Maw Books – book reviews, book recommendations, book lists, author interviews and more!

I’m reading books faster than I can get the reviews up for them. I’ve recently been on a Young Adult/Juvenile Fiction kick so have gotten through quite a few. But now I’m back to Adult Fiction for my next few books.

I am at a constant dilemma on days like today where my nine month old and 2 year old boys are both sleeping at the same time. Bliss!! Do I relax and read? Take a nap? Do the dishes? Do the laundry? Sweep the mess off the kitchen floor from lunch? Write book reviews?  What do I do? What do I do?

Well, today I have spent the last hour perusing my Bookmarks magazine. I had several back issues to get through. And then I spent a good while discovering even more book blogs so I can constantly keep updated on what’s going on “out there.” Since last night I have added approximately 40 more books to my to be read list. These books have come from my Bookmarks magazine, book blogs, and my own bookshelf. I think if I actually commit a book on my bookshelf to the “list” it might get read. I am buying more books than I can keep up with. I haven’t updated my library collection for at least a good two months and probably have another 40 books to add to it. And then I wanted to go through and highlight the books I’ve actually read. One more thing to add to my to do list. I would love to actually read the books that I own, but lately I’ve been getting so many great book recommendations that I’ve maxed out my holds at the library!

Oh my, I actually hope I can finish this one post for the boys wake up. I’m pushing it at the moment. If the baby starts to cry, I’ll just have to hit publish and call it a day! Watch for these upcoming reviews:
