Sunday Salon - September 13th

A busy week - we had cub scouts one night, DH had his contractor's meeting Thursday night and then we both took the day off on Friday to clean the house for a get-together with three other couples and their children that night. The party was a success and my house is clean so that meant a relaxing Saturday! I spent more time on the porch reading with the nice northeast wind blowing and my youngest keeping me company playing on the porch.

I read quite a bit this week. Here's what I finished:

• Night of Flames by Donald W. Jacobson for a blog tour on Monday
• Winter of the Ice Wizard by Mary Pope Osborne (audio - part of the Magic Treehouse series that DS#1 and I are listening to in the car)
• Relentless by Dean Koontz (library)
  
• Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher (library)
• The Jaguar's Jewels by Ron Roy (audio - part of The A to Z Mystery series)
• Century: Ring of Fire by P.D. Baccalario (for review)
• Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead (booksfree)
  

I've started using a calendar to keep track of books received and when I need to review them by. That seems to work better than my pile system before.

I'm currently reading:

• The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins (library)
  
• Beyond the Highland Mist by Karen Marie Moning (audio)
• A Change in Altitude by Anita Shreve (review)

That's pretty much it for this week. I've posted some reviews and some giveaways and participated as much as my schedule allowed in BBAW, which was fun but I didn't have as much time as I wanted to be a part of it. I'll probably catch up on all the posts this week coming up.
