Last week I asked:
My fiance reads mainly adult sci-fi and fantasy. Would you be interested in reading reviews by him?
36% said: Sure, why not?
11% said: No way.
51% said: You have a fiance who reads! Of course I want to read his reviews!
So I will be coming up with some sort of name for his review times and he's working feverishly on a few different reviews. :) He's excited. Look for that new feature in a few weeks.
Updates:
- I am working on a huge awards post.. it's huge. I'm not joking. It's been 6 weeks and I keep getting nominated more! Gah! I really need to include it in this meme I think.
- Things are getting stressful. I feel a bit overwhelmed with the wedding stuff. Hopefully I can read a few books.. maybe.
- Check out my ongoing contests by looking right below my banner. :)
I just got Prophecy of the Sisters and am looking forward to Anastasia.
ReplyDeleteWill look forward to your fiancee reviews. How fun!
I'm reading Prophecy of the Sisters too, and my copy of Shiver should appear any day now!
ReplyDeleteI hope to get hold of a copy of Shiver soon! Love ya, Maggie!
ReplyDeletei'm not much in to scifi but fantasy...i'll read his reviews...we need some male input around here...the blog i mean, i already get lots around this house. giggle
ReplyDeleteI have I, Coriander in my TBR pile. It looks pretty good. I really want to read Shiver and Anatasia's Secret! I loved Prophecy of the Sisters(:
ReplyDeleteALmost every book you listed is in my TBR pile, so I probably should assume I will like the others and add those to my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteMine is here: http://rundpinne.blogspot.com/2009/09/what-are-you-reading-monday_28.html
I know what you mean by only reading one book last week. Me too! You list looks great though, I am looking forward to your reviews.
ReplyDeleteYes, for some reason, I only finished one book last week too! Other things seem to crowd in on my reading time.
ReplyDeleteI finished "It's Not Your Mother's Bridge Club," and the review is posted on my Rainy Days and Mondays blog at http://laurel-rain-snow.blogspot.com/
Today, I blogged about the book I'm in the midst of now...Jacquelyn Mitchard's "No Time to Wave Goodbye," which follows the Cappadora family(from "The Deep End of the Ocean")once the children are grown.
I loved both Shiver and Prophecy of the Sisters. Have a great reading week!
ReplyDeleteWow. You have great books planned
ReplyDeleteHope you like Shiver, I'm waiting to read that one too
Have a great week
Here's my post
I've heard Shiver is really good. I loved Cleopatra's Daughter. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteI've found that if I include my awards on the Monday post it keeps me from getting behind.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some great books this week. Happy reading.
I just finished A Sweet Disorder, which I'm about to go review on my blog. Last night I tried to start something like 3 different books and all of them were a 'Failed to Finish'. I was so disappointed! But then I started Torched and it's not too bad. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of interesting reads. I haven't read any of them though.
ReplyDeleteMy Stuff
I'd love to read Shiver. Have been reading a lot of reviews about it lately. Will look out for your review and see how good it is before I get myself a copy. :)
ReplyDeleteI like your upcoming books!
ReplyDeleteWhat book will review your fiance? I'm so curious =)
Girl you need to finish those 3 books so they are in the september giveaway
ReplyDeleteShiver by Maggie Stiefvater
Anastasia's Secret by Susanne Dunlap
Prophecy of the Sisters by Michelle Zink
haha! I am dying to read them!
Even with your stressful life you manage to read more then me, so don't feel bad!
I hope everything is well for your mariage. which day is it exactly?
I ordered Shiver and it just came today so will be reading it soon. Also can't wait to read your fiance's reviews.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Anastasia's Secret also! And I think it's great that your fiance is going to do some reviews -- my hubby would never do that, not in a million years -- but then he reads the same books over and over so the reviews would be very limited :-)
ReplyDeleteShiver was a fun read! I can't wait to get a copy of Anastasia's Secret.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your wedding will be wonderful! Hope you're not stressing too much.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to reading some reviews from your fiance :)
You are currently reading some great books! I loved Cleopatra's Daughter, it was a really good read.
ReplyDeleteMy What Are You Reading Monday's Post.
Cleopatra's Daughter is a very good read.
ReplyDeleteI am still waiting for my copy of Maggie Stiefvater's book to arrive...it's taking forever!
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to pick up I, Coriander from the bottom of the tbr pile to the top! Also, come stop by my blog, I have an award for you http://strange-and-random-happenstance.blogspot.com/
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me that you're able to read and blog with a wedding coming up. I hope you aren't stressing yourself too much though.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you are currently reading some great books. I can't wait for your reviews!
ReplyDeleteThose are some pretty good current reads.
ReplyDeletestill haven't read Shiver yet, need to get on that. can't wait to see your thoughts about it. i read give up the ghost and it was a cute read, hope you like it.
ReplyDeletei'm currently reading lament by maggie s. and dreams of the dead by thomas randall.
Hang in there, K! Some of us are just lazy to get wed: mine involved a dance-off between internet ministers, a rocky outcropping in Malibu, and burgers after. We wore jeans. But I'm sure our moms were a bit miffed at being left out, although mine won't let on.
