Summer is in full swing. I am not enjoying this super hot weather, but I have been inside in the air conditions reading a lot each night, so I guess it isn’t too bad.

This Week I have:
I have been bitten by the organization bug. So I have been pinning lots of editable to do lists and organization labels.
We will see how long I stick with this, but I am attempting to make a blog to do list, a cleaning to do list and to make an excel sheet of all my books (eek! That intimidates me just thinking about it)
I also signed up for COYER

Another great week and you’ve got wonderful new books. I can’t wait to read your reviews again!
Thanks Lavender!
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Organization… I need me some! My basement shelves need serious reorganization (and a bit of pruning, as well.) I need to organize and catalog my ebooks, too. Good luck with your organizing projects; I hope they go well! Also, have fun with COYER (I’m doing it too.)
I can’t wait for COYER to start 🙂 It’s my first time with it.
And the organizing is going slowly but steadily. It will probably be a week or two until I tackle my ebooks though.
that is going to take FOREVER!
Evidence of things not seen looks great! I hope you enjoy it
Come and check out OUT’s STS
And dont forget to enter the giveaways!
Leydy from OUAT & RCE
That one does look really good. I can’t wait to read it.
Thanks for stopping by Leydy 🙂
Good luck with Coyer! Sweet haul Michelle you snagged some good looking books and I look forward to your reviews!
Thanks Kimba. It is my first time participating in COYER and I can’t wait 🙂
It is funny because I don’t actually love the hot, I like the warm and the sunshine and of course getting to sleep in. But the 90 and 100 degree weather I could really do without. 😉
I extremely dislike the hot (90+) I like sunshine but humid hot weather I could do without…unless I am in a pool.
Great books for you this week! I hope you enjoy them!

Thanks Brittany 🙂
I’m off to check out your post now
Nice haul Michelle. I see several that I would like to read along with several that re new to me, which is nice. Enjoy!
Thanks for stopping by Stephanie!
I have a problem saying no to books that look interesting, as you will soon be able to tell. haha
Your new books are new to me but I adore the covers. Enjoy!
Thanks Heather! 😉
Glad you’re staying cool, Michelle. Enjoy your books and good luck with the challenge.
It is always a challenge to stay cool in S. Florida. Thank goodness for air conditioning. haha
You had a list of great reviews! I would like to see the excel sheet you create for your books. I’ve been thinking of doing this for my Netgalley ARCs, so I can plan my reading based on their publication date. Good luck with the organizing and have a great week! Thank you for visiting my blog =)
Thanks Kathy 😉
It will probably take me a few weeks to get all of my books and ebooks organized. It scared me to see them all listed out, but I need to keep track of what I have. We will see how that goes…. lol
Everything’s fine looks really interesting! Nice book haul this week. Also I love the book Love Notes, it was awesome! And so is the second book in that series.
Have a good week!
My Sunday Post
Whitney@Shooting Stars Reviews
I can’t wait to read Love Notes. I was so excited when I saw it was free. I am glad you liked it 🙂
Look at all those freebies! Life in a Rut looks like a story I might enjoy. I’ll be on the lookout for your review. Enjoy!
Those kindle freebies will be the death of me. I just can’t seem to resist them. 🙂
Ohh Evidence of Things Not Seen! I really want to read that one! And I am pretty impressed at your attempt to organize. I am such an organizational fail. I have a calendar sitting right next to my desk, and I forget to write in it. I have another next to my bed, same thing. I have apps on my phone, on my Kindle.. nope and nope. Hope you are able to keep up with it, and enjoy all the new books!
Oh, don’t be jealous yet. I am fabulous at making to-do lists. But following through with them and actually staying on track is another thing.
I found some really cool free, editable printables and I have been using them this week, so we will see if I actually stick to my new schedule.
Good luck with the organization bug! I have a calender for blog stuff and an excel spreadsheet for review books but have yet to figure out a way to organize my TBR. I’m trying out LibraryThing but we’ll have to see. Have a great week! Looks like you got some great books!
I have a calendar for my blog posts as well, but things like responding to comments, visiting new blogs, updating goodreads, my review archives, netgalley, etc. were becoming overwhelming so I have started scheduling them for different days as well.
Tackling making an actual TBR list will be a huge project in and of itself but I hope to start it in a week or two 🙂
Thanks for stopping by
I can relate, the weather’s been super hot here too these last few days. We must be soul mates in a certain way, the organization bug bit me too and my Excel sheet is now complete, one list is made and the other is on its way lol 🙂 Burnouts, geeks and Jesus freaks look funny. Have a great week !
I am super jealous your excel sheet is complete. I need to do mine still. I am aiming to have it done in two weeks.
Yea, burnouts does look funny. I am reading that later this week 🙂
These are new to me but they all have beautiful covers! Happy reading.
Thanks Jennifer!
Lots of interesting covers here! Normal is the Watchword sounds really intriguing, I love when a contemporary has a paranormal twist to it! Evidence of Things Not Seen sounds like a good one too, and such a cool cover!
Looks like you have a great week ahead too! Enjoy your new reads 🙂
Normal is the Watchword has me completely intrigued as well. I can’t wait to dive into that one. 🙂
Thanks for stopping by!
I am so looking forward to Evidence of things Not Seen, and such a pretty cover! Happy reading! 🙂
I hope you love it Kirsty-Marie.
I can’t wait to read it 🙂
The cover of “Everything’s Fine” is the same as “I Love You to Death” by Natalie Ward, I thought it was part of the series. And thanks for the free ebook links on Amazon 😀
oh wow, I had no idea they had the same cover. Not sure how I feel about that… lol
Awesome week planned. Looking forward to seeing how you liked Centaur Redemption!
Great goals for Coyer. I signed up and posted my goal post but I need to go through and reorganize my books. 🙂
I am off to check out your Pinterest boards. I’ve been bitten by that same bug. 🙂
Have a great week and happy reading and organizing. 😉
I haven’t picked my books for COYER yet. I need to make a goodreads shelf for them.
Thanks for stopping by Ginny 🙂
You have been a busy bee. It is funny how I live for summer to read outside while you have to head indoors, however I used to live in PHX so I know about heat. I will have to remember to watch your tweets for freebies! Have a wonderful week!
Thanks Heidi,
I don’t mind reading outside in the shade or even if it’s a dry heat, but it gets so humid down here that I just start to melt. haha
I’m intrigued by Everything’s Fine (based on that cover, it’s obviously not). Looks like you had a busy week over here. I’m heading over now to check out a few of the posts I missed!
no everything does not seem to be fine. haha I can’t wait to read it too.
Thanks for stopping by Nicole 😉
Quite a few of your books this week are new to me, so obviously, I must check them out!
Hopefully, when I am back to my normal schedule, I can do some organizing and cleaning! With the blog and home haha
Have a good week!
There is always more organizing and cleaning to do. Or if you are like me, you make the lists and do all of the pre-work and then the actual cleaning takes forever
I tend to spend a lot of time in the Air conditioning in the summer 🙂 I hate the heat.
You have some great reads this week!
So happy you are joining us for COYER it will be a lot of fun! Good Luck on your goal!!! I still have to make the list of books to go with the list I already made 🙂
I need to make my COYER goodreads shelf. It helps me keep track of books, but I still haven’t done that yet. There is always more to do lol
Summer just ended here in the Philippines and I didn’t enjoy the hot weather either but the best thing about summer is that it’s the time to relax and unwind and school’s out so there’s more time to read. LOL
my sunday post: http://wp.me/p3v5T1-rQ
Yep, I love relaxing and unwinding but I could do without the extreme heat. It is nice to be in the pool though.
Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Great selection. I look forward to seeing what’s happening this week.
Thanks so much Sherry 🙂
I’m so curious about Evidence of Things Unseen! I love the cover and like the concept, but decided not to request it just because of my TBR. But if people are loving it, I’ll have to change my mind. 🙂 Love the cover for Normal is the Watchword! I’m off to check that one out! Have a great week!
Oh you got some great looking freebies! I’m gonna have to head over to amazon and see if they are still free. Happy reading!
Ahh, I just cannot wait to finish the In Search of a Love Story, it’s a great light reading but not for now: the only connection I currently have with any books is spending my days in the Public Library of Vancouver doing research for my school courses…Well, at least it’s beautiful, isn’t it? http://jaybanks.ca/vancouver-blog/photo-essays/2014/05/29/vancouver-libraries/ I love to spend time there 🙂
