This was a lovely week of books and book blogging with Book Blogger Awareness Week, which was so nicely put on by My Friend Amy. Unfortunately, I was a bit busier than usual and wasn’t able to participate as much as I would have liked. I did, however, post quite a few reviews this week:
Monday: Blue Genes by Christopher Lukas
Tuesday: Great Peacemakers by Ken Beller and Heather Chase
Wednesday: Midwife of Blue Ridge by Christine Blevins
Friday: Why We Hate Us: American Discontent in the New Millennium by Dick Meyer
Saturday: Down to a Sunless Sea by Mathias B. Freese
I also had an AMAZING experience on Thursday night at an author event for Ariel Sabar. If you haven’t already read my post about that author event, you really should. I got to talk to him, and he remembered my review of his book, “My Father’s Paradise.” It was very cool.
Before I go, here are some pictures of my cat, Ellie, stealing my copy of “The Whiskey Rebels” (look for my review next week, maybe Wednesday):
Well if kitty likes it, I better start reading!
Ellie looks like a well read cat! I love the pictures.
Such adorable photos! If I’m reading in bed while on my stomach, I often end up with a cat lying across the very section I’m trying to read.
You post about meeting the author of My Father’s Paradise is what lead to it being on my wish list. I am looking forward to reading that one day.
Have a great week, Jen!
Happy TSS and isn’t it fun to meet authors who actually appreciate us!
xoxo
That’s a ton of reviews: good for you!
Ellie is so adorable. Love the pics! My dog likes to lay across my stomach with his head on my book when we’re in bed. I don’t think he likes my books as much as I do. lol.
I didn’t get a chance to participate too much either in BBAW, but it was a great way to connect with other book bloggers– especially new ones with whom I was unfamiliar.
Re: your photo of your cat. Our cat does the same thing– and lies across the section you’re trying too usually.
My cat is currently sitting on top of my book lol. I guess someone decided that they needed even more attention!
The Whiskey Rebels must be really good if your kitty covets it!
I don’t have a cat and never have, but there’s just something about cats and books together that I make me happy. Danny’s allergic to them, so I won’t ever have one unless I’m single – and I really don’t want that to happen. 
Maybe in my old age (Danny is 8 years my senior) I’ll become the crazy book lady who has piles of novels all over the house and one kitty to keep guard of them…
Great photos! But I hope the book didn’t put you to sleep, too!
Joy – Ha!
No, actually it kept me up until well after 1 am because, well, 60 pages doesn’t seem like that much when you’ve gone through 440 already, and I wanted to finish.
Awww! Ellie is a pretty kitty! I have two myself. They sure do like to assist in all activities, don’t they?
