Updates and June 2013 Book Haul #47


Yay, it feels so good to be in the book-game again :)
My "sickness" pretty much prevented me from doing anything and everything... and that was the first 4 months of my pregnancy with Baby Bee #3! So thankful that my health has returned and that Baby Bee continues to strive too! Our due date is in November, got a long way to go :) And hopefully, crossing fingers, the morning sickness and other bad cooties will stay away 'cause this mama has lots of things to do before he/she arrives...

I've been reading a lot lately - finally! I've read about 14 books in the last 5 weeks, and I hope to start posting my reviews on most of them starting next week! I'm so excited to share my thoughts with you!

Here is my book haul for the last 5 weeks... I've received other books in the prior months, but we're also in the process of moving, and those have been packed away already... and I can't remember what they were, lol! After the move, I hope to do another bookshelf tour since we'll have a built-in bookshelf next to our already packed shelves :) Our new home is very book and scrapbooking friendly, can't wait to get in there, lol!

Thanks for stopping by!
Please be sure to say 'hi' and leave your links too :) xo

    I loved Obsession! It was a great addition to the Lux series; I've yet to read Wait For You, but it's sitting on my Nook. Sadly, I came away from Let The Sly Fall feeling like it was a very average story - hopefully you like it more than I did! :)

    I really want to read Obsession and Wait For You, so I may need to head over to Amazon and get copies of both! And then I'm excited to hear what you think of Going Vintage!

    It's great to see you back, Margie! I've really missed you (although I'm glad I get to keep up with you Facebook now). I'm glad you're feeling better, and I hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly!

    Oh wow, congratulations!!!! :) And fingers crossed the morning sickness goes away soon. Also, 14 books is awesome! June was a pretty stressful and slow month for me but I'm hoping to catch up soon.

    Have a great week and happy reading :) x

    Spies and Prejudice was cute, and Going Vintage was one of my favorite books I read for the first time this year! :) My StS post: http://aliceinreaderland.com/2013/06/30/stacking-the-shelves/
