Well, I finally have my husband back after a couple of weeks of him traveling. It is nice to have someone to help me double-team Daniel again, because he is an ACTIVE kid. This past week I was often too tired to do too much reading, and was trying to read 3 books at once, so I didn’t actually finish much. And now that my dear husband is home, we’ve jumped back in to season 3 of LOST, so I’m just trying to pick up reading time here and there, wherever I can get it.
Here’s what I actually managed to finish last week. It isn’t as impressive as it looks, since the first two are both audiobooks, one of which I barely had any time left on when the week started.
And here’s what happened on the blog this week:
I told you which of the unsolicited books and books I’ve won I would get to right away if I could Drop Everything and Read and introduced a giveaway for the fascinating-sounding book “Innocent Until Interrogated” by Gary L. Stuart, which was one of my most anticipated books from BEA.
I also reviewed four books this week:
Sort of an eclectic mix of reviews this week, really!

I’m glad your husband is back home, I dislike it so much when my boyfriend’s away from home.
Curious what you thought of the Jennifer Egan book. My wife read The Invisible Circus (title? w/ or w/out the “the”? I don’t remember and am too lazy to look it up right now) and really enjoyed it.
It was good and very interesting, not really a novel,though. More like highly connected stories.
Once those little ones start motoring around, it is a full time job chasing them and keeping them from hurting themselves! I am starting to get way behind on my reading and it is making me nervous. I can really tell when I can’t get enough time with my audio books.
It is hard to parent an active toddler alone. I have great admiration for single parents after doing it a few times myself. I’m sure you’re happy to have your hubby home.
Don’t you wonder how single parents ever get anything done? I loved my kids when they were little but finding time to sit down and read was almost non-existent for a few years–especially if The Big Guy was traveling.
I’m glad you’ve got your “team mate” back. Yep, kids take up a lot of your time. I didn’t get to read and blog like I wanted to because I watched my nephew all last week. He’s 5 goin’ on 42! Active and a constant talker. You still accomplished quite a bit, Jen. Maybe when Daniel gets a little older you can record “audiobooks” in Mommy’s or Daddy’s voice. That would be a cute introduction to the medium for him. Have a great week.
Ecletic or not you have done a fair amount so thats the main thing!
You’ve been reading quite the assortment and that’s very cool. It’s fun to mix genres up and then everything feels new and exciting!
my first 2 kids were 15 months apart…..after the 2nd was born i literally read NOTHING for a year….sleep, what little i could get, was way more important!
I love your blog! I just have to remember to stop over more often. I also love your contests. I will be starting “A Visit With The Goon Squad” very soon!
