This weekend is a four day weekend for schools in our state so we are going to visit my oldest son in college! I will have to be driving, though, so I won't get a lot of reading done in the car. Hopefully I will have time to read while I am away. I am in the middle of reading
Scary Out There and am loving it! I am also reading
Shuffle Repeat because it just came in with our latest order at school. Fingers crossed that I come back having finished both!
I will admit that a couple of things have really slowed down my reading this summer.
First of all, Stranger Things on Netflix completely captivated me. I binged on that really hard this week.
Secondly, I am playing Pokemon Go. I adore this game, but my very favorite thing is that my son will ask me to drive him and his friends around to play. When your 18 year old, about to go to college son wants you to go out and play a game with him, you go out and play that game!
Anyway, I am going to focus on some reading this weekend. These are the two books I am currently reading. I am participating in a blog tour for
The Secret Sea in August. I like the alternate reality aspect of this book. I also received
The Gallery in the mail and this cover is so gorgeous I bumped it to the top of my TBR. I love the feel of this book in my hands.
(I am also going to Star Trek this weekend, can't wait!!)
What are you reading this weekend?
This weekend we are driving three hours away to watch our son play in a senior showcase soccer game. It will be a down and back in one day trip and my husband is driving, which means I am going to be reading!

Last week I was so excited to get this pack of Lisa Graff books in the mail. She is a staple here in my library, perfect for middle school readers. I read
Umbrella Summer years ago and enjoyed it greatly. I haven't read any of hers so this weekend, while I am at my sons' soccer tournament (a three hour drive away). So I am taking
A Tangle of Knots and
A Clatter of Jars with me on the trip. And, I already had Lost in the Sun checked out from my library to read over the summer, so I was very excited to get my own copy. I will be reading that this summer as well!
Penguin has graciously offered to let me giveaway a set of Lisa's paperbacks: A Tangle of Knots; Lost in the Sun; and Absolutely Almost. Fill out the form below if you'd like to win your own copies of these awesome books!

I am finishing up SWEET HOME ALASKA. Next week I will be part of the blog tour for that book. So excited for that post (on February 4!)
THE YEAR WE FELL APART has gotten good reviews and I love a good contemporary romance. This is the physical book I am reading right now.
I started THE CRESSWELL PLOT the other day and am not quite sure how I feel about it yet. Castella seems really immature, but then again, she has been raised in the woods by a crazy father.
I am enjoying all three of these books and am looking forward to getting some reading time this weekend. I might have to enforce some SSR on myself!
What are you reading this weekend?
Back in 2012, after Hurricane Sandy, I had a week-long furlough caused by a lack of electricity at my office near Union Square. That’s when I created this crazy idea: Read comics over a period of 26.2 hours, or read 1,572 pages of comics while doing nothing else. With the latest blizzard approaching Mega-City One and residents […]
I have done better this week, finishing
A New Hope: the Princess, the Scoundrel and the Farm Boy and
Slasher Girls and Monster Boys. This weekend my plan is to finish
Monstrous by MarcyKate Connolly.
Hope you have a great weekend of reading!
I have lofty goals for this weekend!
I am currently reading four books that I am enjoying and need to finish (I actually have 7 books on my currently reading list on goodreads. SEVEN!).
We got our first order of the year this week--6 boxes of brand new shiny books. I have taken home more than I need to and I still have a few ARCs I have to get read and reviewed. So, I must finish somethings this weekend so I can move on to more things!
I am closest to being done with Jackaby and actually hope I will get it finished today (I have been taking my lunch time in the back room so I can read while I eat).
George is a new book I started that is small and quick, that shouldn't take too much time.
I am just at the Scoundrel section of The Princess, the Scoundrel and the Farm Boy. I know that this book flies so hopefully I can get that done tomorrow morning before out Saturday soccer games start!
And lastly, I was sent a copy of Doldrums and it's so pretty that I want to get it reviewed soon. Maybe get that one done Sunday night.

We've been writing about it for months now, and can hardly believe it's almost here: the second annual Doctor Who Comics Day is tomorrow!
Every Friday, Alex counts down the top five panels & sequences in comics released this week.
Spoilers follow, obviously.
5) Prez #1
Did you know that, if you live in the San Francisco Bay area, this is a real thing?
4) Harley Quinn and Power Girl #1
Chauvinist alien prude had it coming.
3) Ms. Marvel #16
This is more or less how I imagine a meeting between Abed and Dani Pudi’s character from Captain America; the Winter Soldier.
2) God Hates Astronauts #9
Frankly, I have no idea what’s happening here. I’m fine with that.
1) Wayward #8
I am…*uncomfortable.*
Did I mention I was uncomfortable?

Every Friday, Alex counts down the top five panels & sequences in comics released this week.
This week was fantastic, featuring some really outlandish scenes, comedic throwbacks to classic Batman, and a moment that made me laugh, gasp, and shout in awe. I might have peed myself a little with glee.
Spoilers follow, obviously.
5) Spider-Gwen #5
Spidey senses take on hyper-aware-blind-man-senses and produce a colorful spectrum of bloody awesome
4) Batman #41
Series artist Greg Capullo and writer Scott Snyder are two of the most outspoken critics of the half-page Twix ads running throughout DC books this month:
They’re very proud of themselves.
3) Chrononauts #4
drool…
2) All Star Section Eight #1
AH, I WONDERED WHICH WOULD BREAK FIRST!
1) Saga #29
When I saw this on the bottom right of a page, I knew I was going to have an aneurysm…
and I totally did.
Comics, right?

I already have every issue of STARMAN and THE SHADE (both series) cued up and waiting. Should be an excellent cold weekend to stay indoors, even if we won’t be getting any snow in my corner of the U.S.
