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.
Well here we are in June! We got the massive State Data Call uploaded on Friday. Now I can catch up on legal work. :-)
My reading was good but a bit pushed to get the scheduled reviews up. I only finished two books and almost complete on an audio. I posted five reviews (one with giveaway) and posted the usual memes. :-)
I visited early in the week but then never got back to visit due to my working late, more computer troubles and finally crashing at the end of the week.
Thanks as always to all the nice people who visit me.

Dawn of Destiny (Epic Book 1)
by Lee Stephen

from iRead Book Tours
in prep of reviewing the 2nd book in the series.
Book Description
Publication Date: November 4, 2006
Some men go to war for the glory. Some men go to war to escape. For Scott Remington, war is entirely different. It is a belief. It is a calling. It is a destiny. Leaving everything behind-his fiancée, his future, his life-he embarks on a mission of faith into a battle he can barely understand. This is his story. This is his war. This is only the beginning.

Lost Mission
by Athol Dickson
This is our Ladies Book Club book for June 6. I refused to pay the Kindle price so I had to order more imperfect copies when I got the chance. I hope I can get it read in time.
Product Description
Buried beneath the poverty-stricken barrios and wealthy enclaves of Southern California, a Spanish mission is uncovered during a construction project---along with evidence of a crime. When four people begin work on unraveling the mystery, they each face a moral dilemma. Will their choices perpetuate the very crime that doomed the mission hundreds of years before? 288 pages, softcover from Howard.
June/1/15- I am still up to date on Bible reading and greatly enjoying the readings-- It seems my eyes are open to more details and meaning.. I am reading The One Year Bible again along with my husband and others from our church. I am also listening to the companion commentary online.

Welcome to Mailbox Monday.
I received no review titles this week.
I did purchase one print book for Ladies Book Club and one $.99 Kindle book.
I also received the free Audio download pair from SYNC.
Of course I downloaded more free kindle titles to my library.
(Although I have gotten to a couple, I still have many author requests, old and new ones, to consider and reply to.)
Are your mailbox and TBR piles blooming?
