What Are You Reading, is where we gather to share what we have read this past week and what we plan to read this week. It is a great way to network with other bloggers, see some wonderful blogs, and put new titles on your reading list.
I'm not quite sure why I was short on reading this week only completing two. I do have three in progress though. And I did get five reviews posted with two Giveaways. I also posted my regular Friday Pick Giveaway, Saturday Sharing Beyond Books and the Sunday post.

Then a time quake hurls them to a nasty somewhere and some when...
