I love being a part of this and I hope you do too! As part of this weekly meme I love to encourage you all to go and visit the others participating in this meme. While I am no longer offering up the giveaway incentive, I do hope you will still see the value of visiting other participants and seeing what they are reading- be warned though… this meme tends to add to your reading lists
I feel rejuvenated. I think I have done more BOOK reading the past two weeks then I have done in months. In feels great to really dig into a book and actually have time to enjoy it. 😀 I even wrote a couple reviews:
The Returned by Jason Mott ( the reviews are mixed…. see what I thought 😉 )
Ok… I lied. I wrote one review. I really need to catch up. :razz; BUT I did write some fun morning meanderings… about a show I will miss, about the end of the kickball season (yes, kickball!) and my struggle with the book club book.
This week I am still listening to Dr. Sleep (phone) and The Half Blood Prince (car) and reading The City Of Class by Cassandra Clare. As far as whats up next….hmmm….
As a college student he spent 16 days in the Pacific Ocean with five guys and a crate of canned meat. As a father he took his kids on a world tour to eat ice cream with heads of state. He made friends in Uganda, and they liked him so much he became the Ugandan consul. He pursued his wife for three years before she agreed to date him. His grades weren’t good enough to get into law school, so he sat on a bench outside the Dean’s office for seven days until they finally let him enroll.
Bob Goff has become something of a legend, and his friends consider him the world’s best-kept secret. Those same friends have long insisted he write a book. What follows are paradigm shifts, musings, and stories from one of the world’s most delightfully engaging and winsome people. What fuels his impact? Love. But it’s not the kind of love that stops at thoughts and feelings. Bob’s love takes action. Bob believes Love Does.
When Love Does, life gets interesting. Each day turns into a hilarious, whimsical, meaningful chance that makes faith simple and real. Each chapter is a story that forms a book, a life. And this is one life you don’t want to miss.
I picked this up at a conference we went to for work a few months back.
With death only a heartbeat away, Gene and the remaining humans must find a way to survive long enough to escape the hungry predators chasing them through the night. But they’re not the only things following Gene. He’s haunted by Ashley June who he left behind, and his burgeoning feelings for Sissy, the human girl at his side.
Their escape takes them to a refuge of humans living high in the mountains. Gene and his friends think they’re finally safe, but not everything here is as it seems. And before long, Gene must ask himself if the new world they’ve entered is just as evil as the one they left behind. As their enemies close in on them and push Gene and Sissy closer, one thing becomes painfully clear: all they have is each other…if they can stay alive.
The sequel to The Hunt (which I loved!)

Prey looks good. I’m off to look up the first book in the series.
Glad you are getting back into the swing of reading. Have a good week.
I can barely keep up these days and I’m not nearly as busy as you are.
Glad you are getting back into reading again. Have a great week!
I never did read The Hunt though it looked really good. I hope you have a great week and enjoy your reading.
I ended up picking up The Hunt on audio after reading your review, hope to get to it in the next couple of weeks. Have a great week and happy reading 🙂
You are finding your blogging groove again!
Yay for rejuvenation! My sister finally got her copies of City of Bones and City of Glass. That’s right–she can’t find #2! Ah, well. I have to love her. I know the library has it when I’m ready for it. Enjoy your week!
I meant to say she got the City books to me. She read them years ago. Oops.
When you take a hiatus from reading, the return is always exciting.
It’s admirable that even though life gets busy, you still do the best you can with this blog! Happy reading, Sheila!
I have my eye on The Returned by Jason Mott. Can’t wait to read your review. Like your mailbox too.
Thanks for hosting this meme. This is my second week participating.
I’m reading Doctor Sleep as well. How is the audio? I’m off to check out what you thought of The Returned! I didn’t get to do much blog visiting during the week!
Yeah…you are back.
ENJOY your week.
Good to have you back, Sheila, and glad you finally had some reading time! Looks like you are into some excellent books. I will have to check out your review of The Returned – I’ve been wanting to read that one.
Enjoy your books this week –
Sue

Happy to see you back. Love Does looks (for lack of a better word) lovely. Happy reading this week.
Nice week of reading this week! I am interested in that book Love Does. I like to read memoirs with a positive message that I can take something away from reading it. Thanks for sharing it.
Glad you have been able to read a few books! Have a great week!
What a crazy weekend. I forgot to link up last night! Looks like you are getting a bit of reading time. Enjoy!
The Prey sounds a bit too intense for me right now–I need gentle reads! 🙂 Love Does, looks pretty interesting. I go through phases when I really want to read memoirs so this should go on my list!
xoxox
Good to read that you’re back into reading! I hope you have a great week !
I’ve been busy too so it’s been tough making time to write a review or any post for that matter! Hopefully things will start to settle down with Fall in full swing.
