Today is the last day of COYER's first Summer Reading List Read-a-thon and I'm hoping to get one more book finished!
I'm a big Book Riot fan, and they have recently released a new Podcast called Annotated that is really cool! The first episode is about 1984 by George Orwell, not so much a discussion of the book itself, but the history behind it. There were some surprising things I didn't know, and I'm really looking forward to seeing what other topics Jeff and the gang at Book Riot tackle in the next episodes. I actually enjoy all of their podcasts, they currently have 6 different ones now that get new episodes, 7 if you join their premium Insiders group. Be careful if you do start listening though, because your TBR list will explode!
I kept seeing people in hammocks, relaxing and reading, so I decided to get one! Here's where you'll find me the rest of the summer!
I talked about my top ten reads of the year so far, and have a giveaway for The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas in Top Ten Tuesday.
I reviewed One Love by Amanda Shofner, my first read for the COYER Summer Reading List Read-a-thon #1.
I put up 3 new books from the subscription boxes I've joined to vote on in the My TBR List Meme for July, help me out, please vote!
I also shared my June Read - July TBR #Bookstagram posts. If you look back at my June TBR, you might notice that none of those books appear on June's Read post! lol! Best laid plans and all that. We'll see what happens for July! I just like making collages of book covers, to be honest! ;)
I'll be reviewing The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict, which I read as part of the latest Big Library Read.
On Saturday I'll be posting July's winner of the My TBR List Meme vote.
In the meantime I'll be reading in my hammock, with a glass of limeade! ;)
Yay, I want to have a hammock but still thinking where to set up. Hehe. Anyway, enjoy your books and have a wonderful week. :)
ReplyDeleteI need to give podcasts another try, I've listened toa few I like but I always get sidetracked and fall away.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a great 4th!
Hammocks are the best! I have no place to put one, but I'll imagine yours when I read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
I am going to check out the podcast. It sounds interesting and I love learning interesting tidbit. Good luck reading today :)
ReplyDeleteJealous, I want to read in a hammock too :D that is awesome. Good luck in COYER!
ReplyDeleteA hammock sounds like a great idea, if only I had room.
ReplyDeleteI always think I should try a podcast but then I think hmm I could be listing to an audiobook instead so that is what I do...lol. That book you got looks like it could be interesting as I love WW. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great week!

Week in Review
Thanks for the heads up on Annotated. I love finding new podcasts.
ReplyDeleteI think we have the same hammock! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI have no balance so I imagine I'd fall out of the hammock and sprawl ungracefully onto the grass like a dead hippo!
ReplyDeleteIt does require surprisingly more effort than I had imagined to get into and out of it! I'm getting better though, with practice!
DeleteGorgeous hammock! And thanks for sharing the podcast.
ReplyDeleteI've always dreamed about having a hammock. :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your books and have a great weekend! ~Aleen
Great week you had! I hope that Wonder Woman book is good!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my Sunday Post!
Ronyell @ Rabbit Ears Book Blog and join in this week’s Book Photo Sundays!
Since we moved in October we have had no space for the hammock, and I miss it.
ReplyDeleteEngrossed in a good book
Love the hammock idea, might have to copy you there haha!! I hope your new book is good. The new Wonder Woman film is out and I'm hoping to go see it tomorrow with my boyfriend haha!!
ReplyDeleteHope this week is good for you :)
I stopped back around to your last week's posts. Have a wonderful week. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww I wish I could read in a hammock, I get too motion sick!
