Brrr....Ya'll! Yes, I am from Texas and yes, it is actually COLD here! While trying to stay warm in this unseasonably cold weather, I decided to catch up on some NetGalley reading and reviewing. If you are not a part of the NetGalley network and do not know what I am talking about- do read on. If you already know & love NetGalley, then you know what I am talking about when I say that it is a great opportunity for readers to get free copies of great books, all while helping the authors and publishers. All in all, it is a Win, Win!
Visit NetGalley for more information.
I am also trying to stay ahead of the game with my 2014 Reading Challenge on Goodreads. As of this morning, I am 2 books behind schedule. I set my reading goal a little higher this year, with a goal of 60 total books read. I'm not one to come short of my goal, so this prompted me to choose a few books to read this past week that would be easy to get into and that would grab my attention to the point where I would not put them down. I chose The Silence of Six by E.C. Meyers and the first two e-novellas in The Whispers series by Lisa Unger. I am happy to report that these were GREAT choices! I devoured these 3 books and was eager to review. If you do get books from this site, please read them and review them. I know it is easy to get into the trap where you select as many Read Nows as you can click on and then never get around to ever downloading them. Do it- you will be glad you did!
Here in Texas, we are bracing for a colder than normal winter. Temps are around 30 degrees cooler now, than they typically are in November. I am excited to say, that this means even more reading time for me! There is nothing like plugging in my electric throw blanket and curling up in the corner of the sectional couch with my Nook in hand. Don't forget the occasional cup of coffee or sugar-free hot cocoa. Ahh...life is good.
