Greetings from the Gulf coast! This is the weekend Jen from Devourer of Books and I flew down to meet up with Michelle from my books. my life for a long, girls-only weekend. The weather is absolutely gorgeous and definitely beats the weather back home. We’ve been reading, we’ve sat by the pool, and we’re heading to the beach later today. This is exactly what the doctor ordered!

This week was another crazy week at work. Training, meetings, running around trying to get caught up on work before I left – I’ll admit the schedule is more than I can bear some times. I knew it was going to be a challenge, but it is proving to be more difficult than I feared. That’s not to say I’m enjoying the challenge, but given the amount of hours I’ve had to spend at home working on projects and requests in order to compensate for my lack of ability to get it all done during the work day is getting extremely old.

Did you see that Connor is back? I was finally able to convince him that his audience was waiting for his posts. It isn’t a review, but at least it’s a start in the right direction. I hope you get a chance to welcome him back to the fold; he was sorely missed!

This week I also reviewed Still Missing by Chevy Stevens, The Last Brother by Nathacha Appanah and Gated Grief by Leila Levinson. I also gave my weekly Motivate Me post as well as opted to share my thoughts on a few blogging trends, starting with readathons. I plan to continue this series over the next few weeks and hope you will all share your thoughts about these recent trends.

I’ve been reading up a storm while on vacation, reading such interesting novels as The Gospel of Anarchy by Justin Taylor, Gone by Michael Grant, and Wither by Lauren Destefano. Expect those to be reviewed during the first few weeks in March.

Now, if you will excuse me, the beach and the sun are calling my name! Happy Sunday and happy reading.
