Week in READ-view is a post I have posted on Sundays telling you what I have been up to this week and what I read or am reading. The Sunday Post is a meme sponsored by the awesome Kimba at the Caffeinated Book Reviewer. Itβs a chance to share news. A post to recap the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
Real Life & Blog News:
So finally after about two week I am feeling much better, I still have a sore throat but I figure with a little Tea and Honey that will be good as new in no time but otherwise, I am back and ready to be as productive as possible.
This little sick break gave me a lot of time to think, I realized that now with no author spotlights I have nothing to really fill my weeks on the blog, not that I want to fill them every day but I need a reason for people to come visit. So this last week I did a lot of writing notes, so many notes that I have some great ideas and some original content coming in the next couple of weeks. With the Blizzard that never was in NJ I got the day off and it helped me out a lot with setting up posts and just getting my stuff organized to a point that if I can keep this up I will have original content, memes, reviews and challenge updates filling up my months in no time plus a blog tour and a blitz here or there. I have already scheduled a bunch of posts for Feb and now moving into setting stuff up for March. I am really excited with the direction my blog is going and I think this minor change will be a really good thing. My favorites so far are the App Reviews but I can’t wait for you all to see some of the posts.
It’s going to snow again and with last weeks BUST of a Blizzard we still got a good 10″ of snow, nothing like our friends up North (Boston area) but this storm coming looks like it will hit us with a good 6 to 12 more inches of snow than a mix of mushy shit, Yay! *rolls eyes* I might be looking at another day off on Monday then it is suppose to get VERY cold the next couple of days. As much as I love the cold weather and snow, I can not take this Bitter cold, I think I am ready for Spring already π

Hope you all have a fantastic week!!!
Happy Reading
I’m glad you’re feeling better! And that sore throat better leave you alone soon!
I’m quite excited to see these new post ideas! π
Glad you’re feeling better, and I hope your throat heals up soon. And I envy you the snow, a little. We don’t seem to get anything but rain down here. Here’s hoping you get another day off.
It’s good to hear you are feeling yourself again. Now to wish the next storm misses you too:) I don’t envy you that cold blast either. I see you got Three Two One. I’m featuring it tomorrow and it should heat things up for all of us. LOL Stay warm and safe.
Thank you Laura! It just started snowing a few minutes ago and I think it’s going to be a mushy mess.
I have it schedule for thursday the blitz π I hope to read it soon
We got snow this week too. Top Ten looks like a great book. Hopefully you enjoy it.
I have been wanting to read it for a while, just worried I might not have time to make it next π
I have Get Even on my TBR list so I will be looking forward to your thoughts on that one! We are in the midst of a winter storm right now with the possibility of 15 inches. Fun times! I’ve shoveled twice and really need to go out again but don’t want to. LOL! I wish that I could get scheduled at least a week ahead but I never have the motivation to get all of those posts written. Have a great week!!!
I really liked Get Even and it had a huge cliff hanger so I can’t wait to read Get Dirty, I have a few books to read before I get to it but I might not be able to wait.
You should try Bloggiesta, I always kicks me into a productive mood. I think the next one is in march. I finally am a month ahead I need to keep it that way.
So glad you’re feeling better! I tagged you in my 20 Questions posts, so you could answer them and have another post. Just sayin’. hehehe I’ll wing some {{{posivibes}}} your way for not too much snow. I look forward to your new posts. I’m always thinking I need some new stuff, but then I just keep going with what’s working for me. Like Monster Porn Monday *snort* Maybe some day. π
I keep missing your Monster Porn, I need to go back and catch up on the ones I missed they always crack me up!
I didn’t see that I have to go look or if I did I was too loopy to remember lol
Thank you for the vibes but regardless I think it’s going to be a bunch of mushy shit! π
Thanks for stopping by Carol! ox
My boss was sick and I pretty much wanted to spray him with Lysol because I did not want to get sick again! The cold temps are KILLING me it’s just so cold today and this week isn’t going to be any better. Hope you are staying warm in your area!
Thanks for stopping by Bea! ox
We got the snow, blergh, and more coming. We’re also supposed to get the cold temps. I’m ready for spring! Well, at least you’re starting to feel better and I can’t wait to see your new posts and ideas.
Love your blog! Can\’t wait to see your TBR! I am glad you are finally starting to feel better! Check out my Sunday Post!
Thank you Elizabeth! If you are interested in joining the TBR Meme the details are on a page under the header. It’s a lot of fun and I have to say it really helps!
Thanks for stopping by π
hope you feel better soon and are safe during the coming storm
Thanks Kai! We plan to stay home and watch the superbowl all snuggly on the couch π
Thanks for stopping by!
Glad to hear you’re feeling better. I had the cold that wouldn’t die this summer and hated it. It just takes so long to feel better because you need to rest to feel better but of course you can’t take the time to rest! Glad you didn’t get the blizzard though 10 inches of snow still sounds pretty intense! We only have 1 salt truck and snow plow for the county so when we get even a couple of inches the entire town shuts down! Have a great week!
Our area of town is like the section the town forgot. They never plow or salt our street and if they do come this way it’s like they don’t even try lol. My driveway can fit 9 big vans in it so it’s a pain in the neck to shovel. My dads business use to be in the back but since he retired the girl downstairs and us have to shovel this big ass driveway lol. So 10 inches was a lot!
Thanks for stopping by Katherine!! ox
I am glad to hear you’re feeling better, hope you get rid of that sore throat soon as well.
Looking forward to all those posts you are planning. I did some nice blogging this weekend as well and got 3 new Lola’s Ramblings posts scheduled. I like those blog tours and book blitzes to fill up open slots.
I like seeing snow, but I hate having to travel with snow. We got one day of snow this week, but it’s gone already again.
Nice haul! I really want to get Three Two One as well, but I haven’t grabbed my copy yet.
When I originally got sick I didn’t have a sore throat and then once it was gone the sore throat appeared lol. It’s weird
I always enjoyed blog tours and blitzes not sure why I stopped but I figured a few a month isn’t that bad and it’s nice to help promote π
I HATE driving in snow and ice, I have my fingers crossed it doesn’t do what they say
Thanks for stopping by Lola! oxox
I am glad you are feeling better. π We got some snow here in the UK and we came to a standstill we aren’t good with weather LOL. Happy Reading!
Thank you! Lol we didn’t get as much as we were suppose to but the entire tri-state area had a panic attack and shut down. It was a waste!
Thanks for stopping by Megan!
I’m glad you’re feeling better π Having days off is always a good thing when you want to get stuff done on your blog, or having some time to just about ideas. Have a great week !
It really helped clear my head, it’s just so nice for once to be so ahead, it feel weird lol π
Thanks for stopping by Red Iza!
I’m glad you’re feeling much better, Michelle! And I can’t wait to see the new ideas you’ve come up with for the blog π You inspire me, and made me take the leap for an original feature on my own blog as well π
YAY you read 321… I hope you enjoyed it! I can’t wait to read your review.
Have a fantastic Sunday and happy reading.
Original posts are hard for me since I am not a good writer and I lack real confidence in what I do so I am nervous but excited.
I just got 321 so I haven’t read it yet but I totally blame you and brandee for making me get it π your reviews had me thinking I need to read them!
Thanks for stopping by Lexxie! oxox
Glad you’re feeling better! The Snow was supposed to be bad over here as well after it had left the states, but we only got a sprinkling!
I see you were convinced into buying Three Two One as well!
Yes I was convinced lol I am doing a blitz for it also so I figured why not. I like Erotica but it has to be done right and I hear a lot about her so I figured I would try it out.
I have my fingers crossed this storm this week is a bust too but I guess we will see π
Thanks for stopping by Laura! oxox
Some of the pics I have seen of the blizzard are a trip, hope you guys don’t get hit too hard this week. Your new stuff sound good, looking forward to that- and you got Get Dirty! Jealous… can’t wait to see what you think of. Enjoy!
It just missed up but we did get a good 8 inches and it was a pain to shovel π
I swear when I saw it on Edelweiss you were the first person I thought of lol. I screamed I was so excited. Like you I really enjoyed the book and I can’t wait to see what happens to the girls, this one looks so good!
Thanks for stopping by Greg!
Hope you are feeling 100% soon. We are getting 7-9 tonight and have about 8 now. I cannot complain with what some areas have gotten. It is wonderful to be scheduled ahead, and excited about all of your ideas. Have an awesome week π
Thanks Kim! OMG I know Poor Boston really got slammed last week! I think I am just tired of it begin so unclear. Like we might get 6-12 then it changed to 4-8 and then it’s squishy snow.
It really is a nice feeling being ahead just can’t let it get to my head and need to keep up otherwise I will be behind again lol
Thanks for stopping by Kim! ox
