POC Books I Want to Read This Year

There are so many great new released books by people of color coming out this year. It just makes my TBR list grow by leaps and bounds.  I am going to be crushed by it one day.  As long as the list is virtual and not piling up in the house then I will be safe from being on an episode of HOARDERS.  Which is my worst nightmare!  Wait...Back on topic.  

But there are so many books that have come out that I completely missed last year and the years before that.  So this year I am going to try my best to get to these 7 books by people of color this year.  There are more than 7 of course, but these are the ones that I have on my mind the most or have had on my mind for awhile.  Four of them I own already and the other three will be purchases and hopefully within my book budget.

This list will be a mix of new releases as well as oldies but goodies and they are not in any particular order.  

Feel free joining me in posting about the POC books you plan on reading this year.

Sunday Delight: Trying to Get Back At It

Happy Sunday everyone!

 Today is the second day of Bloggiesta and I have knocked out all the easy stuff on one blog so far.  That just leaves me a day of not so easy stuff, like writing reviews and post for this blog now.  I am thrilled to be able to take a minute to do all of this blog work but I honestly need a week long Bloggiesta to really get everything I want to do DONE!  Mostly it's the review to do list that is killing me.  I have 7 reviews to do. (2 of them are mini reviews).  I am going to try and get something off of that list today.  Hopefully! I was just going over the new book spreadsheet I made and I realized I have 6 book either currenly reading or on the DNF list.  I need to stop starting new books and just focus on that list next.  I think that will be my new goal for the month of August.  Just clean up that list.

Here and Now

Dewey's Read-A-Thon 2013: Wrap Up

 

That's A Wrap! 

The April 2013 Dewey's Read-A-Thon is over!

It's 11:09 am Sunday morning and after finally waking up and cleaning up my mess in the kitchen, I am really happy about my read-a-thon.  Even though I went to bed around 11pm (Hour 19)

So here is my wrap up:

Dewey's Read-A-Thon 2013: Hour 17 - 20

 Whew! I think I can!  I think I can.

Dewey's 24 Read-A-Thon

The 15th Hour Challenge

 

Welcome to My Little Pocketbooks 

15th Hour Challenge!

This awesome read-a-thon is hosted by DEWEY'S 24 HOUR READ-A-THON

Right now it's 9:00 pm Central Time and 7:00pm here is Los Angeles, California.

How are you feeling?  Feeling a little sleepy.

 

 Well...You have been reading for 15-ish hours now.  And more than half of your food reserve is gone.  So the 9 hour stretch would look a little bit long.  But think of this...you passed the half way mark and you are almost there. 

Would a Challenge get your blood flowing again?  Get you motivated?  

What about an easy challenge with a BIG return?  

That's what I thought!

Reading Habits

Every since I started blogging about books (all of one year and three months) I have noticed a few things have changed in regards to my reading habits.  I mean it's not a real big deal, but I think it kinda goes to show you a community of people has an influence on you whether you notice it or not.   It may be a good influence, like helping others.  Or a bad act like committing a crime but like Grandma always said "Birds of a feather..." No she never finished it.  Just the first part and nothing more.  LOL! 

For some crazy unexplained reason, I wanted to share these new and different reading habits I have picked up or dropped because of you.  Yes! You!  The person reading this blog.  You!  Book bloggers mostly read this blog so this ones for you. :-)
