Bookquarium

You know me, always snappy in my responses to things. Not. Two weeks later, I will give you the recap of our #ArcAugust readathon, and my general book life, but it's never a bad time to talk about books, amirite? The Readathon The Positives: -Getting to see Elley, and our friend Annie -Solid reading time. -Snaaaacks. (I love you, stuffed green olives and taco dip.) -I knocked out several of my books! Specifically: The Governess Game by Tessa Dare The Mansion by Ezekiel Boone The Ghost Photographer by Julie Rieger Stars Uncharted by S.K. Dunstall Done-zo. They were all actually surprisingly good. Would recommend any of them. The Negatives: -We ended up getting a hotel - which was cool - except we shared it with like 5 basket ball teams full of high school students, all of whom were consumed with hormones and the desire to swim, so our plans for a leisurely hot tub/pool read were dashed. Also teenagers don't know how to be quiet after 10 pm. -I could have used

Do you hear that rumbling in the distance? The stomping of tiny feet, growing louder and louder by the second, threatening to overtake us all? That, my friends, is the beginning of ArcAugust, which Elley and I will be celebrating by having a party. "What the hell is ArcAugust?!" you might be thinking. Let me clarify. ArcAugust is put on by the lovely people at Read.Sleep.Repeat  . The premise is "here's a great excuse to catch up on all those arcs from Net Galley/etc that you've requested but haven't quite gotten around to yet.  Elley and I decided to book a hotel room, load up on snackies, and spend the weekend getting a chunk of reading done. (Sometimes, reading is hard with small children and/or demanding cats around.) Here's my line-up for this weekend:         I'll probably post updates/etc on here so stay tuned for goodies. What are you reading this weekend? Love, Peeks.
