I'm participating in The Sunday Post, hosted by The Caffeinated Book Reviewer; Showcase Sunday hosted by Books, Biscuits and Tea; Stacking the Shelves, hosted by Tynga's Reviews; Bought Borrowed and Bagged, hosted by TalkSupe; and Library Loot co-hosted by The Captive Reader and Silly Little Mischief. All of these memes are about sharing the print

It was a quiet week but even so I'm ready for the three day weekend. Lots of reading, writing, and editing, dinner with a friend, and just hanging in the sun. What are you up to?

Did you add any books to your shelves or e-readers last week? Leave a link to your Sunday Post so I can visit you during the week.
You have some delightful looking books! I have The Collector...I should move it up on the list....
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog, and enjoy the holiday.
I hope you enjoy your holiday!
DeleteFlip looks sooo good! And Ten Busy Brownies looks adorable. ;) Is it a picture book? Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMy StS!
Ten Busy Brownies is a picture book and my review is scheduled for this Saturday. It's cute.
DeleteEnjoy a really nice weekend, Bea! The Flip looks awesome, I hope you enjoy all your reads, my dear! :)))
ReplyDeleteThanks Kara!
DeleteNice haul this week! I still haven't read any Nora Roberts. Not on purpose, I just haven't ended up with any of her books in my possession. Hope you have a great week!

The flip looks rather interesting. I need to go look that one up :)
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to a nice relaxing and enjoying a BBQ with Family and Friends.
Enjoy all your new reads Bea and Have a great weekend!!!
Great haul, Bea! The Collector is on my wish list. Enjoy the long holiday weekend.
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday/Monday post: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2014/05/weekly-book-recap-68.html
Interesting grabs! Hope they'll make for happy reading :)
ReplyDeleteMy weekend sounds a lot like yours, minus the editing. The Collector came off my TBR stack to read this week too. Come see what I got at Ms. Martin Teaches Media and Inside of a Dog. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI love the creepy cover to The Flip! Just on that alone I'm checking it out (I'm so superficial!)
ReplyDeleteBTW - I didn't know it was Asthma / Allergy Awareness month but that totally makes sense! How are you doing these days????
OH! And I see you have Wegivebooks.org on your site - best darn site ever!!!! I use it with my son all the time!!!!!!!!! How cool is the Pearson Foundation????
Have a great weekend, girlie!
Happy Memorial day, enjoy the long weekend. Looks like you have a pretty good weekend planned (like the hanging out in the sun part- hoping to do a little of that myself).
ReplyDeleteMurder is academic sounds fun too.
I am loving the weekend so far, it has been nice and peaceful at my house. The kids will start bickering probably this week, that's about how long they like each other and then start irritating the other one. lol... Enjoy your weekend and the new books.
ReplyDeleteA lot of new books. This weekend has been very nice. You got a lot of diverse books this week. They look interesting.

Books of Love
I'm trying to play catch up while my internet is working but I soon plan to follow you with some reading and relaxing for the weekend. Looks like you scored some great books this past week. I am on the wait list for The Collector (ebook) from the library. I think there are five people ahead of me now. :) Have a great week and happy reading!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your 3-day weekend -- and your new books! I'm slightly envious that you got The Collector from the library. I'm number 145 in line for 28 copies. Yeah, I think it will be a while! ;-) Memento Mori looks interesting, too.
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of talk about BEA armchair going on the blogosphere nowadays and every time I read about that, I picture you reading comfortably in a cozy old armchair with a cat on your knees, is that crazy ? Anyway, have a great week ;)
ReplyDeleteI haven't read a Nora Roberts book in a long time and I always loved her books. I did add The Collector and Whiskey Beach to my wishlist recently though.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and a great Memorial Day weekend.
What is The Flip? Curious title and lovely cover art
ReplyDeleteWoohoo for a quiet week! They are the best. :D Hope you enjoy the 3-day weekend.
ReplyDeleteI got the Collector on release day. Have a read it? Negative. LOL Enjoy your quiet weekend and dinner with friends Bea!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your long weekend. We will have one in June, looking forward to it myself!
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting My Weekly Wrap-Up!
Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
Safe and sound sounds great, and hope that you enjoy.
ReplyDeleteThat is a nice selection of books. wishing you a great book week
ReplyDeleteI have The Collector on hold at the library but it will probably be awhile before it gets here. Can't wait to read it and look forward to reading your thoughts! Great books this week - especially like the look of Long Time Home and The Flip. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThe Flip sounds interesting, also kind of like the cover.
ReplyDeleteWe also had a 3-day weekend here in the UK, but it was over before it even started, and I didn't pre-schedule any posts as I planned I would arrrgh Have a great week and Happy Reading.
My Sunday Post is here
The Collector looks like a good read and I haven't read Coulter I in years.
ReplyDeleteThe Flip looks interesting! I'll have to run and check that one out. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWow - that's quite a great hall. Flip looks interesting, I may have to check it out! Have a great week Bea - so glad you're joining us on COYER Summer Vacation btw ;)
