This was a really good number of books for me to have finished in two weeks :) Thanks for stopping by!<br /><br />BlueKaren- I try really, really hard to stay away from NetGalley but it doesn't always work so well. I keep telling myself to only go there to submit my reviews but that doesn't work well either. LOL!<br /><br />Suko- The reading time has definitely suffered from working around the house but it has been worth it! My house has never looked better in my opinion :)<br /><br />Yvonne- Good luck with your home improvement projects as well! It isn't easy but you will love the results I am sure. You'll have to let me know if you read Better Homes and Hauntings- and your thoughts on it :)<br /><br />Melody- I will admit that it doesn't feel like I read a lot. I haven't finished a book yet this week for instance (although I'm getting close). <br /><br />Nise- Hysteria was sooo good! I can't wait to read more by this author! I just need to write up my thoughts on this one first :)<br /><br />Laurel-Rain - I am a huge fan of the Sue Grafton series. Kinsey is one of my favorite mystery characters! I'm working my way slowly through these books just so that I have more to look forward to for longer. LOL!<br /><br />Christy- The Harper book was spookier than I expected it to be. Have you read any others by her? I've also read the first book in her vampire series (of which the name escapes me). I'm definitely going to be reading more by her!<br /><br />Pagesandtea- Oh my goodness, but It has me creeped out already!!! I'm reading it at work on my breaks and it is so hard to set it down! I just might have to transport it back and forth from work to home so that I can read it faster :)<br /><br />Lexxie Lin- I loved Hysteria too! The ending was a bit of a disappointment for me but overall I couldn't get enough! I will be reading more by this author for sure!<br /><br />Jan- I need to focus on getting rid of stuff as well. Especially in the basement storage room which is overflowing and needs organized. My next winter project for sure!<br /><br />Wendy- I will be thinking good thoughts for your surgery! Get well fast! And enjoy all of that reading time...that part sounds delightful :)<br /><br />Jenny- Ha! I will make sure to praise your fence building skills if you post pictures :) LOL!<br /><br />Nobody- Thank you! My husband actually helped me with the name...before I changed it it was a generic Sam's Book Blog. I prefer this one much more :)<br /><br />Cyn- I would recommend both of those books that you mentioned. But especially Hysteria as I had a very hard time setting that one down!!!samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4047824216061619284.post-75338679713370924952014-11-13T17:24:46.861-08:002014-11-13T17:24:46.861-08:00Yay home renos, hope that's going well!

There's so much we need to do around our house, but finding the time and energy can be tough.<br /><br />My reading has been so slow going lately. Barring any changes in my planned surgery next week, I will soon have a lot of reading time on my hands. I am looking forward to it. I just hope my mom, who is visiting, will let me read.

Those netgalley books look very tempting. I am trying to abstain from netgalkey and onlybgo on there to post promised reviews. I have about 8 I have yet to review on netgalley, 3 of them are already archived. No pressure though.
