I actually did not complete any books this week. Mainly because we are staying with my mother short term as she had surgery and needs to be taken cared for. I have been very busy this week taking on her responsibilities (her household chores, her share of the cooking, shopping, etc.) and every night this week I sit down on the couch or lay in bed get one of my latest reads and promptly pass out. I am hoping this week will be better with a bit of strategy. Crock Pot meals, and taking preparing meals ahead of time.
This past Saturday my book club The Parchment Society got together and reviewed The Postmistress by Sarah Blake. Review to come probably later today...I will tell you this though, there were mixed feelings...
This month though, The Parchment Society is reading The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
I am also reading Pulled by Amy Lichtenhan for review as well as Kiss me slowly by Amber Lea Easton. I think I mentioned these reads as my last week reads but since I didn't get anything read last week...
After this past week I am so looking forward to getting in some good reading time:D That sounds so good:))Do you have any suggestions for books that make for great book discussions among groups?

I loved The Postmistress, but I know a lot of people didn't. I have the Philippa Gregory book on my bookshelf just waiting to be read one of these days.
Hope your mom is doing better and you get in some reading time this week! I'll be heading up to my dad's in a few weeks to help him out after he has shoulder surgery - the things we do for our parents!

Kristin-I actually did like the book:) I really am looking forward to all the books, especially the Gregory book. I have seen a few reviews on it and it looks really good.
Thank you:) She is recovering well, I'm just returning the favor, she had to deal with me growing up lol!
The Postmistress looks good. I've been wanting to read that one.
I've been wanting to read The Postmistress, I love the cover quite a bit and it sounds interesting :)
I hope your mother is recovering well and you get some time to rest and read soon!
Have a great reading week

Nice of you to be with your mom after surgery. It's hard dealing with post surgery things sometimes
I keep seeing Philippa Gregory books, but haven't yet tried one. And just reading that there are mixed feelings for Postmistress makes it sound interesting- is it?
and thanks for visiting my blog - :)
The Postmistress is on my TBR - it looks really good. Hope you enjoy your week.
Make sure you take care of yourself as well.
Thanks for dropping by and visiting.
I hope you enjoy all your books. :)
Hope your mom is feeling better quickly.
The Replacement Wife by Eileen Goudge would make for a great discussion book.
The White Queen was my first Philippa Gregory. I sort of grabbed it at random off of the library shelf. That lady has writes a lot of books!
I hope you have a great week and your mom's recovery is smooth and quick!
I hope your mom is doing better! I've never read any Philippa Gregory, but have always been intrigued by her books. One of these days....
I listened to The Postmistress not long ago and thought it worked really well as an audiobook with the radio broadcasts.
I have mixed reactions to Gregory's novels. Love some, hate others. I have a copy of The White Queen waiting to see where it falls.
Hope your mom is doing better.
