I kept to my word and only read review books this week. On the down side, I only read two. So that brings me to a total of three so far for the Clean Sweep ARC Challenge. There is still a week left, so I think I’ll read 2 or 3 more. I’m not behind on ARCs, I just wanted to be more ahead than I am. No biggie.
The school year is winding down and I have conflicting feelings. I’m happy that it’s pretty much summer now, but then it means my son will be a senior in high school. I want these last two weeks to go by verrrrry slow.
And my son is still a terrible driver. He almost caused a wreck last week and I saw my life flash before my eyes – all the books I still have on my TBR that I wouldn’t get to read. It was traumatizing.
On the Blog

I love Jeyn Roberts and can’t wait to read this!

These are all free except See You in Hell ($0.99), Pushing the Limits ($0.31) and of course Sixth Grave. I’ve already read PtL, but didn’t have a digital copy so went ahead and grabbed it.
What I’m listening to
Hope you have a great week!
LOL, sorry, I suck because that last bit, about all the books you wouldn’t be able to read, totally made sense to me and okay, I would have thought of it too.
Hope he, I don’t know, becomes a better driver? Pays more attention? Doesn’t’ kill his mother? 😛
lol – it was pretty sad. I hope for ALL of those things too!
Glad you finally got to read Easy. I have read that several times now I just loved it so much.
I totally get that you would think about all the books that you have to read when your life flashed before your eyes, I would too. Lets hope his driving improves and soon by the sounds of it.
Hope you have a wonderful week.

Thanks, Sharon! You too. 🙂
I love Rammstein !!! A few years ago, they gave a concert in Paris on my birthday and I passed in front of the concert hall and thought I had to go catch a train instead of attending and almost cried in the street 🙂 You made me laugh with your TBR pile flash ! Have a great week and don’t. get. in. his. car !
I might’ve cried a little too when they FINALLY came back to the US, but I couldn’t go to their concert because I was having my kidney removed. *sigh*
Oooh, I need to listen to some Rammstein too :))) I’m sure your son will be a better driver soon! The Bodies We Wear looks awesome, and I hope you have a great weakend and enjoy all your reads!
I heart them! I’m positive The Bodies We Wear will be good. 🙂
It’s funny what you said about all the tbrs you might never get to read. Usually I save the books in my fave series or books I really want to read until last, then tackle the ones I think I might like less. Now I’m thinking read the ones you want to read the most coz who knows what tomorrow might bring! Cheerful huh!
Exactly. I hate putting off my most anticipated books, but it happens.
I’m such a freak when it comes to ARCs that I always read them like months in advance and then I need to wait to publish my review. But yeah. I’m really hope you’ll manage to read at least 3 more books for the challenge. You’ve got great books and I need to grab PTL even though I have it. But yeah :))
I don’t like reading them so far in advance, it feels weird. I try to wait about one month away, then I can write the review and schedule it. I get anxious when there is more than that. lol
I really loved the Charley’s book, it was a really fun one and I hope you’ll like it as much as I did. Happy reading!
Heh – I’m sure I will! 😀
I remember loving Easy, and I definitely would like to read it again. I hope your son gets better with driving – I guess it just acquires practice. In Finland we have to turn 18 until we can get a drivers license and it’s crazy expensive (like over 2000 dollars). I lived in US when I was 16 and thought I should maybe get a license there since it would have been cheaper to just transfer the info to Finland, but once my boyfriend tried to teach me and I almost drove with his brand new car to the garage wall, he told me he does not think I should consider driving 😀 I kind of knew it all along though – I am way too nervous to drive 😀
Whoa! That’s a lot for a license. I wish I would’ve put him off until he was 18, but I didn’t expect him to be so bad. lol.
Your comment about all the TBR books you wouldn’t get to read made me chuckle. He’ll get there, he just needs time and practice.
I actually got lots read last week and almost all for the ARC challenge so I’m feeling pretty pleased with my progress overall. And, three ARCS read is 3 more than you had, so you go!
Enjoy your three day weekend!
lol – yeah, well, I wish he could get all that practice without me or you know, around other people.
Yup, that is true. I like having a buffer with my ARCs so I have the freedom for non-review book.
You too, Bea!
Hmmmm, do I own Easy? I’ll have to go check on that. And I’m so sorry about your son’s driving. That would be devastating to me b/c who would I rely on to go run my errands???? That was the whole purpose of having said child. 😉
Read Sixth Grave already!!!
I’m surprised you haven’t read Easy already. Dude, I know … he still has his permit so I have to be in the car with him. I can’t even imagine how he’ll be without me in the car.
I will!!
so much to comment on…ok sorry if this is all over the place.
1) I just read see you in hell last night. I really enjoyed it! I hope you like that and…
2) Fall for you. Super cute. I have read through book 5 in that series. Lots of high school fun with jane austen.
3) Your son is going to be a senior in high school in the fall? That must feel good, and scary. College is right around the corner…eep!
4) I have not read easy yet either. I’m off to check out your review. Maybe it will inspire me.
5) I am more than a little hesitant to admit this bc it may or may not make me sound like a loser…but I have been mia from commenting around the blogosphere for the past 1 1/2 weeks or so because I have been out of town and I really missed you and Kimba. lol
So hi! 🙂
lol – I do question your standards if you find yourself missing me. 😀 I that Jane Austen series on your blog, and hey, the first book was free, so why not. Ohhh you definitely need to read Easy, Michelle!
I’m lol’ing at your comment about your son’s driving. But I won’t be laughing when it’s mine! You got a lot of good books! Pushing the Limits is too good to pass up at that price.
Enjoy’
Dude, I can’t believe how badly he sucks at driving. He must get that from his dad, because I’m a kick ass driver. lol
The Enemy looks really good. I love Pushing The Limits and that’s a great series. Come visit me as well.
Grace
I can’t pass up the deals they had for them. 🙂
I’m only reading review books at the moment, and a great variety, from historic, romance, erotic to sci fi . It’s ok though, but it was nice to read some from my ‘really want to read pile’ on my vacation.
Rammstein are legend in Germany 🙂
Have a great week and Happy Reading.
My Sunday Post is here
Hehe – Rammstein should be legend EVERYWHERE.
When I worked for a Romanian family they had their daughter come over to live with them and she wanted me to teach her to drive. So I taught her in my car but the only place I’d let her drive was the mall. She could drive the circle around the mall and practice parking but I wouldn’t let her drive outside that area. It was so nerve wracking! I’m not looking forward to my kids growing up and driving. Yikes!
Looks like you got a lot of good books for almost nothing!
LOL – Well, lets just hope your kids will be better at it. I wish I could just have him drive around the mall parking lot, but he’s supposed to have so many hours of certain things. Shhh… I’m secretly hoping he’ll fail the driving test.
That must have been awful having all those books flash before your eyes. 😉 Hope his driving gets better, and soon. Have a great week Christy!
Jenea @ Books Live Forever’s Sunday Post
lol – It was. Lord, I hope he does too.
haha sorry your son is a bad driver; i would really hate missing all these books too! hope you have a great week.
Lol – thanks for the sympathy. 😀
Yikes about your son’s driving! It’s scary to read about 🙂
Hope you have a great week and get to read more of those TBR books.
Thanks, Yvonne. Believe me, it’s scary to experience.
Oh goodness. Yeah the panic would totally have happened! lol Glad yall are all okay!
Such a weird price 31 cents. I had to grab that one up. lol
lol – I am so done with being his passenger! I know, the price is funny.
The driving gets better I promise you! I’ve got 2 licensed drivers and we’re working on the 3rd. Looks like you got some good books this week. I really want to try the Dakota Cassidy series.
*snort* I don’t know about that. I hope so though. You should totally read that series, it is so much fun!
Oh wow, you got some free ones I didn’t even notice. They really look good.
Got to love freebies! 🙂 The Shadow Prince looks good! Happy reading!
I know I am looking forward to summer but sad to see my daughter finish preschool. I know it is totally different with your son, but still. Yeah, it would be a damn shame if you died before reading all those books on the old TBR>
Pushing The Limits is definitely one of those books that you need to own, lol. The Shadow Prince sounds interesting, too, and I’ve seen it around a lot lately!
I’m currently learning to drive and I don’t think it’s a fun experience for my parents. I’m not the best driver, either. I hope you enjoy all of your books 🙂
OMG…you made me crack up! Bookshelves flashing before your eyes! lol Seriously though…I hope his driving improves…how frightening! Have a great week!
oh yes, Rammstein!
Lol I am sorry to hear about your sons driving, thought mine prob isn’t very much better.
Managed to find the only patch of ice this winter in a parking lot my husband was teaching me, was terrible.
