September is Hispanic Heritage Month

National Hispanic Heritage Month 2013 

begins on Sunday, September 15 and ends on Tuesday, October 15

Yes it is!  Along with Back to School Month for almost everyone under the age of 21.  But as much as I can, I try to give you all (book bloggers) an opportunity to find a few good reads to help diversify your bookshelves.   There are so many great writers out there creating amazing books with Hispanic main characters, history and culture and they are not getting enough of our attention.  (That is of course my opinion only)  But you rarely see an author of Hispanic origin on a book blogger tour or their books getting many reviews from book bloggers.

August 2013: Wrap Up

I am finally caught up on all (almost all) my blog post from June and July.  Whew!  I won't do that again.  I should say I will try not to do that again.  

Confession time!  I have been in a reading slump for some time now and I think it was BEA's fault.  I was so OVERWHELMED with so many books in my house after I got home that I didn't know what to do.  Where to start and I just didn't want to look at books for awhile?  *gasp* I know!  I said it!  But I think I am coming out of it.  SLOWWWWLY! So that is enough chatting let's get to the wrap up for August.  I love this only when I have hit my personal goal.  Nope I am not telling you what it is.  I just have a number, a small number in my head for the number of books read and reviewed on my blog.  Ok!  Now here are the stats.

I posted 21 post on this blog and August was Native American Heritage Month.

  

  This month I bought
  1 books. (A total of 7 book so far this year.  Audiobooks and e-books don't count since they don't take up space on my bookcase.)

Labor Day

I should take today off from blogging.  Humm!  After my two and half month hiatus, it wouldn't be justified.  But it was a nice thought.  

Enjoy the day off!

Sunday Best #43

 

Hosted by Tanya at Girlxoxo.com

 
How was your week everyone?  I am so glad to be back blogging on a regular.  I have to say that I am putting pressure on myself to get caught up on my reviews. As I finish one, I get a big sigh of relief.  I know there is no one holding me to it...but...you know.

Now on to Sunday Best.
