AVR News Update
Hello and Happy Sunday! We are thawing out here in NC after getting a decent snowfall. I guess my taunting and triple dog daring of Mother Nature on Facebook got some results. It sure was pretty to see after being without for so long though we could have done without the freezing rain on top of it. The kids have really enjoyed it and the 3 days off from school. Speaking of which, they will have to make up, but they don't care. Yeah. They don't care...At.The.Moment. LOL
Grandbaby countdown is in earnest as the Dr. has mentioned inducing at 39 weeks which is this coming Friday! We'll see how this week goes. *excited jiggling*
In other news, I am taking a little break and rearranging some things on the blog so I can rest a bit. The 34 books in January and the 17 books so far this month have me feeling a tad burnt out since I have very little queued up ahead of time. I'm hoping to finish all my books for the last week of Feb this week because March is going to be a very busy month. Speaking of March, I plan on doing the Indies of March, so be prepared for 17 days of Indie Authors starting March 15th.

Nothing much. Was too busy this week
I heard North Carolina got some snow and ice. We've still got some very wet snow here in Maryland. It was quite a storm for lots of people. You've had a busy couple of months! I especially like the books you got from the 50 cent cart! Have fun reading!
ReplyDeleteI love checking the 50¢ cart. I never know what will be on it. :) The snow is melting away except where the sun doesn't hit it and I'm sure that will be gone this week since we're supposed to get up to the 60s. Yeesh. Thanks!
DeleteNJ got quite a bit of now. We are so tired of it, since monday I would guess we had about 20 inches of snow and we had an ice storm last. Winter is kicking out butts this year :)
ReplyDeleteI have been rather slow reading the last two months I am hoping the Clean out your e-reader challenge in March kick starts me into reading a lot more. I tend to read more in the summer.
Amazing Haul!
Happy Reading
Michelle
Because reading is better than real life
Mother Nature has definitely got her panties in a twist this year. LOL
DeleteI'm thinking of doing the COYER next year. I have too much going on this year to jump on that wagon now. Good luck! :)
So exciting about the baby!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to your review of Fool Moon. I'm really enjoying The Dresden Files on audio.
Have a great week.
Lauren @The Hottie Harem
It's been 13 yrs since we had a baby in the house. Will be fun since we can send the tike home with their parents when we're tired. lol
DeleteThe kids are really enjoying The Dresden Files. We'll be occupied with that series for awhile yet. :)
Thanks!
Wow, you have got some amazing reading done so far this year. Hope it warms up for y'all over there. We got a couple inches of snow overnight, wasn't in the forecast. Guess they forgot to tell us. lol Enjoy your week.
ReplyDeleteJenea @ Books Live Forever's Sunday Post
I'm really off to a good start and that makes me kinda nervous. lol
DeleteWe're supposed to be in the 60s this coming week. How crazy is that?!
Thanks! :)
deadly housewives looks like a fun read. i've never heard of it before and i'm going to look it up. awesome book haul this week. happy reading :)
ReplyDeletehope you can stop by my StS Post.
-michelle @ Michelle & Leslie's Book Picks
I never heard of it either, but for 50¢ you pretty much can't go wrong. lol Thanks! :)
DeleteYou've got your reading work cut out for you--good luck with your goals!
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday post: http://www.bookclublibrarian.com/2014/02/sundays-weekly-book-recap-54.html
Don't I know it! :D Thanks! :)
DeleteSnow and then freezing rain? Yikes. We caught a little break this week, got a few more inches of snow but not like before. Still cold though. I see you're listening to Dresden on audio, maybe I should try that. I started the first book and got sidetracked, maybe audio would help me get moving on the series.
ReplyDeleteUnderdead with a Vengeance looks fun!
Yep, it was yucky after all the pretty snow, but we're thawing out and supposed to be int he 60s this week. So crazy!
DeleteWe like the audios though I've heard better narrators. Marsters isn't awful though and I have to say he is getting better with each book.
It does! I enjoyed book 1 and I have book 2, so I'll be doing a Two for Tuesday in April with them. I'm looking forward to it. :)
Enjoy your break and I hope all is well with Grandbaby! Glad the kids enjoyed the snow..but come end of school year they will be moaning!!
ReplyDeleteI know I enjoyed today. It was basically a lazy day for me. No rushing to get things done for the coming week. :)
DeleteMe, too. I'm sure I'll be sharing updates on Facebook. :D
We got a ton of snow last week but I'm in New England so that's to be expected. I hope your warming trend continues.
ReplyDeleteYou've been doing a lot of reading, wow. I'll keep my fingers crossed that all goes well with the grandbaby!
Yeah, snow in New England is to be expected. Not so much in NC. LOL We're due to be in the 60s this week. O.O Really? I mean, really?!
DeleteI have and it's making me nervous. I don't want to jinx myself, so I'll just be happy with being so far ahead of my goal this year. *zips lips*
Thanks! :)
Congrats on your upcoming grandbaby! How exciting and special! Please take pics and post them on the blog! I read Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus! It's such an entertaining and insightful read, They even have the board game, and it's a lot of fun to play with other couples! Happy Reading this week!
ReplyDeleteLindy@ A Bookish Escape
Thank you! Oh, you know I will. LOL
DeleteI'm looking forward to reading MafM, WafV. It's been around for quite some time and I've never read it!
Thanks! :)
Granbaby countdown must be so exciting!
ReplyDeleteWhenever I have a few big hauls, I feel the need to cut back a bit too for a while as otherwise it becomes pressure instead of pleasure. Nice haul, lots of romance, very appropriate for the week that's in it! Enjoy :)
It is! Hard to believe she's almsot here! :D
DeleteI've been trying to do too much without having stuff ready ahead of time and it's wearing me down. Time for a little break. Thanks! :)
Yay grandbaby, congrats! Stay warm and safe with the (melting) snow. Great haul this week, I need to check out Victoria Alexander sometime. Happy reading.
ReplyDeleteCyn @ Book Munchies
Thanks! :) We're good here, most of it has melted already. lol Alexander's books are fun to read. I've actually already read that one, but I got it from the library. Now I ahve my own copy. :)
DeleteOh you must be buzzing with excitement for the baby :) I do love your books from the library shop , I always have a look in the library, they do that here in our libraries as well. I'm impressed, 34 books in January!
ReplyDeleteWe are! :D I surprised myself with my January total, but I'm paying for it now. lol
DeleteHoly smokes that is a lot of books to read in one month. I always think I am a great reader and then I read something like that and I am like.. hummm.. maybe I should be reading right now and not blogging. LOL! How fun that your grandbaby is coming. I hope that you will live close to them. I don't live close to family and miss them all the time. I've always been interested in Men are from Mars, Women are fro Venus. I look forward to your review on that book!!
ReplyDeleteI don't always read that many, so don't feel bad. I came out of the gate flying, but I'm settling back down now. :)
DeleteThey'll be living not too far away, so regular visits should be no problem.
Bwahhaha ... yeah, they're happy to be out of school now, just wait till they have to stay in there longer. I'd rather have a longer summer break. Enjoy your books and have a great week.
ReplyDeleteThey're having 3 days added to the end of the school year and that hasn't happened in 4 yrs. lol Thanks! :)
DeleteLOL kids always love it when they get to stay home from school. My son certainly does. It doesn't snow where we live so we never have snow days but I know he'd love it if we did! Enjoy your break and I hope all goes well with the birth of your grandchild. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteSharon
Sharon's Book Nook!
Any excuse to stay home in this boring stretch of the school year is a welcome break. lol Thanks! Be prepared for pics. ;)
DeleteOh I bet you're getting really excited for the new grandbaby! I hope all goes well for mom and baby :)
ReplyDeleteAnd eww - I'm so tired of winter. Can the snow and freezing rain just stop already? I'm in TX and we've finally started to have some pretty weather, thank goodness. Hopefully it's headed your way.
Getting more excited each day. :D Thanks!
DeleteWe've gotten a decent snow so I'm ready for Spring now. lol Crazy that we're going to be in the 60s this week. O.O
Nice haul!! Enjoy your reads!! And I have my fingers crossed for the safe arrival of your Grandbaby!!
ReplyDeleteThanx for visiting My Weekly Wrap-Up!
Naomi @ Nomi’s Paranormal Palace
Thank you! :)
DeleteOh I am so glad we're thawing out here in NC. Still a bit of snow on the lawn but I can actually see grass! Woot! lol Looking forward to this week's review and aws yay for the almost here grandbaby! How exciting!
ReplyDeleteWe still have some where the sun doesn't reach and of course where it was piled up on parking lots and such, but with the nice weather coming this week I anticipate it being gone by Fri. lol
DeleteWe're on pins and needles. :D
Have a great week, it will surely be a happy one with Grandbaby :D
ReplyDeleteThank you and we can't wait! :)
DeleteThe past week has been so foggy it was ridiculous. The snow here is melting but just when I think we'll be rid of all snow and won't ever have to see it again.. IT SNOWS. Mother Nature and I aren't on good terms lately :P :P
ReplyDeleteEeek! I am excited for you! The grandbaby is almost here!! YAY!
Great Haul and have an AMAZING week :)
I'm actually amazed it didn't fog here. The snow is melting though. :) Should we put a hit out on ol' Ma N? She, at the very least, needs a good old-fashioned beat down. LOL
DeleteWe're carrying our phones around for when we get the call. :D
Thanks! :)
I'm so glad it's getting warmer here...finally! So sick of snow and ice. The cover of Grimm Consequences totally confuses me...why would you carry your gun on your butt? Isn't that uncomfortable? LOL, anyway. I hope you enjoy your new reads and that all is well with the grandbaby!!
ReplyDeleteI've never understood how someone can carry a gun in the small of their back. I've never tried it, but it looks uncomfortable, I agree. lol
DeleteI hope so, too and so far so good. :)
Awesome haul, wow great books I hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
