New in my Reading/Blogging/Personal Life: 

Just when I think I'm not going to have a busy, busy week, I have a busy, busy, and did I mention BUSY week...BUT a break is in site...coming next weekend, I have Monday and Tuesday off, which will be nice! 

As for reading, I was able to get to THE MEMORY TREES and 69 MILLION THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU. THE MEMORY TREES was very good. The writing was lush, the plot was suspenseful, and the characters were lovable. 69 MILLION THINGS I HATE ABOUT YOU was the typical story of revenge turned to romance, and I loved every minute of it! The crazy things the main character thought off ALWAYS had me laughing out loud. And the romance in it? STEAMY STEAMY STEAMY! Currently, I'm in the middle of TWICE AS WICKED. Just as revengeful as 69 MILLION but this time with a historical setting. There's a character that likes to put emphasis on every other word and it's just so horrible yet so funny. 

Anyhow, I'm glad I had a slower week bookwise. I'm very excited to check out SPINDLE FIRE. It was pitched to me as being perfect for fans of ASH - a book I LOVE. Also, if THE WOOD isn't perfect fall reading material, I don't know what is. 

In non bookish news, I did have some time to catch up on some TV this week. Watched the first two episodes of Criminal Minds. I'm so happy to see the Scratch storyline finally put to rest. It's been so drawn out, in my opinion. I'm also excited that Matt has joined from Beyond Borders. I also watched the newest episode of Scandal, and I'm not too sure how I feel about it. I feel like this show's missing all the aspect that made me love it when it started. I also binge watched the newest season of Fuller House while I graded. It's one of my guilty pleasures, and while it's somewhat ridiculous at times (okay all the time) I'm never not laughing.

  3. Maybe I'll have to start watching Criminal Minds again...I stopped when the story meandered on too long.

  5. Spindle Fire sounds like it could be interesting. I really enjoy fairy tale retellings and Sleeping Beauty is always a favorite. Can't wait to see the review! :)

  8. I loved Spell Book and I am not a solid Fowley-Doyle fan . Her stories are so intricately woven and filled with atmosphere.
