This week was way too busy for my tastes! I have barely picked up a book and it is driving me absolutely nuts! My daughter is one of the drum majors in her school’s marching band and this is competition week. I think my life revolves around band some days. The band competition is actually today so I probably won’t have too much time online.
I did get to watch Outlander on Sunday last week and it made me very, very happy. I cannot wait for another episode this week.
Barking Up the Wrong Tree by Jenn McKinlay (NetGalley)
Love the One You’re With by Lauren Layne (Kindle Purchase)
I requested Barking Up the Wrong Tree the moment I saw it on NetGalley. I was thrilled that my request was approved as quickly as it was and I am really looking forward to reading it. I caught a Lauren Layne novel on sale for $0.99 and bought it since it is a part of a series that I haven’t read yet.
Audiobooks
It's always sad when you can squeeze in some reading time. Especially when you want to! Hope that this next week will allow you some page time!
And nice new reads! Some new to me ones except for First Drop of Crimson! Read that one a few years ago and loved it! But then I pretty much love anything Jeaniene writes!
Happy Reading!
My STS will be up tomorrow, so stop by then if you can!
Have a GREAT day!

I enjoyed First Drop of Crimson when I read it years ago. I am looking forward to an audio re-read.
Nice haul! I really enjoy Jeaniene Frosts books as well! It's been a while since I read any of them, though. I need to change that! Have a great week and happy reading!
I am just starting to re-read this series and it is so much fun the second time around.
I hope you like band because it sounds like you’re going to be seeing a lot of it. 🙂 Enjoy your new books!
Aj @ Read All The Things!
I am so worn out from all of these high school activities! I don't have the energy for it anymore.
i just borrowed ink and spells this week! hope it's as good as people say it is
I hope you enjoy it, Ailyn!
Enjoy the band competition. And I hope you enjoy all these books and audiobooks. They all look great. Have a wonderful week and happy reading. 🙂
Thanks, Geybie!
That first book is so cute
I agree!
Barking Up the Wrong Tree sounds like it will be great. I love when one-night-stands turn into more, and pets! Enjoy!
I loved the first book in the series so I am really looking forward to that one, Sam.
I hope the band competition went well, today, Carole! I told myself I would walk while Mouse has her soccer practice during the week, but instead I plop down and spend the hour reading. I'm not complaining though. I enjoy being able to do that. She's not demanding I watch her every move anymore. LOL
It's been ages since I read a Jeaniene Frost book. I need to get back to her. Maybe even do some re-reading, it's been so long. Barking Up the Wrong Tree sounds cute. I hope you enjoy all of these, Carole! Have a great week!
Sometimes time to read is what you need. Thanks, Wendy!
We both got some great books this week. Seems we end up requesting a lot of the same things. I know what you mean, I get cranky when I don't have time to read. Hope your next week slows down some.
We do seem to want to the same books. It is kind of funny.
I hope your daughter's band competition goes well! I hope you enjoy your books!

The competition went really well!
Oh, let's hope the competition goes well….and that you enjoy your books. Barking up the Wrong Tree looks tempting.
Here are MY WEEKLY UPDATES
Thanks! I am really looking forward to Barking Up the Wrong Tree.
I always get a bit antsy when I can't get to my books, but hopefully things will slow down for you.
I have Barking Up the Wrong Tree, too.
Have a Good Week!
I feel like something is missing if I don't get a chance to read.
My mom would be so jealous to know you get to watch Outlander. It's not available in our country, and even if it was – she doesn't speak English. So she must wait for some TV station to pick the show up! She's now reading the books to make up for it.
Congrats on your new grabs 🙂 enjoy them and have a great week!
The books are great but I am really enjoying the show. It is so well done. Too bad your mom has to wait for it.
My reading has slowed to a complete stop. I'm too tired to function and I can't get motivated to read. I hate this! Might be time for a blog break. My neighbour had two kids in two bands many years back and he was running around crazy with them too!
I want to read but my life is crazy right now. Hey, breaks can be the best thing to do when you are feeling a bit burned out. I have taken them when needed and it helps.
I remember band days! Believe it or not there are times that I miss them – though I also like not spending my Fridays at high school football games. Great books this week. Both the Jenn McKinlay and the Lauren Layne are on my TBR and you can never go wrong with Kleypas! Have a great week!
I might miss some of this band stuff but I don't think I will miss how it takes over our lives. I didn't get many books but I am really excited by the ones I did add.
Then Came You is one of my favorite from Kleypas…although many of her books are like that for me hehe hope you enjoy the audio version though.
I enjoyed that one but don't remember much of it. I bought the audio for a re-read and am looking forward to it.
I get busy. I am not a fan of my new hectic schedule with the kids. Enjoy your new books and have a great week!
I am so over being this busy! Thanks, Grace!
I hope you find at least one book that you like this week.
Thanks, Mary!
Kids' activities can sometimes take over our lives, right? I can definitely relate!

It can be a bit much at times. At least, I am not alone.
Good luck with the competitions. That's how I felt with my son's sports in high school. Hope you get some reading time. Ahhh I need to watch Outlander!
It is kind of crazy what they seem to expect at times. I keep telling myself to enjoy it because it will be over before I know it.
Yes, you do need to watch Outlander!
SOme interesting books for you. happy reading!
Thanks, Melliane!
Oh I remember those days well. Hope this coming week is a little quieter for yall!
I think that I have about another month or so of crazy.
I know those times when it just seems too busy to get any reading done! Hopefully the next week is a whole lot more restful 😀
I keep hoping!
