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 @ Caffeinated Book Reviewer. It’s a chance to share news, post a recap of the past week, showcase books and things we have received and share news about what is coming up for the week on our blog.
On the Blog & Real Life:
Ummm…Where did May go? I am not sure if it’s because I am getting older or the world is just going to fast, I could have sworn May just started. This week was crazy, I didn’t get a thing done because I have been so busy. Not sure what made this week more crazy than normal but all week I felt like we had something to do. My husbands birthday was on Wednesday but we didn’t get to celebrate like we wanted, Julia had a game that day and we went to the diner so by the time we got home it was really late and then…he fell asleep…So Happy Birthday Scot, we let you sleep! 🙂 Thursday the kids and I left for the shore house at night. I was barely home the last two days and once we were packed we left about 9pm to avoid the mad traffic on Friday. Memorial Weekend is always the weekend we celebrate mine and my husbands birthdays. Scots is the 25th and Mine is the 28th. We are down at the Jersey Shore this weekend… my happy place. I am looking forward to spending the summer here on the weekends, I really do get a lot more reading done and as a family we always have a blast. Today we are having a small party at the shore house, looking forward to it since it’s always fun to spend time with the family.
I was planning to do my BEA Part 2 this week but I couldn’t figure out how I wanted to write it but I think I am just going to make a simple post and spotlight a few books I got and tell you why I picked them up. It’s just so hard to write a post when I have so many awesome books I want to share with you. I will figure it out so look for it at some point this week.
Don’t forget you still have plenty of time to sign up for COYER

Picture of the week:
So tell me what have you been reading and up to this week?
Hope you all have a fantastic week!!!
Happy Reading
I’m glad you got a chance to get away to the shore, Michelle. That was a birthday gift in itself, right? I know what you mean about May being over. It seems the acme way to me – with BEA, Sky’s graduation and then her birthday, not to mention having had a houseful of family. ..well the month zoomed by. We’ll get it together at some point, right? 😉 Hope you’re having an amazing week!
Happy birthday Michelle! May flew by really fast but I’m glad Summer is here now. No more homework lol!! I hope you have a fun weekend and have a great week!
YAY for spending time at the shore house, Michelle! I can’t wait to leave Geneva behind and spend the summer in Spain 🙂 It’s so nice to have a change of scenery!
I think getting to sleep when tired is the perfect birthday present 🙂
Have a wonderful week and happy reading, my dear! Miss your face!! *hugs*
I would love to spend the summer in Spain but for now I will enjoy the shore 🙂
It really feels like a mini vacation just being out of the house for a bit.
I loved it, I was just so tired think it all just snuck up on me.
I miss your face too!!!
Happy birthday to you! Your weekend sounds wonderful. I can’t believe it’s almost June. This year has flown by. Have a great week!
Thank you!!! 🙂
Happy birthday! I’m sure it is a mad dash everywhere this weekend. We stayed in for the most part. I hope you guys enjoy the Jersey Shore!
Thank you! We left early so avoid the dash but coming home took a little longer. It was a nice weekend!
Happy Birthday!! Have a great time at your happy place!!
Thank you!
Happy birthday! I know how you feel about having a busy week. My break from school ended, so I’m back to attending class. With that, comes 3 textbooks for a 5 week class. Oh, the joys of online college. Haha. I’m right along with you, I cannot believe it’s the end of May! I could have sworn it was the end of March…
Thank you! With school ending it’s about to get even crazier around here but I am looking forward to it. I am blown away that may is over. This year is going way to fast.
I need someone to change my passwords on amazon, netgalley and edelweiss at least for a month….lol. I so bad. 🙂
I so want to go to the Jersey Shore! 🙂 Have extra fun for me!
Enjoy your books,
Stormi
I will change it for you and you know me no matter how hard you beg I wont give it to you. *evil laugh*
You have to come visit one summer. You would love it!
It sounds like we both had a busy week. My week felt kinda the same as you, looking back I am not even sure what I did, but it was a busy one, lots of tour work and small things. Happy birthday to you and your husband I hope you had a great day! I hope you’re enjoying your time at the shore house, maybe because you’re not at home and it feels a bit like vacation that you get more reading done?
I am looking forward to your second BEA recap post it looks like you got so many good books! And it sure is nice to not get any books in a week for a change. I did well last week, but I got three new ones this week, but I am already reading two of them. I hope you’ll have a great week!
Thank you, Lola! It really is like a mini vacation, just being out of the house for a bit.
I am going to work on the BEA Book post this week. I really want to showcase all the books but I might have to limit it to my favorites.
Happy Birthday Michelle! Hope you had a great day 😀 Glad to hear you’re enjoying Stalking Jack the Ripper. I hadn’t heard of this one until several of you got back from BEA, but it looks fantastic! And I cannot wait to read it 😀 Have a great week!
Thank you! It was a very good book! I really loved it! I would highly recommend!
I am so glad you’re enjoying Stalking Jack the Ripper. I want to read this one so bad 🙂 I’m signing up for COYER, I really need to start getting trough my ebooks. Have a great week. Happy Reading.
Welcome to COYER 🙂 It is a great challenge.
Stalking Jack is fantastic, I am really loving the story and the characters.
Happy Birthday, Michelle! I’m looking forward to your BEA books post.I want to hear about them all even if it’s only a few lines like “It was a must have!” lol
Glad it’s shore time. I’m a little jelly. I love the beach. Must be the Pisces in me. 😀
I’m also wondering where May went. Hell, I’m wondering where 2016 is going! Time really does fly the older you get. It sucks. lol
Have a wonderful week! xoxo
Thank you! :0
I really want to do that lol. I want to spotlight them all.
I am not a beach girl but I do love it down here, we are very close to the town pool so I enjoy going there.
We need to slow down or I might have to start my christmas countdown soon. 😉
Happy birthday and yay for the shore house. 🙂 It does feel like summer is finally starting… can’t believe it’s Memorial weekend already. Bring on the grilling lol.
Hope you guys have a super weekend!
Thank you! I can’t wait for the grilling to start. It’s my favorite part of summer!!! 🙂
