Grilling out
And Playing Catch-Up
I’ve got several reviews I should write and a whole batch of books sitting on my shelves or hanging out on my Kindle, both review copies and personal reads that I want to get to. So this month I’ve decided to focus on catching up- writing those reviews, clearing off my shelves, reading and giving away books.
Here’s my starting list. I know I’ve got a bunch more books, but these are what comes to mind. I’m not sure how much I’ll get done, but might as well be ambitious. I do have a week off work when hopefully I’ll have a lot of extra time to read.
Reviews to write:
- Always a Princess by Alice Gaines
- A Plain Death by Amanda Flower
- Nevermore by William Hjortsberg
- Angels Flight by Michael Connelly
Books to read:
- Seattle Cinderella by Gail Sattler
- The Lola Quartet by Emily St. John Mandel
- Beautiful Outlaw by John Eldredge
- Winged Obsession by Jessica Speart
- The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammet
- Any of the other stacks of books around my house.
Then in July, I’ll be reading some baseball books. What can be more perfect for summer in America?
I’m trying to catch up before I head out of town. Good luck to both of us!
So much to do and not enough time in which to do it.
Here’s to summer, ice cream, picnics, fireworks and all the rest.
I love summer!
Do you work less in the summer?
Great post!!!
I wish I worked less, but my schedule’s pretty much the same.
I love the summertime. Grilling and jogging in the park are two fo the reasons why 🙂
Happy reading and reviewing Carol.
I’m planning on playing catch up too. I have 4 reviews to do and lots of books to read so I can catch up. I’m cutting way back on accepting anything for now.
I’m always a few reviews behind, even when I have extra time. I like to read more than I like to write and when I read more, I have more reviews to write. It does seem like an endless circle!
I need to take up jogging in the park 🙂
