This week has been another rip roaring crazy week here. Bloggiesta was this weekend and I was lucky enough to step in at the last minute for a Mini-Challenge all about figuring out your stats. It was really fun and I think I was able to help a lot of other bloggers out there! Besides that, I’ve been reading like crazy and running after kiddos constantly. I even managed to throw out my back mid-week at the park (Littlebug is getting a bit big to haul up the top of a slide, but not big enough to get up there herself). I’ve also been busy with Gina from Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers putting together a book event of Epic proportions! You will definitely want to check out the Got Books? event, it’s going to be fabulous!


New Event!!!

Also, I just wanted to mention one more time that I’ve started a new Meme here at There’s A Book! It’s called A Bit of Me(Me) and it runs every Saturday. After participating in Armchair BEA and getting to know a little bit more about some of the fabulous bloggers out there I wanted to take the opportunity to do a little more “meeting and greeting”. I also wanted something on the weekends that was a little more relaxing. This week’s participants were fabulous and I can’t wait for more to jump on board. So, take a look and try it out! I can’t wait to get to know everyone a little better!

    Hi Danielle,

    I’ve just checked out The One That I Want and The Lies We Told on Indiebound. The Lies We Told sounds engrossing and it’s got a touch of adventure in it as well. I’m adding it to my exponentially-expanding TBR list.
