"All the best stories in the world are but one story in reality -- the story of escape. It is the only thing which interests us all and at all times, how to escape."
--Author Christopher Benson

It's Monday!! What Are You Reading???

This great meme is hosted by Sheila at "Book Journey".

 It's a great way to start the week and 
find out what other bloggers are reading.  
My To-Be-Read pile has grown to an 
unbelievable number thanks to this meme.
 
 
First I have to start out by saying  
BlogFest was a BLAST!! 
I made it to all 250+ blogs, it was sad that some people signed up and then didn't participate, but sometimes emergencies happen or things do not go as planned.  I have already received an email that I won a Barnes & Noble Gift Certificate.  I am so excited, which books from my wish list do I want to buy!! 

Cinnamon at A Journey of Books did an excellent job of hosting, the web page for checking off blogs you visited was wonderful.  I had almost 500 sentries for my 4 Escape With Some Good Books packages.  I found a lot of really good blogs that I probably wouldn't have found, so my blog following number increased dramatically.  I did not make people follow my blog to enter my giveaways but added almost 100 new followers.  I would say this event was a grand success and can't wait to do it again!!!

 The weather has improved and so have my aches and pains.  The new batch of cozies has arrived and I love this time of the month.  I usually clear some books off my To-Be-Read pile as I get caught up on the series before I read the new installment and I really like that It won't be long and I'll be all caught up and can start to work on the other genres screaming at me from that huge pile.

I would love it if you would all come back 
on Thursday for my new feature.
 
  No, I am not a new Tabloid Reporter, but it is a feature so that we can all get to know each other better. 
I hope you will all check it out and join the fun.

 

Check out the 2 giveaways in the left sidebar!
I will be announcing my 
September Book Giveaway tomorrow!
To celebrate Book Blogger Appreciation Week 
there will also be some other giveaways too!!
 

HAPPY READING EVERYONE!

I'm reading "The Heroines" by Eileen Favorite. Not sure where it's headed, but very interesting.
