It's Monday! What are you Reading? August 30, 2010
This meme starts at One Person's Journey Through A World of Books!
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 finished four more good books this week.:0)
I posted two interviews, three reviews, and three book giveaways.
I didn't get any older reviews done this week as it was a VERY busy work week with end of month closings and preparing for vacation this week. I hope to have internet as we visit our son in Monterey, CA, my step-son (DH's oldest child) in San Francisco and my brother in Sonoma. I will post the planned interview with Sandy James with review with giveaway of Murphy's Law before I go and,
as long as DH does not object (which he might), I should be able to post a couple of other reviews and giveaways later in the week.
My visiting plan last week did not get implemented so I will try it after I return from vacation.
These were last week's posts plus several Winner posts not listed.
Small HQ book #1 for survey. I liked this sweet and quick category romance.
PB: Seduced by a Highlander
by Paula Quinn. The author interview, review and giveaway posts are linked above.
Kiindle: ---------
Audio Book: The Island: A Novel
by Elin Hilderbrand. I will post the review and Hachette giveaway this week.
Audible: With all the excitement about Mockingjay
I decided to check out this series. I remembered that I 
had downloaded The Hunger Games
from Audible a few weeks ago. I finished it in two days and was SO glad that I had two credits at Audible so I could download Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games)
and Mockingjay (The Final Book of The Hunger Games).
This was awesome and I will post a review later this week.
Currently reading:
PB: Tropical Kiss
by Jan Coffey. I decided to read this from the summer books before I give them away. I will finish this tomorrow so I can mail it to the Chat post winner. This is a sweet YA that reminds me a bit of The Moonspinners.
PB: One Fine Cowboy
by Joanne Kennedy. Reading and reviewing for Sourcebook. I have just read the first couple of chapters and like the easy pace of this so far.
E-Book: Never a Bride
by Amelia Grey. There were difficulties with the eArc so plans changed on this and I should be getting a print book to read soon.
Kindle ------
Audible: Catching Fire (The Second Book of the Hunger Games) by Suzanne Collins. I am a already a quarter of the way into this book.
This is hard to put down.
Against all odds, Katniss Everdeen has won the annual Hunger Games with fellow district tribute Peeta Mellark. But it was a victory won by defiance of the Capitol and their harsh rules. Katniss and Peeta should be happy. After all, they have just won for themselves and their families a life of safety and plenty. But there are rumors of rebellion among the subjects, and Katniss and Peeta, to their horror, are the faces of that rebellion. The Capitol is angry. The Capitol wants revenge. Suzanne Collins continues the amazing story of Katniss Everdeen in Catching Fire, the second novel of the phenomenal Hunger Games trilogy.
Line Edits: The site is ready but I have to make a domain switch this week. I have been finalizing several books for release.
Upcoming books:
The second small "Tell HQ" review book.
PB: Sin Undone (Demonica, Book 5)
by Larissa Ione - Review and Hachette Giveaway 9/10.

Twenty-four are forced to enter. Only the winner survives.
In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. Each year, the districts are forced by the Capitol to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the Hunger Games, a brutal and terrifying fight to the death – televised for all of Panem to see.
Survival is second nature for sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen, who struggles to feed her mother and younger sister by secretly hunting and gathering beyond the fences of District 12. When Katniss steps in to take the place of her sister in the Hunger Games, she knows it may be her death sentence. If she is to survive, she must weigh survival against humanity and life against love.

Winner of Chat Q August 21, 2010
Thank you to those who answered the Interview Chat Post. I forgot to post it with the Giveaways... which may happen now and then so I suppose I should remind people to always check for Chat and Comment posts since I usually give away a book with those too. :)
I appreciated the comments on the interviews. I am going to try to stick with one per week and generally my Q&As run around 12 questions. I will see about scheduling some live chats and we'll see how they go.
There were some good questions some of you would ask and I may add them to some of my interviews. I do try to vary some of the Qs for each author.
And now to the winner. Congratulations to
I will email Jillian to chose a book and a gift.
