AVR News Update
Hello my lovely friends! I hope everyone is well and reading like crazy. Me, not so much. The reading part, that is. I'm actually quite well, but the wheels sorta fell of my schedule. I've read very little this week. It's been a weird week and I didn't even get a chance to post my Friday Featured Spotlight which I have rescheduled for this upcoming week. I hope to pick up the pace in the days ahead with reading, some reorganizing of blog-related things and basically some other shit that needs to be done.

 Soon, I will be adding that Linky thing to my Time Turner Tuesdays in case anyone wants to join me in reading books that are at least a decade old. I will also be starting a Saturday Shorts where I review books that are 100 pages or less. These posts will most likely have 2-3 reviews in the hopes it will help me get through my review queue a bit quicker. I'm still tweaking my Excel review sheets, only because I decided to add page numbers to help with my Saturday Shorts Feature. I guess I love creating more work for myself. LOL These are a few of the blog-related things I'll be working on for the month of September.

 So, I'm still taking a break and will most likely continue this mini vacation for another week or possibly two depending on how well this coming week works out.

 This is AVR News Update signing off. May all your books enthrall you.

      I miss posting, but it makes sense to get my ducks in a row before going full steam ahead again. :)

      It actually looks like it might be humorous. I'll find out though. lol

    CRY WOLF!!!! I <3 that book and series. :)

    I bought my first Allison Brennan book yesterday at my church's used book sale. Hmm, I think I forgot to put it in my Sunday Post. Oh well.

    You do love your spreadsheets, don't you? LOL Enjoy your mini-break, we all need them now and again.

      I love Mercy Thompson, so I really need to read the spin off series.

      I never used to love spreadsheets, but I'm not the most organized person, so they've helped. It's just getting them the way I need them that's the pain. lol

      Hi Mags! *waves with exuberance* I'm doing a Friday Featured Spotlight with Entangled that will have those two and 'Her Wicked Sin' that I got from NetGalley. If all goes well this week I'll have it up 9/20.

      I have yet to read any by J.D. Robb. I'm slowly collecting them though. :)

      The Butcher of Beverly Hills looks like it might be humorous. I'll see soon. lol

    How gorgeous a cover is Essenced?!! I must add that to wishlist and hope it turns up free on Smashwords at some point!

    Sounds like some interesting changes on your blog. I have a lot of short stories and novellas that I need to get on with. Too many books, too much time messing about with the computer!

      It is! It has all the colors I love.

      I'm hoping the Saturday Shorts helps with the queue, but I have no idea how many pages each of my review books has, so I have to look them up and add the # to my spreadsheet. It takes a lot of time and patience, two things I don't have a lot of. lol I also need to start limiting my social network time. I'm getting better at it though.

    I love the cover of Tempting Bella, and I love to do organization things behind the scenes of my blog. I am looking forward to your Sat Shorts. I do Coffee Pot Reviews, but started them to fit reviews in..LOL

      The organization is getting there. It's just going back and adding the page count to each book. I wish I had thought of that before. lol

      I hope by adding a day with a couple reviews I can get through my queue faster and if the books are shorts that makes it more feasible for me to do. I'm hoping to start that in the 1st part of October.

    New follower! Can you believe I've never actually read any JD Robb or Nora Roberts! I know! I should be disqualified from the reading club! Happy reading!

      Then I should be kicked out, too. I've been collecting them, but haven't actually read any yet. lol

      It seems my wheels fall off more than most. :D Hopefully, this reorganization will mean less of that. Well, as long as Real Life doesn't muck up Reading Life. ;)

    Enjoy the time off. Doing a linky for Time Turner Tuesday sounds good- it's nice to see reviews of older books sometimes. Have a good week.

      It seems everyone is always reviewing the bright new shiny books and there's nothing wrong with that. I do it, too! However, I like going back and giving some additional love to older books. :)

    The JD Robb books do look good. Nice set of books this week.
