It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? (25)

Posted on Sunday, July 25th, 2010 by the1stdaughter


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 was good, busy for more reasons than you can probably believe, but in the end it was a pretty good week. Unfortunately, early in the week we learned of the death of a close family friend and were able to travel to the funeral over the weekend. Because the family friend was on my husband’s side of the family and a long funeral service is not conducive to two small toddlers, I stayed home and sent my husband to the funeral with his family. The service was nice and I’m glad we live close enough to have been able to attend.

What traveling over the weekend meant for me, besides seeing family and taking care of the kiddos (normal), was that I had to host the Got Books? Event via lap top at my in-laws home. Whoa. A little bit of a challenge, but all in all I feel it went really well. We had around 100 sites participating and a very successful Twitter Party on Friday. It’s definitely an event I can’t wait to do again!

So, how was your week?

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

It wouldn’t be a typical week around There’s A Book without some excitement and craziness. We’ve been reading non-stop, all of us. The Turkeybird and Littlebug are hooked on a few of the same books and I can’t get them to read anything else. It’s really fun! Well, maybe up until about the 30th time each day, but I’m still just happy they love to read so much.

As for me, luckily, I have a fabulous hubby who took the kiddos so I could get somethings done this weekend! I was able to schedule and clean off my desk that was overflowing. It’s great and now I feel like I can conquer just about anything that comes my way. How about you? Anything fabulous happen this week?

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

Another busy week here at There’s A Book! Quite a few reviews and if I have to pick just one for you to look at it would absolutely be The Secret Lives of Princesses, one of my favorite books of the year (even for adults!). I was also able to get most of my links added to my “Links” page, make sure to let me know if I missed you, it wasn’t intentional, I promise!

I was also able to go to lunch on Saturday with one of my favorite book bloggers, Jill from Fizzy Thoughts! We are actually going to start up a monthly get together now that we know we have another friend nearby as well, Gwen from Chew & Digest Books. It should be a blast and I can’t wait!

Besides that, we’ve had a house of sick kiddos, but slowly they’re getting back on their feet…just in time to go to grandma’s for the weekend for a family reunion of sorts. That’s what’s happening here, how about where you are?

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!

This week has been pretty relaxed, with the exception of reading of course! On Friday The Baker (my hubby) was sworn in as an attorney here in the state of California, which was actually a pretty neat experience. We went to the local courthouse and met with the Supreme Court Judge who talked to us a bit and then he was sworn in. It was a fantastic ending and beginning. We are absolutely excited to see what happens next!

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

Okay, so, the week before was relaxing, this week…not so much. It was mass craziness here, but so completely worth it with how the Armchair BEA event turned out. We ended up having more than 170 participants and more posts than I have been able to get to in their entirety just yet. I have a feeling I’m going to be doing A LOT of blog reading and catching up this week, but I’m definitely looking forward to it! Also, this may be why you see a bit of repetitiveness in my reading/reviewing from last week to this, it took up most of my time, so this week is back to the grind. How about you?
